How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment > Keyless
Entry Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 911
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 966
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
Anti-Lock Brake Control Module
NOTE: The new anti-lock brake control module must be reconfigured upon installation.
The anti-lock brake control module is mounted to the HCU. It is an on-board diagnostic,
non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and the necessary circuitry for their
operation. The anti-lock brake control module monitors system operation during normal driving as
well as during anti-lock braking. Anti-lock brake module operation is as follows: ^
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessor produces short test pulses to the solenoid
valves that check the electrical system without any mechanical reaction.
^ Impending wheel lock conditions trigger signals from the anti-lock brake control module that open
and close the appropriate solenoid valves. This results in moderate pulsations in the brake pedal.
During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake system. Most faults
that occur in the anti-lock brake system will be stored as a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the
keep-alive memory of the anti-lock brake control module. The DTCs can be retrieved by following
the on-board diagnostic procedures.

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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,

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1157
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

These 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.

Article 02-5-8 is being republished in its entirety to update the Service Procedure and to clarify
build dates for Explorer.
This article applies to all vehicles listed with the exception of 2002 Explorer. This article applies to
2002 Explorer (SLAP) St. Louis Assembly Plant built before 3/11/2002 and 2002 Explorer (LAP)
Louisville Assembly Plant built before 3/4/2002 only.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit an inoperative or inaccurate speedometer, 4x4 lamp illuminated, and/or
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) P1635 or P1639 present after a Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) or Instrument Cluster replacement. This may be caused by the Vehicle Identification (VID)
block that must be programmed when replacing the PCM.
ACTION
As part of the calibration, there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM. Failure to perform the proper
Programmable Module Installation procedure may generate fault code: P1639 VID Block not
programmed or is corrupt--P1635 Tire/Axle Out Of Acceptable Range. Refer to the following
procedures to ensure the PCM is properly configured.

Service Procedure
NGS Procedure "A" will prevent P1639/P1635 from setting. In the event either code is set, use one
of the following NGS Procedures "B" or "C" or WDS Procedure "D" to ensure the PCM is properly
configured.
NOTE
THE FOLLOWING NGS PROCEDURES MUST BE PERFORMED USING THE NGS FLASH
CABLE.
Procedure A - NGS PREFERRED Method To Prevent P1635/P1639
1. With the original PCM installed and using the NGS service card, select "Programmable Module
Installation".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Retrieve Module Config-Old ECU".
4. After the Module data has been stored, install the new PCM, press CANCEL to return to the
menu and select "Restore Module Config-New ECU".
This procedure will retrieve the VID data from the original PCM and store it into the new PCM. If the
original PCM will not communicate, install the new PCM and start the procedure over at Step 1. If
the new PCM VID is blank, the NGS will direct you to contact the As-Built Data center during Step
a above. Obtain As-Built Data from the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website and
manually enter the PCM data from the As-Built Data sheet as the NGS asks for it. After the data
has been entered, continue to Step 4 above.
Procedure B - NGS Alternative Method
1. Using NGS service card, select "Service Bay Functions".

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE - VEHICLE SPEED OUTPUT (VSO)
The PCM-VSO (Powertrain Control Module - Vehicle Speed Output) speed signal subsystem
generates vehicle speed information for distribution to the vehicle's electrical/electronic modules
and subsystems that require vehicle speed data. This subsystem senses the transmission output
shaft speed with a sensor. The data is processed by the PCM, and distributed as a hard-wired
signal or as a multiplexed data message.
The key features of the PCM-VSO system are to:
^ Infer vehicle movement from the output shaft sensor signal
^ Convert transmission output shaft rotational information to vehicle speed information
^ Compensate for tire size and axle ratio with a programmed calibration variable
^ Utilize a transfer case sensor for four wheel drive applications
^ Distribute vehicle speed information as a multiplexed message and/or an analog signal
The signal from a non-contact shaft sensor (Output Shaft Sensor--OSS or Transfer Case Shaft
Sensor--TCSS) mounted on the transmission (automatics, manuals, or 4X4 transfer cases) is
sensed directly by the PCM. The PCM converts the OSS or TCSS information to 8000 pulses per
mile, based on a tire and axle ratio conversion factor. This conversion factor is programmed into
the PCM at the time the vehicle is assembled and can be reprogrammed in the field for servicing
changes in the tire size and axle ratio. The PCM transmits the computed vehicle speed and
distance traveled information to all the vehicle speed signal users on the vehicle. VSO information
can be transmitted by a hard-wired interface between the vehicle speed signal user and the PCM,
or by Speed and Odometer SCP multiplexed data messages.
The VSO hard-wired signal wave form is a DC square wave with a voltage level of 0 to VBAT.
Typical output operating range is 2.22Hz per MPH (1.3808 Hz pr 1 Km/h). Multiplexed data for
speed and distance data are transmitted as separate SCP messages over the SCP multiplex link.

Powertrain Control Module: Service and Repair Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read
Only Memory
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory - Flash EEPROM
Description
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory (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
reprogrammed or reflashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM as under Programming the VID Block for
a Replacement PCM. Failure to perform this procedure may generate fault code: P1639, VID Block
not programmed or is corrupt. The VID block in an existing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). can
also be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production.
Failure to perform this procedure properly may generate fault code: P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of
Acceptable Range. 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 VIN number, octane adjust, fuel octane,
fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the presence of speed control and four wheel
drive electronic shift on the fly versus manual shift on the fly. Only items applicable to vehicle
hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to flash the PCM
again to reset the VID block.
Each of the procedures described below use the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
Reprogramming can be performed by a local Ford dealer for any non Ford facility. There are other
Enhanced Scan Tools that may have reprogramming capabilities available. Refer to the diagnostic
tool manufacturers users manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and will need programming. There are two procedures available. The
first is an automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM and the second is manual data
entry into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been replaced.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and is incapable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. 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 L-M
technician's, contact your National Hotline for "AS Built" data. Non Ford technicians, use the Fed
World website at "fedworld.gov". Select Auto Service Information and search for "Calibrations" or
"Vehicle Calibrations" then specify vehicle manufacturer, model name and model year as required.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate vehicle hardware. Refer to PCM/Module Reprogramming on the Scan Tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM will need 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 PCM/Module Reprogramming on the 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)
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Restraint Systems > Air Bag Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Restraints - Control Module DTCs & Associated Fault PIDs > Page
1329
^ 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: Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these
charges, damage can result.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) carries out the following functions:
^ signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
^ monitors the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) for faults.
^ illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
^ flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) detected.
^ communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current or historical Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).
^ signals the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the RCM and is not serviced separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, the RCM will flash 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 six seconds and then off for two seconds. After the prove out, the air bag indicator will then flash
the two-digit LFC for any current SRS fault. If an SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will flash the
LFC five times, and then remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also
communicate the current and historical DTCs through the DLC, to the scan tool. If the air bag
indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the GEM
to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is
heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be
displayed.
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 damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors determine that a deployment is required. The backup power supply will deplete its
stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

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 Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Control Module >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Restraints - Control Module DTCs & Associated Fault PIDs > Page
1373
^ 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.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1399
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1402
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

is important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
Warning Switch, Brake Fluid Level
The brake master cylinder fluid level warning switch is an integral part of the brake master cylinder
reservoir. It consists of a float containing a magnet and a reed switch mounted in the bottom of the
brake master cylinder reservoir. When the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir gets to
a predetermined level, the floating magnet actuates the reed switch, causing the red brake warning
indicator to illuminate. Loss of brake fluid will cause this system to activate.

Anti-Lock Brake Sensor
NOTE: Any time an anti-lock brake sensor is removed, thoroughly clean the mounting surfaces. On
front anti-lock brake sensors, apply High-Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease
E8TZ-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C198-A.
The anti-lock brake system uses three variable-reluctance sensors to determine vehicle speed. The
anti-lock brake sensors operate on magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the anti-lock brake
sensor indicator rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation
is generated and sent to the anti-lock brake control module through a twisted cable and shielded
wiring harness.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor (Figure 26) is a thermistor device in which
resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as
temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects
the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is installed in the aluminum 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 would then initiate a fail-safe cooling strategy based on
information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system failure 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. For additional information, refer to
Powertrain Control Software for Fail-Safe Cooling Strategy details.

SCDS Identification
The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Recall 05S28 and the revised SCDS is
illustrated below. See Figure 1.
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector. A jumper adapter (which is
included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS.
SCDS Location
In most late model year vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder.
In early model year vehicles (1992-1998), the SCDS may be located on the master cylinder but is
often found on a brake line distribution block or on the brake proportioning valve. If in doubt, just
follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found.
^ On early model year E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is located on the left frame rail.
^ On E-450 models only, remove the 3 screws and position the coolant degas bottle forward to
allow access to the SCDS and servo.
^ On F-53 vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it may be located in a brake

SCDS Identification
The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Recall 05S28 and the revised SCDS is
illustrated below. See Figure 1.
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector. A jumper adapter (which is
included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS.
SCDS Location
In most late model year vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder.
In early model year vehicles (1992-1998), the SCDS may be located on the master cylinder but is
often found on a brake line distribution block or on the brake proportioning valve. If in doubt, just
follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found.
^ On early model year E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is located on the left frame rail.
^ On E-450 models only, remove the 3 screws and position the coolant degas bottle forward to
allow access to the SCDS and servo.
^ On F-53 vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it may be located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder. It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
^ On 1993 MARK VIII vehicles, the steering wheel intermediate shaft needs to be disconnected
from the inside of the vehicle and the outside of the vehicle, and then positioned upwards to gain
access to the SCDS.
- When the intermediate steering shaft is disconnected, the steering wheel must be in the LOCK
position to prevent damage to the clockspring.
- During installation of the intermediate steering shaft, new bolts must be installed. Tighten the bolts
to 49 Nm (36 lb-ft).
^ On 1994-1998 MARK VIII vehicles, the SCDS is located underneath the right front fender splash
shield in front of the right front wheel. It is not necessary to remove the right front wheel to access
the SCDS. Turn the wheel all the way right and position the front of the fender splash shield aside.
^ On all Mark VIII vehicles (except 1993), the speed control servo is located underneath the left
front fender splash shield in front of the left front wheel.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the top of the suction
accumulator.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C cycling switch, presses in on the
Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the suction pressure inside the suction accumulator to control the operation of the A/C
cycling switch.
- The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops, The contacts close when
the suction pressure rises. Refer to specifications regarding operating pressure(s).
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts close, the signal to energize the A/C clutch is sent to the
wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay.
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts open, the A/C clutch field coil is de-energized and
compressor operation stops.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of air flow.
- It is not necessary to Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the
A/C cycling switch.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Air Conditioning Cycling Switch
PCM Inputs
AIR CONDITIONING CYCLING SWITCH
The Air Conditioning (A/C) cycling switch may be wired to either the A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS) or
ACPSW Powertrain Control Module (PCM) input. When the A/C cycling switch opens, the PCM will
turn off the Air Conditioning (A/C) clutch For information on the specific function of the A/C cycling
switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.
The A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS) circuit to the PCM provides a voltage signal which indicates when
the A/C is requested. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and both the A/C cycling switch
and the high pressure contacts of the A/C high pressure switch (if equipped and in circuit) are
closed, voltage is supplied to the ACCS circuit at the PCM. Refer to Vehicle/Diagrams for vehicle
specific wiring.
If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate.
For additional information, refer to PCM outputs, wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff. See:
Powertrain Management/Description and Operation/PCM Outputs
NOTE: Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C
is requested. This information is received by the PCM through the BUS + and BUS - Standard
Corporate Protocol (SCP) communication.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Air Conditioning High Pressure
Switch
The A/C pressure cutoff switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high
system discharge pressures.
- The A/C pressure cutoff switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the high pressure
side of the A/C manifold and tube.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C pressure cutoff switch, presses on
the Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the A/C pressure cutoff switch to monitor the compressor discharge pressure.
- When the compressor discharge pressure rises, the switch contacts open, disengaging the A/C
compressor. When the pressure drops, the contacts close to allow operation of the A/C
compressor. Refer to specifications regarding operating pressure(s).
- It is not necessary to Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the
A/C pressure cutoff switch.

COMPONENT TESTING PROCEDURE (Voltage Applied)
Disconnect the ohmmeter; connect pin 6 using a fused (10A) jumper to 12V DC power and pin 9 to
ground. Measure the voltage between pin 8 and pin 9 while rotating the thumbwell from full
illumination to no illumination. If the voltage smoothly decreases from near 12 volts to near 0 volts,
the illumination dimmer is okay. If not, replace the main light switch.

Brake Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
Typical Brake Pedal Position Switch
The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch (Figure 21) is used by the PCM to disengage the
transmission torque converter clutch and on some applications as an input to the idle speed control
for idle quality. On most applications the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and supplies battery
positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied. On other applications the BPP switch
signal is broadcast over the SCP link via another module to be received by the PCM.
On applications where the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and stoplamp circuit, if all
stoplamp bulbs are burned out (open), high voltage is present at the PCM due to a pull-up resistor
in the PCM. This provides fail-safe operation in the event the circuit to the stop amp bulbs has
failed.

Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
THERMAL MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) Sensor
The Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (TMAP) (Figure 41) consists of a Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and an integrated thermistor. The thermistor part of the sensor is
currently not being used. The MAP part of the sensor measures intake manifold air absolute
pressure. The PCM uses information from the MAP sensor, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, Mass Air
Flow (MAF) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CKP)
sensor and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to determine how much exhaust gas is introduced
into the intake manifold.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No.1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor (Figure 22)
and the two pin connector variable reluctance sensor (Figure 23).

Clutch Switch: Description and Operation
CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch (Figure 24) is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch
pedal position and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement
position and the gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference Vehicle Reference
Voltage (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP
signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP and PNP switches are closed) is closed,
indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL position, the output
voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal return line to the PCM, and there is 1
volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load on the engine. If the CPP switch (or
PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on the vehicle) is open, meaning the
clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not in NEUTRAL position (PNP
switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be approximately 5 volts. Then, the
5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine. The PCM uses the load
information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor (Figure 26) is a thermistor device in which
resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as
temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects
the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is installed in the aluminum 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 would then initiate a fail-safe cooling strategy based on
information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system failure 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. For additional information, refer to
Powertrain Control Software for Fail-Safe Cooling Strategy details.

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of fuel spark and MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) AT sensors. Both sensors operate as above.
However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/cold
weather input, while a second sensor Second Intake Air Temperature (IAT2) is located after the
supercharger in the intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air
temperature information to the PCM to control border-line spark and to help determine intercooler
efficiency.

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

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

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

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

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 1860
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 1861
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 1862
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 1863
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Description and Operation > Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
Heated Oxygen Sensor Monitor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S
sensors for a malfunction or deterioration which can affect emissions. The fuel control or upstream
HO2S is checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time it takes to switch from lean
to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper
output voltage. The following illustration shows that input is required from the Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT), Intake Air Temperature (IAT), Mass Air
Flow (MAF) and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensors to activate the HO2S Monitor. The Fuel
System Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the
HO2S Monitor is enabled.
1. The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel
ratio of approximately 14.7:1), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich
of stoichiometric, the HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt. The HO2S Monitor
evaluates both the upstream (fuel control) and downstream (Catalyst Monitor) HO2S for proper
function.
2. Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream HO2S signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is
determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to a maximum calibratable threshold voltage. A
fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate. A HO2S
heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a corresponding
change in the Output State Monitor (OSM) and by measuring the current going through the heater
circuit. The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) associated with HO2S lack of switching are DTCs P1130,
P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151 and P1152.
The DTCs associated with HO2S slow response rate are DTCs P0133 and P0153.
The DTCs associated with HO2S signal circuit malfunction are DTCs P0131, P0136, P0148, P0151
and P0156.
The DTCs associated with a HO2S heater circuit malfunction are DTCs P0135, P0141, P0155 and
P0161. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) associated with the downstream HO2S not running in
on-demand is DTC P1127.
The DTCs associated with swapped HO2S connectors are DTCs P1128 and P1129.
3. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive
drive cycles.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation PCM Inputs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (Figure 33) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and
produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of
oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust produces a low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low
concentration of oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The
HO2S provides feedback to the PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near
stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a
voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The Vehicle Power (VPWR) circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will
complete the ground when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater
and heater control system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed
loop fuel control temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style
3.3 ohm heater.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Tube Mounted Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
TUBE MOUNTED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation PCM Inputs
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Typical Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (Figure 42) is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a
signal to the PCM that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing
has a three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases
corrosion resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on
the throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those conditions are closed throttle (includes idle or
deceleration), part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration), wide open throttle (includes
maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank), and throttle angle rate.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The TP sensor monitors throttle position and provides an electrical signal to the PCM. It is
monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system for component integrity, system
functionality, and faults that can cause emissions levels to exceed standards set in government
regulations. For additional information on the TP sensor, refer to Electronic EC System
Hardware-PCM Inputs.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (Figure 45) is a variable reluctance or Hall-effect sensor that
generates a waveform with a frequency that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the
vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity, the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As
the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM
uses the frequency signal generated by the VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as
fuel injection, ignition control, transmission/transaxle shift scheduling and torque converter clutch
scheduling.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 31) is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which
resistance changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as
pressure increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the
voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding
to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 32) senses the pressure difference between the fuel
rail and the intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel
system. The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature
provides an indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature
feedback signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump
sustains fuel rail pressure which preserve fuel in its liquid state. The dynamic range of the fuel
injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the injector pulse width to
decrease.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation
Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch (Figure 72) is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump.
The purpose of the IFS switch is to shut off the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel
ball held in place by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the
magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the
switch and shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the Owner Guide for the location of the IFS.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation PCM Inputs
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Typical Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (Figure 42) is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a
signal to the PCM that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing
has a three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases
corrosion resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on
the throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those conditions are closed throttle (includes idle or
deceleration), part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration), wide open throttle (includes
maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank), and throttle angle rate.

The TP sensor monitors throttle position and provides an electrical signal to the PCM. It is
monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system for component integrity, system
functionality, and faults that can cause emissions levels to exceed standards set in government
regulations. For additional information on the TP sensor, refer to Electronic EC System

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No.1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor (Figure 22)
and the two pin connector variable reluctance sensor (Figure 23).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
These 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 Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagnostic Aids
These 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: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a thermistor-type sensor that varies a reference
voltage signal. The resistance in the TFT varies with temperature. The powertrain control module
(PCM) monitors the voltage signal across the TFT, and uses this information to determine the
transmission fluid temperature.
The TFT is located on the main control body wiring harness assembly.
The PCM uses the TFT signal to help determine shift scheduling, torque converter clutch operation
and electronic pressure control (EPC).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

ISSUE The cam bolt and nut kit that was used for adjusting caster and camber on all torsion bar
and coil spring front suspensions has been discontinued. If the caster and camber settings need to
be adjusted, a washer must now be installed.
The right hand upper control arm design changed from a two piece design to a single piece design
during the 2003 model year. The single piece design is now the only version of the upper control
arm available for service of prior model year Rangers.
ACTION Use the following Camber And Caster Adjustment procedure when either camber or
caster need to be adjusted on any suspension, or if only a caster split adjustment is needed on a
vehicle equipped with single piece upper control arm.
Use the following Caster Split Adjustment - Two Piece Right Hand Upper Control Arm procedure if
only a caster split adjustment is needed on a vehicle equipped with a two piece upper control arm.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
CAMBER AND CASTER ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
THE UPPER CONTROL ARM-TO-FRAME MOUNTING BOLTS HAVE SET SHIMS THAT MUST
BE REPLACED WITH WASHERS TO ALLOW FOR ADJUSTMENT OF THE ARM IN THE FRAME

WHEEL ALIGNMENT ANGLES
Caster and camber are adjusted by means of eccentric cams on the upper control arm mounting
bolts. Toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie-rod.
Negative and Positive Camber
Camber Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive
or negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when
viewed from the side. The caster specifications will give the vehicle the best directional stability
characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
Positive Toe (Toe In)

Ride Height
Wheel Track
Wheel Track
Dogtracking
Dogtracking Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily
crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
Wander Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering
wheel corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
Shimmy Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the
steering wheel resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements. Shimmy is usually
experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire contacts pot holes
or irregularities in the road surface.
Nibble Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with
various road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering
wheel.
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.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 2260
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 (i.e., wind, road camber).
Poor Groove Feel Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the
steering wheel as the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or
straight-ahead (under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center."
^
Under 20 degrees of turn, most of the turning effort that builds up comes from the mesh of gear
teeth in the steering gear. In this range, the steering wheel is not yet turned enough to feel the
effort from the self-aligning forces at the road wheel or tire patch.
^ In the diagnosis of a readability problem, it is important to understand the difference between
wander and poor groove feel.

The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading.

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

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

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

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

ISSUE This TSB article describes Ford Motor Company's position on the use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolants.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 2412
Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with
propylene glycol. Although the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty is not automatically voided upon
the use of a coolant made with propylene glycol, if such use results in damage to the vehicle or its
components, the cost of repairing the damage would not be covered by the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

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

TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE INJURY, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM
BACKUP POWER SUPPLY MUST BE DEPLETED BEFORE REPAIRING ANY CLIMATE
CONTROL COMPONENTS. TO DEPLETE THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY, DISCONNECT THE
BATTERY GROUND CABLE AND WAIT ONE MINUTE.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DANGEROUS. IF IT IS NECESSARY
TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH VEHICLE IN A CLOSED AREA SUCH AS A GARAGE,
ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES OUTSIDE THE
CLOSED AREA.
R-134A IS CLASSIFIED AS A SAFE REFRIGERANT, BUT MISUSE CAN MAKE IT
DANGEROUS. THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN REPAIRING AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.
- AVOID CONTACT WITH LIQUID REFRIGERANT R-134A. R-134A VAPORIZES AT
APPROXIMATELY -25°C (-13°F) UNDER ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND IT WILL FREEZE
SKIN TISSUE.
- NEVER ALLOW REFRIGERANT R-134A GAS TO ESCAPE IN QUANTITY IN AN OCCUPIED
SPACE. R-134A IS NON-TOXIC, BUT IT WILL DISPLACE THE OXYGEN NEEDED TO
SUPPORT LIFE.
- NEVER USE A TORCH IN AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING R-134A GAS. R-134A IS
NON-TOXIC AT ALL NORMAL CONDITIONS, BUT WHEN IT IS EXPOSED TO HIGH
TEMPERATURES, SUCH AS A TORCH FLAME, IT DECOMPOSES. ONE OF THE PRODUCTS
OF THE CHEMICAL BREAKDOWN IS A PHOSGENE GAS, WHICH IS HIGHLY TOXIC.
- DO NOT ALLOW ANY PORTION OF THE CHARGED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TO
BECOME TOO HOT. THE PRESSURE IN AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RISES AS THE
TEMPERATURE RISES AND TEMPERATURES OF APPROXIMATELY 85°C (185°F) CAN BE
DANGEROUS.
- ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL SUFFICIENTLY PRIOR TO PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
OR SERIOUS BURNS AND INJURY CAN OCCUR.
DUE TO REFRIGERANT HAZARDS, ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AND

Refrigerant: Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the vehicle or A/C components, the following precautions must be observed. The A/C refrigerant of all vehicles must be identified and analyzed prior to refrigerant charging.
Failure to due so can contaminate the shop bulk refrigerant and other vehicles.
- Do not add R-12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of R-134a refrigerant. These
two types of refrigerant must never be mixed. Doing so can damage the A/C system.
- Charge the A/C system with the engine running only at the low-pressure side to prevent
refrigerant slugging from damaging the A/C compressor.
- Use only R-134a refrigerant. Due to environmental concerns, when the air conditioning system is
drained, the refrigerant must be collected using refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Federal
law REQUIRES that R-134a be recovered into appropriate recovery equipment and the process be
conducted by qualified technicians who have been certified by an approved organization, such as
MACS, ASI, etc. Use of a recovery machine dedicated to R-134a is necessary to reduce the
possibility of oil and refrigerant incompatibility concerns. Refer to the instructions provided by the
equipment manufacturer when removing refrigerant from or charging the air conditioning system.
- Refrigerant R-134a must not be mixed with air for leak testing or used with air for any other
purpose above atmospheric pressure. R-134a is combustible When mixed with high concentrations
of air and higher pressures.
- A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products that are described as direct
substitutes for Refrigerant R-134a. The use of any unauthorized substitute refrigerant can severely
damage the A/C components. If repair is required, use only new or recycled Refrigerant R-134a.
- Use a back-up wrench to prevent damage to the tubes.
To avoid contamination of the A/C system: Never open or loosen a connection recovering the refrigerant using approved equipment.
- When loosening a connection, if any residual pressure is evident, allow it to leak out before
opening the fitting.
- Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure on a system that has been opened
to install a new component or one that has discharged through leakage before charging.
- Seal open fittings with a cap or plug immediately after disconnecting a component from the
system.
- Clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly before disconnecting a component from the system.
- Do not remove the sealing caps from a new component until ready to install.
- Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open an oil
container until ready to use, and install the cap immediately after using. Store the oil in a clean,
moisture-free container.
- Install a new O-ring seal before connecting an open fitting. Coat the fitting and O-ring seal with
refrigerant oil before connecting.
- When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends. Position the line away from the exhaust or
any sharp edges that can chafe the line.
- Tighten threaded fittings only to specifications. The steel and aluminum fittings used in the
refrigerant system will not tolerate overtightening.
- When disconnecting a fitting, use a wrench on both halves of the fitting to prevent twisting of the
refrigerant lines or tubes.
- Do not open a refrigerant system or uncap a new component unless it is as close as possible to
room temperature. This will prevent condensation from forming inside a component that is cooler
than the surrounding air.
- Good ventilation is necessary in the area where electronic A/C leak testing is to be carried out. If
the surrounding air is contaminated with refrigerant gas, the leak detector will indicate this gas all
the time. Odors from other chemicals such as anti-freeze, diesel fuel, disc brake cleaner, or other
cleaning solvents can cause the same problem. A fan, even in a well-ventilated area, is very helpful
in removing small traces of contamination from the air that might affect the leak detector.
- During normal A/C operation, oil is circulated through the system with the refrigerant, and a small
amount is retained in each component. If certain components of the system are removed for new
installation, some of the refrigerant oil will go with the component. To maintain the original total oil
charge, it is necessary to compensate for the oil lost by adding oil to the system with the new part.
- If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment.

Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure
Refrigerant: Service and Repair Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure
Special Tool(s)
SPECIAL TOOL(S)
NOTE: Ford Motor Company recommends use of an A/C service center to carry out recovery,
evacuation, and charging of the refrigerant system. If an A/C service center is not available,
refrigerant system recovery, evacuation, and charging may be accomplished using a separate
recovery station, vacuum pump, charging cylinder, and manifold gauge set.
Refrigerant System Recovery
1. Prior to recovering the refrigerant system, you must verify the purity of the refrigerant. 2. Connect
an R-134a A/C service center to the low- and high-pressure service gauge port valves.
NOTE: Some R-134a service centers require the use of an A/C manifold gauge set.
3. Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the refrigerant from the
system following the operating instructions
provided by the equipment manufacturer.
4. Once the service center has recovered the vehicle A/C system refrigerant, close the service
center inlet valve (if equipped). Then switch off the
power supply.
5. Allow the vehicle A/C system to remain closed for about two minutes. Observe the system
vacuum level on the gauge. If the vacuum does not
decrease, disconnect the refrigerant center hose(s).
6. If the system vacuum does decrease, repeat Steps 2 through 5 until the vacuum level remains
stable for two minutes. 7. Carry out the required repairs.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair Identifying Refrigerants
Delux A/C Refrigerant Analyzer
SPECIAL TOOL(S)
1. Follow the instructions included with the Deluxe Refrigerant Diagnostic Tool to obtain the sample
for testing.
NOTE: An A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used to identify gas samples taken directly from the
refrigeration system or storage containers prior to recovering or charging the refrigerant system.
2. The diagnostic tool will display one of the following:
- If the purity level of R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, the green "PASS" light emitting
diode (LED) will light. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbons, and air will
be displayed on the digital display.
- If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet the 98% purity levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light and
a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12,
R-22, and hydrocarbons will be displayed on the digital display.
- If hydrocarbon concentrations are 2% or greater by weight, the red "FAIL" LED will light,
"Hydrocarbon High" will be displayed on the digital display, and a horn will sound alerting the user
of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22,and hydrocarbons will also
be displayed on the digital display.
3. The percentage of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is
98% or greater. The diagnostic tool eliminates the
effect of air when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a
contaminant, although air can affect A/C system performance. When the diagnostic tool has
determined that a refrigerant source is pure (R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight) and air
concentration levels are 2% or greater by weight, the diagnostic tool will prompt the user if an air
purge is desired.
4. If contaminated refrigerant is detected, repeat the refrigerant identification test to verify that the
refrigerant is indeed contaminated. 5. Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery
Procedure to remove any contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment
designed for capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant.
CAUTION: If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into R-134a or
R-12 recovery/recycling equipment.

evacuation, and charging of the refrigerant system. If an A/C service center is not available,
refrigerant system recovery, evacuation, and charging may be accomplished using a separate
recovery station, vacuum pump, charging cylinder, and manifold gauge set.
Refrigerant System Evacuation
1. Connect an R-134a service center to the low- and high-pressure service gauge port valves. 2.
Evacuate the system until the low-pressure gauge reads at least 99.4 kPa (29.5 in-Hg) of vacuum
and as close to 101.1 kPa (30 in-Hg) as
possible. Continue to operate the vacuum pump for a minimum of 45 minutes.
3. Turn off the vacuum pump. Observe the low-pressure gauge for five minutes to make sure that
the system vacuum is held. If vacuum is not held
for five minutes, leak test the system, service the leak, and evacuate the system again.
Refrigerant System Charging
1. Correctly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of refrigerant oil is present in the
system. See: Refrigerant Oil Addition. 2. Charge the system with the specified amounts of
refrigerant oil and refrigerant. 3. When no more refrigerant is being drawn into the system, start the
engine and select MAX A/C operation. Adjust the blower motor speed to the
maximum and allow the remaining refrigerant to be drawn into the system. Continue to add
refrigerant into the system until the specified weight of R-134a has been added. Close the charging
cylinder valve and allow the system to pull any remaining refrigerant from the hose. When the
low-pressure drops to approximately 207 kPa (30 psi), close the charging hose valve.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair Prove Out Procedure
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position and visually monitor the air bag indicator
with the air bag modules or restraint system diagnostic tools installed. The air bag indicator will light
continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
^ fail to light.
^ remain lit continuously.
^ flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the RUN position. This is the time required for the Restraints Control
Module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an
SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2548
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2607
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
These 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.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
Check Engine, Service Engine Soon Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (Figure 15) alerts the driver that the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) has detected an OBD II emission-related component or system fault. When this
occurs, an OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
^ The MIL is located on the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or ISO standard engine symbol (Figure 16).
^ Power is supplied to the MIL whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.
^ The MIL will remain on in the RUN/START mode as a bulb check during the instrument cluster
proveout for approximately 4 seconds.
^ If the MIL remains on after the bulb check: The PCM illuminates the MIL for an emission related concern and a DTC will be present.
- The instrument cluster will illuminate the MIL if the PCM does not send a control message to the
instrument cluster.
- The PCM is operating in the Hardware Limited Operation Strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL circuit is shorted to ground.
^ If the MIL remains off (during the bulb check): Bulb is damaged.
- MIL circuit is open.
^ To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the Scan Tool must be sent, or three
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a fault.
^ For any MIL concern, GO to Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection.
^ If the MIL blinks at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition could possibly exist.
^ If the MIL blinks erratically, an intermittent open B+ to the bulb or an intermittent short to ground
in the MIL circuit exist. Also, the PCM can reset while cranking if battery voltage is low.

Oil Change Reset
Press the OIL CHANGE RESET control to reset the oil life feature to 100% (or your personalized
oil reset percentage) (at optimal driving conditions, 100% oil life is equivalent to a maximum of
12,000 kilometers [7,500 miles]). After you have the oil changed, you must press and hold the OIL
CHANGE RESET control for five seconds. The message center will count down for five seconds.
After a successful reset, the message center will display OIL LIFE RESET TO 100%. (If you have
established a personalized oil reset percentage, the display will show that percentage instead of
100%.) This reset procedure should be performed only after an oil change to ensure accurate oil
life indications.
Your personalized oil reset percentage allows you to establish a smaller oil change interval than
the manufacturer's recommended interval. To establish your personalized oil reset percentage:
1. Press and hold the OIL CHANGE RESET control and press the RESET control while the display
is still counting gown the five seconds to
reset. The display will change to START OIL LIFE AT XXX%.
2. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET control until the displayed percentage is the personalized oil
reset percentage you desire. Your choices are
100%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% 40% and 30%.
3. Press the RESET control to complete the procedure. Pressing any control other than RESET of
OIL CHANGE RESET will abort this
procedure and will not establish your new personalized oil reset percentage.
When your personalized oil reset percentage has been established, it will be used beginning with
the completion of your next OIL CHANGE RESET procedure.

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

Recycle Program". You may still claim any applicable local waste tax - enter OTHER in the
expense area of the claim with the actual cost.
^ Enter each unique (complete 10 or 11 digit) DOT codes of the replaced tires on the diagnostic
code entry screen in the field marked "other". If the DOT codes cannot be completely entered in the

entry.
RELATED DAMAGE
Vehicle damage caused by a tire related failure is not covered by this program. Refer to the
Warranty and Policy Manual for proper claiming procedure for vehicles covered by the Ford
Bumper-to-Bumper Tire Warranty (model years 2001 and 2002). All other pre-2001 model year
vehicles with alleged tire related vehicle damage should be handled through the Firestone claims
process, or by referring the customers to their insurance company.
Damage related to replacement of tires should be handled as described in the Warranty and Policy
Manual.
OWNER REFUND
With the increased availability of replacement tires, it will no longer be necessary for customers to
pay out-of-pocket expenses for tires. Therefore, refund requests for tires purchased after
November 15, 2001 will no longer be granted. Owners will be notified of the refund expiration date
and will be directed to a Ford or Mercury dealer They are directed to an authorized retailer only if
the Ford or Mercury dealer cannot meet their scheduling needs or tires are not in stock. All Ford
and Mercury dealers (AtW and non-AtW dealers) are required to process refunds for customers
who purchase tires prior to November 15, 2001.
The following rules apply to refunds for tires purchased from August 1, 2001 through November 15,
2001:
Refunds will be processed for vehicles listed under "AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES", and for
other Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles that have 15-. 16-, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires
installed.
^ The customer must provide the original paid receipt (a copy of their paid receipt is acceptable on
an exception basis in instances where the owner requires the original for another purpose (e.g.
extended tire warranty or purchase rebate). The dealer will attach the receipt to the dealer file copy
of the refund claim (see claim instructions below).
^ Dealers will be reimbursed to immediately disable tires returned for a refund (see claiming
instructions for refunds and Attachment II for labor operations).
^ The tires must be purchased August 1, 2000 through November 15, 2001 to be eligible for a
refund (through October 31, 2001 for 1995 and 1996 F-150 owners).
^ Customers requesting refunds for tire replacement May 22, 2001 through November 15, 2001
must provide either:
NOTE:
This does not apply to 1995 and 1996 F-150 customers.
^ The Firestone Wilderness AT tires that were replaced. Returned tire(s) are to be disabled by the
dealership. Ford will reimburse the dealer to disable (see claim instructions below and use labor
operation 01B77G). If tires are brought in for refund with the DOT codes missing dealers should not
process the refund.
^ A section of the old tire(s) containing the DOT codes from each of the Firestone Wilderness AT
tires that were replaced (To be cut from the Wilderness AT tires that were replaced by the outside
repair facility) (use labor operation 01B77L). Dealers should deface (cut in pieces or make code
unreadable) the DOT sections of the tire so they cannot be used to obtain another refund. If
sections are brought in for refund with the DOT code defaced dealers should not process the
refund.
NOTE:
The DOT Code Identification Guide has been developed to help dealers determine if the DOT
sections returned to the dealership are from 15-, 16-,

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

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

recommended pressure. The vehicle manufacturers recommended tire pressure for the original
equipment tires can be found on the drivers side door placard.
2. Road test the vehicle on a smooth road for a minimum of 10 miles. Performance of the road test
at highway speeds is preferred.
NOTE
THIS MUST BE PERFORMED TO "EXERCISE" THE TIRES AND ELIMINATE "COLD" FLAT
SPOTTING THAT OCCURS DUE TO SHORT-PERIOD VEHICLE STORAGE OR PARKING. IF
THE VEHICLE'S TIRES ARE NOT EXERCISED FIRST, ACCURACY OF THE ROAD FORCE
MEASUREMENTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED/STORED
IN ONE LOCATION FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (E.G. 20 MINUTES).
3. Perform the road force measurement IMMEDIATELY after exercising the tires. If the road force
measurement cannot be performed immediately, lift all four tires off the ground with a hoist or jack
stands to prevent measurement errors due to further flat spotting.
4. Assembly centering verification MUST be performed and PASSED prior to any road force
measurement.
For those with a software version other than 2.1 the centering verification must be performed
manually.
a. Spin assembly to measure. Record the assembly R1H.

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

RELATED DAMAGE
Vehicle damage caused by a tire related failure is not covered by this program. Refer to the
Warranty and Policy Manual for proper claiming procedure for vehicles covered by the Ford
Bumper-to-Bumper Tire Warranty (model years 2001 and 2002). All other pre-2001 model year
vehicles with alleged tire related vehicle damage should be handled through the Firestone claims
process, or by referring the customers to their insurance company.
Damage related to replacement of tires should be handled as described in the Warranty and Policy
Manual.
OWNER REFUND
With the increased availability of replacement tires, it will no longer be necessary for customers to
pay out-of-pocket expenses for tires. Therefore, refund requests for tires purchased after
November 15, 2001 will no longer be granted. Owners will be notified of the refund expiration date
and will be directed to a Ford or Mercury dealer They are directed to an authorized retailer only if
the Ford or Mercury dealer cannot meet their scheduling needs or tires are not in stock. All Ford
and Mercury dealers (AtW and non-AtW dealers) are required to process refunds for customers
who purchase tires prior to November 15, 2001.
The following rules apply to refunds for tires purchased from August 1, 2001 through November 15,
2001:
Refunds will be processed for vehicles listed under "AFFECTED TIRES AND VEHICLES", and for
other Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicles that have 15-. 16-, or 17-inch Wilderness AT tires
installed.
^ The customer must provide the original paid receipt (a copy of their paid receipt is acceptable on
an exception basis in instances where the owner requires the original for another purpose (e.g.
extended tire warranty or purchase rebate). The dealer will attach the receipt to the dealer file copy
of the refund claim (see claim instructions below).
^ Dealers will be reimbursed to immediately disable tires returned for a refund (see claiming
instructions for refunds and Attachment II for labor operations).
^ The tires must be purchased August 1, 2000 through November 15, 2001 to be eligible for a
refund (through October 31, 2001 for 1995 and 1996 F-150 owners).
^ Customers requesting refunds for tire replacement May 22, 2001 through November 15, 2001
must provide either:
NOTE:
This does not apply to 1995 and 1996 F-150 customers.
^ The Firestone Wilderness AT tires that were replaced. Returned tire(s) are to be disabled by the
dealership. Ford will reimburse the dealer to disable (see claim instructions below and use labor
operation 01B77G). If tires are brought in for refund with the DOT codes missing dealers should not
process the refund.
^ A section of the old tire(s) containing the DOT codes from each of the Firestone Wilderness AT
tires that were replaced (To be cut from the Wilderness AT tires that were replaced by the outside
repair facility) (use labor operation 01B77L). Dealers should deface (cut in pieces or make code
unreadable) the DOT sections of the tire so they cannot be used to obtain another refund. If
sections are brought in for refund with the DOT code defaced dealers should not process the
refund.
NOTE:
The DOT Code Identification Guide has been developed to help dealers determine if the DOT
sections returned to the dealership are from 15-, 16-,

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

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

NOTE
UPGRADING SOFTWARE TO VERSION 2.1 OR GREATER WILL ENHANCE THE
TECHNICIANS CAPABILITY TO MINIMIZE THE ROAD FORCE VARIATION OF THE
TIRE/WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THE VERSION OF SOFTWARE CAN BE IDENTIFIED FROM THE
START-UP SCREEN BY PRESSING THE CENTER SHIFT KEY ONCE (I.E. HAS TWO GREEN
ARROWS) AND SELECTING THE K1 KEY ("IDENTIFY SOFTWARE"). IF THE SYSTEM IS IN

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

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

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Cam Timing System
Variable Cam Timing System
Overview
The Variable Cam Timing System allows the exhaust cam to advance and retard at varying engine
speeds. The purpose of this is to reduce exhaust emissions and increase fuel economy. As the
exhaust cam retards in relation to the crankshaft position, residual exhaust gases are left in the
combustion chamber. The residual gases cool the combustion chamber and are inert when mixed
with the incoming fresh charge of fuel and air. This results in better fuel economy and lower
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Hydrocarbons (HG) the engine produces. The Exhaust Gas
Recalculation System (EGR) is unnecessary on the 2.0L (4V) engine due to this feature.
Variable Cam Timing
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system consists of the control solenoid, five-tooth pulse ring (4+1)
on exhaust camshaft, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, Crankshaft Position (CKP)
sensor, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (Figure 129).
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives input signals from the Intake Air Temperature
(IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor for determining the operating conditions of the engine.
2. The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system is enabled by the PCM when the proper conditions are
met. The PCM disables the VCT system if
a fault is detected.
3. The PCM calculates relative cam position using the CMP sensor and data from the (4+1) pulse
ring mounted on the exhaust camshaft.
Relative cam position is calculated by measuring the time between the rising edge of Profile
Ignition Pickup (PIP) and the falling edge of Variable Cam Timing (VCT) pulse.
4. The PCM continually calculates a cam position error value based on the difference between the
desired and actual position and a duty
cycle is commanded for the VCT solenoid valve. Engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT unit.
5. Oil flows to either side of the piston chamber changing a linear motion from the piston to a
rotation motion from the helical mechanism in
the VCT unit. During closed loop the PCM outputs a revised duty cycle to the VCT solenoid valve
to correct for cam position error.

Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Solenoid Valve
The VCT solenoid valve (Figure 130) is an integral part of the VCT system. The solenoid valve

solenoid valve, oil is allowed to flow to the VCT unit assembly and advance or retard the cam
timing.
Variable Cam Timing Unit Assembly
Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Unit Assembly
The variable cam timing unit assembly (Figure 131) is coupled to the camshaft through a helical
spline in the VCT unit chamber. When the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the
other, the differential change in oil pressure forces the piston to move linearly along the axis of the
camshaft. This linear motion is translated into rotational camshaft motion through the helical spline
coupling. A spring installed

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

Variable Cam Timing System
Overview
The Variable Cam Timing System allows the exhaust cam to advance and retard at varying engine
speeds. The purpose of this is to reduce exhaust emissions and increase fuel economy. As the
exhaust cam retards in relation to the crankshaft position, residual exhaust gases are left in the
combustion chamber. The residual gases cool the combustion chamber and are inert when mixed
with the incoming fresh charge of fuel and air. This results in better fuel economy and lower
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Hydrocarbons (HG) the engine produces. The Exhaust Gas
Recalculation System (EGR) is unnecessary on the 2.0L (4V) engine due to this feature.
Variable Cam Timing
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system consists of the control solenoid, five-tooth pulse ring (4+1)
on exhaust camshaft, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, Crankshaft Position (CKP)
sensor, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (Figure 129).
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives input signals from the Intake Air Temperature
(IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor for determining the operating conditions of the engine.
2. The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system is enabled by the PCM when the proper conditions are
met. The PCM disables the VCT system if
a fault is detected.
3. The PCM calculates relative cam position using the CMP sensor and data from the (4+1) pulse
ring mounted on the exhaust camshaft.
Relative cam position is calculated by measuring the time between the rising edge of Profile
Ignition Pickup (PIP) and the falling edge of Variable Cam Timing (VCT) pulse.
4. The PCM continually calculates a cam position error value based on the difference between the
desired and actual position and a duty
cycle is commanded for the VCT solenoid valve. Engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT unit.
5. Oil flows to either side of the piston chamber changing a linear motion from the piston to a
rotation motion from the helical mechanism in
the VCT unit. During closed loop the PCM outputs a revised duty cycle to the VCT solenoid valve
to correct for cam position error.

Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Solenoid Valve
Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Solenoid Valve
The VCT solenoid valve (Figure 130) is an integral part of the VCT system. The solenoid valve
controls the flow of engine oil to the variable cam timing unit assembly. As the PCM duty cycles the
solenoid valve, oil is allowed to flow to the VCT unit assembly and advance or retard the cam
timing.
Variable Cam Timing Unit Assembly
Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Unit Assembly
The variable cam timing unit assembly (Figure 131) is coupled to the camshaft through a helical
spline in the VCT unit chamber. When the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the
other, the differential change in oil pressure forces the piston to move linearly along the axis of the
camshaft. This linear motion is translated into rotational camshaft motion through the helical spline
coupling. A spring installed

in the chamber is designed to hold the camshaft in the minimum overlap position (5 degrees) when
oil pressure is too low to maintain adequate position control. The camshaft is allowed to rotate up
to 30 degrees.

ISSUE Some vehicles equipped with the 4.0L SOHC engine may exhibit a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
"ON" with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0300 (Random Misfire) or P0301. The DTC will set
when the engine is operated at high RPM'S (4800 RPM and higher). The Misfire code results due
to system interaction of higher than expected transient exhaust system backpressure (under heavy
acceleration) coupled with valve spring resonance points experienced at these engine speeds. This
interaction may cause the' exhaust valve to hang open at engine speeds of 4800 RPM and higher.
ACTION Verify that the DTC sets only at 4800 RPM or higher. Remove current intake and exhaust
valve springs and replace with new service intake and exhaust valve springs. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.

ISSUE On various vehicles when servicing the head gasket on certain Ford remanufactured
engines, it is critical to determine the type of remanufactured engine that is being serviced, in order
to identify the correct replacement gasket.
ACTION Follow the Service Procedure to help identify if the vehicle is equipped with a SID (for
originally equipment level thickness head gasket) or OVR (for oversized service level thicker head
gasket) remanufactured engine when replacing a head gasket.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Use this TSB to help identify if the vehicle is equipped with a STD or OVR remanufactured engine
when replacing a head gasket. This will ensure that you obtain the proper head gasket (thicker for
OVR-oversized) for the engine you are repairing, as the engine may have milled engine block deck,
milled cylinder head deck, or an over sized bore in the cylinders. This information will be needed
when ordering parts. The parts catalogs already reflect the correct service numbers, as long as this
additional information is available.

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

Aluminum Cylinder Head - Removal From Engine
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Seals and Gaskets, Engine > Cylinder Head Gasket >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Reman Engine Head Gasket Identification > Page 3087
WARNING
ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEADS ARE HIGHLY POLISHED AND MUST BE HANDLED WITH
EXTREME CARE. AFTER REMOVING THE HEAD BOLTS, WITHDRAW THE HEAD FROM THE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT. USE EXTREME CARE NOTING THAT THE GASKET SURFACE OF
THE HEAD COULD BE DAMAGED ON THE WAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ALLOWED TO HIT
AGAINST OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS. ONCE REMOVED, PLACE THE HEAD ON A
BENCH, GASKET SIDE UP, USING A PIECE OF CLEAN CARDBOARD ON THE BENCH
SURFACE UNDERNEATH. DO NOT SLIDE THE HEAD GASKET SURFACE ALONG THE
BENCHTOP OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
NOTE
SOME ENGINES REQUIRE A "DE-TORQUING" PROCEDURE OF THE CYLINDER HEAD
BOLTS. CONSULT WITH THE APPROPRIATE MODEL YEAR WORKSHOP MANUAL FIRST, AS
THIS PROCEDURE IS USUALLY DONE ON FOUR-VALVE ENGINES. HOWEVER, ALL
ALUMINUM HEADS ARE PRONE TO WARPAGE DURING REMOVAL IF TAKEN OFF WHEN
HOT OR WARM. THE ENGINE SHOULD BE COOLED SUFFICIENTLY BY THE TIME THE
HEADS ARE ACCESSIBLE DURING TEARDOWN. ALLOW AN ADEQUATE COOL DOWN
PERIOD.
NOTE
IN SOME ENGINE APPLICATIONS, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO "RUBBER BAND" A FEW OF
THE HEAD BOLTS TOGETHER DUE TO TIGHT CLEARANCES OF THE HEAD NEAR
HEATER/AC PLENUMS AND THE BODY COWL. THIS WILL ALLOW THE BOLTS TO CLEAR
THE BLOCK DECK AS THE HEAD IS WITHDRAWN FROM THE VEHICLE.
Place CLEAN shop towels over the cylinder block bores to prevent further contamination from
reaching internal parts and surfaces. If a towel is to be removed, do it SLOWLY . Debris collected
on the towel can fall on the engine if care is not exercised as it is removed.
Gasket surfaces are machined to near-mirror surface quality. Scratches, dents, gouges, and other
impressions may allow oil, coolant, and compression gases to leak into other sealed cavities and/or
the atmosphere. Surface imperfections deteriorate the head gasket's ability to seal effectively.
Contamination on these surfaces will cause leaks from "shimming" the head even under full head
bolt torque. Contamination will also cause marks on the polished gasket surface, creating a leak
path.
Inspection For Damage and Cleaning Procedure
The overall straightness of the cylinder head and block face is held within very tight specification.
Defects known as "waviness" or "depressions" cannot be surface machined out with ordinary
equipment. Machining must meet manufacturer's specification on surface finish quality and be less
than 0.001" inch (0.025 mm) level as measured under a known quality straightedge using a feeler
gauge. If the engine has been overheated the cylinder head may have been damaged or warped.
Re-surfacing will not correct this damage.
The head must not contain any impressions on its sealing surface deeper than 0.001" (0.025 mm).
There must not be any scratches or gouges present, especially those which track to another
sealing cavity or to the atmosphere.
Ensure that the mating cylinder block surface is completely free of solid contamination, corrosion,
and fluids. Use Motorcraft Metal Surface Cleaner, F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent, to rid the
surface of any material, which could later interfere with the gasket's sealing ability.
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ANY ALUMINUM GASKET SURFACES TO BE CLEANED
USING RAZOR BLADES, ROTARY ABRASIVE DEVICES INCLUDING ROLOC AND 3M
BRANDED SCOTCHBRITE PRODUCTS, ROTARY WIRE BRUSHES, SINGLE HANDLED WIRE
BRUSHES, HAND ABRASIVE SUCH AS SANDPAPER OR EMERY CLOTH, OR ANY CARBON
STEEL BLADE. THESE TOOLS ARE PROVEN TO CUT AND DAMAGE ALUMINUM AND WILL
DISRUPT THE POLISHED FINISH. ABRASIVE PARTICLES ARE ALSO SUSCEPTIBLE TO
ENTERING THE ENGINE CAVITIES AND MAY CAUSE INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THE
ONLY TOOLS ACCEPTABLE ARE PLASTIC AND WOOD SCRAPERS COMBINED WITH USE
OF MOTORCRAFT METAL SURFACE CLEANER, F4AZ-19A536-RA, OR EQUIVALENT
SOLVENT.
The original head bolts are to be discarded. Only new head bolts are acceptable for use in a head
gasket repair. Use of old bolts can cause clamp load failure because they were stretched from the
last torquing procedure either from the plant or a previous field repair. The new head bolt shanks
and threads should be thoroughly cleaned, dried, and lightly lubricated. Oil the bolts and let oil drip
for a minimum of 5 minutes. Use of too much oil may cause hydraulic lockup in the bolt hole.
The corresponding bolt holes in the cylinder block must be free of contamination consisting of dirt
particles, coolant, and oil. Bolts can mechanically or hydraulically lock on top of these materials and
cause for poor clamping of the cylinder head gasket. Use very lightly compressed air to blow out
the bolt holes. Use care to prevent debris from scattering over the internal engine surfaces.
To clean the cylinder block gasket surface, a plastic or wood scraper in combination with Motorcraft
Metal Surface Cleaner, F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent can be used with a portable shop
vacuum. Move the scraper toward the vacuum nozzle to direct loosened material quickly away from
the block surface.
It is not necessary to expect aluminum head surfaces to be shiny and bright after the vehicle has
been in service. Sanding, scraping, or polishing will create surface depressions that cause leaks.
The surface is expected to be flat within 0.001" (0.025 mm) and free of dirt, metal chips, and liquid
contaminants. Any staining of the metal surface is considered normal.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Seals and Gaskets, Engine > Cylinder Head Gasket >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine - Reman Engine Head Gasket Identification > Page 3088
Machining of aluminum heads and blocks is an unacceptable field practice for quality control
purposes of flatness and surface finish standards. Removing material will also raise the risk of
internal reciprocating components striking each other, as well as changing the emissions
calibration of the engine. Machining practices of aluminum blocks and heads are not reimbursable.
Ford Remanufacturers are authorized to perform this procedure and have the necessary
equipment to put the specified surface finish on the head within original factory limits.
Installation Onto the Cylinder Block Surface
WARNING
ANY GASKET SEALING AIDS WHICH ARE NOT LIMITED TO, AND INCLUDE AVIATION
CEMENT, COPPER SPRAYS, OR GLUES ARE NOT TO BE USED. THE GASKET MUST BE
FITTED DRY WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL SEALING AIDS. ATTEMPTS TO SEAL WITH THESE
COMPOUNDS WILL CAUSE HEAD SHIMMING AND/OR NEW LEAK PATHS. THESE
COMPOUNDS HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE EMISSIONS SENSORS TO FAIL
THEREBY TRIPPING FAULT CODES IN THE PCM.
Ensure that all surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder head, and gasket are fully free of any solid or
liquid contamination and have been prepared for assembly using Motorcraft Metal Surface Cleaner,
F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent. Also ensure that any residual dirt on the engine was
removed successfully from the surrounding areas of the block to head face of the head and the
block.
Using Workshop Manual procedures, assemble the head to the block carefully. Do not allow the
gasket surfaces to scrape or bang against other engine parts. The head may pick up material along
the way, if this is allowed. Once in place, with dowels properly aligned to the head and ensuring
that the head is fully square, seated, and resting on the block deck in a level condition, install new
"torque-to-yield" cylinder head bolts to a finger tight condition. Refer to the appropriate model year
Workshop Manual for the procedure to torque the head bolts in the correct sequence and at the
intervals specified. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a warped head, and damaged
head bolt threads.
Do not use "cheater pipes" on torque wrenches. Use a known quality, calibrated torque wrench.
Pull evenly and steady on each bolt. Do not exert side pressures on the bolt hex, which can disrupt
the integrity of the bolt head and give a false reading on the final torque value of the fastener.
Once the engine is fully reassembled, be sure that fluid levels have been topped off as required for
the operation. When the engine is ready for starting, ensure that the engine 6i1 pump is (was)
primed properly and is in a "ready to start" condition with all engine oil galleys having been charged
with oil.
WARNING
DO NOT RACE THE ENGINE UPON INITIAL STARTUP. MAINTAIN ENGINE IDLE TO BUILD OIL
PRESSURE. USE OF A MECHANICAL PRESSURE GAUGE WILL ENSURE THAT OIL FLOW
HAS DEVELOPED ON THE PUMP'S PRESSURE SIDE. A DEFECTIVE GAUGE OR LIGHT IN
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NOT VERIFY PRESSURE HAS BEEN OBTAINED. SEVERE
INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT IF PRESSURE IS NOT OBSERVED AND
STEADILY MAINTAINED.
Allow a warm up period, which brings the engine to normal operating temperature. Check for leaks
around the gasket joints of the head, front cover, and associated component parts. The vehicle
should be road tested within normal guidelines to raise the engine to operating temperature and
verify the repair is sound.
Shut down the engine, allow for a cool-down and drain-back period to enable fluids to return to
levels. Check fluid levels using owner guide recommendations (dipstick, sight gages, etc.).

OVERVIEW While performing this procedure the technician will install a:
^ New upper and lower intake manifold gaskets.
^ New cam chain tensioner and washer.
^ Volume reduction plug into the left cylinder head oil galley.
^ New oil galley plug.
IMPORTANT TIME SAVING REPAIR TIPS
^ Always use a hand impact driver with a short extension when loosening the oil galley plug. Be
sure the T-30 Torx(R) bit is in good condition, and that there is no foreign material inside the plug
which would prevent the bit from fully seating. The plug may be seized on some higher mileage
vehicles, and not seating the bit may cause the bit to damage the plug.
^ Before removing the engine coolant temperature sensor, relieve any residual cooling system
pressure by removing the radiator cap and then reinstalling it. Doing this will allow you to remove
the sensor without having to drain the cooling system.
^ During assembly, DO NOT use any silicone products as they may cause damage to the oxygen
sensors.
^ Allow the engine and cooling system to cool down prior to beginning this repair.
Question -- Are these procedures the same as related procedures found in TSBs or in the
Workshop Manual?
Answer -- No. If you follow the procedures in this set of instructions, you will not need to disconnect
the battery or install a memory saver, or drain and refill the cooling system. Also, this procedure
involves removal of the upper and lower intake manifolds to replace the gaskets. Once the
manifolds and the ECT are removed, the oil galley plug and the cam tensioner are easily accessed.
LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD REMOVAL
1. Remove the accelerator control splash shield.
2. Disconnect the speed control and accelerator cables from the throttle body control lever and the

OVERVIEW While performing this procedure the technician will install a:
^ New upper and lower intake manifold gaskets.
^ New cam chain tensioner and washer.
^ Volume reduction plug into the left cylinder head oil galley.
^ New oil galley plug.
IMPORTANT TIME SAVING REPAIR TIPS
^ Always use a hand impact driver with a short extension when loosening the oil galley plug. Be
sure the T-30 Torx(R) bit is in good condition, and that there is no foreign material inside the plug
which would prevent the bit from fully seating. The plug may be seized on some higher mileage
vehicles, and not seating the bit may cause the bit to damage the plug.
^ Before removing the engine coolant temperature sensor, relieve any residual cooling system
pressure by removing the radiator cap and then reinstalling it. Doing this will allow you to remove
the sensor without having to drain the cooling system.
^ During assembly, DO NOT use any silicone products as they may cause damage to the oxygen
sensors.
^ Allow the engine and cooling system to cool down prior to beginning this repair.
Question -- Are these procedures the same as related procedures found in TSBs or in the
Workshop Manual?
Answer -- No. If you follow the procedures in this set of instructions, you will not need to disconnect
the battery or install a memory saver, or drain and refill the cooling system. Also, this procedure
involves removal of the upper and lower intake manifolds to replace the gaskets. Once the
manifolds and the ECT are removed, the oil galley plug and the cam tensioner are easily accessed.

OVERVIEW While performing this procedure the technician will install a:
^ New upper and lower intake manifold gaskets.
^ New cam chain tensioner and washer.
^ Volume reduction plug into the left cylinder head oil galley.
^ New oil galley plug.
IMPORTANT TIME SAVING REPAIR TIPS
^ Always use a hand impact driver with a short extension when loosening the oil galley plug. Be
sure the T-30 Torx(R) bit is in good condition, and that there is no foreign material inside the plug
which would prevent the bit from fully seating. The plug may be seized on some higher mileage
vehicles, and not seating the bit may cause the bit to damage the plug.
^ Before removing the engine coolant temperature sensor, relieve any residual cooling system
pressure by removing the radiator cap and then reinstalling it. Doing this will allow you to remove
the sensor without having to drain the cooling system.
^ During assembly, DO NOT use any silicone products as they may cause damage to the oxygen
sensors.
^ Allow the engine and cooling system to cool down prior to beginning this repair.
Question -- Are these procedures the same as related procedures found in TSBs or in the
Workshop Manual?
Answer -- No. If you follow the procedures in this set of instructions, you will not need to disconnect
the battery or install a memory saver, or drain and refill the cooling system. Also, this procedure
involves removal of the upper and lower intake manifolds to replace the gaskets. Once the
manifolds and the ECT are removed, the oil galley plug and the cam tensioner are easily accessed.

Attachment III - Technical Information
OVERVIEW While performing this procedure the technician will install a:
^ New upper and lower intake manifold gaskets.
^ New cam chain tensioner and washer.
^ Volume reduction plug into the left cylinder head oil galley.
^ New oil galley plug.
IMPORTANT TIME SAVING REPAIR TIPS
^ Always use a hand impact driver with a short extension when loosening the oil galley plug. Be
sure the T-30 Torx(R) bit is in good condition, and that there is no foreign material inside the plug
which would prevent the bit from fully seating. The plug may be seized on some higher mileage
vehicles, and not seating the bit may cause the bit to damage the plug.
^ Before removing the engine coolant temperature sensor, relieve any residual cooling system
pressure by removing the radiator cap and then reinstalling it. Doing this will allow you to remove
the sensor without having to drain the cooling system.
^ During assembly, DO NOT use any silicone products as they may cause damage to the oxygen
sensors.
^ Allow the engine and cooling system to cool down prior to beginning this repair.
Question -- Are these procedures the same as related procedures found in TSBs or in the
Workshop Manual?
Answer -- No. If you follow the procedures in this set of instructions, you will not need to disconnect
the battery or install a memory saver, or drain and refill the cooling system. Also, this procedure
involves removal of the upper and lower intake manifolds to replace the gaskets. Once the
manifolds and the ECT are removed, the oil galley plug and the cam tensioner are easily accessed.

Variable Cam Timing System
Overview
The Variable Cam Timing System allows the exhaust cam to advance and retard at varying engine
speeds. The purpose of this is to reduce exhaust emissions and increase fuel economy. As the
exhaust cam retards in relation to the crankshaft position, residual exhaust gases are left in the
combustion chamber. The residual gases cool the combustion chamber and are inert when mixed
with the incoming fresh charge of fuel and air. This results in better fuel economy and lower
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Hydrocarbons (HG) the engine produces. The Exhaust Gas
Recalculation System (EGR) is unnecessary on the 2.0L (4V) engine due to this feature.
Variable Cam Timing
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system consists of the control solenoid, five-tooth pulse ring (4+1)
on exhaust camshaft, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, Crankshaft Position (CKP)
sensor, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (Figure 129).
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives input signals from the Intake Air Temperature
(IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor for determining the operating conditions of the engine.
2. The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system is enabled by the PCM when the proper conditions are
met. The PCM disables the VCT system if
a fault is detected.
3. The PCM calculates relative cam position using the CMP sensor and data from the (4+1) pulse
ring mounted on the exhaust camshaft.
Relative cam position is calculated by measuring the time between the rising edge of Profile
Ignition Pickup (PIP) and the falling edge of Variable Cam Timing (VCT) pulse.
4. The PCM continually calculates a cam position error value based on the difference between the
desired and actual position and a duty
cycle is commanded for the VCT solenoid valve. Engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT unit.
5. Oil flows to either side of the piston chamber changing a linear motion from the piston to a
rotation motion from the helical mechanism in
the VCT unit. During closed loop the PCM outputs a revised duty cycle to the VCT solenoid valve
to correct for cam position error.

Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Solenoid Valve
Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Solenoid Valve
The VCT solenoid valve (Figure 130) is an integral part of the VCT system. The solenoid valve
controls the flow of engine oil to the variable cam timing unit assembly. As the PCM duty cycles the
solenoid valve, oil is allowed to flow to the VCT unit assembly and advance or retard the cam
timing.
Variable Cam Timing Unit Assembly
Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Unit Assembly
The variable cam timing unit assembly (Figure 131) is coupled to the camshaft through a helical
spline in the VCT unit chamber. When the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the
other, the differential change in oil pressure forces the piston to move linearly along the axis of the
camshaft. This linear motion is translated into rotational camshaft motion through the helical spline
coupling. A spring installed

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

HYDRAULIC COOLING FAN DRIVE
Hydraulic Cooling Fan Pump With Integral Solenoid
The system consists of an engine-driven pump with an integral solenoid (Figure 50) on the pump
that is triggered by the powertrain control module (PCM). Fan speed is controlled by adjusting
current to the solenoid, which then changes the fluid flow to the hydraulic motor. More current
means the solenoid opens up, allowing higher pressure to increase the fan speed. The fan always
turns due to solenoid current leakage, even in cold engine cases. The motor is driven by the pump.
It contains a shaft on which the fan mounts. The motor also contains quick connect fittings for the
high pressure lines. The cooler is similar to the power steering cooler (same purpose and function,
to keep the fluid cool).

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

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor (Figure 26) is a thermistor device in which
resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as
temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects
the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is installed in the aluminum 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 would then initiate a fail-safe cooling strategy based on
information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system failure 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. For additional information, refer to
Powertrain Control Software for Fail-Safe Cooling Strategy details.

resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as the
temperature increases, and increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance
affects the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

1. Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater water hose to heater core attachments. A
coolant leak in the heater water hose could follow
the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in the heater core.
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and did not require installation of a new heater core. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater
core must be tested by following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core
pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:
2. Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps.
NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specification clamps can cause leakage at the heater water hose connection and damage the
heater core.
Heater Core-Plugged
WARNING: THE HEATER CORE INLET HOSE WILL BECOME TOO HOT TO HANDLE IF THE
SYSTEM IS WORKING CORRECTLY.
1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level. 2. Start the engine and turn on the
heater. 3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core outlet hose
to see if it is hot.
If it is not hot: the heater control valve is not working correctly.
- the heater core may have an air pocket.
- the heater core may be plugged.
- the thermostat is not working correctly.
Heater Core-Pressure Test Use Pressure Tester to carry out the pressure test. 1. Drain the coolant
from the cooling system.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 inches) long on each heater core tube.
4. Fill the heater core and heater water hoses with water and install Plug BT-7422-B and adapter
BT-7422-A from the radiator/heater core
pressure tester in the heater water hose ends. Secure the heater water hoses, plug and adapter
with hose clamps.
5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Tester to the adapter. 6. Close the
bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 241 kPa (35 psi) of air pressure into the heater core. 7.
Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of three minutes. 8. If the pressure drops, check the
heater water hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater water hoses do not leak,
remove the
heater core from the vehicle and carry out the bench test.
Heater Core-Bench Test 1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant
from the heater core. 3. Connect the 101 mm (4 inch) test heater water hoses with plug and
adapter to the core tubes. Then connect the radiator/heater core pressure

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

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.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor (Figure 26) is a thermistor device in which
resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as
temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects
the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is installed in the aluminum 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 would then initiate a fail-safe cooling strategy based on
information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system failure 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. For additional information, refer to
Powertrain Control Software for Fail-Safe Cooling Strategy details.

Thermostat: Description and Operation
THERMOSTAT HEATER CONTROL
Thermostat Assembly With Heater Control
The primary objective for the thermostat heater control is for improvement in fuel economy and
thermal efficiency. The system consists of a high temperature (98°C/208°F in lieu of a 90°C/194°F)
thermostat (Figure 51)that has a resistive heater within the wax element. The heater is controlled
by the PCM dependent on engine speed, throttle position, engine load, vehicle speed, air charge
temperature, transmission oil temperature and engine coolant temperature.
During low speed, low load and low air charge temperature conditions, the thermostat heater is
OFF and the engine is allowed to operate at an elevated coolant temperature. This should result in
lower internal friction and higher thermal efficiency, both leading to improved fuel economy.
During high speed, high load, high temperature conditions (air charge, transmission oil or engine
coolant), the PCM output is energized with a duty cycle to the thermostat heater. This heats the
wax and forces the thermostat to rapidly open wider allowing extra coolant to flow from the radiator.
This will reduce the coolant temperature and improve with performance demand.
It should be noted that the heater is only capable of supplying a SMALL amount of additional heat
to the wax element; it is NOT capable of opening the thermostat alone. The thermostat is 100%
duty cycle for short calibrated time and than the duty cycle is reduce to a maximum of 70% on and
30% off.
Approximately, unheated, the thermostat will begin to open at a coolant temperature of 98°C
(208°F) and will be fully open at 115°C (239°F). Energizing the heater will reduce the opening
temperature to about 80°C (176°F) and the fully open temperature to 110°C (230°F).

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

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

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

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

> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3450
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE

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

> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3451
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3452
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3453
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Federal Test
Procedure
Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Federal Test Procedure
The Catalyst Efficiency Monitor uses an oxygen sensor before and after the catalyst to infer the
hydrocarbon efficiency based on oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. Under normal, close-loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have significant oxygen storage. This makes the switching
frequency of the rear Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) very slow and reduces the amplitude of those
switches as compared to the switching frequency and amplitude of the front HO2S. As the catalyst
efficiency deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines. The post-catalyst or downstream HO2S
signal begins to switch more rapidly with increasing amplitude, approaching the switching
frequency and amplitude of the pre-catalyst or upstream HO2S.
All applications utilize an FTP-based (Federal Test Procedure) catalyst monitor. This simply means
that the catalyst monitor must run during a standard FTP emission test as opposed to the
20-second steady state catalyst monitor used in 1994 through some 1996 vehicles. Two slightly
different versions of the catalyst monitor are used in the 2001 model year.
Switch Ratio Method (1996 - 2001)
1. In order to assess catalyst oxygen storage, the monitor counts front and rear HO2S switches
during part-throttle, close-loop fuel condition after
the engine is warmed-up and inferred catalyst temperature is within limits. Front switches are
accumulated in up to nine different air mass regions or cells although three air mass regions is
typical. Rear switches are counted in a single cell for all air mass regions. When the required
number of front switches has accumulated in each cell, the total number of rear switches is divided
by the total number of front switches to compute a switch ratio. A switch ratio near 0.0 indicates
high oxygen storage capacity, hence high HC efficiency. A switch ratio near 1.0 indicates low
oxygen storage capacity, hence low HC efficiency. If the actual switch ratio exceeds a calibrated
threshold switch ratio, the catalyst is considered failed.
Inputs from Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) (warm
engine), IAT (not extreme ambient temperatures), Mass Air Flow (MAF) (greater than minimum
engine load), Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (within vehicle speed widow) and Throttle Position (TP)
(at part-throttle) are required to enable the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor.
2. The DTCs associated with this test are Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0420 (Bank 1) and
P0430 (Bank 2). Because an Exponentially
Weight Moving Average algorithm is use for malfunction determination, up to six driving cycles may
be required to illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) during normal customer driving. If
Keep Alive Memory (KAM) is reset, a malfunction will illuminate the MIL in 2 drive cycles.
Index Ratio Method (some 2001 and beyond)
1. In order to assess catalyst oxygen storage, the catalyst monitor counts front HO2S switches
during part-throttle, closed-loop fuel conditions
after the engine is warmed-up and inferred catalyst temperature is within limits. Front switches are
accumulated in up to three different air mass regions or cells. While catalyst monitoring entry
conditions are being met, the front and rear HO2S signal lengths are continually being calculated.
When the required number of front switches has accumulated in each cell, the total signal length of
the rear HO2S is divided by the total signal length of the front HO2S to compute a catalyst index
ratio. An index ratio near 0.0 indicates high oxygen storage capacity, hence high efficiency. A
switch ratio near 1.0 indicates low oxygen storage capacity, hence low HC efficiency. If the actual
index ratio exceeds the threshold index ratio, the catalyst is considered failed.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Catalyst and Exhaust Systems
Catalyst and Exhaust System
Overview
The Catalytic Converter and Exhaust Systems (Figure 135) work together to control the release of
harmful engine exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of
Nitrogen (N), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water Vapor (H2O). However, it also contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO), Oxides Of Nitrogen (NOx), Hydrogen (H), and various unburned Hydrocarbons
(HCs). CO, NO(x), and HCs are major air pollutants, and their emission into the atmosphere must
be controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, upstream
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, downstream HO2S, a muffler and an exhaust
tailpipe. The catalytic converter is installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
Generic Catalyst and Exhaust System
Catalytic Converter
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst will also enable a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature.
The concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated
honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust gases
come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The catalyst
initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components so they
are used up as much as possible.
Exhaust System
The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. An HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of Carbon Monoxide (CO),
unburned Hydrocarbons (HCs) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NO) in the exhaust emissions to an
acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed from the catalytic converter to a
muffler through the rear exhaust pipe. Another HO2S is mounted on the rear exhaust pipe. Lastly,
the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust tailpipe.
HARDWARE
The downstream HO2S may be located after the light off catalyst or underbody catalyst. The
underbody catalyst may be in-line with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be
common to two light off catalysts, forming a "Y" pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the
catalyst and exhaust system, refer to Exhaust System.
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The Three Way Catalytic (TWC) converter contains either platinum (Pt) and Rhodium (Rh) or
Palladium (Pd) and Rhodium (Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of
unburned HCs and CO and the reduction reaction of NO. The three-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.

> Description and Operation > Acronyms and Definitions > Page 3471
Exhaust Pipes
Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.
Upstream Heated and Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensors
The HO2S provide the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information
related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
In addition to providing the PCM with indications of how rich/lean the engine is operating, the
upstream HO2S signal serves as an input to the HO2S monitor. The downstream HO2S signal is
an input to the Catalyst Efficiency monitor.
Muffler
Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and it also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

NOISE - "BUZZ" COMING FROM CENTER OR RIGHT SIDE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL - HEARD
AT IDLE OR LOW SPEED DRIVING
FORD: 2001 EXPLORER
ISSUE Some Sport and Sport Trac vehicles built between 7/1/2000 and 2/28/2001 may exhibit a
"buzz" coming from the center or right side of the instrument panel at idle and/or low speed driving
with rpm range between base idle and 1800 rpm. This may be caused by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) resonating against the heat shield that is located inside the PCM.
ACTION Verify buzz. Insulate the PCM from the heat shield with hard foam tape. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the PCM from the vehicle. Refer to the 2001 Explorer Workshop Manual, Section
303-14 for removal procedure.
2. Cut a piece of Urethane Tape (hard foam), Rotunda part number 164-R4902, to the following
dimensions: 20 mm width, 3 mm thickness, and 45 mm length. The urethane tape is located in the
Rotunda Squeak and Rattle Kit, part number 164-R4900.
3. Lay the PCM flat on a table. After removing the adhesive backing, place the foam tape on the
top surface of the module at the rear center of the module. This will dampen the buzz noise from
the PCM outer case. (Figure 1).
4. Reinstall the PCM. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 303-14 for installation procedure.
5. Test drive vehicle to verify that the noise is corrected.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE - VEHICLE SPEED OUTPUT (VSO)
The PCM-VSO (Powertrain Control Module - Vehicle Speed Output) speed signal subsystem
generates vehicle speed information for distribution to the vehicle's electrical/electronic modules
and subsystems that require vehicle speed data. This subsystem senses the transmission output
shaft speed with a sensor. The data is processed by the PCM, and distributed as a hard-wired
signal or as a multiplexed data message.
The key features of the PCM-VSO system are to:
^ Infer vehicle movement from the output shaft sensor signal
^ Convert transmission output shaft rotational information to vehicle speed information
^ Compensate for tire size and axle ratio with a programmed calibration variable
^ Utilize a transfer case sensor for four wheel drive applications
^ Distribute vehicle speed information as a multiplexed message and/or an analog signal
The signal from a non-contact shaft sensor (Output Shaft Sensor--OSS or Transfer Case Shaft
Sensor--TCSS) mounted on the transmission (automatics, manuals, or 4X4 transfer cases) is
sensed directly by the PCM. The PCM converts the OSS or TCSS information to 8000 pulses per
mile, based on a tire and axle ratio conversion factor. This conversion factor is programmed into
the PCM at the time the vehicle is assembled and can be reprogrammed in the field for servicing
changes in the tire size and axle ratio. The PCM transmits the computed vehicle speed and
distance traveled information to all the vehicle speed signal users on the vehicle. VSO information
can be transmitted by a hard-wired interface between the vehicle speed signal user and the PCM,
or by Speed and Odometer SCP multiplexed data messages.
The VSO hard-wired signal wave form is a DC square wave with a voltage level of 0 to VBAT.
Typical output operating range is 2.22Hz per MPH (1.3808 Hz pr 1 Km/h). Multiplexed data for

Powertrain Control Module: Service and Repair Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read
Only Memory
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory - Flash EEPROM
Description
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory (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
reprogrammed or reflashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM as under Programming the VID Block for
a Replacement PCM. Failure to perform this procedure may generate fault code: P1639, VID Block
not programmed or is corrupt. The VID block in an existing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). can
also be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production.
Failure to perform this procedure properly may generate fault code: P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of
Acceptable Range. 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 VIN number, octane adjust, fuel octane,
fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the presence of speed control and four wheel
drive electronic shift on the fly versus manual shift on the fly. Only items applicable to vehicle
hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to flash the PCM
again to reset the VID block.
Each of the procedures described below use the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
Reprogramming can be performed by a local Ford dealer for any non Ford facility. There are other
Enhanced Scan Tools that may have reprogramming capabilities available. Refer to the diagnostic
tool manufacturers users manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and will need programming. There are two procedures available. The
first is an automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM and the second is manual data
entry into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been replaced.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and is incapable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. 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 L-M
technician's, contact your National Hotline for "AS Built" data. Non Ford technicians, use the Fed
World website at "fedworld.gov". Select Auto Service Information and search for "Calibrations" or
"Vehicle Calibrations" then specify vehicle manufacturer, model name and model year as required.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate vehicle hardware. Refer to PCM/Module Reprogramming on the Scan Tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM will need 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 PCM/Module Reprogramming on the Scan Tool.

THERMAL MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) Sensor
The Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (TMAP) (Figure 41) consists of a Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and an integrated thermistor. The thermistor part of the sensor is
currently not being used. The MAP part of the sensor measures intake manifold air absolute
pressure. The PCM uses information from the MAP sensor, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, Mass Air
Flow (MAF) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CKP)
sensor and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to determine how much exhaust gas is introduced
into the intake manifold.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

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

Clutch Switch: Description and Operation
CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch (Figure 24) is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch
pedal position and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement
position and the gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference Vehicle Reference
Voltage (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP
signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP and PNP switches are closed) is closed,
indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL position, the output
voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal return line to the PCM, and there is 1
volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load on the engine. If the CPP switch (or
PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on the vehicle) is open, meaning the
clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not in NEUTRAL position (PNP
switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be approximately 5 volts. Then, the
5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine. The PCM uses the load
information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor (Figure 26) is a thermistor device in which
resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as
temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects
the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is installed in the aluminum 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 would then initiate a fail-safe cooling strategy based on
information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system failure 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. For additional information, refer to
Powertrain Control Software for Fail-Safe Cooling Strategy details.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot and Cold Wire Terminals
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors (Figure 34) and integrated Mass Air Flow (MAF) type
(Figure 37), are thermistor devices in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and increases as the
temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of fuel spark and MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) AT sensors. Both sensors operate as above.
However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/cold
weather input, while a second sensor Second Intake Air Temperature (IAT2) is located after the
supercharger in the intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air
temperature information to the PCM to control border-line spark and to help determine intercooler
efficiency.

Two Types Of Knock Sensor (KS)
The Knock Sensor (KS) (Figure 35) is a tuned accelerometer on the engine which converts engine
vibration to an electrical signal. The PCM uses this signal to determine the presence of engine
knock and to retard spark timing.

C. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
C1.) Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor - Information
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))

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

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

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

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

Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3636
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3637
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3638
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3639
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Description and Operation > Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
Heated Oxygen Sensor Monitor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S
sensors for a malfunction or deterioration which can affect emissions. The fuel control or upstream
HO2S is checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time it takes to switch from lean
to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper
output voltage. The following illustration shows that input is required from the Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT), Intake Air Temperature (IAT), Mass Air
Flow (MAF) and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensors to activate the HO2S Monitor. The Fuel
System Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the
HO2S Monitor is enabled.
1. The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel
ratio of approximately 14.7:1), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich
of stoichiometric, the HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt. The HO2S Monitor
evaluates both the upstream (fuel control) and downstream (Catalyst Monitor) HO2S for proper
function.
2. Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream HO2S signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is
determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to a maximum calibratable threshold voltage. A
fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate. A HO2S
heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a corresponding
change in the Output State Monitor (OSM) and by measuring the current going through the heater
circuit. The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) associated with HO2S lack of switching are DTCs P1130,
P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151 and P1152.
The DTCs associated with HO2S slow response rate are DTCs P0133 and P0153.
The DTCs associated with HO2S signal circuit malfunction are DTCs P0131, P0136, P0148, P0151
and P0156.
The DTCs associated with a HO2S heater circuit malfunction are DTCs P0135, P0141, P0155 and
P0161. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) associated with the downstream HO2S not running in
on-demand is DTC P1127.
The DTCs associated with swapped HO2S connectors are DTCs P1128 and P1129.
3. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive
drive cycles.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation PCM Inputs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (Figure 33) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and
produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of
oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust produces a low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low
concentration of oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The
HO2S provides feedback to the PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near
stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a
voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The Vehicle Power (VPWR) circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will
complete the ground when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater
and heater control system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed
loop fuel control temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style
3.3 ohm heater.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Tube Mounted Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
TUBE MOUNTED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation PCM Inputs
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Typical Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (Figure 42) is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a
signal to the PCM that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing
has a three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases
corrosion resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on
the throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those conditions are closed throttle (includes idle or
deceleration), part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration), wide open throttle (includes
maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank), and throttle angle rate.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The TP sensor monitors throttle position and provides an electrical signal to the PCM. It is
monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system for component integrity, system
functionality, and faults that can cause emissions levels to exceed standards set in government
regulations. For additional information on the TP sensor, refer to Electronic EC System
Hardware-PCM Inputs.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (Figure 45) is a variable reluctance or Hall-effect sensor that
generates a waveform with a frequency that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the
vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity, the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As
the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM
uses the frequency signal generated by the VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as
fuel injection, ignition control, transmission/transaxle shift scheduling and torque converter clutch
scheduling.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Tube Mounted Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
TUBE MOUNTED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 31) is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which
resistance changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as
pressure increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the
voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding
to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 32) senses the pressure difference between the fuel
rail and the intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel
system. The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature
provides an indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature
feedback signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump
sustains fuel rail pressure which preserve fuel in its liquid state. The dynamic range of the fuel
injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the injector pulse width to
decrease.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch (Figure 72) is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump.
The purpose of the IFS switch is to shut off the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel
ball held in place by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the
magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the
switch and shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the Owner Guide for the location of the IFS.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Typical Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (Figure 42) is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a
signal to the PCM that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing
has a three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases
corrosion resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on
the throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those conditions are closed throttle (includes idle or
deceleration), part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration), wide open throttle (includes
maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank), and throttle angle rate.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

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

THERMAL MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) Sensor
The Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (TMAP) (Figure 41) consists of a Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and an integrated thermistor. The thermistor part of the sensor is
currently not being used. The MAP part of the sensor measures intake manifold air absolute
pressure. The PCM uses information from the MAP sensor, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, Mass Air
Flow (MAF) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CKP)
sensor and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to determine how much exhaust gas is introduced
into the intake manifold.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot and Cold Wire Terminals
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors (Figure 34) and integrated Mass Air Flow (MAF) type
(Figure 37), are thermistor devices in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and increases as the
temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 3908
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of fuel spark and MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) AT sensors. Both sensors operate as above.
However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/cold
weather input, while a second sensor Second Intake Air Temperature (IAT2) is located after the
supercharger in the intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air
temperature information to the PCM to control border-line spark and to help determine intercooler
efficiency.

IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - General
Never clean an IAC valve. Carburetor cleaners and other cleaning agents may temporarily repair
the drivability concern, but the long-term functionality of the valve is compromised.
For all drivability concerns, make certain the service writer obtains as much information as possible
from the customer as to the conditions causing drivability concern. Attached is a drivability concern
check off sheet (Figure 2) that if used, can help reduce the time required to diagnose a vehicle.
NOTE
IF THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR AND MOVING THE
POSSIBILITY OF THE IAC VALVE CAUSING THIS IS UNLIKELY UNLESS IT OCCURRED ON
DECELERATION.
Use the following Supplemental information for 3.0L 4V Duratec Engines, in the Taurus/Sable, and
Lincoln LS.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88°C)
^ All accessories should be off steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
^ At stabilized engine speed (RPM) and temperature (hot idle) per the Powertrain Control Emission
Diagnostics (PC/ED) manual, verify the IAC duty cycle is within reference values called out in the
chart in this TSB.
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure that there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
Use the following Supplemental Information for the 3.9L Lincoln LS and Thunderbird.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park

^ Engine idle at approximately 650 RPM
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and the engine cooling fan should be off
^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGRVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE are zero
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
NOTE
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE IAC DUTY CYCLE WHEN THE RPM IS AT 650
RPM. EVEN 700 RPM IS TOO HIGH FOR CHECKING the IAC VALVE DUTY CYCLE UNDER
THESE CONDITIONS. IF THE RPM IS OVER 650 RPM, MOMENTARILY OPENING AND
CLOSING THE THROTTLE AND A SHORT EQUILIBRATION TIME WILL LOWER THE RPM.
At stabilized engine speed and temperature, verify that the IAC duty cycle is between 27-36% with
no purge flow (EVAPV duty cycle is 0%).
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
NOTE
IF THE ORIGINAL IAC VALVE WAS WITHIN DUTY CYCLE SPECIFICATION OR THE DUTY
CYCLE REMAINS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS AFTER IAC VALVE REPLACEMENT FURTHER
DIAGNOSTICS ARE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE CUSTOMER CONCERN.
Use the following Supplemental Information for 4.0L SOHC Engines In the Ranger, Explorer,
Mountaineer, Explorer Sport and Explorer Sport Trac.
If no DTC's present check the following items in this order before examining the IAC valve:
^ BARO Hz reading - Refer to Barometric Pressure Chart listed in this TSB
^ Battery and fuse box power lead
^ Ground wire attachments
^ Wiring (wiggle test)
^ PCM voltage
^ Vacuum leaks
Examine AC valve under these conditions:
^ PCM updated to the latest available calibration
^ Transmission in park
^ Warm stabilized vehicle with engine temperature at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and cooling fan sh6uld be off

^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDC at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims (less than 15)
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Using either NGS or WDS bring up the following PIDS: IACTRIM, IACKAM2, IACKAM3.
2. Allow vehicle to idle until the IACTRIM PID is 0.
NOTE
IACTRIM ALWAYS TRIES TO GO TO 0. WHEN MOVING TOWARDS 0, THE IACKAM2 PID
SHOULD BE CHANGING. IF IACKAM3 IS CHANGING, THEN THE AIR CONDITIONING
SHOULD BE TURNED OFF.
3. If IACKAM2 is between -0.35 and +0.35 with IACTRIM=0, then the valve is operating properly at
idle. The remainder of this TSB will help diagnose true root cause.
4. If IACKAM2 is not between -0.35 and +0.35, it is highly likely that the engine idle system (to
include the throttle body and air intake system) -is not operating properly.
NOTE
FOR ALL VEHICLES PLEASE RECORD THE OBSERVED IAC DUTY CYCLE AND ENGINE RPM
IN THE WARRANTY CLAIMS COMMENTS FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1506 (IAC Over Speed Error) and other High Idle Concerns:
^ There are two primary causes of high idle:
1. Damaged IAC valves and
2. Vacuum leaks
^ AC valves can be damaged from engine induction backfires. Many times the customer may not
notice the induction backfire but will notice the high idle afterwards. Indications of valve damage
can be a shiny, almost polished appearance in the interior of the valve and a dislocated
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed) >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed): > 03-3-5 >
Feb > 03 > Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start/Rough Idle > Page 3921
pintle. An IAC valve damaged by backfire should be replaced. Refer to Figure 1.
^ Inspect PCV system for leaks especially looking for cracks along any rubber elbow joints; also
verify that the correct PCV valve is installed.
^ Inspect for vacuum hoses loose or disconnected from intended ports and connections. Induction
backfire can loosen or disconnect vacuum hoses.
^ Two indicators can help you identify if a vacuum leak is present, even if the engine RPM appear
normal in the service bay. If the duty cycle is below specification that is indicative that the engine is
receiving too much air (from a vacuum leak) and the PCM is ordering the valve to close up to
restrict flow. Another indication is fuel trim. Record the long term and short term fuel trim PIDS
(LONGFT1, LONGFT2, SHORTFT1, etc.), if short term fuel trims are high (above specification) this
is a possible indication of a vacuum leak, making the engine run lean, and the PCM is attempting to
compensate.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1507 (IAC Under Speed Error) and Other Low Idle
Concerns:
^ An under speed error may not necessarily be a fault with the IAC valve. A large friction load on
the engine or obstruction in the air intake system could also reduce the engine RPMs.
^ There are four possible sources of friction load that can contribute to under speed error or low
idle concerns.
1. Power Steering Load
2. Air Conditioning Load
3. Electrical Load
4. Automatic Transmission Torque Converter Load
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Rough Idle
Concerns:
^ Rough idle concerns are often a result of a lean running condition
^ Another possible cause is contamination build up on the MAF sensor
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Engine Hard Start/Engine Crank-No Start
^ While performing diagnostics, the technician should ensure that the fuel system is working
correctly for all engines with hard start/crank no-start complaints.
^ When diagnosing a mechanical return less fuel system, the following correction to the PC/ED
pinpoint HC (4) diagnostic procedure should be used when performing the KEOE fuel pressure
test:
^ Perform the KOEO fuel pressure test as specific in the PC/ED manual.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off no more than 10 psi from maximum pressure (no lower than 55
psi for a 65 psi max system or no lower than 45 psi for a 55 psi max system) within 5 minutes of the
start of the test.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off to no less than 30 psi within 30 minutes of the start of the test.
^ For greatest accuracy, the service technician should read the fuel pressure as soon as possible
after pump shut off, no more than 5 minutes after the start of the test.
NOTE
RETURNABLE AND ELECTRONIC RETURN LESS SYSTEMS SHOULD ALSO BE DIAGNOSED
USING THE PROCEDURES LISTED FOR THEM IN PINPOINT TEST HC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - High Idle RPM at Start Up:
^ Most engines will have a temporary high idle at engine start up to allow for catalyst light off. If
DTC 1506 is not present, this indicates that there is no fault present with the IAC.
^ A vehicle with very low odometer miles, may exhibit a higher than normal temporary startup fast
idle (1600-2500 RPM that decreases slowly). No

repairs should be attempted because this is a normal temporary PCM calibration strategy to
prevent spark plug fouling during plant/transportation operation. The calibration will permanently
revert to its normal strategy after the PCM has seen its first 4 miles of continuous drive cycle. A
brand new vehicle may accumulate some mileage without turning this strategy off if the drive cycle
has been below 4 miles at a time.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - EAC Valve Noise Issues
For IAC valve noise concerns check for obstructed or potentially damaged IAC valve from backfire.

ON SOME NEWER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES THE REACTION SPEED OF THE EAC VALVE IS
FAST ENOUGH THAT IT MIGHT MAKE A "POPPING" SOUND AS IT REACTS TO A LARGE
IDLE LOAD. THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC AND NO ATTEMPTS SHOULD BE MADE
IN AN EFFORT TO MODIFY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE IAC VALVE. IF POSSIBLE,
COMPARE AGAINST A LIKE VEHICLE.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/-1 in.Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE, WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,

ISSUE
Some vehicles, may exhibit drivability conditions.
These may include:
^ No start Difficult to start Stall
^ Low idle
^ Rough idle
^ High idle
^ Hesitation/surge while accelerating or at steady speed
These conditions may be intermittent with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and no Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL). In some cases DTC and MIL may be evident.
ACTION
Trouble cannot be identified with 95% of returned Idle Air Control (IAC) valves. The following
procedure is supplemental information to normal diagnostics to facilitate accurate identification of
malfunctioning valves. These symptoms would include engine stall, hard start, crank/no start, idling
problems, and Idle Speed Control System related DTC's.

IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - General
Never clean an IAC valve. Carburetor cleaners and other cleaning agents may temporarily repair
the drivability concern, but the long-term functionality of the valve is compromised.
For all drivability concerns, make certain the service writer obtains as much information as possible
from the customer as to the conditions causing drivability concern. Attached is a drivability concern
check off sheet (Figure 2) that if used, can help reduce the time required to diagnose a vehicle.
NOTE
IF THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR AND MOVING THE
POSSIBILITY OF THE IAC VALVE CAUSING THIS IS UNLIKELY UNLESS IT OCCURRED ON
DECELERATION.
Use the following Supplemental information for 3.0L 4V Duratec Engines, in the Taurus/Sable, and
Lincoln LS.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88°C)
^ All accessories should be off steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
^ At stabilized engine speed (RPM) and temperature (hot idle) per the Powertrain Control Emission
Diagnostics (PC/ED) manual, verify the IAC duty cycle is within reference values called out in the
chart in this TSB.
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure that there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
Use the following Supplemental Information for the 3.9L Lincoln LS and Thunderbird.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed): >
03-3-5 > Feb > 03 > Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start/Rough Idle > Page 3931
^ Engine idle at approximately 650 RPM
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and the engine cooling fan should be off
^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGRVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE are zero
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
NOTE
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE IAC DUTY CYCLE WHEN THE RPM IS AT 650
RPM. EVEN 700 RPM IS TOO HIGH FOR CHECKING the IAC VALVE DUTY CYCLE UNDER
THESE CONDITIONS. IF THE RPM IS OVER 650 RPM, MOMENTARILY OPENING AND
CLOSING THE THROTTLE AND A SHORT EQUILIBRATION TIME WILL LOWER THE RPM.
At stabilized engine speed and temperature, verify that the IAC duty cycle is between 27-36% with
no purge flow (EVAPV duty cycle is 0%).
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
NOTE
IF THE ORIGINAL IAC VALVE WAS WITHIN DUTY CYCLE SPECIFICATION OR THE DUTY
CYCLE REMAINS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS AFTER IAC VALVE REPLACEMENT FURTHER
DIAGNOSTICS ARE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE CUSTOMER CONCERN.
Use the following Supplemental Information for 4.0L SOHC Engines In the Ranger, Explorer,
Mountaineer, Explorer Sport and Explorer Sport Trac.
If no DTC's present check the following items in this order before examining the IAC valve:
^ BARO Hz reading - Refer to Barometric Pressure Chart listed in this TSB
^ Battery and fuse box power lead
^ Ground wire attachments
^ Wiring (wiggle test)
^ PCM voltage
^ Vacuum leaks
Examine AC valve under these conditions:
^ PCM updated to the latest available calibration
^ Transmission in park
^ Warm stabilized vehicle with engine temperature at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and cooling fan sh6uld be off

^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDC at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims (less than 15)
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Using either NGS or WDS bring up the following PIDS: IACTRIM, IACKAM2, IACKAM3.
2. Allow vehicle to idle until the IACTRIM PID is 0.
NOTE
IACTRIM ALWAYS TRIES TO GO TO 0. WHEN MOVING TOWARDS 0, THE IACKAM2 PID
SHOULD BE CHANGING. IF IACKAM3 IS CHANGING, THEN THE AIR CONDITIONING
SHOULD BE TURNED OFF.
3. If IACKAM2 is between -0.35 and +0.35 with IACTRIM=0, then the valve is operating properly at
idle. The remainder of this TSB will help diagnose true root cause.
4. If IACKAM2 is not between -0.35 and +0.35, it is highly likely that the engine idle system (to
include the throttle body and air intake system) -is not operating properly.
NOTE
FOR ALL VEHICLES PLEASE RECORD THE OBSERVED IAC DUTY CYCLE AND ENGINE RPM
IN THE WARRANTY CLAIMS COMMENTS FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1506 (IAC Over Speed Error) and other High Idle Concerns:
^ There are two primary causes of high idle:
1. Damaged IAC valves and
2. Vacuum leaks
^ AC valves can be damaged from engine induction backfires. Many times the customer may not
notice the induction backfire but will notice the high idle afterwards. Indications of valve damage
can be a shiny, almost polished appearance in the interior of the valve and a dislocated
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed) >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed): >
03-3-5 > Feb > 03 > Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start/Rough Idle > Page 3933
pintle. An IAC valve damaged by backfire should be replaced. Refer to Figure 1.
^ Inspect PCV system for leaks especially looking for cracks along any rubber elbow joints; also
verify that the correct PCV valve is installed.
^ Inspect for vacuum hoses loose or disconnected from intended ports and connections. Induction
backfire can loosen or disconnect vacuum hoses.
^ Two indicators can help you identify if a vacuum leak is present, even if the engine RPM appear
normal in the service bay. If the duty cycle is below specification that is indicative that the engine is
receiving too much air (from a vacuum leak) and the PCM is ordering the valve to close up to
restrict flow. Another indication is fuel trim. Record the long term and short term fuel trim PIDS
(LONGFT1, LONGFT2, SHORTFT1, etc.), if short term fuel trims are high (above specification) this
is a possible indication of a vacuum leak, making the engine run lean, and the PCM is attempting to
compensate.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1507 (IAC Under Speed Error) and Other Low Idle
Concerns:
^ An under speed error may not necessarily be a fault with the IAC valve. A large friction load on
the engine or obstruction in the air intake system could also reduce the engine RPMs.
^ There are four possible sources of friction load that can contribute to under speed error or low
idle concerns.
1. Power Steering Load
2. Air Conditioning Load
3. Electrical Load
4. Automatic Transmission Torque Converter Load
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Rough Idle
Concerns:
^ Rough idle concerns are often a result of a lean running condition
^ Another possible cause is contamination build up on the MAF sensor
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Engine Hard Start/Engine Crank-No Start
^ While performing diagnostics, the technician should ensure that the fuel system is working
correctly for all engines with hard start/crank no-start complaints.
^ When diagnosing a mechanical return less fuel system, the following correction to the PC/ED
pinpoint HC (4) diagnostic procedure should be used when performing the KEOE fuel pressure
test:
^ Perform the KOEO fuel pressure test as specific in the PC/ED manual.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off no more than 10 psi from maximum pressure (no lower than 55
psi for a 65 psi max system or no lower than 45 psi for a 55 psi max system) within 5 minutes of the
start of the test.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off to no less than 30 psi within 30 minutes of the start of the test.
^ For greatest accuracy, the service technician should read the fuel pressure as soon as possible
after pump shut off, no more than 5 minutes after the start of the test.
NOTE
RETURNABLE AND ELECTRONIC RETURN LESS SYSTEMS SHOULD ALSO BE DIAGNOSED
USING THE PROCEDURES LISTED FOR THEM IN PINPOINT TEST HC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - High Idle RPM at Start Up:
^ Most engines will have a temporary high idle at engine start up to allow for catalyst light off. If
DTC 1506 is not present, this indicates that there is no fault present with the IAC.
^ A vehicle with very low odometer miles, may exhibit a higher than normal temporary startup fast
idle (1600-2500 RPM that decreases slowly). No

repairs should be attempted because this is a normal temporary PCM calibration strategy to
prevent spark plug fouling during plant/transportation operation. The calibration will permanently
revert to its normal strategy after the PCM has seen its first 4 miles of continuous drive cycle. A
brand new vehicle may accumulate some mileage without turning this strategy off if the drive cycle
has been below 4 miles at a time.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - EAC Valve Noise Issues
For IAC valve noise concerns check for obstructed or potentially damaged IAC valve from backfire.

ON SOME NEWER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES THE REACTION SPEED OF THE EAC VALVE IS
FAST ENOUGH THAT IT MIGHT MAKE A "POPPING" SOUND AS IT REACTS TO A LARGE
IDLE LOAD. THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC AND NO ATTEMPTS SHOULD BE MADE
IN AN EFFORT TO MODIFY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE IAC VALVE. IF POSSIBLE,
COMPARE AGAINST A LIKE VEHICLE.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/-1 in.Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE, WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No.1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor (Figure 22)
and the two pin connector variable reluctance sensor (Figure 23).

Clutch Switch: Description and Operation
CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch (Figure 24) is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch
pedal position and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement
position and the gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference Vehicle Reference
Voltage (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP
signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP and PNP switches are closed) is closed,
indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL position, the output
voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal return line to the PCM, and there is 1
volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load on the engine. If the CPP switch (or
PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on the vehicle) is open, meaning the
clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not in NEUTRAL position (PNP
switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be approximately 5 volts. Then, the
5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine. The PCM uses the load
information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3965
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE - VEHICLE SPEED OUTPUT (VSO)
The PCM-VSO (Powertrain Control Module - Vehicle Speed Output) speed signal subsystem
generates vehicle speed information for distribution to the vehicle's electrical/electronic modules
and subsystems that require vehicle speed data. This subsystem senses the transmission output
shaft speed with a sensor. The data is processed by the PCM, and distributed as a hard-wired
signal or as a multiplexed data message.
The key features of the PCM-VSO system are to:
^ Infer vehicle movement from the output shaft sensor signal
^ Convert transmission output shaft rotational information to vehicle speed information
^ Compensate for tire size and axle ratio with a programmed calibration variable
^ Utilize a transfer case sensor for four wheel drive applications
^ Distribute vehicle speed information as a multiplexed message and/or an analog signal
The signal from a non-contact shaft sensor (Output Shaft Sensor--OSS or Transfer Case Shaft
Sensor--TCSS) mounted on the transmission (automatics, manuals, or 4X4 transfer cases) is
sensed directly by the PCM. The PCM converts the OSS or TCSS information to 8000 pulses per
mile, based on a tire and axle ratio conversion factor. This conversion factor is programmed into
the PCM at the time the vehicle is assembled and can be reprogrammed in the field for servicing
changes in the tire size and axle ratio. The PCM transmits the computed vehicle speed and
distance traveled information to all the vehicle speed signal users on the vehicle. VSO information
can be transmitted by a hard-wired interface between the vehicle speed signal user and the PCM,
or by Speed and Odometer SCP multiplexed data messages.
The VSO hard-wired signal wave form is a DC square wave with a voltage level of 0 to VBAT.
Typical output operating range is 2.22Hz per MPH (1.3808 Hz pr 1 Km/h). Multiplexed data for
speed and distance data are transmitted as separate SCP messages over the SCP multiplex link.

Powertrain Control Module: Service and Repair Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read
Only Memory
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory - Flash EEPROM
Description
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory (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
reprogrammed or reflashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM as under Programming the VID Block for
a Replacement PCM. Failure to perform this procedure may generate fault code: P1639, VID Block
not programmed or is corrupt. The VID block in an existing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). can
also be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production.
Failure to perform this procedure properly may generate fault code: P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of
Acceptable Range. 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 VIN number, octane adjust, fuel octane,
fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the presence of speed control and four wheel
drive electronic shift on the fly versus manual shift on the fly. Only items applicable to vehicle
hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to flash the PCM
again to reset the VID block.
Each of the procedures described below use the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
Reprogramming can be performed by a local Ford dealer for any non Ford facility. There are other
Enhanced Scan Tools that may have reprogramming capabilities available. Refer to the diagnostic
tool manufacturers users manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and will need programming. There are two procedures available. The
first is an automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM and the second is manual data
entry into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been replaced.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and is incapable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. 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 L-M
technician's, contact your National Hotline for "AS Built" data. Non Ford technicians, use the Fed
World website at "fedworld.gov". Select Auto Service Information and search for "Calibrations" or
"Vehicle Calibrations" then specify vehicle manufacturer, model name and model year as required.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate vehicle hardware. Refer to PCM/Module Reprogramming on the Scan Tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM will need 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 PCM/Module Reprogramming on the Scan Tool.

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor (Figure 26) is a thermistor device in which
resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as
temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects
the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is installed in the aluminum 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 would then initiate a fail-safe cooling strategy based on
information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system failure 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. For additional information, refer to
Powertrain Control Software for Fail-Safe Cooling Strategy details.

Fuel Pump Signal: Description and Operation
FUEL PUMP MONITOR
Applications Using a Fuel Pump Relay for Fuel Pump On/Off Control
The Fuel Pump Monitor (FPM) circuit is spliced into the Fuel Pump Power (FP PWR) circuit and is
used by the PCM for diagnostic purposes. The PCM sources a low current voltage down the FPM
circuit. With the fuel pump off, this voltage is pulled low by the path to ground through the fuel
pump. With the fuel pump off and the FPM circuit low, the PCM can verify that the FPM circuit and
the FP PWR circuit are complete from the FPM splice through the fuel pump to ground. This also
confirms that the FP PWR or FPM circuits are not shorted to power. With the fuel pump on, voltage
is now being supplied from the fuel pump relay to the FP PWR and FPM circuits. With the fuel
pump on and the FPM circuit high, the PCM can verify that the FP PWR circuit from the fuel pump
relay to the FPM splice is complete. It can also verify that the fuel pump relay contacts are closed
and there is a B+ supply to the fuel pump relay.

Idle Air Control Valve: Description and Operation
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE
Nippondenso Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly With Vent/Filter
The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly (Figure 117) and (Figure 118) controls engine idle speed
and provides a dashpot function. The IAC valve assembly meters intake air around the throttle
plate through a bypass within the IAC valve assembly and throttle body. The PCM determines the
desired idle speed or bypass air and signals the IAC valve assembly through a specified duty cycle.
The IAC valve responds by positioning the IAC valve to control the amount of bypassed air. The
PCM monitors engine rpm and increases or decreases the IAC duty cycle in order to achieve the
desired rpm.

Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic] > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 4051
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly With Air-Assist Injectors
On applications with air-assisted injectors, the IAC valve (Figure 119) also supplies a small amount
of air into the path of the fuel injectors. The jet of air causes an increase in fuel atomization at low
speed and light load conditions.
NOTE: The IAC Valve Assembly is NOT ADJUSTABLE and CANNOT BE CLEANED.
The IAC valve (part of throttle body assembly) has an internal diode on some applications. If the
internal diode is measured in crossed terminal position with a digital multimeter, there will be an
incorrect or negative reading. It is important that the mating component and harness connectors
correctly oriented. Diagnostic procedures emphasize this importance.
The PCM uses the IAC valve assembly to control:
^ No touch start
^ Cold engine fast idle for rapid warm-up
^ Idle (corrects for engine load)
^ Stumble or stalling on deceleration (provides a dashpot function)
^ Over-temperature idle boost.
^ Air Assist to Injectors.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Module Communication Network
<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4058
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4061
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Module Communication Network: Description and Operation
The module communications network consists of the following items:
^ Generic Electronics Module (GEM)
^ Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP) communications network
^ International Standards Organization (ISO) communications network
^ Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
^ Anti-lock Brake Module (ABS)
^ Restraint Control Module (RCM)
^ Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP)/central security module
^ Four-wheel Drive (4WD) control module (if equipped)
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Module Communication Network
<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description and Operation > Page 4082
Module Communication Network: Description and Operation Principles and Operation
The vehicle has two module communications networks. The Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP),
which is an unshielded twisted pair cable (data bus plus, circuit 914 [TN/OG] and data bus minus,
circuit 915 [PK/LB]); and the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9141 network which is a
single wire (circuit 70 [LB/WH]). The diagnostic tool can connect to both networks through the Data
Link Connector (DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing of these systems easier by allowing one
smart tester to be able to diagnose and control any module on the two networks from one
connector. The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the steering column and the
radio.
The SCP communication network will remain operational even with the severing of one of the bus
wires. Communications will also continue if one of the bus wires is shorted to ground or voltage, or
if some, but not all, termination resistors are lost.
The ISO 9141 communication network does not permit inter-module communication. When the
diagnostic tool communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, the diagnostic
tool must ask for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.
Unlike the SCP, the ISO 9141 communication network will not function if the wire is shorted to
ground or battery voltage. Also, if one of the modules on the ISO 9141 communication network
loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will fail.
There is one module linked to the SCP communication network and five modules linked to the ISO
9141 communication network.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is on the SCP communication network. The PCM controls
the engine for better fuel economy, emissions control and failure mode detection and storage.
The Restraint Control Module (RCM) is on the ISO 9141 communication network. The RCM
controls the deployment of the air bags based on sensor input.
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) is on the ISO 9141 communication network. The GEM
controls a variety of systems:
^ windshield wipers
^ courtesy lamps
^ warning chimes
^ interior lamps
^ exterior lamps
^ power windows
For additional GEM information, refer to Multifunction Electronic Control Module (General Module).
The central security module (vehicles built after 7/24/2000) is on the ISO 9141 communication
network. The remote anti-theft personality (RAP) module (vehicles built before 7/24/2000) is on the
ISO 9141 communication network. The RAP/central security module controls the keyless remote
entry of the vehicle.
The Anti-lock Brake Control (ABS) module is on the ISO 9141 communication network. The ABS
module controls the brake pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle under control while
braking.
The Four-wheel Drive (4WD) control module is on the ISO 9141 communications network. The
4WD module controls all four-wheel drive functions including the 4WDLOW and 4WDHIGH
indicator lamps.

Module Communication Network: Description and Operation Principles of Operation
Some modules must be programmed as part of the repair procedure. If this procedure is not
followed the module will not function correctly and may set a number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs), including B2477 or P1639, which indicate that some necessary data has not been
programmed into the module.
Modules that need programming should not be transferred between vehicles. In most cases the
parameter values or settings are unique to that vehicle, and if not set correctly will cause
malfunctions or faults.
Some programmable parameters, such as belt minder on/off, can be changed from the factory
setting at the customer's request.
WDS will automatically attempt to retrieve the module configuration information from all modules,
and from a backup location in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) when Vehicle ID is carried out.
If the module and the PCM do not contain correct information the diagnostic tool will either request
"As Built" data or display a list of items that you will need to manually configure. The diagnostic tool
will program the module based on the data you enter.
There are three different methods that are used for module programming:
^ Programmable Module Installation (PMI)
^ calibration update
^ programmable parameters
Some modules do not support all three methods.
Programmable Module Installation (PMI) The programmable module installation (PMI) method is
used when a new programmable module is installed on the vehicle. It is no longer necessary to
command the diagnostic tool to gather module option content from the old module. The diagnostic
tool automatically obtains any available module option content information from the old module
during the Vehicle ID routine that runs when the diagnostic tool is initially connected to the vehicle.
It is important that you connect WDS to the vehicle and allow it to identify the vehicle and obtain
configuration data prior to removing any modules.
Calibration Update Calibration update is used to install a new calibration and strategy into a
module. The updates are usually issued to fix a concern in the module software and would
normally be addressed by a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). This method has been used by the
PCM for several years. Other modules will be adopting this strategy as well.
Programmable Parameters This method is used to configure parameters that can be modified in
repair. These are typically at the preference of the customer. Not all features controlled by the
module are listed in this configuration method. Refer to the Module Configuration Index for a list of
features by system.
If a module that has been modified using programmable parameters needs to be installed, the PMI
procedure will maintain the parameters in their altered state if WDS is able to communicate with the
old module during Vehicle ID. Otherwise you may need to use programmable parameters to return
them to the altered state.
Vehicle Identification (VID) Block Some PCMs contain a memory area called a vehicle identification
(VID) block. The VID block is used to store backup data for each programmable module, as well as
powertrain configuration information.
If the diagnostic tool cannot retrieve module option content information from the suspect module,
the diagnostic tool will attempt to extract backup information from the PCM's VID block.
The PCM VID block contains the factory settings for the configurable modules unless the PCM is
flashed with a new calibration, in which case some PCM parameters may be modified.
As-Built Data Center The As-Built Data Center maintains a record of the vehicle configuration in a
database. The vehicles VIN is necessary to obtain this information. The As-Built Data Center
records the applicable module configurations stored in each module before the vehicle leaves the
factory. The As-Built Data Center will always reflect the original build of the vehicle as it left the
factory. Only contact the As-Built Data Center when directed to do so by the diagnostic tool.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
Check Engine, Service Engine Soon Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (Figure 15) alerts the driver that the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) has detected an OBD II emission-related component or system fault. When this
occurs, an OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
^ The MIL is located on the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or ISO standard engine symbol (Figure 16).
^ Power is supplied to the MIL whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.
^ The MIL will remain on in the RUN/START mode as a bulb check during the instrument cluster
proveout for approximately 4 seconds.
^ If the MIL remains on after the bulb check: The PCM illuminates the MIL for an emission related concern and a DTC will be present.
- The instrument cluster will illuminate the MIL if the PCM does not send a control message to the
instrument cluster.
- The PCM is operating in the Hardware Limited Operation Strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL circuit is shorted to ground.
^ If the MIL remains off (during the bulb check): Bulb is damaged.
- MIL circuit is open.
^ To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the Scan Tool must be sent, or three
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a fault.
^ For any MIL concern, GO to Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection.
^ If the MIL blinks at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition could possibly exist.
^ If the MIL blinks erratically, an intermittent open B+ to the bulb or an intermittent short to ground
in the MIL circuit exist. Also, the PCM can reset while cranking if battery voltage is low.

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

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

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

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

Diagnosis > Page 4147
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).

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

[Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability
Diagnosis > Page 4148
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <-->
[Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability
Diagnosis > Page 4149
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

[Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability
Diagnosis > Page 4150
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
Heated Oxygen Sensor Monitor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S
sensors for a malfunction or deterioration which can affect emissions. The fuel control or upstream
HO2S is checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time it takes to switch from lean
to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper
output voltage. The following illustration shows that input is required from the Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT), Intake Air Temperature (IAT), Mass Air
Flow (MAF) and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensors to activate the HO2S Monitor. The Fuel
System Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the
HO2S Monitor is enabled.
1. The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel
ratio of approximately 14.7:1), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich
of stoichiometric, the HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt. The HO2S Monitor
evaluates both the upstream (fuel control) and downstream (Catalyst Monitor) HO2S for proper
function.
2. Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream HO2S signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is
determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to a maximum calibratable threshold voltage. A
fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate. A HO2S
heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a corresponding
change in the Output State Monitor (OSM) and by measuring the current going through the heater
circuit. The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) associated with HO2S lack of switching are DTCs P1130,
P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151 and P1152.
The DTCs associated with HO2S slow response rate are DTCs P0133 and P0153.
The DTCs associated with HO2S signal circuit malfunction are DTCs P0131, P0136, P0148, P0151
and P0156.
The DTCs associated with a HO2S heater circuit malfunction are DTCs P0135, P0141, P0155 and
P0161. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) associated with the downstream HO2S not running in
on-demand is DTC P1127.
The DTCs associated with swapped HO2S connectors are DTCs P1128 and P1129.
3. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive
drive cycles.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation PCM Inputs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (Figure 33) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and
produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of
oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust produces a low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low
concentration of oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The
HO2S provides feedback to the PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near
stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a
voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The Vehicle Power (VPWR) circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will
complete the ground when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater
and heater control system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed
loop fuel control temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style
3.3 ohm heater.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Tube Mounted Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
TUBE MOUNTED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

NOISE - "BUZZ" COMING FROM CENTER OR RIGHT SIDE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL - HEARD
AT IDLE OR LOW SPEED DRIVING
FORD: 2001 EXPLORER
ISSUE Some Sport and Sport Trac vehicles built between 7/1/2000 and 2/28/2001 may exhibit a
"buzz" coming from the center or right side of the instrument panel at idle and/or low speed driving
with rpm range between base idle and 1800 rpm. This may be caused by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) resonating against the heat shield that is located inside the PCM.
ACTION Verify buzz. Insulate the PCM from the heat shield with hard foam tape. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the PCM from the vehicle. Refer to the 2001 Explorer Workshop Manual, Section
303-14 for removal procedure.
2. Cut a piece of Urethane Tape (hard foam), Rotunda part number 164-R4902, to the following
dimensions: 20 mm width, 3 mm thickness, and 45 mm length. The urethane tape is located in the
Rotunda Squeak and Rattle Kit, part number 164-R4900.
3. Lay the PCM flat on a table. After removing the adhesive backing, place the foam tape on the
top surface of the module at the rear center of the module. This will dampen the buzz noise from
the PCM outer case. (Figure 1).
4. Reinstall the PCM. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 303-14 for installation procedure.
5. Test drive vehicle to verify that the noise is corrected.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE - VEHICLE SPEED OUTPUT (VSO)
The PCM-VSO (Powertrain Control Module - Vehicle Speed Output) speed signal subsystem
generates vehicle speed information for distribution to the vehicle's electrical/electronic modules
and subsystems that require vehicle speed data. This subsystem senses the transmission output
shaft speed with a sensor. The data is processed by the PCM, and distributed as a hard-wired
signal or as a multiplexed data message.
The key features of the PCM-VSO system are to:
^ Infer vehicle movement from the output shaft sensor signal
^ Convert transmission output shaft rotational information to vehicle speed information
^ Compensate for tire size and axle ratio with a programmed calibration variable
^ Utilize a transfer case sensor for four wheel drive applications
^ Distribute vehicle speed information as a multiplexed message and/or an analog signal
The signal from a non-contact shaft sensor (Output Shaft Sensor--OSS or Transfer Case Shaft
Sensor--TCSS) mounted on the transmission (automatics, manuals, or 4X4 transfer cases) is
sensed directly by the PCM. The PCM converts the OSS or TCSS information to 8000 pulses per
mile, based on a tire and axle ratio conversion factor. This conversion factor is programmed into
the PCM at the time the vehicle is assembled and can be reprogrammed in the field for servicing
changes in the tire size and axle ratio. The PCM transmits the computed vehicle speed and
distance traveled information to all the vehicle speed signal users on the vehicle. VSO information
can be transmitted by a hard-wired interface between the vehicle speed signal user and the PCM,
or by Speed and Odometer SCP multiplexed data messages.
The VSO hard-wired signal wave form is a DC square wave with a voltage level of 0 to VBAT.
Typical output operating range is 2.22Hz per MPH (1.3808 Hz pr 1 Km/h). Multiplexed data for
speed and distance data are transmitted as separate SCP messages over the SCP multiplex link.

Powertrain Control Module: Service and Repair Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read
Only Memory
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory - Flash EEPROM
Description
Flash Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory (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
reprogrammed or reflashed repeatedly.
As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM as under Programming the VID Block for
a Replacement PCM. Failure to perform this procedure may generate fault code: P1639, VID Block
not programmed or is corrupt. The VID block in an existing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). can
also be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since production.
Failure to perform this procedure properly may generate fault code: P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of
Acceptable Range. 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 VIN number, octane adjust, fuel octane,
fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the presence of speed control and four wheel
drive electronic shift on the fly versus manual shift on the fly. Only items applicable to vehicle
hardware and supported by the VID block will be displayed on the scan tool.
When changing items in the VID block, the strategy will place range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The VID block is also limited to the number of times to be reconfigured. When
this limit is reached, the scan tool will display a message indicating the need to flash the PCM
again to reset the VID block.
Each of the procedures described below use the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).
Reprogramming can be performed by a local Ford dealer for any non Ford facility. There are other
Enhanced Scan Tools that may have reprogramming capabilities available. Refer to the diagnostic
tool manufacturers users manual for details.
Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM
A new PCM will contain the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However,
the VID block will be blank and will need programming. There are two procedures available. The
first is an automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM and the second is manual data
entry into the new PCM.
Automatic data transfer will be performed if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done
by the use of a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The
stored data can now be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been replaced.
Manual data entry must be performed if the old module is damaged and is incapable of
communicating. Remove and replace the old PCM. 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 L-M
technician's, contact your National Hotline for "AS Built" data. Non Ford technicians, use the Fed
World website at "fedworld.gov". Select Auto Service Information and search for "Calibrations" or
"Vehicle Calibrations" then specify vehicle manufacturer, model name and model year as required.
Making Changes to the VID Block
A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate vehicle hardware. Refer to PCM/Module Reprogramming on the Scan Tool.
Making Changes to the PCM Calibration
At certain times, the entire EEPROM will need 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 PCM/Module Reprogramming on the Scan Tool.

THERMAL MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR
Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) Sensor
The Thermal Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (TMAP) (Figure 41) consists of a Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and an integrated thermistor. The thermistor part of the sensor is
currently not being used. The MAP part of the sensor measures intake manifold air absolute
pressure. The PCM uses information from the MAP sensor, Throttle Position (TP) sensor, Mass Air
Flow (MAF) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CKP)
sensor and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to determine how much exhaust gas is introduced
into the intake manifold.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No.1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor (Figure 22)
and the two pin connector variable reluctance sensor (Figure 23).

Clutch Switch: Description and Operation
CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP)/Park-Neutral Position (PNP) Switches
The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch (Figure 24) is an input to the PCM indicating the clutch
pedal position and, in some manual transmission applications, both the clutch pedal engagement
position and the gear shift position. The PCM provides a 5-volt reference Vehicle Reference
Voltage (VREF) signal to the CPP switch and/or a Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (on the CPP
signal line). If the CPP switch (either or both CPP and PNP switches are closed) is closed,
indicating the clutch pedal is engaged and the shift lever is in the NEUTRAL position, the output
voltage (5 volts) from the PCM is grounded through the signal return line to the PCM, and there is 1
volt or less. One volt or less indicates there is a reduced load on the engine. If the CPP switch (or
PNP switch on vehicle or both CPP and PNP switches open on the vehicle) is open, meaning the
clutch pedal is disengaged (all systems) and the shift lever is not in NEUTRAL position (PNP
switch systems), the input on the CPP signal to the PCM will be approximately 5 volts. Then, the
5-volt signal input at the PCM will indicate a load on the engine. The PCM uses the load
information in mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor (Figure 26) is a thermistor device in which
resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a thermistor decreases as
temperature increases, and increases as temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects
the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM
corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor is installed in the aluminum 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 would then initiate a fail-safe cooling strategy based on
information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system failure 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. For additional information, refer to
Powertrain Control Software for Fail-Safe Cooling Strategy details.

temperature increases, and increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance
affects the voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM

The ECT measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The sensor is threaded into an engine
coolant passage. The ECT sensor is similar in construction to the IAT sensor.

Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot and Cold Wire Terminals
The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensors (Figure 34) and integrated Mass Air Flow (MAF) type
(Figure 37), are thermistor devices in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical
resistance of a thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and increases as the
temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor
terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding to temperature.

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of fuel spark and MAF.
The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.
Supercharged 5.4L Lightning vehicles use (2) AT sensors. Both sensors operate as above.
However, one is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard OBD II/cold
weather input, while a second sensor Second Intake Air Temperature (IAT2) is located after the
supercharger in the intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air
temperature information to the PCM to control border-line spark and to help determine intercooler
efficiency.

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4339
The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

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

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

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

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4348
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4349
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4350
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Heated Oxygen Sensor <--> [Oxygen Sensor] > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4351
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit

Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
Heated Oxygen Sensor Monitor
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S
sensors for a malfunction or deterioration which can affect emissions. The fuel control or upstream
HO2S is checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time it takes to switch from lean
to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper
output voltage. The following illustration shows that input is required from the Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT), Intake Air Temperature (IAT), Mass Air
Flow (MAF) and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensors to activate the HO2S Monitor. The Fuel
System Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the
HO2S Monitor is enabled.
1. The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel
ratio of approximately 14.7:1), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich
of stoichiometric, the HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt. The HO2S Monitor
evaluates both the upstream (fuel control) and downstream (Catalyst Monitor) HO2S for proper
function.
2. Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream HO2S signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is
determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to a maximum calibratable threshold voltage. A
fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate. A HO2S
heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a corresponding
change in the Output State Monitor (OSM) and by measuring the current going through the heater
circuit. The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) associated with HO2S lack of switching are DTCs P1130,
P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151 and P1152.
The DTCs associated with HO2S slow response rate are DTCs P0133 and P0153.
The DTCs associated with HO2S signal circuit malfunction are DTCs P0131, P0136, P0148, P0151
and P0156.
The DTCs associated with a HO2S heater circuit malfunction are DTCs P0135, P0141, P0155 and
P0161. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) associated with the downstream HO2S not running in
on-demand is DTC P1127.
The DTCs associated with swapped HO2S connectors are DTCs P1128 and P1129.
3. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive
drive cycles.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation PCM Inputs
HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (Figure 33) detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and
produces a variable voltage according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of
oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust produces a low voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low
concentration of oxygen (rich air/fuel ratio) produces a high voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The
HO2S provides feedback to the PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near
stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a
voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.
Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
temperatures of 800°C (1400°F). At approximately 300°C (600°F) the engine can enter closed loop
operation. The Vehicle Power (VPWR) circuit supplies voltage to the heater and the PCM will
complete the ground when the proper conditions occur. For model year 1998 a new HO2S heater
and heater control system are installed on some vehicles. The high power heater reaches closed
loop fuel control temperatures. The use of this heater requires that the HO2S heater control be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater. The 6 ohm design is not interchangeable with new style
3.3 ohm heater.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

TUBE MOUNTED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Typical Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (Figure 42) is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a
signal to the PCM that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing
has a three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases
corrosion resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on
the throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those conditions are closed throttle (includes idle or
deceleration), part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration), wide open throttle (includes
maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank), and throttle angle rate.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation Variable Cam Timing System
Variable Cam Timing System
Overview
The Variable Cam Timing System allows the exhaust cam to advance and retard at varying engine
speeds. The purpose of this is to reduce exhaust emissions and increase fuel economy. As the
exhaust cam retards in relation to the crankshaft position, residual exhaust gases are left in the
combustion chamber. The residual gases cool the combustion chamber and are inert when mixed
with the incoming fresh charge of fuel and air. This results in better fuel economy and lower
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Hydrocarbons (HG) the engine produces. The Exhaust Gas
Recalculation System (EGR) is unnecessary on the 2.0L (4V) engine due to this feature.
Variable Cam Timing
The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system consists of the control solenoid, five-tooth pulse ring (4+1)
on exhaust camshaft, Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, Crankshaft Position (CKP)
sensor, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (Figure 129).
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives input signals from the Intake Air Temperature
(IAT) sensor, Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) sensor, Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor for determining the operating conditions of the engine.
2. The Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system is enabled by the PCM when the proper conditions are
met. The PCM disables the VCT system if
a fault is detected.
3. The PCM calculates relative cam position using the CMP sensor and data from the (4+1) pulse
ring mounted on the exhaust camshaft.
Relative cam position is calculated by measuring the time between the rising edge of Profile
Ignition Pickup (PIP) and the falling edge of Variable Cam Timing (VCT) pulse.
4. The PCM continually calculates a cam position error value based on the difference between the
desired and actual position and a duty
cycle is commanded for the VCT solenoid valve. Engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT unit.
5. Oil flows to either side of the piston chamber changing a linear motion from the piston to a
rotation motion from the helical mechanism in
the VCT unit. During closed loop the PCM outputs a revised duty cycle to the VCT solenoid valve
to correct for cam position error.

Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Solenoid Valve
The VCT solenoid valve (Figure 130) is an integral part of the VCT system. The solenoid valve

Variable Cam Timing Unit Assembly
Variable Cam Timing (VCT) Unit Assembly
The variable cam timing unit assembly (Figure 131) is coupled to the camshaft through a helical
spline in the VCT unit chamber. When the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the
other, the differential change in oil pressure forces the piston to move linearly along the axis of the
camshaft. This linear motion is translated into rotational camshaft motion through the helical spline
coupling. A spring installed

other direction. The check side of this valve will hold the highest vacuum registered on the vacuum
side.

Refer to Figure 1 to better understand the H025 sensor names and locations. Regardless of how
the engine is mounted in the vehicle, conventional or transverse, the HO2S naming convention
stays the same in relationship to engine banks 1 and 2. Bank 1 will always be the bank containing
the # 1 cylinder.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4502
The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

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

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

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4511
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4512
4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4513
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4514
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Federal Test
Procedure
Catalyst Efficiency Monitor - Federal Test Procedure
The Catalyst Efficiency Monitor uses an oxygen sensor before and after the catalyst to infer the
hydrocarbon efficiency based on oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. Under normal, close-loop
fuel conditions, high efficiency catalysts have significant oxygen storage. This makes the switching
frequency of the rear Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) very slow and reduces the amplitude of those
switches as compared to the switching frequency and amplitude of the front HO2S. As the catalyst
efficiency deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen declines. The post-catalyst or downstream HO2S
signal begins to switch more rapidly with increasing amplitude, approaching the switching
frequency and amplitude of the pre-catalyst or upstream HO2S.
All applications utilize an FTP-based (Federal Test Procedure) catalyst monitor. This simply means
that the catalyst monitor must run during a standard FTP emission test as opposed to the
20-second steady state catalyst monitor used in 1994 through some 1996 vehicles. Two slightly
different versions of the catalyst monitor are used in the 2001 model year.
Switch Ratio Method (1996 - 2001)
1. In order to assess catalyst oxygen storage, the monitor counts front and rear HO2S switches
during part-throttle, close-loop fuel condition after
the engine is warmed-up and inferred catalyst temperature is within limits. Front switches are
accumulated in up to nine different air mass regions or cells although three air mass regions is
typical. Rear switches are counted in a single cell for all air mass regions. When the required
number of front switches has accumulated in each cell, the total number of rear switches is divided
by the total number of front switches to compute a switch ratio. A switch ratio near 0.0 indicates
high oxygen storage capacity, hence high HC efficiency. A switch ratio near 1.0 indicates low
oxygen storage capacity, hence low HC efficiency. If the actual switch ratio exceeds a calibrated
threshold switch ratio, the catalyst is considered failed.
Inputs from Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) or Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) (warm
engine), IAT (not extreme ambient temperatures), Mass Air Flow (MAF) (greater than minimum
engine load), Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) (within vehicle speed widow) and Throttle Position (TP)
(at part-throttle) are required to enable the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor.
2. The DTCs associated with this test are Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0420 (Bank 1) and
P0430 (Bank 2). Because an Exponentially
Weight Moving Average algorithm is use for malfunction determination, up to six driving cycles may
be required to illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) during normal customer driving. If
Keep Alive Memory (KAM) is reset, a malfunction will illuminate the MIL in 2 drive cycles.
Index Ratio Method (some 2001 and beyond)
1. In order to assess catalyst oxygen storage, the catalyst monitor counts front HO2S switches
during part-throttle, closed-loop fuel conditions
after the engine is warmed-up and inferred catalyst temperature is within limits. Front switches are
accumulated in up to three different air mass regions or cells. While catalyst monitoring entry
conditions are being met, the front and rear HO2S signal lengths are continually being calculated.
When the required number of front switches has accumulated in each cell, the total signal length of
the rear HO2S is divided by the total signal length of the front HO2S to compute a catalyst index
ratio. An index ratio near 0.0 indicates high oxygen storage capacity, hence high efficiency. A
switch ratio near 1.0 indicates low oxygen storage capacity, hence low HC efficiency. If the actual
index ratio exceeds the threshold index ratio, the catalyst is considered failed.

If the catalyst monitor does not complete during a particular driving cycle, the already accumulated
switch/signal data is retained in Keep Alive Memory and is used during the next driving cycle to
allow the catalyst monitor a better opportunity to complete.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Catalyst and Exhaust Systems
Catalyst and Exhaust System
Overview
The Catalytic Converter and Exhaust Systems (Figure 135) work together to control the release of
harmful engine exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of
Nitrogen (N), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water Vapor (H2O). However, it also contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO), Oxides Of Nitrogen (NOx), Hydrogen (H), and various unburned Hydrocarbons
(HCs). CO, NO(x), and HCs are major air pollutants, and their emission into the atmosphere must
be controlled.
The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, upstream
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, downstream HO2S, a muffler and an exhaust
tailpipe. The catalytic converter is installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system.
Generic Catalyst and Exhaust System
Catalytic Converter
A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst will also enable a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature.
The concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated
honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust gases
come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The catalyst
initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components so they
are used up as much as possible.
Exhaust System
The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. An HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of Carbon Monoxide (CO),
unburned Hydrocarbons (HCs) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NO) in the exhaust emissions to an
acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed from the catalytic converter to a
muffler through the rear exhaust pipe. Another HO2S is mounted on the rear exhaust pipe. Lastly,
the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust tailpipe.
HARDWARE
The downstream HO2S may be located after the light off catalyst or underbody catalyst. The
underbody catalyst may be in-line with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be
common to two light off catalysts, forming a "Y" pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the
catalyst and exhaust system, refer to Exhaust System.
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The Three Way Catalytic (TWC) converter contains either platinum (Pt) and Rhodium (Rh) or
Palladium (Pd) and Rhodium (Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of
unburned HCs and CO and the reduction reaction of NO. The three-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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Acronyms and Definitions > Page 4532
Exhaust Pipes
Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.
Upstream Heated and Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensors
The HO2S provide the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information
related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.
In addition to providing the PCM with indications of how rich/lean the engine is operating, the
upstream HO2S signal serves as an input to the HO2S monitor. The downstream HO2S signal is
an input to the Catalyst Efficiency monitor.
Muffler
Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and it also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

Test Graph
EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Data Chart
The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid (Figure 88) is an electromagnetic device which is used to
regulate the vacuum supply to the EGR valve. The solenoid contains a coil which magnetically
controls the position of a disc to regulate the vacuum. As the duty cycle to the coil increases, the
vacuum signal passed through the solenoid to the EGR valve also increases. Vacuum not directed
to the EGR valve is vented through the solenoid vent to atmosphere. Note that at 0% duty cycle (no
electrical signal applied), the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid allows some vacuum to pass, but not
enough to open the EGR valve.

ORIFICE TUBE ASSEMBLY
Orifice Tube Assembly
The orifice tube assembly (Figure 90) is a section of tubing connecting the exhaust system to the
intake manifold. The assembly provides the flow path for the EGR to the intake manifold and also
contains the metering orifice and two pressure pick-up tubes. The internal metering orifice creates
a measurable pressure drop across it as the EGR valve opens and closes. This pressure
differential across the orifice is picked up by the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor which
provides feedback to the PCM.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE
EGR Valve
Test Graph
The EGR valve (Figure 89) in the Differential Pressure Feedback EGR system is a conventional,
vacuum-actuated EGR valve. The valve increases or decreases the flow of exhaust gas
recirculation. As vacuum applied to the EGR valve diaphragm overcomes the spring force, the
valve begins to open. As the vacuum signal weakens, at 5.4 kPa (1.6 in-Hg) or less, the spring
force closes the valve. The EGR valve is fully open at about 15 kPa (4.5 in-Hg).
Since EGR flow requirement varies greatly, providing service specifications on flow rate is
impractical. The on-board diagnostic system monitors the EGR valve function and triggers a
Diagnostic Trouble Code if the test criteria is not met. The EGR valve flow rate is not measured
directly as part of the field diagnostic procedures.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Tube Mounted Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
TUBE MOUNTED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 86) is a ceramic, capacitive-type pressure
transducer that monitors the differential pressure across a metering orifice located in the orifice
tube assembly. The differential pressure feedback sensor receives this signal through two hoses
referred to as the downstream pressure hose (REF SIGNAL) and upstream pressure hose (HI
SIGNAL). The HI and REF hose connections are marked on the aluminum differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor housing for identification (note that the HI signal uses a larger diameter
hose). The differential pressure feedback EGR sensor outputs a voltage proportional to the
pressure drop across the metering orifice and supplies it to the PCM as EGR flow rate feedback.

Tube Mounted Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor
TUBE MOUNTED DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR
The tube mounted differential pressure feedback EGR sensor (Figure 87) is identical in operation
as the larger metal or plastic DPFE sensors and uses a 1.0 volt offset. The HI and REF hose
connections are marked on the underside of the sensor.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - General
Never clean an IAC valve. Carburetor cleaners and other cleaning agents may temporarily repair
the drivability concern, but the long-term functionality of the valve is compromised.
For all drivability concerns, make certain the service writer obtains as much information as possible
from the customer as to the conditions causing drivability concern. Attached is a drivability concern
check off sheet (Figure 2) that if used, can help reduce the time required to diagnose a vehicle.
NOTE
IF THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR AND MOVING THE
POSSIBILITY OF THE IAC VALVE CAUSING THIS IS UNLIKELY UNLESS IT OCCURRED ON
DECELERATION.
Use the following Supplemental information for 3.0L 4V Duratec Engines, in the Taurus/Sable, and
Lincoln LS.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88°C)
^ All accessories should be off steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
^ At stabilized engine speed (RPM) and temperature (hot idle) per the Powertrain Control Emission
Diagnostics (PC/ED) manual, verify the IAC duty cycle is within reference values called out in the
chart in this TSB.
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure that there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
Use the following Supplemental Information for the 3.9L Lincoln LS and Thunderbird.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed): > 03-3-5 >
Feb > 03 > Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start/Rough Idle > Page 4737
^ Engine idle at approximately 650 RPM
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and the engine cooling fan should be off
^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGRVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE are zero
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
NOTE
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE IAC DUTY CYCLE WHEN THE RPM IS AT 650
RPM. EVEN 700 RPM IS TOO HIGH FOR CHECKING the IAC VALVE DUTY CYCLE UNDER
THESE CONDITIONS. IF THE RPM IS OVER 650 RPM, MOMENTARILY OPENING AND
CLOSING THE THROTTLE AND A SHORT EQUILIBRATION TIME WILL LOWER THE RPM.
At stabilized engine speed and temperature, verify that the IAC duty cycle is between 27-36% with
no purge flow (EVAPV duty cycle is 0%).
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
NOTE
IF THE ORIGINAL IAC VALVE WAS WITHIN DUTY CYCLE SPECIFICATION OR THE DUTY
CYCLE REMAINS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS AFTER IAC VALVE REPLACEMENT FURTHER
DIAGNOSTICS ARE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE CUSTOMER CONCERN.
Use the following Supplemental Information for 4.0L SOHC Engines In the Ranger, Explorer,
Mountaineer, Explorer Sport and Explorer Sport Trac.
If no DTC's present check the following items in this order before examining the IAC valve:
^ BARO Hz reading - Refer to Barometric Pressure Chart listed in this TSB
^ Battery and fuse box power lead
^ Ground wire attachments
^ Wiring (wiggle test)
^ PCM voltage
^ Vacuum leaks
Examine AC valve under these conditions:
^ PCM updated to the latest available calibration
^ Transmission in park
^ Warm stabilized vehicle with engine temperature at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and cooling fan sh6uld be off

^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDC at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims (less than 15)
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Using either NGS or WDS bring up the following PIDS: IACTRIM, IACKAM2, IACKAM3.
2. Allow vehicle to idle until the IACTRIM PID is 0.
NOTE
IACTRIM ALWAYS TRIES TO GO TO 0. WHEN MOVING TOWARDS 0, THE IACKAM2 PID
SHOULD BE CHANGING. IF IACKAM3 IS CHANGING, THEN THE AIR CONDITIONING
SHOULD BE TURNED OFF.
3. If IACKAM2 is between -0.35 and +0.35 with IACTRIM=0, then the valve is operating properly at
idle. The remainder of this TSB will help diagnose true root cause.
4. If IACKAM2 is not between -0.35 and +0.35, it is highly likely that the engine idle system (to
include the throttle body and air intake system) -is not operating properly.
NOTE
FOR ALL VEHICLES PLEASE RECORD THE OBSERVED IAC DUTY CYCLE AND ENGINE RPM
IN THE WARRANTY CLAIMS COMMENTS FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1506 (IAC Over Speed Error) and other High Idle Concerns:
^ There are two primary causes of high idle:
1. Damaged IAC valves and
2. Vacuum leaks
^ AC valves can be damaged from engine induction backfires. Many times the customer may not
notice the induction backfire but will notice the high idle afterwards. Indications of valve damage
can be a shiny, almost polished appearance in the interior of the valve and a dislocated
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed) >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed): > 03-3-5 >
Feb > 03 > Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start/Rough Idle > Page 4739
pintle. An IAC valve damaged by backfire should be replaced. Refer to Figure 1.
^ Inspect PCV system for leaks especially looking for cracks along any rubber elbow joints; also
verify that the correct PCV valve is installed.
^ Inspect for vacuum hoses loose or disconnected from intended ports and connections. Induction
backfire can loosen or disconnect vacuum hoses.
^ Two indicators can help you identify if a vacuum leak is present, even if the engine RPM appear
normal in the service bay. If the duty cycle is below specification that is indicative that the engine is
receiving too much air (from a vacuum leak) and the PCM is ordering the valve to close up to
restrict flow. Another indication is fuel trim. Record the long term and short term fuel trim PIDS
(LONGFT1, LONGFT2, SHORTFT1, etc.), if short term fuel trims are high (above specification) this
is a possible indication of a vacuum leak, making the engine run lean, and the PCM is attempting to
compensate.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1507 (IAC Under Speed Error) and Other Low Idle
Concerns:
^ An under speed error may not necessarily be a fault with the IAC valve. A large friction load on
the engine or obstruction in the air intake system could also reduce the engine RPMs.
^ There are four possible sources of friction load that can contribute to under speed error or low
idle concerns.
1. Power Steering Load
2. Air Conditioning Load
3. Electrical Load
4. Automatic Transmission Torque Converter Load
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Rough Idle
Concerns:
^ Rough idle concerns are often a result of a lean running condition
^ Another possible cause is contamination build up on the MAF sensor
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Engine Hard Start/Engine Crank-No Start
^ While performing diagnostics, the technician should ensure that the fuel system is working
correctly for all engines with hard start/crank no-start complaints.
^ When diagnosing a mechanical return less fuel system, the following correction to the PC/ED
pinpoint HC (4) diagnostic procedure should be used when performing the KEOE fuel pressure
test:
^ Perform the KOEO fuel pressure test as specific in the PC/ED manual.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off no more than 10 psi from maximum pressure (no lower than 55
psi for a 65 psi max system or no lower than 45 psi for a 55 psi max system) within 5 minutes of the
start of the test.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off to no less than 30 psi within 30 minutes of the start of the test.
^ For greatest accuracy, the service technician should read the fuel pressure as soon as possible
after pump shut off, no more than 5 minutes after the start of the test.
NOTE
RETURNABLE AND ELECTRONIC RETURN LESS SYSTEMS SHOULD ALSO BE DIAGNOSED
USING THE PROCEDURES LISTED FOR THEM IN PINPOINT TEST HC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - High Idle RPM at Start Up:
^ Most engines will have a temporary high idle at engine start up to allow for catalyst light off. If
DTC 1506 is not present, this indicates that there is no fault present with the IAC.
^ A vehicle with very low odometer miles, may exhibit a higher than normal temporary startup fast
idle (1600-2500 RPM that decreases slowly). No

repairs should be attempted because this is a normal temporary PCM calibration strategy to
prevent spark plug fouling during plant/transportation operation. The calibration will permanently
revert to its normal strategy after the PCM has seen its first 4 miles of continuous drive cycle. A
brand new vehicle may accumulate some mileage without turning this strategy off if the drive cycle
has been below 4 miles at a time.

ISSUE
Some vehicles, may exhibit drivability conditions.
These may include:
^ No start Difficult to start Stall
^ Low idle
^ Rough idle
^ High idle
^ Hesitation/surge while accelerating or at steady speed
These conditions may be intermittent with no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and no Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL). In some cases DTC and MIL may be evident.
ACTION
Trouble cannot be identified with 95% of returned Idle Air Control (IAC) valves. The following
procedure is supplemental information to normal diagnostics to facilitate accurate identification of
malfunctioning valves. These symptoms would include engine stall, hard start, crank/no start, idling
problems, and Idle Speed Control System related DTC's.

IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - General
Never clean an IAC valve. Carburetor cleaners and other cleaning agents may temporarily repair
the drivability concern, but the long-term functionality of the valve is compromised.
For all drivability concerns, make certain the service writer obtains as much information as possible
from the customer as to the conditions causing drivability concern. Attached is a drivability concern
check off sheet (Figure 2) that if used, can help reduce the time required to diagnose a vehicle.
NOTE
IF THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR AND MOVING THE
POSSIBILITY OF THE IAC VALVE CAUSING THIS IS UNLIKELY UNLESS IT OCCURRED ON
DECELERATION.
Use the following Supplemental information for 3.0L 4V Duratec Engines, in the Taurus/Sable, and
Lincoln LS.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88°C)
^ All accessories should be off steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
^ At stabilized engine speed (RPM) and temperature (hot idle) per the Powertrain Control Emission
Diagnostics (PC/ED) manual, verify the IAC duty cycle is within reference values called out in the
chart in this TSB.
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure that there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
Use the following Supplemental Information for the 3.9L Lincoln LS and Thunderbird.
1. Use the following conditions for the test described below:
^ Transmission in park

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed): >
03-3-5 > Feb > 03 > Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start/Rough Idle > Page 4749
^ Engine idle at approximately 650 RPM
^ Engine temperature should be at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and the engine cooling fan should be off
^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGRVR and EVAPDUTY CYCLE are zero
^ Short and long term fuel trims less than 15%
NOTE
IT IS USUAL TO SEE THE IAC DUTY CYCLE VARY BY 1% TO 2% OVER SEVERAL MINUTES.
NOTE
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THE IAC DUTY CYCLE WHEN THE RPM IS AT 650
RPM. EVEN 700 RPM IS TOO HIGH FOR CHECKING the IAC VALVE DUTY CYCLE UNDER
THESE CONDITIONS. IF THE RPM IS OVER 650 RPM, MOMENTARILY OPENING AND
CLOSING THE THROTTLE AND A SHORT EQUILIBRATION TIME WILL LOWER THE RPM.
At stabilized engine speed and temperature, verify that the IAC duty cycle is between 27-36% with
no purge flow (EVAPV duty cycle is 0%).
If the Duty Cycle is out of specification, proceed with the following steps:
1. Ensure there is no purge flow.
2. Verify PCM harness integrity by performing a wiggle test on the harness while the engine is
running and observe the IAC duty cycle and engine performance. Should abnormalities be
observed, repair the harness as required.
3. For an IAC duty cycle high concern, unplug and plug in the IAC power connector several times.
If the duty cycle remains high, replace IAC valve.
4. For an IAC duty cycle low concern, there may be an intake air leak. See the below IAC
diagnostic service tip for DTC 1506 and other high idle concerns.
NOTE
IF THE ORIGINAL IAC VALVE WAS WITHIN DUTY CYCLE SPECIFICATION OR THE DUTY
CYCLE REMAINS OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS AFTER IAC VALVE REPLACEMENT FURTHER
DIAGNOSTICS ARE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE CUSTOMER CONCERN.
Use the following Supplemental Information for 4.0L SOHC Engines In the Ranger, Explorer,
Mountaineer, Explorer Sport and Explorer Sport Trac.
If no DTC's present check the following items in this order before examining the IAC valve:
^ BARO Hz reading - Refer to Barometric Pressure Chart listed in this TSB
^ Battery and fuse box power lead
^ Ground wire attachments
^ Wiring (wiggle test)
^ PCM voltage
^ Vacuum leaks
Examine AC valve under these conditions:
^ PCM updated to the latest available calibration
^ Transmission in park
^ Warm stabilized vehicle with engine temperature at least 190° F (88° C)
^ All accessories and cooling fan sh6uld be off

^ Steering wheel in the center position
^ EGVR and EVAPDC at zero, if the vehicle has an EGR system
^ Short and long term fuel trims (less than 15)
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Using either NGS or WDS bring up the following PIDS: IACTRIM, IACKAM2, IACKAM3.
2. Allow vehicle to idle until the IACTRIM PID is 0.
NOTE
IACTRIM ALWAYS TRIES TO GO TO 0. WHEN MOVING TOWARDS 0, THE IACKAM2 PID
SHOULD BE CHANGING. IF IACKAM3 IS CHANGING, THEN THE AIR CONDITIONING
SHOULD BE TURNED OFF.
3. If IACKAM2 is between -0.35 and +0.35 with IACTRIM=0, then the valve is operating properly at
idle. The remainder of this TSB will help diagnose true root cause.
4. If IACKAM2 is not between -0.35 and +0.35, it is highly likely that the engine idle system (to
include the throttle body and air intake system) -is not operating properly.
NOTE
FOR ALL VEHICLES PLEASE RECORD THE OBSERVED IAC DUTY CYCLE AND ENGINE RPM
IN THE WARRANTY CLAIMS COMMENTS FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1506 (IAC Over Speed Error) and other High Idle Concerns:
^ There are two primary causes of high idle:
1. Damaged IAC valves and
2. Vacuum leaks
^ AC valves can be damaged from engine induction backfires. Many times the customer may not
notice the induction backfire but will notice the high idle afterwards. Indications of valve damage
can be a shiny, almost polished appearance in the interior of the valve and a dislocated
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed) >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Auxiliary Air Valve (Idle Speed): >
03-3-5 > Feb > 03 > Engine Controls - No Start/Hard Start/Rough Idle > Page 4751
pintle. An IAC valve damaged by backfire should be replaced. Refer to Figure 1.
^ Inspect PCV system for leaks especially looking for cracks along any rubber elbow joints; also
verify that the correct PCV valve is installed.
^ Inspect for vacuum hoses loose or disconnected from intended ports and connections. Induction
backfire can loosen or disconnect vacuum hoses.
^ Two indicators can help you identify if a vacuum leak is present, even if the engine RPM appear
normal in the service bay. If the duty cycle is below specification that is indicative that the engine is
receiving too much air (from a vacuum leak) and the PCM is ordering the valve to close up to
restrict flow. Another indication is fuel trim. Record the long term and short term fuel trim PIDS
(LONGFT1, LONGFT2, SHORTFT1, etc.), if short term fuel trims are high (above specification) this
is a possible indication of a vacuum leak, making the engine run lean, and the PCM is attempting to
compensate.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - DTC 1507 (IAC Under Speed Error) and Other Low Idle
Concerns:
^ An under speed error may not necessarily be a fault with the IAC valve. A large friction load on
the engine or obstruction in the air intake system could also reduce the engine RPMs.
^ There are four possible sources of friction load that can contribute to under speed error or low
idle concerns.
1. Power Steering Load
2. Air Conditioning Load
3. Electrical Load
4. Automatic Transmission Torque Converter Load
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Rough Idle
Concerns:
^ Rough idle concerns are often a result of a lean running condition
^ Another possible cause is contamination build up on the MAF sensor
EAC Diagnostic Service Tips - Engine Hard Start/Engine Crank-No Start
^ While performing diagnostics, the technician should ensure that the fuel system is working
correctly for all engines with hard start/crank no-start complaints.
^ When diagnosing a mechanical return less fuel system, the following correction to the PC/ED
pinpoint HC (4) diagnostic procedure should be used when performing the KEOE fuel pressure
test:
^ Perform the KOEO fuel pressure test as specific in the PC/ED manual.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off no more than 10 psi from maximum pressure (no lower than 55
psi for a 65 psi max system or no lower than 45 psi for a 55 psi max system) within 5 minutes of the
start of the test.
^ The fuel pressure should drop off to no less than 30 psi within 30 minutes of the start of the test.
^ For greatest accuracy, the service technician should read the fuel pressure as soon as possible
after pump shut off, no more than 5 minutes after the start of the test.
NOTE
RETURNABLE AND ELECTRONIC RETURN LESS SYSTEMS SHOULD ALSO BE DIAGNOSED
USING THE PROCEDURES LISTED FOR THEM IN PINPOINT TEST HC.
IAC Diagnostic Service Tips - High Idle RPM at Start Up:
^ Most engines will have a temporary high idle at engine start up to allow for catalyst light off. If
DTC 1506 is not present, this indicates that there is no fault present with the IAC.
^ A vehicle with very low odometer miles, may exhibit a higher than normal temporary startup fast
idle (1600-2500 RPM that decreases slowly). No

repairs should be attempted because this is a normal temporary PCM calibration strategy to
prevent spark plug fouling during plant/transportation operation. The calibration will permanently
revert to its normal strategy after the PCM has seen its first 4 miles of continuous drive cycle. A
brand new vehicle may accumulate some mileage without turning this strategy off if the drive cycle
has been below 4 miles at a time.

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

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

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

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

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

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 31) is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which
resistance changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as
pressure increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the
voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding
to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 32) senses the pressure difference between the fuel
rail and the intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel
system. The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature
provides an indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature
feedback signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump
sustains fuel rail pressure which preserve fuel in its liquid state. The dynamic range of the fuel
injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the injector pulse width to
decrease.

FUEL RAIL PULSE DAMPER
Pulse Damper
The fuel rail pulse damper (Figure 71) located on the fuel rail reduces 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 in the event the pulse damper diaphragm were to rupture. (The pulse
damper should not be confused with a fuel pressure regulator, it does not regulate fuel rail
pressure.)

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

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

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

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins: > 03-20-3 > Oct > 03 > Emissions MIL ON/DTC's Stored/Check Fuel Cap Lamp ON > Page 4880
4. Connect the transparent air supply hose nozzle tip into the EVAP Service Test Port adapter.
5. Use NGS or WDS Diagnostic tool to CLOSE the CVS.
6. Depress the remote starter button on the Rotunda's Smoke Leak Detector. The indicator ball in
the flowmeter will go all the way to the top indicating the system is being pressurized. Continue to
depress the remote starter button until the ball stops descending. Once the indicator ball has
stopped descending, observe if it is above or below the red indicator flag. If performing this
verification following a repair, go to Step 7. If performing this verification after performing the
SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE), go to Step 8.
7. Leak Verification After Repair
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed. The test procedure is
complete. Remove the Smoke Machine Test equipment from the vehicle and reconnect the large
EVAP Canister Purge Valve manifold vacuum hose and the test port's green cap.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
8. Leak Verification After Passing SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST PROCEDURE)
a. If the measurement is below the indicator flag the system has passed, go to Step 9.
b. If the measurement is above the indicator flag, repeat SYSTEM LEAK CHECK (SMOKE TEST
PROCEDURE).
9. Using WDS Datalogger or NGS select the FTPV PID.
10. Remove Fuel Cap and turn the vehicle's ignition switch to the run position and check the FTPV
PID.
11. The nominal value for the FTPV PID is 2.6V. If the value is greater than 2.8V or less than 2.4V,
the FTP sensor is out of range and should be replaced. Verify the repair by checking to see if the
new sensor is in range. For all except Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus - if the sensor is
within range, the concern is no longer present. (Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus go to
Step 12.)
12. For Windstar, LS, Thunderbird & PZEV Focus only verify that filler neck clamps are in good
working order and tightened. Repair as necessary. If no problem is found with clamps, replace the
fuel cap.

Idle Air Control Valve: Description and Operation
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE
Nippondenso Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly With Vent/Filter
The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly (Figure 117) and (Figure 118) controls engine idle speed
and provides a dashpot function. The IAC valve assembly meters intake air around the throttle
plate through a bypass within the IAC valve assembly and throttle body. The PCM determines the
desired idle speed or bypass air and signals the IAC valve assembly through a specified duty cycle.
The IAC valve responds by positioning the IAC valve to control the amount of bypassed air. The
PCM monitors engine rpm and increases or decreases the IAC duty cycle in order to achieve the
desired rpm.

Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic] > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 4928
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly With Air-Assist Injectors
On applications with air-assisted injectors, the IAC valve (Figure 119) also supplies a small amount
of air into the path of the fuel injectors. The jet of air causes an increase in fuel atomization at low
speed and light load conditions.
NOTE: The IAC Valve Assembly is NOT ADJUSTABLE and CANNOT BE CLEANED.
The IAC valve (part of throttle body assembly) has an internal diode on some applications. If the
internal diode is measured in crossed terminal position with a digital multimeter, there will be an
incorrect or negative reading. It is important that the mating component and harness connectors
correctly oriented. Diagnostic procedures emphasize this importance.
The PCM uses the IAC valve assembly to control:
^ No touch start
^ Cold engine fast idle for rapid warm-up
^ Idle (corrects for engine load)
^ Stumble or stalling on deceleration (provides a dashpot function)
^ Over-temperature idle boost.
^ Air Assist to Injectors.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch (Figure 72) is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump.
The purpose of the IFS switch is to shut off the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel
ball held in place by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the
magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the
switch and shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the Owner Guide for the location of the IFS.

Page 4964
Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR
Typical Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air
entering the engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at
200°C (392°F) above ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire (Figure 36). If the
hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced, then the entire assembly must be replaced.
Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.
The current required to maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the air mass flow.
The MAF sensor then outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air
mass. The PCM calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired
air/fuel ratio (Figure 37). This input is also used in determining transmission Electronic Pressure
Control (EPC), shift and torque converter clutch scheduling.
Some MAF sensors have Integrated Bypass Technology (IBT) with an integrated Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) sensor. The present applications with IBT are: Focus, Escort (4V), 2.0L Cougar,
Escape, Taurus/Sable, Windstar, Explorer/Mountaineer and E-Series.
The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 31) is a diaphragm strain gauge device in which
resistance changes with pressure. The electrical resistance of a strain gauge increases as
pressure increases, and decreases as pressure decreases. The varying resistance affects the
voltage drop across the sensor terminals and provides electrical signals to the PCM corresponding
to pressure.
Strain gauge type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a
voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow.
Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in series with the sensor resistor determines the
voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage
drop across the fixed resistor.
The FRP sensor measures the pressure of the fuel near the fuel injectors. This signal is used by
the PCM to adjust the fuel injector pulse width and meter fuel to each engine combustion cylinder.
Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) Sensor
The Fuel Rail Pressure (FRP) sensor (Figure 32) senses the pressure difference between the fuel
rail and the intake manifold. The return fuel line to the fuel tank has been deleted in this type of fuel
system. The differential fuel/intake manifold pressure together with measured fuel temperature
provides an indication of the fuel vapors in the fuel rail. Both differential pressure and temperature
feedback signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The speed of the fuel pump
sustains fuel rail pressure which preserve fuel in its liquid state. The dynamic range of the fuel
injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the injector pulse width to
decrease.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch
The Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch (Figure 72) is used in conjunction with the electric fuel pump.
The purpose of the IFS switch is to shut off the fuel pump if a collision occurs. It consists of a steel
ball held in place by a magnet. When a sharp impact occurs, the ball breaks loose from the
magnet, rolls up a conical ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the electrical contacts of the
switch and shuts off the electric fuel pump. Once the switch is open, it must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle. Refer to the Owner Guide for the location of the IFS.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
Typical Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor (Figure 42) is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a
signal to the PCM that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing
has a three-blade electrical connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases
corrosion resistance on terminals and increases connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on
the throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, four operating conditions are
determined by the PCM from the TP. Those conditions are closed throttle (includes idle or
deceleration), part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration), wide open throttle (includes
maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank), and throttle angle rate.

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

Throttle Body: Description and Operation Throttle Body System Overview
THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The throttle body system meters air to the engine during idle, part throttle, and Wide Open Throttle
(WOT) conditions. The throttle body system consists of an Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly,
idle air orifice, single or dual bores with butterfly valve throttle plates and a Throttle Position (TP)
sensor. One other source of idle air flow is the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system. The
combined idle air flow (from idle air orifice IAC flow and PCV flow) is measured by the MAF sensor
on all applications.
During idle, the throttle body assembly provides a set amount of air flow to the engine through the
idle air passage and PCV valve. The IAC valve assembly provides additional air when commanded
by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to maintain the proper engine idle speed under varying
conditions. The IAC valve assembly mounts directly to the throttle body assembly in most
applications, but is remote-mounted to the intake manifold in some applications. Idle speed is
controlled by the PCM and cannot be adjusted.
NOTE: The traditional idle air adjust procedure as well as throttle return screw are no longer used
on OBD II applications.
Throttle rotation is controlled by a cam/cable linkage to slow the initial opening rate of the throttle
plate. The TP sensor monitors throttle position and provides an electrical signal to the PCM. Some
throttle body applications provide an air supply channel upstream of the throttle plate to provide
fresh air to the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) or IAC systems. Other throttle body
applications provide individual vacuum taps downstream of the throttle plate for PCV return,
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), Evaporative Emission (EVAP), and miscellaneous control
signals.
Throttle Body System Hardware
The major components of the throttle body assembly include the TP sensor, IAC valve assembly,
and throttle body housing assembly.
Throttle Position Sensor
The TP sensor monitors throttle position and provides an electrical signal to the PCM. It is
monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system for component integrity, system
functionality, and faults that can cause emissions levels to exceed standards set in government
regulations. For additional information on the TP sensor, refer to Electronic EC System
Hardware-PCM Inputs.

Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly With Vent/Filter
The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly (Figure 117) and (Figure 118) controls engine idle speed
and provides a dashpot function. The IAC valve assembly meters intake air around the throttle
plate through a bypass within the IAC valve assembly and throttle body. The PCM determines the
desired idle speed or bypass air and signals the IAC valve assembly through a specified duty cycle.
The IAC valve responds by positioning the IAC valve to control the amount of bypassed air. The
PCM monitors engine rpm and increases or decreases the IAC duty cycle in order to achieve the
desired rpm.
Hitachi Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve Assembly With Air-Assist Injectors
On applications with air-assisted injectors, the IAC valve (Figure 119) also supplies a small amount
of air into the path of the fuel injectors. The jet of air causes an increase in fuel atomization at low
speed and light load conditions.
NOTE: The IAC Valve Assembly is NOT ADJUSTABLE and CANNOT BE CLEANED.
The IAC valve (part of throttle body assembly) has an internal diode on some applications. If the
internal diode is measured in crossed terminal position with a digital multimeter, there will be an
incorrect or negative reading. It is important that the mating component and harness connectors
correctly oriented. Diagnostic procedures emphasize this importance.
The PCM uses the IAC valve assembly to control:
^ No touch start

^ Cold engine fast idle for rapid warm-up
^ Idle (corrects for engine load)
^ Stumble or stalling on deceleration (provides a dashpot function)
^ Over-temperature idle boost.
^ Air Assist to Injectors.
Throttle Body Housing
The throttle body housing assembly is a single piece of aluminum casting with an air passage and
a butterfly throttle plate with linkage mechanisms. When the throttle plate is in the idle (or closed)
position, the throttle lever arm should be in contact with the Throttle Return Stop. The throttle return
stop prevents the throttle plate from contacting the bore and sticking closed. The setting also
establishes the amount of air flow between the throttle plate and bore. To minimize the closed plate
air flow, a special coating is applied to the throttle plate and bore to help seal this area. This
sealant/coating also makes the throttle body resistant to engine intake sludge accumulation.
Typical Attention Decal Locations
Features of the Throttle Body Assembly include:
1. Idle Air Control (IAC) valve assembly mounted directly to the throttle body assembly (some
vehicles). 2. A pre-set stop to locate the WOT position. 3. An air supply channel upstream of the
throttle plate to provide fresh air to the PCV system (some vehicles only). 4. Individual vacuum taps
for PCV, EGR, Evaporative Emission (EVAP) and miscellaneous control signals (some vehicles
only). 5. PCV air return (it applicable). 6. A throttle body-mounted Throttle Position (TP) sensor. 7.
A sealant/coating on the throttle bore and throttle plate makes the throttle body air flow tolerant to
engine intake sludge accumulation. These
throttle body assemblies MUST NOT BE CLEANED and have a white/black attention decal (Figure
116) advising not to clean.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

Series 5 Four Tower Coil Pack
Coil packs come in four tower, Series 5 four tower, six-tower horizontal connector and Series 5 Six
tower models. Two adjacent coil towers share a common coil and are called a matched pair. For
six-tower coil pack (six cylinder) applications the matched pairs are 1 and 5, 2 and 6, and 3 and 4
(Figure 56)and (Figure 57). For four-tower coil pack (four cylinder) applications the matched pairs
are 1 and 4, and 2 and 3 (Figure 58) and (Figure 59).
When the coil is fired by the PCM, spark is delivered through the matched pair towers to their
respective spark plugs. The spark plugs are fired simultaneously and are paired so that as one fires
on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil
is fired the situation is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing
order.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor
identifies when piston No.1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and used for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors. The Coil
On Plug (COP) Ignition applications also use the CMP signal to select the proper ignition coil to
fire. The input circuit to the PCM is referred to as the CMP input or circuit.
Typical Hall-Effect Sensor
Typical Variable Reluctance Sensor
There are two types of CMP sensors: the three pin connector Hall-effect type sensor (Figure 22)
and the two pin connector variable reluctance sensor (Figure 23).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (INTEGRATED IGNITION SYSTEMS)
Three Different Types Of Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensors
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine block
adjacent to a pulse wheel located on the crankshaft. By monitoring the crankshaft mounted pulse
wheel, the CKP is the primary sensor for ignition information to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The trigger wheel has a total of 35 teeth spaced 10 degrees apart with one empty space for
a missing tooth. The 6.8L ten cylinder pulse wheel has 39 teeth spaced 9 degrees apart and one 9
degree empty space for a missing tooth. By monitoring the trigger wheel, the CKP indicates
crankshaft position and speed information to the PCM. By monitoring the missing tooth, the CKP is
also able to identify piston travel in order to synchronize the ignition system and provide a way of
tracking the angular position of the crankshaft relative to fixed reference (Figure 25).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5119
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Diagnostic Aids
These 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.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation
Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid
The electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid is a variable force style (VFS) solenoid. The VFS
type solenoid is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The powertrain control module (PCM) varies the current to the EPC solenoid.
This action causes the solenoid to regulate transmission line pressure and line modulator pressure.
This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and line modulator circuits. These
two solenoids control clutch application pressures.
NOTE: Transmissions with identification tag IL5P-DA or IL5P-EA only, will have adaptive shift
strategy.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transmission which will
automatically adjust the shift feel. When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery
installed, certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The PCM must relearn these
parameters. During this learning process you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early
shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission.
Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5191
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5194
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5245
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5248
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
These 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 Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5274
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5277
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a thermistor-type sensor that varies a reference
voltage signal. The resistance in the TFT varies with temperature. The powertrain control module
(PCM) monitors the voltage signal across the TFT, and uses this information to determine the
transmission fluid temperature.
The TFT is located on the main control body wiring harness assembly.
The PCM uses the TFT signal to help determine shift scheduling, torque converter clutch operation
and electronic pressure control (EPC).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

STEERING SHUDDER DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS - 4.0L ENGINE
FORD: 2001-2003 Explorer Sport 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac
This article supersedes TSB 04-2-7 to update the vehicle model years and service procedure.
ISSUE Some 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified through the steering system. The
condition will vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel
turning speed.
ACTION As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the
VEHICLE BUILD DATE and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service
Procedure. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering system after
replacement/installation of parts.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
BEFORE REPLACING ANY COMPONENT, BE SURE TO CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT
INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION AND NOISE.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. FILL AND PURGE THE P/S SYSTEM
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES CALLED OUT IN THE ON-LINE WORKSHOP MANUAL,
SECTION 211-00. FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE WILL REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO CORRECT THE SHUDDER.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the power steering pump with a new high displacement pump (5L2Z-3A674-CA). Refer
to Workshop Manual, Section 211-02.
2. Replace the cooler assembly with service part F77Z-3D746-GA. Do not remove the existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) it will be reused to ease installation. Attach
a clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid loss during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the new return line from the new cooler and connect the new cooler fin pack to the existing return
line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for
complete replacement instructions.
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT
ATTACH A CLAMP TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE AS IT MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the COOLER RETURN
LINE to reduce fluid loss from the gear during removal of the pressure line. Loosen the nut
securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the gear. REPLACE
THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT. USE ROTUNDA
TOOL 211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER METHOD OF
INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.

FORD: 2001-2003 EXPLORER SPORT 2001-2004 EXPLORER SPORT TRAC
This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

Turns or When Stopped > Page 5335
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

IF COMMUNICATION STILL CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED, VOLTAGE DROP PCM POWERS,
GROUNDS, AND CHECK VREF.
PCM REPLACEMENT - STANDARD
1. Open WDS vehicle session with original PCM installed in vehicle. If the original PCM is not able
to communicate, to open a session, proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
2. Install the new PCM.
NOTE
IF WDS NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WHILE THE NEW PCM IS BEING
INSTALLED, PLACE THE VEHICLE SESSION ON "HOLD" FOR USE LATER.
3. Attempt to start the vehicle.
4. Run KOEO Self Test to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in PCM.
5. Check for DTC P0602/P0605/P1639.
a. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is present then Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure
must be performed. Use the WDS session opened at Step 1.
b. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is not present, then verify Programmable Parameters are properly
set such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
6. Check for DTC B2900.
a. If DTC B2900 is present, perform PMI on the ABS module. Do Not replace ABS module for this
procedure when directed. You may be prompted to enter the 9 lines of PCM As-Built data during
this procedure.
b. If DTC B2900 is not present proceed to Step 7.
7. Diagnose all other DTCs following normal diagnostic procedures.

FORD: 2001-2003 EXPLORER SPORT 2001-2004 EXPLORER SPORT TRAC
This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
7. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more thorough
air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and stand
outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching the
reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.

STEERING SHUDDER DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS - 4.0L ENGINE
FORD: 2001-2003 Explorer Sport 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac
This article supersedes TSB 04-2-7 to update the vehicle model years and service procedure.
ISSUE Some 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified through the steering system. The
condition will vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel
turning speed.
ACTION As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the
VEHICLE BUILD DATE and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service
Procedure. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering system after
replacement/installation of parts.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
BEFORE REPLACING ANY COMPONENT, BE SURE TO CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT
INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION AND NOISE.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. FILL AND PURGE THE P/S SYSTEM
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES CALLED OUT IN THE ON-LINE WORKSHOP MANUAL,
SECTION 211-00. FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE WILL REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO CORRECT THE SHUDDER.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001

to Workshop Manual, Section 211-02.
2. Replace the cooler assembly with service part F77Z-3D746-GA. Do not remove the existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) it will be reused to ease installation. Attach
a clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid loss during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the new return line from the new cooler and connect the new cooler fin pack to the existing return
line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for
complete replacement instructions.
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT
ATTACH A CLAMP TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE AS IT MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the COOLER RETURN
LINE to reduce fluid loss from the gear during removal of the pressure line. Loosen the nut
securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the gear. REPLACE
THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT. USE ROTUNDA

This article supersedes TSB 04-21-07 to update the service procedure and to clarify this TSB
applies to all powertrain control module (PCM) reprogramming, with or without PCM replacement.
ISSUE PCMs may need to be reprogrammed or replaced as part of a repair. Additional vehicle
concerns may be caused if proper programming procedures are not followed.
ACTION Use the following procedure to reprogram PCMs.
Verify repair after reprogramming.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PRELIMINARY STEPS - Existing PCM
Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
1. Connect a battery charger to vehicle.
2. Use WDS if available.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > PROM - Programmable Read Only Memory > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for PROM - Programmable Read Only Memory: >
04-24-14 > Dec > 04 > Engine Controls - General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 5388
a. Make sure WDS is docked or attached to vehicle battery supply.
b. Verify WDS software is at the latest release level.
3. If there is a communication error, attempt to communicate with a different diagnostic scan tool,
such as NGS, NGS+, VCM or another WDS.
NOTE
IF COMMUNICATION STILL CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED, VOLTAGE DROP PCM POWERS,
GROUNDS, AND CHECK VREF.
PCM REPLACEMENT - STANDARD
1. Open WDS vehicle session with original PCM installed in vehicle. If the original PCM is not able
to communicate, to open a session, proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
2. Install the new PCM.
NOTE
IF WDS NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WHILE THE NEW PCM IS BEING
INSTALLED, PLACE THE VEHICLE SESSION ON "HOLD" FOR USE LATER.
3. Attempt to start the vehicle.
4. Run KOEO Self Test to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in PCM.
5. Check for DTC P0602/P0605/P1639.
a. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is present then Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure
must be performed. Use the WDS session opened at Step 1.
b. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is not present, then verify Programmable Parameters are properly
set such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
6. Check for DTC B2900.
a. If DTC B2900 is present, perform PMI on the ABS module. Do Not replace ABS module for this
procedure when directed. You may be prompted to enter the 9 lines of PCM As-Built data during
this procedure.
b. If DTC B2900 is not present proceed to Step 7.
7. Diagnose all other DTCs following normal diagnostic procedures.
REPROGRAMMING DOES NOT COMPLETE OR FAILS - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM
Replacement
1. Verify all cables are properly connected.
2. Verify vehicle battery is at proper charge level.
3. Verify scan tool battery is at proper charge level.
4. Attempt reprogramming procedure again.
5. If reprogramming still does not complete properly, save current session, reboot WDS, open
previous session, and attempt reprogramming again.
6. If reprogramming still does not complete or you are now unable to communicate with PCM,
proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
BLANK PATH PROGRAMMING - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
Perform this procedure prior to PCM replacement if a vehicle comes in with a PCM that will not
communicate, or if steps earlier in this TSB directed you to this procedure.
1. Verify powers and grounds to PCM by loading and voltage drop testing circuits.
2. Follow Pin Point Tests to verify network integrity.
NOTE
IGNITION MUST REMAIN IN THE OFF POSITION UNTIL PERFORMING STEP 8. DO NOT
TURN THE KEY ON WHEN WDS IS

Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Diagnostic Aids
These 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.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation
Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid
The electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid is a variable force style (VFS) solenoid. The VFS
type solenoid is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The powertrain control module (PCM) varies the current to the EPC solenoid.
This action causes the solenoid to regulate transmission line pressure and line modulator pressure.
This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and line modulator circuits. These
two solenoids control clutch application pressures.
NOTE: Transmissions with identification tag IL5P-DA or IL5P-EA only, will have adaptive shift
strategy.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transmission which will
automatically adjust the shift feel. When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery
installed, certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The PCM must relearn these
parameters. During this learning process you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early
shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission.
Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Page 5537
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation
Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid
The electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid is a variable force style (VFS) solenoid. The VFS
type solenoid is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The powertrain control module (PCM) varies the current to the EPC solenoid.
This action causes the solenoid to regulate transmission line pressure and line modulator pressure.
This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and line modulator circuits. These
two solenoids control clutch application pressures.
NOTE: Transmissions with identification tag IL5P-DA or IL5P-EA only, will have adaptive shift
strategy.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transmission which will
automatically adjust the shift feel. When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery
installed, certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The PCM must relearn these
parameters. During this learning process you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early
shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission.
Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
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 5573
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

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 5576
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

> Page 5606
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and Solenoids A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions
> Page 5609
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

suitable flush and fill machine to change the fluid. 3. When connecting the flush and fill machine,
connect the machine to the fluid cooler tube after the fluid cooler on the cooler return tube. This will
help remove any foreign material trapped in the fluid coolers.
4. Carry out the fluid exchange process.
Refill
1. Use only clean automatic transmission fluid. 2. Once the fluid exchange has been completed,
disconnect the flush and fill machine. Reconnect any disconnected fluid cooler tubes. 3. Lower the
vehicle. 4. With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C
(150-170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level
and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24 liter (0.5 pint) until the
correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator).

of the transmission. This TSB is being published as informational only in order to avoid mix I match
of incorrect service parts which will cause a fluid leak. Beginning with 8/29/2006 production, the
5R44E or 5R55E automatic transmission will have a new transmission case, fluid pan, a
REUSABLE fluid pan gasket and new fluid pan screws.
ACTION Follow the Service Tips.
SERVICE TIPS
NOTE
DO NOT MIX AND MATCH PARTS OR LEAKAGE WILL OCCUR.
NOTE
THE NEW PAN GASKET IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GASKET AND SEAL KIT. IT CAN ONLY BE
ORDERED SEPARATELY.
The 5R44E / 5R55E transmission pan gasket has been redesigned to be reusable if it is removed
for a non-leak related transmission service concern. The gasket should be inspected for damage
and cleaned, along with the mating surfaces, before reuse. The case and fluid pan rails have been
redesigned to properly mate with the new gasket to eliminate fluid leaks. The new case, pan, and
gasket maybe used to service past model transmissions from 1997.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Pressure Regulating
Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5755
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5758
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation
Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid
The electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid is a variable force style (VFS) solenoid. The VFS
type solenoid is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The powertrain control module (PCM) varies the current to the EPC solenoid.
This action causes the solenoid to regulate transmission line pressure and line modulator pressure.
This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and line modulator circuits. These
two solenoids control clutch application pressures.
NOTE: Transmissions with identification tag IL5P-DA or IL5P-EA only, will have adaptive shift
strategy.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transmission which will
automatically adjust the shift feel. When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery
installed, certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The PCM must relearn these
parameters. During this learning process you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early
shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission.
Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
These 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 Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Instructions > Page 5844
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagnostic Aids
These 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: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a thermistor-type sensor that varies a reference
voltage signal. The resistance in the TFT varies with temperature. The powertrain control module
(PCM) monitors the voltage signal across the TFT, and uses this information to determine the
transmission fluid temperature.
The TFT is located on the main control body wiring harness assembly.
The PCM uses the TFT signal to help determine shift scheduling, torque converter clutch operation
and electronic pressure control (EPC).

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5928
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5931
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

ISSUE The number one cause for repeat transmission repairs is that contamination from the
transmission cooler system (lines and tank) will work their way back into the rebuilt or new
transmission. For this reason a new transmission cooler flusher has been released, "Turbo-Tank
Heated Cooler Line Flusher" Rotunda Tool number 22-00001.
ACTION The transmission cooling system (cooler and lines) MUST be flushed every time the
transmission is overhauled or replaced in order to minimize the likelihood of repeat repairs. The
use of this new "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" (222-00001) is the most effective way to
remove contamination from its cooling system. Refer to the following Service Procedure and
Equipment instructions (supplied with the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher").
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Prior methods of cooler flushing have not obtained the level of cooler cleaning and contaminant
removal that is required to prevent repeat repairs. The "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher"
uses heated Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and a pulsating action to loosen system
contamination.
Previous equipment used solvents to clean & flush coolers, lines and torque-converters. There are
2 issues with this method:
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Cooler, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > A/T - Cooler Flushing Service Tips > Page 5957
^ Residual solvent contamination can cause damage to friction bonding materials within the
transmission (Clutches and Bands).
^ Lack of fluid heating and agitation prevents this method from completely removing contamination
from lines, in-radiator coolers and auxiliary coolers.
Aerosol Solvents should never be used for several reasons.
^ They do not provide the volume necessary to remove heavy contaminants.
^ They evaporate quickly and essentially leave contaminants in pockets, bends, or wherever they
are as the solvent dries.
NOTE
YOU MUST IDENTIFY THE RETURN COOLER LINE TO START THE BACK FLUSHING
PROCEDURE.
A quick way to identify the return cooler line (fluid coming out of the cooler and returning to the
transmission) is to locate the return cooler line fitting on the transmission case. Refer to the
following lists:
Rear Wheel Drive
^ TORQSHIFT, 4R100, E40D, C6 - The REAR transmission case filling receives the return line.
^ 4R70W, AODE, AOD - The TOP transmission case filling receives the return line.
^ A4LD, 4R44/55E, 5R55E, 5R55N, 5R55W, 5R55S
- The TOP transmission case filling receives the return line.
Front Wheel Drive
^ CD4E - The REAR or Pump End transaxle case fitting receives the return line.
^ 4F27E - The REAR or Cover End transaxle case fitting receives the return line.
^ AXOD, AXODE, AX4S, AX4N, 4F50N - The BOTTOM transaxle cooler line fitting receives the
return line.
NOTE
IF AN IN-LINE FILTER HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THE COOLER LINE, IT MUST BE REMOVED
BEFORE FLUSHING THE COOLER OR COOLER LINES.
Purge the cooler and cooler line before flushing:
Located on the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" is a fluid transfer and purge valve. This
valve can be used to purge the cooler and cooler lines of contaminated fluid before starting the
back flush procedure of the fluid cooling system (refer to step 5a of this Service Procedure or
Equipment instructions, supplied with the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher").
Flush Procedure
1. Check and top off fluid level of the "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher" tank with
transmission fluid.
2. Allow the fluid in the flusher 15-30 minutes to heat up to 140° F (60° C) before using.
3. Install line adapters into the transmission cooler lines.
4. Attach the flusher's blue line to the transmission return cooler line quick disconnect.
5. Attach the flusher's red line to the transmission outlet cooler line quick disconnect.
a. Follow equipment instructions, to purge cooler lines and cooler prior to starting flushing
procedure (using factory installed purge valve and clear hose on "Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line
Flusher").
6. Allow the cooling system to back-flush for 10-15 minutes, then flush the cooler in a
forward/normal flow direction for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Transmission Cooler: Description and Operation
Transmission Cooling
Transmission Cooling Components (Mountaineer Shown, Explorer Similar)
All vehicles with automatic transmissions are equipped with integral transmission fluid coolers. The
integral transmission fluid cooler is contained inside of the radiator outlet tank and cannot be
repaired separately. All (AWD) vehicles are equipped with the transmission auxiliary fluid cooler
which is mounted in front of the radiator. In operation, transmission fluid travels from the
transmission to the integral transmission fluid cooler to the transmission auxiliary fluid cooler then
back to the transmission. The integral transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from the transmission
fluid to the engine coolant. The transmission auxiliary fluid cooler transfers heat from the
transmission fluid to the outside air.

Transmission Cooler: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap under any conditions while the engine is operating.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury and/or damage to the cooling
system or engine. To avoid having scalding hot coolant or steam blow out of the radiator, use
extreme care when removing the radiator cap from a hot radiator. Wait until the engine has cooled,
then wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap and turn it slowly to the first stop. Step back while
the pressure is released from the cooling system. When you are certain all the pressure has been
released, press down on the radiator cap (with a cloth), turn and remove.
Check for fluid leakage. If fluid leakage is found at any of the transmission fluid cooling
components, the component must be replaced.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

These 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 Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Diagnostic Aids
These 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: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a thermistor-type sensor that varies a reference
voltage signal. The resistance in the TFT varies with temperature. The powertrain control module
(PCM) monitors the voltage signal across the TFT, and uses this information to determine the
transmission fluid temperature.
The TFT is located on the main control body wiring harness assembly.
The PCM uses the TFT signal to help determine shift scheduling, torque converter clutch operation
and electronic pressure control (EPC).

OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

and Switches - A/T > Transmission Speed Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 6429
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
These 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 Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found

The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a thermistor-type sensor that varies a reference
voltage signal. The resistance in the TFT varies with temperature. The powertrain control module
(PCM) monitors the voltage signal across the TFT, and uses this information to determine the
transmission fluid temperature.
The TFT is located on the main control body wiring harness assembly.
The PCM uses the TFT signal to help determine shift scheduling, torque converter clutch operation
and electronic pressure control (EPC).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation
Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid
The electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid is a variable force style (VFS) solenoid. The VFS
type solenoid is an electro-hydraulic actuator combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The powertrain control module (PCM) varies the current to the EPC solenoid.
This action causes the solenoid to regulate transmission line pressure and line modulator pressure.
This is done by producing resisting forces to the main regulator and line modulator circuits. These
two solenoids control clutch application pressures.
NOTE: Transmissions with identification tag IL5P-DA or IL5P-EA only, will have adaptive shift
strategy.
The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transmission which will
automatically adjust the shift feel. When the battery has been disconnected, or a new battery
installed, certain transmission operating parameters may be lost. The PCM must relearn these
parameters. During this learning process you may experience slightly firm shifts, delayed, or early
shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission.
Normal operation will return once these parameters are stored by the PCM.

Removal
1. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive
symptoms can occur while the vehicle relearns its
adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different
upshifts either soft or firm and this is a temporary condition and will eventually return to normal
operating condition.
Disconnect the battery ground cable.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6543
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6576
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6630
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6631
Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
These 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 Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

These 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: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a thermistor-type sensor that varies a reference
voltage signal. The resistance in the TFT varies with temperature. The powertrain control module
(PCM) monitors the voltage signal across the TFT, and uses this information to determine the
transmission fluid temperature.
The TFT is located on the main control body wiring harness assembly.
The PCM uses the TFT signal to help determine shift scheduling, torque converter clutch operation
and electronic pressure control (EPC).

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
The Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS), provides the Powertrain Control Module (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 generated.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
Anti-Lock Brake Control Module
NOTE: The new anti-lock brake control module must be reconfigured upon installation.
The anti-lock brake control module is mounted to the HCU. It is an on-board diagnostic,
non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and the necessary circuitry for their
operation. The anti-lock brake control module monitors system operation during normal driving as
well as during anti-lock braking. Anti-lock brake module operation is as follows: ^
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessor produces short test pulses to the solenoid
valves that check the electrical system without any mechanical reaction.
^ Impending wheel lock conditions trigger signals from the anti-lock brake control module that open
and close the appropriate solenoid valves. This results in moderate pulsations in the brake pedal.
During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake system. Most faults
that occur in the anti-lock brake system will be stored as a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the
keep-alive memory of the anti-lock brake control module. The DTCs can be retrieved by following
the on-board diagnostic procedures.

anti-lock brake sensors operate on magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the anti-lock brake
sensor indicator rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation
is generated and sent to the anti-lock brake control module through a twisted cable and shielded
wiring harness.

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation
Brake Master Cylinder
The brake master cylinder is a dual-piston type. The brake master cylinder is assisted by a power
brake booster. The following conditions are considered normal and not indications that the brake
master cylinder is in need of repair or replacement: ^
Low brake fluid level detected without signs of leakage. This condition is caused by displacement
of brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir into the disc brake calipers/rear disc brake
calipers to compensate for normal brake wear. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with High
Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or equivalent DOT 3 fluid meeting
Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
^ A momentary or slight squirt of brake fluid inside the brake master cylinder reservoir upon
application of the brake pedal.
^ A trace of brake fluid found on the outside of the power brake booster below the brake master
cylinder mounting flange. This condition results from the lubricating action of the brake master
cylinder wiping seal.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
Brake Master Cylinder
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master
cylinder is in need of service. Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder,
the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and fall during
release. The net fluid level (after brake application and release) will remain unchanged. Condition
2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting flange.
This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal. Condition 3:
Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.
Abnormal Conditions
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be wrong in the brake
system. Refer to the Symptom Chart at Brakes and Traction Control/Testing and Inspection for
abnormal condition diagnosis.
Bypass Condition Test
1. Disconnect the brake lines at the brake master cylinder. 2. Plug the outlet ports of the brake
master cylinder. 3. Apply the brakes. If brake pedal height cannot be maintained, the brake master
cylinder has an internal leak and must be rebuilt or installed new.
Compensator Port Check
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to supply any additional
brake fluid required by the system due to brake pad wear and to allow brake fluid returning from the
brake lines to the brake master cylinder to enter the brake master cylinder reservoir. The returning
brake fluid will cause a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. Turbulence seen in
the brake master cylinder reservoir upon release of the brake pedal is normal and shows that the
compensating ports are not plugged.

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 control. Apply the brake pedal several
times to exhaust all
vacuum in the system.
3. Apply the brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine. If the vacuum system
is operating, the brake pedal will tend to move
downward under constant foot pressure. If no motion is felt, the power brake booster system is not
functioning. Continue the test with the following steps.
4. Remove the vacuum booster hose from check valve connection. Manifold vacuum must be
available at the check valve end of the vacuum booster
hose with the engine at idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL. If the manifold vacuum is
available to the power brake booster, connect the vacuum booster hose to the power brake booster
check valve and repeat Steps 2 and 3 above.
5. Check and if no downward movement of the brake pedal is felt, install a new power brake
booster. 6. Operate the engine a minimum of 10 seconds at fast idle. Stop the engine, and let the
vehicle stand for 10 minutes. Then apply the brake pedal with
approximately 89 N (20 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 check valve and
retest. If the brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to remove air.

This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.
VEHICLES BUILT AFTER APRIL 18, 2001, BUT PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 7, 2001
1. All 4X2 Sport Trac vehicles built after 4/18/2001 should omit this step and begin with Step 2
below, as these vehicles are production equipped with a high output displacement pump (Part
Number 1L2Z-3A674-GA) and do not require a pump update. All 4X4 and 4X2 Sport vehicles and
4X4 Sport Trac vehicles should replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement
pump Part Number 3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE
DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement
instructions.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-3D746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL 211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E6DZ-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve.
CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining
the check valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install
the no-hole check valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.
5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.

6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
Anti-Lock Brake Control Module
NOTE: The new anti-lock brake control module must be reconfigured upon installation.
The anti-lock brake control module is mounted to the HCU. It is an on-board diagnostic,
non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and the necessary circuitry for their
operation. The anti-lock brake control module monitors system operation during normal driving as
well as during anti-lock braking. Anti-lock brake module operation is as follows: ^
Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessor produces short test pulses to the solenoid
valves that check the electrical system without any mechanical reaction.
^ Impending wheel lock conditions trigger signals from the anti-lock brake control module that open
and close the appropriate solenoid valves. This results in moderate pulsations in the brake pedal.
During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake system. Most faults
that occur in the anti-lock brake system will be stored as a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the
keep-alive memory of the anti-lock brake control module. The DTCs can be retrieved by following
the on-board diagnostic procedures.

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
Warning Switch, Brake Fluid Level
The brake master cylinder fluid level warning switch is an integral part of the brake master cylinder
reservoir. It consists of a float containing a magnet and a reed switch mounted in the bottom of the
brake master cylinder reservoir. When the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir gets to
a predetermined level, the floating magnet actuates the reed switch, causing the red brake warning
indicator to illuminate. Loss of brake fluid will cause this system to activate.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Anti-Lock Brake Sensor
NOTE: Any time an anti-lock brake sensor is removed, thoroughly clean the mounting surfaces. On
front anti-lock brake sensors, apply High-Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease
E8TZ-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C198-A.
The anti-lock brake system uses three variable-reluctance sensors to determine vehicle speed. The
anti-lock brake sensors operate on magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the anti-lock brake
sensor indicator rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation
is generated and sent to the anti-lock brake control module through a twisted cable and shielded
wiring harness.

ISSUE This TSB describes the operation and function of the Battery Eye and correct Battery
Recharging procedures.
ACTION Refer to the following Service Tips to avoid misdiagnosis of a battery using the Battery
Eye, and to determine the best way to charge a battery that may be discharged.
SERVICE TIPS
Battery Eye Operation / Function
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Battery > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Battery - Battery Eye Function/Charging/Service > Page 7052
The purpose of the battery eye is to indicate the state of charge of the battery in the assembly plant
and while on the dealership lot. The battery eye can also indicate the state-of-charge when the
vehicle is delivered to the dealership and during the pre-delivery inspection process. The battery
eye is made up of a viewing plate, two balls and a small passage. The balls indicate the specific
gravity of the electrolyte by floating higher or lower in the passageway. It is important to note that
the battery eye checks the specific gravity on only one battery cell.
^ RED usually indicates that the battery state-of-charge is at 40 percent or less
^ YELLOW indicates that the battery state-of-charge is between 40 and 57 percent
^ GREEN indicates that the battery state-of-charge is above 57 percent
^ NO COLOR/BLACK sometimes no color can be seen at all and the eye appears black. This could
happen after the battery has been in service for several years and some of the plate material has
coated the balls
^ CLEAR could happen if the battery case becomes damaged and the electrolyte has fallen below
the plates
The battery eye is a state-of-charge indicator, but should not be used to condemn a battery after
the vehicle has been placed in service. After delivery, many things could happen to cause the
battery eye to lead to misdiagnosis of the battery's actual state-of-charge. After the vehicle has
been in service, the battery eye does not always accurately reflect the battery state-of-charge. The
GR-1 190 Battery Tester/Charge or Micro 490 Digital Battery Analyzer should be used to determine
battery condition.
Do not replace a battery based solely on the indication given by the battery eye. The battery eye
color simply indicates the battery state-of-charge, not its condition. If the eye indicates the battery
may be discharged, Use GR-1 190 Battery Tester/Charger to determine the battery condition or
recharge the battery before testing using the Micro 490.
A red or yellow indicator usually means that the battery is discharged, not defective. Therefore, a
battery with a red or yellow eye should not automatically be replaced. The indicator could remain
red after recharge because the balls are stuck in the passageway.
When new vehicles are delivered to the dealership, be sure to check the state-of-charge indicator
within 72 hours. If the battery eye is red, charge the battery until it is fully charged. Refer to the
following Battery Charging Procedure.
Batteries discharge while the vehicle is on the lot due to normal parasitic key-off loads. Also,
vehicles in inventory are generally driven short distances with heavy electrical loads. Over a period
of time (30 days or more), vehicles still in inventory will have shallow to deeply discharged
batteries. The vehicle's charging system is designed to supply the vehicle's electrical power needs
and maintain the battery near full charge during normal vehicle use. The charging system is not
capable of bringing a deeply discharged battery back near full charge in a short amount of time
such as allowing the vehicle to idle for 15 minutes to "recharge the battery". Discharged batteries
should be charged using an external charger. Refer to the following Battery Charging Procedure.
NOTE
THE BATTERY EYE MAY REMAIN RED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (UP TO SEVERAL DAYS),
EVEN AFTER THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED, BECAUSE THE ACID IS NOT YET FULLY
MIXED.
Battery Charging Procedure
Dealers with GR-1 190, use the Diagnostic Fast Charge Mode on GR-1 190 for this procedure and
for dealers without a GR-1 190 the following procedure applies:
The Micro 490 Digital Battery Analyzer (Rotunda Part Number 162-00004) is extremely accurate if
used properly and can distinguish the difference between good, defective, worn out, or
discharged-only batteries. This TSB provides proper battery charging procedures for batteries that
are identified as "discharged-only". Discharged-only batteries can be recharged using the
procedures in this TSB without reducing battery life or charge capacity.
NOTE
BATTERY CHARGERS HAVE IMPROVED GREATLY WITH THE ADDITION OF THE NEW
GENERATION OF "PULSE CHARGERS". THESE NEW CHARGERS PULSE CURRENT INTO
THE BATTERY THAT BREAKS DOWN THE SULFATION LAYER ON THE BATTERY PLATES
AND GENERALLY REDUCE CHARGING TIMES TO LESS THAN 1 HOUR.
^ DEEPLY DISCHARGED - A battery that is drained over a prolonged period of time such as an
unsold vehicle, to the point it is dead
^ SHALLOW DISCHARGE - A battery that is drained by leaving an accessory on for several hours
or a few days, and has a very low charge
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Battery > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Battery - Battery Eye Function/Charging/Service > Page 7053
The chart information summarizes two (2) recommended methods of charging.
NOTE
COLD BATTERIES WILL NOT READILY ACCEPT A CHARGE. THEREFORE, BATTERIES
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO WARM TO APPROXIMATELY 41° F (5° C) BEFORE CHARGING.
THIS MAY REQUIRE 4 TO 8 HOURS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
A battery which has been completely discharged and left in that condition for a prolonged time
(such as an unsold vehicle) may be slow to accept a charge initially, and in some cases may not
accept a charge at the normal charger setting. When batteries are in this condition, charging can
be started by use of the "dead battery" feature on chargers so equipped. Follow charger
manufacturer's instructions for use of dead battery switch. If switch is the spring-loaded type, it may
need to be held in the ON position for up to 3 minutes.
NOTE
THE BATTERY EYE MAY REMAIN RED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (UP TO SEVERAL DAYS),
EVEN AFTER THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED, BECAUSE THE ACID IS NOT YET FULLY
MIXED.

Battery Drain Test
NOTE: No production vehicle should have more than a 50 mA (0.050 amp) continuous draw.
Check for current drains on the battery in excess of 50 milliampere (0.050 amp) with all the
electrical accessories off and the vehicle at rest. Current drains can be tested with the following
procedure:
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS LEST ON A LEAD-ACID BATTERY THAT HAS RECENTLY
BEEN RECHARGED. EXPLOSIVE GASES CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the meter, do not crank the engine or operate accessories that
draw more than 10A.
NOTE:
^ Many modules draw 10 mA (0.010 amp) or more continuously.
^ Use an in-line ammeter between the battery positive or negative post and its respective cable.
^ Typically, a drain of approximately one amp can be attributed to an engine compartment lamp,
glove compartment lamp, or luggage compartment lamp staying on continually. Other component
failures or wiring shorts may be located by selectively pulling fuses to pinpoint the location of the
current drain. When the current drain is found, the meter reading will fall to an acceptable level. If
the drain is still not located after checking all the fuses, it may be due to the generator.
^ To accurately test the drain on a battery, an in-line digital ammeter must be used. Use of a test
lamp or voltmeter is not an accurate method due to the number of electronic modules.
1. Make sure the junction box/fuse panels are accessible without turning on interior and underhood
lights. 2. Drive the vehicle at least five minutes and over 48 km/h (30 mph) to turn on and exercise
the vehicle systems. 3. Allow the vehicle to sit with the key off for atleast 40 minutes to allow
modules to time out/power down. 4. Connect a fused jumper wire between the negative battery
cable and the negative battery post to prevent modules from resetting and to catch
capacitive drains.
5. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the post without breaking the connection of the
jumper wire. 6. Connect the tester between the negative battery cable and the post. The meter
must be capable of reading milliampere and should have a 10 amp
capability.
NOTE: It is very important that continuity is not broken between the battery and the negative
battery cable when connecting the meter. If this happens, the entire procedure must be repeated.
7. Remove the jumper wire.
NOTE: If the meter settings need to be switched or the test leads need to be moved to another
jack, the jumper wire must be reinstalled to avoid breaking continuity.
NOTE:
^ Amperage draw will vary from vehicle to vehicle depending on the equipment package. Compare
to a comparable vehicle for reference.
^ No production vehicle should have more than a 50 mA (0.050 amp) draw.
8. If the draw is found to be excessive, pull fuses from the battery/central junction box one at a time
and note the current drop. Do not reinstall the
fuses until you are finished testing.
9. Check the wiring schematic in the wiring diagram for any circuits that run from the battery without
passing through the battery/central junction box
. Disconnect these circuits if the draw is still excessive.
Battery Load Test
1. With the engine running, turn the A/C on, the blower motor on high speed and the headlamps on
high beam. 2. Increase the engine speed to approximately 2,000 rpm. The voltage should increase
a minimum of 0.5 volt above the base voltage.
^ If the voltage does not increase as specified, carry out the Generator On-Vehicle Tests. See:
Charging System/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Generator
Testing
^ If the voltage increases as specified, the charging system is operating normally.
Electronic Drains That Shut Off When The Battery Cable Is Disconnected
1. Repeat the steps of the battery drain testing. 2. Make sure all doors are closed and accessories
are off. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition switch to RUN for a moment and then OFF.
Wait a few minutes for the illuminated entry lamps to turn off if equipped.
3. Connect the ammeter and read the amperage draw.
Test Conclusion

Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Battery > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 7066
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 50 mA (0.05 amp). If the current drain
exceeds 50 mA (0.05 amp) after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the
drain is most likely caused by an inoperative electronic component. As in previous tests, remove
the fuses from the battery/central junction box one at a time to locate the problem circuit.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7081
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7137
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.

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

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug
> 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7167
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7211
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7214
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7270
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7273
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

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

Service Tips
Refer to applicable model year wiring diagrams for circuit information.
Twisted Wire Circuits
For "Twisted Wire" circuit repair (Figure 1), the twisting must not be disrupted for more than 2" (51
mm) Twist the repaired wires in the same direction and with the same general twist rate as the
original wiring. Reapply the shielding on shielded circuits.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Wiring Harness > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 7428
Stagger the repairs to minimize harness diameter and maintain harness length (Figure 2).
Any leads that are not going to be used need to be sealed with dual wall heat shrink and stowed
(Figure 2). Silicone must not be used.
Excess wire from the harness can be folded back on itself to maintain the harness length.
Reapply any convolute and tape that was removed to make the repair.
For 16 AGW and Smaller Diameter Wire

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

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

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 7434
3. Identify the appropriate crimping chamber of the Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper (or
equivalent) by matching the wire size on the dies with the wire size stamped on the butt splice
(Figure 7). Hold the crimping tool so the identified wire sizes are facing you. Squeeze tool handles
together until the ratchet releases, then allow the jaws of the tool to open fully.
4. Center one (1) end of the butt splice on the appropriate crimping chamber. If visible, be sure to
place the brazed seam of the butt splice toward the indenter (Figure 8).
5. Hold the butt splice in place and squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the butt splice in position (typically one (1) or two (2) clicks). DO NOT deform the
butt splice.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 7435
6. Insert stripped wire into the buff splice, making sure the insulation on wire does not enter the butt
splice (Figure 8).
7. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles together until ratchet releases. Allow tool
handles to open, then remove crimped butt splice.
8. To crimp the other half of the splice, reposition the un-crimped wire barrel in the same crimping
chamber, and repeat Steps 3-8. If splice cannot be turned for crimping the other half, turn the tool
around.
9. Check for acceptable crimp.
a. Crimp should be centered on each end of the butt splice. It is acceptable for crimp to be slightly
off center, but not off the end of the buff splice (Figure 9-a).
b. Wire insulation does not enter butt splice. Wire is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of
buff splice (Figure 9-b).
c. Wire is visible through inspection hole of splices (Figure 9-c).
10. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair (Figure 5).
NOTE
OVERLAP TUBING ON BOTH WIRES.
11. Use a shielded heat gun to heat the entire length of the heat shrink tubing until the hot melt
appears from both ends of the tubing. Durability of a heat shrink tubing splice is dependent on the
hot melt that will appear from both ends of the tube. The hot melt forms an adhesive seal between
the wire insulation and the heat shrink tubing, which prevents air and moisture from entering the
solder point (Figure 5).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7441
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

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

Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7471
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7515
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7518
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7574
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Information and Instructions > Page 7577
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

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

Service Tips
Refer to applicable model year wiring diagrams for circuit information.
Twisted Wire Circuits
For "Twisted Wire" circuit repair (Figure 1), the twisting must not be disrupted for more than 2" (51
mm) Twist the repaired wires in the same direction and with the same general twist rate as the
original wiring. Reapply the shielding on shielded circuits.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Wiring Harness > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 7732
Stagger the repairs to minimize harness diameter and maintain harness length (Figure 2).
Any leads that are not going to be used need to be sealed with dual wall heat shrink and stowed
(Figure 2). Silicone must not be used.
Excess wire from the harness can be folded back on itself to maintain the harness length.
Reapply any convolute and tape that was removed to make the repair.
For 16 AGW and Smaller Diameter Wire
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Wiring Harness > Component Information > Technical Service

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

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

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

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

Bulletins > Electrical - Wiring Soldering/Crimping Service Tips > Page 7739
6. Insert stripped wire into the buff splice, making sure the insulation on wire does not enter the butt
splice (Figure 8).
7. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles together until ratchet releases. Allow tool
handles to open, then remove crimped butt splice.
8. To crimp the other half of the splice, reposition the un-crimped wire barrel in the same crimping
chamber, and repeat Steps 3-8. If splice cannot be turned for crimping the other half, turn the tool
around.
9. Check for acceptable crimp.
a. Crimp should be centered on each end of the butt splice. It is acceptable for crimp to be slightly
off center, but not off the end of the buff splice (Figure 9-a).
b. Wire insulation does not enter butt splice. Wire is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of
buff splice (Figure 9-b).
c. Wire is visible through inspection hole of splices (Figure 9-c).
10. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair (Figure 5).
NOTE
OVERLAP TUBING ON BOTH WIRES.
11. Use a shielded heat gun to heat the entire length of the heat shrink tubing until the hot melt
appears from both ends of the tubing. Durability of a heat shrink tubing splice is dependent on the
hot melt that will appear from both ends of the tube. The hot melt forms an adhesive seal between
the wire insulation and the heat shrink tubing, which prevents air and moisture from entering the
solder point (Figure 5).

Alignment: Description and Operation
WHEEL ALIGNMENT ANGLES
Caster and camber are adjusted by means of eccentric cams on the upper control arm mounting
bolts. Toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie-rod.
Negative and Positive Camber
Camber Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive
or negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when
viewed from the side. The caster specifications will give the vehicle the best directional stability
characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.
Positive Toe (Toe In)

Wheel Track
Wheel Track
Dogtracking
Dogtracking Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily
crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
Wander Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering
wheel corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
Shimmy Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the
steering wheel resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements. Shimmy is usually
experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire contacts pot holes
or irregularities in the road surface.
Nibble Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with
various road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering
wheel.
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.

Page 7751
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 (i.e., wind, road camber).
Poor Groove Feel Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the
steering wheel as the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or
straight-ahead (under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center."
^
Under 20 degrees of turn, most of the turning effort that builds up comes from the mesh of gear
teeth in the steering gear. In this range, the steering wheel is not yet turned enough to feel the
effort from the self-aligning forces at the road wheel or tire patch.
^ In the diagnosis of a readability problem, it is important to understand the difference between
wander and poor groove feel.

ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section

3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E6DZ-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve.
CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining
the check valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install
the no-hole check valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.
5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.

6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

STEERING SHUDDER DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS - 4.0L ENGINE
FORD: 2001-2003 Explorer Sport 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac
This article supersedes TSB 04-2-7 to update the vehicle model years and service procedure.
ISSUE Some 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified through the steering system. The
condition will vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel
turning speed.
ACTION As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the
VEHICLE BUILD DATE and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service
Procedure. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering system after
replacement/installation of parts.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
BEFORE REPLACING ANY COMPONENT, BE SURE TO CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT
INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION AND NOISE.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. FILL AND PURGE THE P/S SYSTEM
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES CALLED OUT IN THE ON-LINE WORKSHOP MANUAL,
SECTION 211-00. FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE WILL REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO CORRECT THE SHUDDER.

This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.
VEHICLES BUILT AFTER APRIL 18, 2001, BUT PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 7, 2001
1. All 4X2 Sport Trac vehicles built after 4/18/2001 should omit this step and begin with Step 2
below, as these vehicles are production equipped with a high output displacement pump (Part
Number 1L2Z-3A674-GA) and do not require a pump update. All 4X4 and 4X2 Sport vehicles and
4X4 Sport Trac vehicles should replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement
pump Part Number 3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE
DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement
instructions.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-3D746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL 211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E6DZ-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve.
CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining
the check valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install
the no-hole check valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.
5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.

6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND

3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

STEERING SHUDDER DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS - 4.0L ENGINE
FORD: 2001-2003 Explorer Sport 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac
This article supersedes TSB 04-2-7 to update the vehicle model years and service procedure.
ISSUE Some 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified through the steering system. The
condition will vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel
turning speed.
ACTION As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the
VEHICLE BUILD DATE and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service
Procedure. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering system after
replacement/installation of parts.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
BEFORE REPLACING ANY COMPONENT, BE SURE TO CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT
INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION AND NOISE.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. FILL AND PURGE THE P/S SYSTEM
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES CALLED OUT IN THE ON-LINE WORKSHOP MANUAL,
SECTION 211-00. FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE WILL REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO CORRECT THE SHUDDER.

This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

Control Valve: > 03-19-12 > Sep > 03 > Steering - Shudder on Low Speed Turns or When Stopped > Page 7862
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

STEERING SHUDDER DURING LOW SPEED MANEUVERS - 4.0L ENGINE
FORD: 2001-2003 Explorer Sport 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac
This article supersedes TSB 04-2-7 to update the vehicle model years and service procedure.
ISSUE Some 2001-2005 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified through the steering system. The
condition will vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel
turning speed.
ACTION As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the
VEHICLE BUILD DATE and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service
Procedure. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering system after
replacement/installation of parts.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
BEFORE REPLACING ANY COMPONENT, BE SURE TO CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT
INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION AND NOISE.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. FILL AND PURGE THE P/S SYSTEM
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES CALLED OUT IN THE ON-LINE WORKSHOP MANUAL,
SECTION 211-00. FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE WILL REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO CORRECT THE SHUDDER.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.

FORD: 2001-2003 EXPLORER SPORT 2001-2004 EXPLORER SPORT TRAC
This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Power Steering Pump: > 03-19-12 > Sep > 03 > Steering Shudder on Low Speed Turns or When Stopped > Page 7884
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Power Steering Pump: > 03-19-12 > Sep > 03 > Steering Shudder on Low Speed Turns or When Stopped > Page 7885
5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

> Steering - Shudder on Low Speed Turns or When Stopped > Page 7903
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the

3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

This article supersedes TSB 01-25-01 to update the part numbers and the vehicle coverage.
ISSUE
Some 2001-2004 Explorer Sport Trac and 2001-2003 Explorer Sport vehicles may exhibit a
steering wheel shudder during low-speed turning maneuvers. This may be due to the interaction
between the tire and the road surface, which is amplified by the steering system. The condition will
vary according to ambient temperature, road surface friction, and steering wheel turning speed.
ACTION
As design changes have taken place in the steering system, it is important to note the vehicle build
date and follow the appropriate steps outlined in the following Service Procedure. Per the vehicle
build date it may be necessary to replace the power steering pump and cooler, and install a no-hole
check valve in the steering gear. Perform a thorough evacuation of air from the power steering
system after replacement/installation of parts and reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
to the latest level calibration.
NOTE
THE STEERING SHUDDER WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS PURGED
OF AIR WITH A VACUUM AT THE RESERVOIR. CORRECTLY FOLLOWING THE EVACUATION
PROCEDURE DETAILED BELOW WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO
CORRECT THE SHUDDER. THE SHUDDER MAY STILL BE PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT
OF THE PARTS IF THE EVACUATION PROCEDURE IS NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWED.
NOTE
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE, PERFORM THE DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE WORKSHOP MANUAL, SECTION 211-00 TO CONFIRM
THAT ALL OTHER SYSTEM ISSUES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO APRIL 18, 2001
1. Replace the Power Steering Pump with a new high displacement pump Part Number
3L2Z-3A674-CARM. BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION
COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
NOTE
DO NOT FILL, PURGE, OR LEAK CHECK THE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT SINCE THE
STEERING GEAR CHECK VALVE AND COOLER MUST ALSO BE REPLACED.
2. Replace the Cooler Assembly with service part F77Z-30746-GA. (This new cooler has a larger
fin pack to maintain lower fluid temperatures).
BEFORE REPLACEMENT, CLEAN ALL AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. The existing
cooler return line (hose attached to the gear outlet port) will be reused to ease installation. Attach a
clamp to the cooler return line to reduce fluid spillage during removal of the cooler. Disconnect the
existing cooler fin pack from the cooler return line by releasing the constant tension clamp. Remove
the return line on the new cooler to be installed and connect this new fin pack assembly to the
existing return line. Re-secure the constant tension clamp. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section
211-02 for complete replacement instructions.

> Steering - Shudder on Low Speed Turns or When Stopped > Page 7938
3. Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the gear pressure port to allow replacement of
the check valve. DO NOT ATTACH A CLAMP. TO THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE
AS IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TUNING CABLE INSIDE THE HOSE. Attach a clamp to the
COOLER RETURN LINE to reduce fluid flow out of the gear during removal of the pressure line.
Loosen the nut securing the power steering pressure hose to the gear inlet and detach it from the
gear. REPLACE THE 0-RING (388897-S) ON THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE NUT.
USE ROTUNDA TOOL-211-D-027 OR EQUIVALENT TO SIZE THE 0-RING. ANY OTHER
METHOD OF INSTALLATION WILL DEFORM IT, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE.
4. Replace the check valve located in the steering gear pressure side inlet port with a No-Hole
Check Valve (E60Z-3N603-A). This new check valve has a spring-loaded closure allowing flow in
only one direction, without the bleeder hole that is present in the current check valve. CLEAN ALL
AREAS WHERE DIRT INGESTION COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND NOISE. Using a pick tool, remove the clip retaining the check
valve in the gear inlet. Then, using the pick, remove the check valve from the port. Install the
No-Hole Check Valve WITH THE OPEN SIDE DOWNWARD into the pressure side inlet of gear
(Figure 1 and Figure 2). Reattach the power steering pressure hose to the inlet of the steering
gear.

5. Fill the power steering reservoir with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid
(XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
6. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
7. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
8. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
9. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
10. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more
thorough air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and
stand outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching
the reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.
NOTE
THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVERDONE OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE PUMP.
11. Reprogram the PCM to the latest level available.
12. Test drive to verify repair.

COULD OCCUR. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM CONTAMINATION AND
NOISE. Refer to the Workshop Manual, Section 211-02 for replacement instructions.
2. Check and fill the power steering reservoir as necessary with MERCON' Multi-Purpose (ATF)
Transmission Fluid (XT-2-QDX) or equivalent.
3. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, apply 25 inches of vacuum to the reservoir opening. Start the engine
and let idle for 1 minute. DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. If power steering reservoir
becomes low, remove the vacuum and refill.
4. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING and NO VACUUM APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, turn the
steering wheel to the left and then to the right end-of-travel stops, KNOCKING AGAINST EACH
STOP SEVERAL TIMES to purge remaining air from the steering system. Air bubbles should be
seen rising from the reservoir. Use of a shop light behind the reservoir will facilitate monitoring of
the release of air. Repeat this procedure four times in each direction.
NOTE
AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD THE STEERING WHEEL BE HELD ON THE
STOPS OR THE POWER STEERING PUMP COULD BE DAMAGED.
5. Recheck the fluid level and, if necessary, refill.
6. Test drive the vehicle and evaluate. Perform static parking maneuvers, IDEALLY ON PAINTED
CONCRETE OR SEALED ASPHALT, to evaluate the vehicle for steering shudder and any other
steering concerns.
7. If steering shudder is still present, or power steering pump "whine" is occurring, a more thorough
air evacuation may be needed. With 25 inches of vacuum applied, start the engine and stand
outside the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times while watching the
reservoir for bubbles (using a shop light behind the reservoir), and listen for any sign of power
steering noise. When bubbles are no longer rising out of the reservoir, and any power steering
system noise has ceased, shut off the engine.

ON and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag
indicator will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either: -fail to light.
-remain lit continuously. -flash. The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after
the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for
the restraints control module (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 five sets of five beeps. If this
occurs, the air bag indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.
25. Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair Prove Out Procedure
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position and visually monitor the air bag indicator
with the air bag modules or restraint system diagnostic tools installed. The air bag indicator will light
continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
^ fail to light.
^ remain lit continuously.
^ flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the RUN position. This is the time required for the Restraints Control
Module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an
SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.

Steering Wheel: Service Precautions
WARNINGS:
- 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 generate 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.
- Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be installed new, not repainted.
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting
bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or any other
damaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components, whether or not the air bag is
deployed.
- 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.

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

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

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

recommended pressure. The vehicle manufacturers recommended tire pressure for the original
equipment tires can be found on the drivers side door placard.
2. Road test the vehicle on a smooth road for a minimum of 10 miles. Performance of the road test
at highway speeds is preferred.
NOTE
THIS MUST BE PERFORMED TO "EXERCISE" THE TIRES AND ELIMINATE "COLD" FLAT
SPOTTING THAT OCCURS DUE TO SHORT-PERIOD VEHICLE STORAGE OR PARKING. IF
THE VEHICLE'S TIRES ARE NOT EXERCISED FIRST, ACCURACY OF THE ROAD FORCE
MEASUREMENTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED/STORED
IN ONE LOCATION FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (E.G. 20 MINUTES).
3. Perform the road force measurement IMMEDIATELY after exercising the tires. If the road force
measurement cannot be performed immediately, lift all four tires off the ground with a hoist or jack
stands to prevent measurement errors due to further flat spotting.
4. Assembly centering verification MUST be performed and PASSED prior to any road force
measurement.
For those with a software version other than 2.1 the centering verification must be performed
manually.
a. Spin assembly to measure. Record the assembly R1H.

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

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

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

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

This type of equipment can be a valuable tool to improve customer satisfaction when used as a
vibration repair tool. This type of equipment can also provide a high level of customer satisfaction
when used as an assembly too! when the customer has purchased new wheels/tires in the
"Around-the-Wheel" program.
ACTION The Hunter GSP9700/9712 road force measurement tool is NOT to be used for
determining if a tire or wheel meets a specification. It can be used as a service diagnostic tool to
minimize road force variation of the tire/wheel assembly. The tool such as the Hunter GSP97OO
can approximate the low point of the "'1heel and the high point of the tire. This allows the tire to be
matched mounted to the wheel for lowest tire/wheel assembly road force variation. This will
minimize the contribution to vibration from the tire/wheel assembly.

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

1. Check the inflation pressure of all four tires and adjust to the vehicle manufacturers
recommended pressure. The vehicle manufacturers recommended tire pressure for the original
equipment tires can be found on the drivers side door placard.
2. Road test the vehicle on a smooth road for a minimum of 10 miles. Performance of the road test
at highway speeds is preferred.
NOTE
THIS MUST BE PERFORMED TO "EXERCISE" THE TIRES AND ELIMINATE "COLD" FLAT
SPOTTING THAT OCCURS DUE TO SHORT-PERIOD VEHICLE STORAGE OR PARKING. IF
THE VEHICLE'S TIRES ARE NOT EXERCISED FIRST, ACCURACY OF THE ROAD FORCE
MEASUREMENTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED/STORED
IN ONE LOCATION FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (E.G. 20 MINUTES).
3. Perform the road force measurement IMMEDIATELY after exercising the tires. If the road force
measurement cannot be performed immediately, lift all four tires off the ground with a hoist or jack
stands to prevent measurement errors due to further flat spotting.
4. Assembly centering verification MUST be performed and PASSED prior to any road force
measurement.
For those with a software version other than 2.1 the centering verification must be performed
manually.
a. Spin assembly to measure. Record the assembly R1H.

Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation
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.
Suction Accumulator, Part 1
Suction Accumulator, Part 2
The suction accumulator is mounted on the A/C accumulator bracket to the right of the vehicle
centerline. The inlet tube of the suction accumulator attaches directly to the A/C evaporator core
outlet tube and the outlet tube attaches to the A/C manifold and tube.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator, the heavier oil-laden refrigerant contacts an
internally mounted dome (which serves as an umbrella)

and drips down onto the bottom of the canister.
- A small diameter oil bleed hole, in the bottom of the vapor return tube, allows the accumulated
heavier liquid refrigerant and oil mixture to re-enter the compressor suction line at a controlled rate.
- As the heavier mixture passes through the small diameter liquid bleed hole, it has a second
chance to vaporize and recirculate through the A/C compressor without causing compressor
damage due to slugging.
- A fine mesh screened filter fits tightly around the bottom of the vapor return tube to filter out
refrigerant system contaminant particles.
- A desiccant bag is mounted inside the canister to absorb any moisture which may be in the
refrigerant system.
- A fitting located on the top of the suction accumulator is used to attach the A/C cycling switch. A
long-travel Schrader- type valve stem core is installed in the fitting so that the A/C cycling switch
can be removed without discharging the A/C system.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8328
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8331
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Blower Motor: Diagnostic Aids
These 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.

Blower Motor Switch: Description and Operation
Function Selector Switch
The function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve with two electrical switches to
supply battery voltage (B+) to the A/C clutch circuit and the blower motor speed control circuit.
Temperature Control Switch
Temperature selection is accomplished with a potentiometer connected to the electric blend door.
Movement of the temperature control switch from COOL (blue) to WARM (Red) causes a
corresponding movement on the air temperature that the air system will maintain.
Blower Motor Switch
The blower motor switch controls blower motor speed by adding or by passing resistors in the
heater blower motor switch resistor.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8407
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Compressor HVAC > Compressor Clutch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8410
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation
NOTE:
- Internal A/C compressor components are not serviced separately. The FS-10 A/C compressor is
serviced only as an assembly. The A/C clutch, A/C clutch pulley , A/C clutch field coil and the shaft
seal are serviceable.
- Installation of a new suction accumulator 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 magnetic A/C clutch has the following characteristics:
- It drives the compressor shaft.
- When battery positive voltage (B+) is applied to the A/C clutch field coil, the A/C clutch is drawn
toward the A/C clutch pulley.
- The magnetic force locks the A/C clutch and the A/C clutch pulley together as one unit, causing
the compressor shaft to rotate.
- When B+ is removed from the A/C clutch field coil, springs in the A/C clutch move the A/C clutch
away from the A/C clutch pulley.

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

Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator 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 A/C condenser core has the following characteristics:
- It is an aluminum fin and tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator.
- It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat and
condense refrigerant gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.

Condenser HVAC: Testing and Inspection
On-Vehicle Leak Test
1. Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the refrigerant. 2.
Disconnect the suspect A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core from the A/C system.
NOTE: DO NOT leak test an A/C evaporator core with the suction accumulator/drier attached to the
core tubes.
3. Clean the spring lock couplings. 4. Connect the appropriate test fittings from the R-12/R-134a Air
Conditioning Test Fitting Set to the evaporator or condenser tube connections. 5. Connect the red
and blue hoses from the R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the test fittings on the A/C evaporator core
or A/C condenser core.
Connect the yellow hose to a known good vacuum pump.
NOTE: The automatic shut-off valves on some gauge set hoses do not open when connected to
the test fittings. If available, use hoses without shut-off valves. If hoses with shut-off valves are
used, make sure the valve opens when attached to the test fittings or install an adapter which will
activate the valve. The test is not valid if the shut-off valve does not open.
6. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump. Allow the vacuum pump to operate for
a minimum of 45 minutes after the gauge set low
Pressure gauge indicates 101 kPa (30 in-Hg). The 45 minute evacuation is necessary to remove
any refrigerant from oil left in the A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core. If the refrigerant is
not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will degrade the vacuum and appear as a
refrigerant leak.
7. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) when the valves on the
gauge and manifold set are open and the vacuum
pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe the low pressure gauge. If the pressure
rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the test fitting connections and gauge set
connections before installing a new A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core.
8. After evacuating for 45 minutes, close the gauge set valves and stop the vacuum pump.
Observe the low pressure gauge; it should remain at the
101 kPa (30 in-Hg) mark. If the low pressure gauge reading rises 34 or more kPa (10 or more in-Hg) of vacuum from the 101
kPa (30 in-Hg) position in 10 minutes, a leak is indicated.
- If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
- If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes to remove any remaining refrigerant from the oil in the A/C evaporator core or
A/C condenser core. Then recheck for loss of vacuum.
- If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to set overnight with vacuum applied and
check for vacuum loss.
9. If the A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core does leak, as verified by the above procedure,
install a new A/C evaporator core or A/C
condenser core.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8491
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Control Assembly: Description and Operation Main Climate Control
The climate control assembly has three system controls:
1. Function Selector Switch
The function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve with two electrical switches to
supply battery voltage (B+) to the A/C clutch circuit and the blower motor speed control circuit.
2. Temperature Control Switch
Temperature selection is accomplished with a potentiometer connected to the electric blend door.
Movement of the temperature control switch from COOL (blue) to WARM (Red) causes a
corresponding movement on the air temperature that the air system will maintain.
3. Blower Motor Switch
The blower motor switch controls blower motor speed by adding or by passing resistors in the
heater blower motor switch resistor.

Coupler HVAC: Service Precautions
CAUTION:
- Do not use metal tools to remove the O-ring seals. They can cause axial scratches across the
O-ring seal grooves resulting in refrigerant leaks.
- Do not use a screwdriver or similar tool to remove the A/C tube lock coupling spring; this can
cause axial scratches across the O-ring seal grooves resulting in refrigerant leaks.
- Maintain low speed drill rotation when inserting or removing the cleaning tool to prevent axial
scratches which may cause future leaks.
- Use only new green O-ring seals. The use of any O-ring seals other than specified may result in
intermittent leakage during vehicle operation.
- Support the female fitting with a wrench to prevent the tubes from twisting.
- Use only new purple O-ring seals. The use of any O-ring seals other than specified may result in
intermittent leakage during vehicle operation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Coupler HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Spring Lock Coupling
Coupler HVAC: Description and Operation Spring Lock Coupling
Spring Lock Coupling
The spring lock coupling is a refrigerant line coupling held together by a garter spring inside a
circular cage.
- When the coupling is connected together, the flared end of the female fitting slips behind the
garter spring inside the cage of the male fitting.
- The garter spring and cage then prevent the flared end of the female fitting from pulling out of the
cage.
- Three O-ring seals are used to seal between the two halves of the spring lock couplings.
- These O-ring seals are green in color and are made of special material.
- Use only the green O-ring seals listed in the Ford Master Parts Catalog for the spring lock
coupling.
- A plastic indicator ring may be used on the spring lock couplings of the A/C evaporator core to
indicate, during vehicle assembly, that the coupling is connected. Once the coupling is connected,
the indicator ring is no longer necessary but will remain captive by the coupling near the cage
opening.
- The indicator ring may also be used during service operations to indicate connection of the
coupling.
- An A/C tube lock coupling clip may be used to secure the coupling but is not required.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation
NOTE:
- The evaporator core is not separately serviceable, it is serviced only with the evaporator core
housing assembly.
- 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 A/C evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.
- A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C
evaporator core inlet tube and is routed so it flows through the partitioned first three plate/fin
sections.
- The next four plate/fin sections are partitioned to force the refrigerant to flow toward the other end
of the A/C evaporator core.
- Refrigerant then continues over to the remaining five plate/fin sections and then moves out of the
A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core outlet tube.
- This S-pass flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the A/C evaporator
core.

Evaporator Core: Testing and Inspection
On-Vehicle Leak Test
1. Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the refrigerant. 2.
Disconnect the suspect A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core from the A/C system.
NOTE: DO NOT leak test an A/C evaporator core with the suction accumulator/drier attached to the
core tubes.
3. Clean the spring lock couplings. 4. Connect the appropriate test fittings from the R-12/R-134a Air
Conditioning Test Fitting Set to the evaporator or condenser tube connections. 5. Connect the red
and blue hoses from the R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the test fittings on the A/C evaporator core
or A/C condenser core.
Connect the yellow hose to a known good vacuum pump.
NOTE: The automatic shut-off valves on some gauge set hoses do not open when connected to
the test fittings. If available, use hoses without shut-off valves. If hoses with shut-off valves are
used, make sure the valve opens when attached to the test fittings or install an adapter which will
activate the valve. The test is not valid if the shut-off valve does not open.
6. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump. Allow the vacuum pump to operate for
a minimum of 45 minutes after the gauge set low
Pressure gauge indicates 101 kPa (30 in-Hg). The 45 minute evacuation is necessary to remove
any refrigerant from oil left in the A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core. If the refrigerant is
not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will degrade the vacuum and appear as a
refrigerant leak.
7. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) when the valves on the
gauge and manifold set are open and the vacuum
pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe the low pressure gauge. If the pressure
rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the test fitting connections and gauge set
connections before installing a new A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core.
8. After evacuating for 45 minutes, close the gauge set valves and stop the vacuum pump.
Observe the low pressure gauge; it should remain at the
101 kPa (30 in-Hg) mark. If the low pressure gauge reading rises 34 or more kPa (10 or more in-Hg) of vacuum from the 101
kPa (30 in-Hg) position in 10 minutes, a leak is indicated.
- If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
- If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes to remove any remaining refrigerant from the oil in the A/C evaporator core or
A/C condenser core. Then recheck for loss of vacuum.
- If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to set overnight with vacuum applied and
check for vacuum loss.
9. If the A/C evaporator core or A/C condenser core does leak, as verified by the above procedure,
install a new A/C evaporator core or A/C
condenser core.

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.

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

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DANGEROUS. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE VEHICLE IN A CLOSED ARE IN SUCH AS
A GARAGE, ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES
OUTSIDE THE CLOSED AREA.
1. Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater water hose to heater core attachments. A
coolant leak in the heater water hose could follow
the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in the heater core.
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and did not require installation of a new heater core. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater
core must be tested by following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core
pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:
2. Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps.
NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specification clamps can cause leakage at the heater water hose connection and damage the
heater core.
Heater Core-Plugged
WARNING: THE HEATER CORE INLET HOSE WILL BECOME TOO HOT TO HANDLE IF THE
SYSTEM IS WORKING CORRECTLY.
1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level. 2. Start the engine and turn on the
heater. 3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core outlet hose
to see if it is hot.
If it is not hot: the heater control valve is not working correctly.
- the heater core may have an air pocket.
- the heater core may be plugged.
- the thermostat is not working correctly.
Heater Core-Pressure Test Use Pressure Tester to carry out the pressure test. 1. Drain the coolant
from the cooling system.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 inches) long on each heater core tube.
4. Fill the heater core and heater water hoses with water and install Plug BT-7422-B and adapter
BT-7422-A from the radiator/heater core
pressure tester in the heater water hose ends. Secure the heater water hoses, plug and adapter
with hose clamps.
5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Tester to the adapter. 6. Close the
bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 241 kPa (35 psi) of air pressure into the heater core. 7.
Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of three minutes. 8. If the pressure drops, check the
heater water hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater water hoses do not leak,
remove the
heater core from the vehicle and carry out the bench test.
Heater Core-Bench Test 1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant
from the heater core. 3. Connect the 101 mm (4 inch) test heater water hoses with plug and
adapter to the core tubes. Then connect the radiator/heater core pressure

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.

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

ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES OUTSIDE THE
CLOSED AREA.
R-134A IS CLASSIFIED AS A SAFE REFRIGERANT, BUT MISUSE CAN MAKE IT
DANGEROUS. THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN REPAIRING AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM.
- AVOID CONTACT WITH LIQUID REFRIGERANT R-134A. R-134A VAPORIZES AT
APPROXIMATELY -25°C (-13°F) UNDER ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND IT WILL FREEZE
SKIN TISSUE.
- NEVER ALLOW REFRIGERANT R-134A GAS TO ESCAPE IN QUANTITY IN AN OCCUPIED
SPACE. R-134A IS NON-TOXIC, BUT IT WILL DISPLACE THE OXYGEN NEEDED TO
SUPPORT LIFE.
- NEVER USE A TORCH IN AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING R-134A GAS. R-134A IS
NON-TOXIC AT ALL NORMAL CONDITIONS, BUT WHEN IT IS EXPOSED TO HIGH
TEMPERATURES, SUCH AS A TORCH FLAME, IT DECOMPOSES. ONE OF THE PRODUCTS
OF THE CHEMICAL BREAKDOWN IS A PHOSGENE GAS, WHICH IS HIGHLY TOXIC.
- DO NOT ALLOW ANY PORTION OF THE CHARGED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TO

Refrigerant: Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the vehicle or A/C components, the following precautions must be observed. The A/C refrigerant of all vehicles must be identified and analyzed prior to refrigerant charging.
Failure to due so can contaminate the shop bulk refrigerant and other vehicles.
- Do not add R-12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of R-134a refrigerant. These
two types of refrigerant must never be mixed. Doing so can damage the A/C system.
- Charge the A/C system with the engine running only at the low-pressure side to prevent
refrigerant slugging from damaging the A/C compressor.
- Use only R-134a refrigerant. Due to environmental concerns, when the air conditioning system is
drained, the refrigerant must be collected using refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Federal
law REQUIRES that R-134a be recovered into appropriate recovery equipment and the process be
conducted by qualified technicians who have been certified by an approved organization, such as
MACS, ASI, etc. Use of a recovery machine dedicated to R-134a is necessary to reduce the
possibility of oil and refrigerant incompatibility concerns. Refer to the instructions provided by the
equipment manufacturer when removing refrigerant from or charging the air conditioning system.
- Refrigerant R-134a must not be mixed with air for leak testing or used with air for any other
purpose above atmospheric pressure. R-134a is combustible When mixed with high concentrations
of air and higher pressures.
- A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products that are described as direct
substitutes for Refrigerant R-134a. The use of any unauthorized substitute refrigerant can severely
damage the A/C components. If repair is required, use only new or recycled Refrigerant R-134a.
- Use a back-up wrench to prevent damage to the tubes.
To avoid contamination of the A/C system: Never open or loosen a connection recovering the refrigerant using approved equipment.
- When loosening a connection, if any residual pressure is evident, allow it to leak out before
opening the fitting.
- Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure on a system that has been opened
to install a new component or one that has discharged through leakage before charging.
- Seal open fittings with a cap or plug immediately after disconnecting a component from the
system.
- Clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly before disconnecting a component from the system.
- Do not remove the sealing caps from a new component until ready to install.
- Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open an oil
container until ready to use, and install the cap immediately after using. Store the oil in a clean,
moisture-free container.
- Install a new O-ring seal before connecting an open fitting. Coat the fitting and O-ring seal with
refrigerant oil before connecting.
- When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends. Position the line away from the exhaust or
any sharp edges that can chafe the line.
- Tighten threaded fittings only to specifications. The steel and aluminum fittings used in the
refrigerant system will not tolerate overtightening.
- When disconnecting a fitting, use a wrench on both halves of the fitting to prevent twisting of the
refrigerant lines or tubes.
- Do not open a refrigerant system or uncap a new component unless it is as close as possible to
room temperature. This will prevent condensation from forming inside a component that is cooler
than the surrounding air.
- Good ventilation is necessary in the area where electronic A/C leak testing is to be carried out. If
the surrounding air is contaminated with refrigerant gas, the leak detector will indicate this gas all
the time. Odors from other chemicals such as anti-freeze, diesel fuel, disc brake cleaner, or other
cleaning solvents can cause the same problem. A fan, even in a well-ventilated area, is very helpful
in removing small traces of contamination from the air that might affect the leak detector.
- During normal A/C operation, oil is circulated through the system with the refrigerant, and a small
amount is retained in each component. If certain components of the system are removed for new
installation, some of the refrigerant oil will go with the component. To maintain the original total oil
charge, it is necessary to compensate for the oil lost by adding oil to the system with the new part.
- If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment.

Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure
Refrigerant: Service and Repair Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure
Special Tool(s)
SPECIAL TOOL(S)
NOTE: Ford Motor Company recommends use of an A/C service center to carry out recovery,
evacuation, and charging of the refrigerant system. If an A/C service center is not available,
refrigerant system recovery, evacuation, and charging may be accomplished using a separate
recovery station, vacuum pump, charging cylinder, and manifold gauge set.
Refrigerant System Recovery
1. Prior to recovering the refrigerant system, you must verify the purity of the refrigerant. 2. Connect
an R-134a A/C service center to the low- and high-pressure service gauge port valves.
NOTE: Some R-134a service centers require the use of an A/C manifold gauge set.
3. Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the refrigerant from the
system following the operating instructions
provided by the equipment manufacturer.
4. Once the service center has recovered the vehicle A/C system refrigerant, close the service
center inlet valve (if equipped). Then switch off the
power supply.
5. Allow the vehicle A/C system to remain closed for about two minutes. Observe the system
vacuum level on the gauge. If the vacuum does not
decrease, disconnect the refrigerant center hose(s).
6. If the system vacuum does decrease, repeat Steps 2 through 5 until the vacuum level remains
stable for two minutes. 7. Carry out the required repairs.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair Identifying Refrigerants
Delux A/C Refrigerant Analyzer
SPECIAL TOOL(S)
1. Follow the instructions included with the Deluxe Refrigerant Diagnostic Tool to obtain the sample
for testing.
NOTE: An A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used to identify gas samples taken directly from the
refrigeration system or storage containers prior to recovering or charging the refrigerant system.
2. The diagnostic tool will display one of the following:
- If the purity level of R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, the green "PASS" light emitting
diode (LED) will light. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbons, and air will
be displayed on the digital display.
- If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet the 98% purity levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light and
a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12,
R-22, and hydrocarbons will be displayed on the digital display.
- If hydrocarbon concentrations are 2% or greater by weight, the red "FAIL" LED will light,
"Hydrocarbon High" will be displayed on the digital display, and a horn will sound alerting the user
of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22,and hydrocarbons will also
be displayed on the digital display.
3. The percentage of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is
98% or greater. The diagnostic tool eliminates the
effect of air when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a
contaminant, although air can affect A/C system performance. When the diagnostic tool has
determined that a refrigerant source is pure (R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight) and air
concentration levels are 2% or greater by weight, the diagnostic tool will prompt the user if an air
purge is desired.
4. If contaminated refrigerant is detected, repeat the refrigerant identification test to verify that the
refrigerant is indeed contaminated. 5. Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery
Procedure to remove any contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment
designed for capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant.
CAUTION: If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into R-134a or
R-12 recovery/recycling equipment.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the top of the suction
accumulator.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C cycling switch, presses in on the
Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the suction pressure inside the suction accumulator to control the operation of the A/C
cycling switch.
- The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops, The contacts close when
the suction pressure rises. Refer to specifications regarding operating pressure(s).
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts close, the signal to energize the A/C clutch is sent to the
wide open throttle A/C cutoff relay.
- When the A/C cycling switch contacts open, the A/C clutch field coil is de-energized and
compressor operation stops.
- The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
- This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of air flow.
- It is not necessary to Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the
A/C cycling switch.

PCM Inputs
AIR CONDITIONING CYCLING SWITCH
The Air Conditioning (A/C) cycling switch may be wired to either the A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS) or
ACPSW Powertrain Control Module (PCM) input. When the A/C cycling switch opens, the PCM will
turn off the Air Conditioning (A/C) clutch For information on the specific function of the A/C cycling
switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.
The A/C Cycling Switch (ACCS) circuit to the PCM provides a voltage signal which indicates when
the A/C is requested. When the A/C demand switch is turned on, and both the A/C cycling switch
and the high pressure contacts of the A/C high pressure switch (if equipped and in circuit) are

Switch
The A/C pressure cutoff switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high
system discharge pressures.
- The A/C pressure cutoff switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the high pressure
side of the A/C manifold and tube.
- A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C pressure cutoff switch, presses on
the Schrader valve stem.
- This allows the A/C pressure cutoff switch to monitor the compressor discharge pressure.
- When the compressor discharge pressure rises, the switch contacts open, disengaging the A/C
compressor. When the pressure drops, the contacts close to allow operation of the A/C
compressor. Refer to specifications regarding operating pressure(s).
- It is not necessary to Perform the Refrigerant Discharging and Recovery Procedure to remove the
A/C pressure cutoff switch.

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

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair Air Bag System Reconnect Checklist
The checklist below should be completed following diagnosis or repair of any air bag system
concern:
1. Is the three-way connector at the base of the steering column connected? 2. Are the air bag
modules connected? 3. Is the Restraints Control Module (RCM) connected? 4. Is the vehicle
battery connected?

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair Prove Out Procedure
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position and visually monitor the air bag indicator
with the air bag modules or restraint system diagnostic tools installed. The air bag indicator will light
continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
^ fail to light.
^ remain lit continuously.
^ flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the RUN position. This is the time required for the Restraints Control
Module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an
SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.

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 Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
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 8824
^ 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
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) carries out the following functions:
^ signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
^ monitors the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) for faults.
^ illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
^ flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) detected.
^ communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current or historical Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).
^ signals the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the RCM and is not serviced separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, the RCM will flash 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 six seconds and then off for two seconds. After the prove out, the air bag indicator will then flash
the two-digit LFC for any current SRS fault. If an SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will flash the
LFC five times, and then remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also
communicate the current and historical DTCs through the DLC, to the scan tool. If the air bag
indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the GEM
to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is
heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be
displayed.
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 damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors determine that a deployment is required. The backup power supply will deplete its
stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

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 Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
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
9034
^ 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.

CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these
charges, damage can result.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) carries out the following functions:
^ signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
^ monitors the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) for faults.
^ illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
^ flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) detected.
^ communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current or historical Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs).
^ signals the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the RCM and is not serviced separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, the RCM will flash 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 six seconds and then off for two seconds. After the prove out, the air bag indicator will then flash
the two-digit LFC for any current SRS fault. If an SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will flash the
LFC five times, and then remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also
communicate the current and historical DTCs through the DLC, to the scan tool. If the air bag
indicator does not function, and the system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the GEM
to activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is
heard, the SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be
displayed.
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 damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors determine that a deployment is required. The backup power supply will deplete its
stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

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 Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
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
9078
^ 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(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair Prove Out Procedure
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position and visually monitor the air bag indicator
with the air bag modules or restraint system diagnostic tools installed. The air bag indicator will light
continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
^ fail to light.
^ remain lit continuously.
^ flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the RUN position. This is the time required for the Restraints Control
Module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an
SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag
indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.

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 Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
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 9189
^ 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 Extension: Description and Operation
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.
There are two extension assemblies available, one for the front seating positions and one for the
rear seating positions, and they are not interchangeable.
Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier of 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 the occupant when fully extended. Do not use an extension to
change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.

1. Extend the safety belt to latch the tongue into the buckle across an empty seat without slack in
the safety belt, with the seat in the full down and
rearmost position, seat back in an upright position, and if applicable, the O-ring adjusted in the full
down position.
2. Pull the shoulder belt to full extension to engage the retractor's Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) feature. Then allow the belt to retract freely in
the ALR mode, and the retractor force set the correct belt tightness.
3. Pull on the shoulder belt to check that the belt has remained in the ALR mode. If the belt is not
locked, install a new belt and retractor assembly.
The safety belt should remain locked in the ALR mode across an empty seat.
4. To verify that the safety belt still automatically disengages from the ALR mode correctly, with the
O-ring adjusted to the full up position, if
applicable, unlatch the safety belt tongue from the buckle and allow the safety belt to retract to its
stowed position. Pull on the shoulder belt to verify that the retractor assembly has converted
automatically out of the ALR mode. If the belt remains locked in the stowed position, a new belt and
retractor assembly must be installed. The safety belt should extract freely.

ISSUE Some vehicles may experience a concern with the keyless entry keypad. In order to
properly diagnose the concern with the keyless entry keypad, it is important to identify whether the
keypad is a factory installed style (wired) or a Genuine Ford Accessory (GFA) radio frequency (RF)
style keypad.
ACTION Use the following Service Procedure to identify GFA RF keypads and provide diagnostic
service tips.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
IDENTIFICATION:
1. Production installed keyless entry keypads are mounted flush with the surface of the vehicle and
are wired directly to the module controlling the vehicle's keyless entry system. This style keypad
can be diagnosed using the appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry > Keyless
Entry Key-Pad > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Keyless Entry - Keypad Diagnostics > Page 9340
2. Dealer installed GFA RF keypads are adhesive backed and protrude approximately 1/2" (13
mm) from the surface of the vehicle and there are no specific diagnostics available in the WSM
(Figure 1).
NOTE
THIS RF KEYPAD WAS ALSO US[D IN PRODUCTION ON 2004 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES
BUILT PRIOR TO 12/3/2003. REFER TO WSM, SECTION 501-14 FOR RF KEYPAD
DIAGNOSTICS FOR THESE VEHICLES.
GENUINE FORD ACCESSORY KEYPAD DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
1. The keypad operates similarly to a remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter and is programmed
using a similar procedure.
Although the RF keypad is not specifically addressed in the WSM, the RKE transmitter
programming portion of the WSM, Section 501-14 can be used as a guide
NOTE
THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTONS ON THE KEYPAD MUST BE PRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY
DURING THE PROCEDURE IN ORDER FOR THE KEYPAD TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN
ADDITIONAL REMOTE TRANSMITTER.
Since the GFA RF keypad is essentially another RKE transmitter, the transmitter diagnostic
pinpoint tests in the vehicle's WSM can also be referenced even though the buttons serving the
lock / unlock functions will differ
2. The GFA RF keypad is serviced as an assembly. The internal battery cannot be replaced
separately.
3. If the master code or owner selectable code is lost or forgotten, the GFA RF keypad must be
replaced. These codes are not stored in any vehicle module (with the exception of 2004 F-Super
Duty vehicles produced prior to 12/3/2003).
4. The GFA RF keypad and all RKE transmitters (the number of transmitters allowable will vary by
vehicle) must be reprogrammed together anytime the keypad is replaced, an RKE transmitter is
replaced, or the module controlling the keyless entry system on the vehicle (GEM/SJB/VSM/DDM
etc.) is replaced.
NOTE
THERE IS AN EXCEPTION TO TIP 4 FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED
KEYHEAD TRANSMITTERS (IKTs) (FUSION/MILAN/ZEPHYR). THE GFA RF KEYPADS FOR
VEHICLES WITH IKTs MUST BE PROGRAMMED INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE IKTs. TURN
THE IGNITION FROM "OFF" TO "RUN" 8 TIMES WITHIN 10 SECONDS, WITH THE 8TH TIME
ENDING IN "RUN". THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE TO CONFIRM ENTERING
PROGRAMMING MODE. PRESS THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTON ON THE KEYPAD
SIMULTANEOUSLY TO SEND A LOCK SIGNAL. TURN IGNITION TO OFF. THE LOCKS WILL
CYCLE AGAIN TO INDICATE THE END OF THE PROGRAMMING MODE.
5. The keypad will normally illuminate for 5 seconds after one or more buttons are pressed, and the
illumination will immediately turn off if the 7-8 and 9-0 buttons are pressed simultaneously (lock all
doors). The keypad contains an optical sensor and will not illuminate under bright lighting
conditions. The keypad may only illuminate briefly in colder temperatures in order to maximize the
battery power available to transmit a lock/unlock signal. The temperature at which this occurs will
vary depending upon the keypad battery age and condition. Both of these conditions are a normal
function of the Power Save Mode and do not indicate a need to replace the keypad.
6. After entering the keypad code, the system may unlock the driver's door, lock it, then unlock it
again, and the keypad will not even briefly illuminate. This is the Alert Mode and is an indication
that battery power is very low and the keypad must be replaced.
7. The keypad also contains an Anti-scan feature. If the wrong code has been entered 7 times (35
consecutive button presses) the keypad is disabled for one minute and the keypad lamp will flash
during this time.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9524
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a
product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap
and water afterwards.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not
repainted.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE: If a seat equipped with a seat mounted side air bag and/or a safety belt pretensioner (if
equipped) system is being serviced, the supplemental restraint system (SRS) must be depowered.

ISSUE Some vehicles may experience a concern with the keyless entry keypad. In order to
properly diagnose the concern with the keyless entry keypad, it is important to identify whether the
keypad is a factory installed style (wired) or a Genuine Ford Accessory (GFA) radio frequency (RF)
style keypad.
ACTION Use the following Service Procedure to identify GFA RF keypads and provide diagnostic
service tips.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
IDENTIFICATION:
1. Production installed keyless entry keypads are mounted flush with the surface of the vehicle and
are wired directly to the module controlling the vehicle's keyless entry system. This style keypad
can be diagnosed using the appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Key-Pad > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Keyless Entry - Keypad Diagnostics > Page 9918
2. Dealer installed GFA RF keypads are adhesive backed and protrude approximately 1/2" (13
mm) from the surface of the vehicle and there are no specific diagnostics available in the WSM
(Figure 1).
NOTE
THIS RF KEYPAD WAS ALSO US[D IN PRODUCTION ON 2004 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES
BUILT PRIOR TO 12/3/2003. REFER TO WSM, SECTION 501-14 FOR RF KEYPAD
DIAGNOSTICS FOR THESE VEHICLES.
GENUINE FORD ACCESSORY KEYPAD DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
1. The keypad operates similarly to a remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter and is programmed
using a similar procedure.
Although the RF keypad is not specifically addressed in the WSM, the RKE transmitter
programming portion of the WSM, Section 501-14 can be used as a guide
NOTE
THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTONS ON THE KEYPAD MUST BE PRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY
DURING THE PROCEDURE IN ORDER FOR THE KEYPAD TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN
ADDITIONAL REMOTE TRANSMITTER.
Since the GFA RF keypad is essentially another RKE transmitter, the transmitter diagnostic
pinpoint tests in the vehicle's WSM can also be referenced even though the buttons serving the
lock / unlock functions will differ
2. The GFA RF keypad is serviced as an assembly. The internal battery cannot be replaced
separately.
3. If the master code or owner selectable code is lost or forgotten, the GFA RF keypad must be
replaced. These codes are not stored in any vehicle module (with the exception of 2004 F-Super
Duty vehicles produced prior to 12/3/2003).
4. The GFA RF keypad and all RKE transmitters (the number of transmitters allowable will vary by
vehicle) must be reprogrammed together anytime the keypad is replaced, an RKE transmitter is
replaced, or the module controlling the keyless entry system on the vehicle (GEM/SJB/VSM/DDM
etc.) is replaced.
NOTE
THERE IS AN EXCEPTION TO TIP 4 FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED
KEYHEAD TRANSMITTERS (IKTs) (FUSION/MILAN/ZEPHYR). THE GFA RF KEYPADS FOR
VEHICLES WITH IKTs MUST BE PROGRAMMED INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE IKTs. TURN
THE IGNITION FROM "OFF" TO "RUN" 8 TIMES WITHIN 10 SECONDS, WITH THE 8TH TIME
ENDING IN "RUN". THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE TO CONFIRM ENTERING
PROGRAMMING MODE. PRESS THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTON ON THE KEYPAD
SIMULTANEOUSLY TO SEND A LOCK SIGNAL. TURN IGNITION TO OFF. THE LOCKS WILL
CYCLE AGAIN TO INDICATE THE END OF THE PROGRAMMING MODE.
5. The keypad will normally illuminate for 5 seconds after one or more buttons are pressed, and the
illumination will immediately turn off if the 7-8 and 9-0 buttons are pressed simultaneously (lock all
doors). The keypad contains an optical sensor and will not illuminate under bright lighting
conditions. The keypad may only illuminate briefly in colder temperatures in order to maximize the
battery power available to transmit a lock/unlock signal. The temperature at which this occurs will
vary depending upon the keypad battery age and condition. Both of these conditions are a normal
function of the Power Save Mode and do not indicate a need to replace the keypad.
6. After entering the keypad code, the system may unlock the driver's door, lock it, then unlock it
again, and the keypad will not even briefly illuminate. This is the Alert Mode and is an indication
that battery power is very low and the keypad must be replaced.
7. The keypad also contains an Anti-scan feature. If the wrong code has been entered 7 times (35
consecutive button presses) the keypad is disabled for one minute and the keypad lamp will flash
during this time.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Module > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9930
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9965
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Control Module > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9968
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Keyless Entry Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10042
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

OVERVIEW
This procedure involves replacement of certain seat recliner assembly attaching hardware on two
different style driver seat assemblies. The driver seat will have either a stamped seat back frame or
a tubular seat back frame. These seats can be distinguished from one another by slightly lifting the
seat back cover and viewing the corner of the seat back frame itself. See Figures 1 and 2.
^ Tubular seatback frames can be identified by a hole in the lower flange where the recliner
mechanism attaches to the seatback frame. See Figure 1.

ISSUE
If service should become necessary on a bed extender, separate components are available which
enable repairs without replacement of the entire unit. Replacing the entire bed extender assembly,
when it is only necessary to replace the affected component(s), is considered an over repair.
ACTION
Prior to replacing an entire bed extender assembly, examine it closely and determine if repairs can
be made utilizing the components and replacement instructions listed in this TSB. Determine also
whether the complaint condition may be the result of an impact or customer abuse, as repairs for
these reasons may not be covered under warranty. Refer to the following service procedures.

SCDS Identification
The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Recall 05S28 and the revised SCDS is
illustrated below. See Figure 1.
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector. A jumper adapter (which is
included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS.
SCDS Location
In most late model year vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder.
In early model year vehicles (1992-1998), the SCDS may be located on the master cylinder but is
often found on a brake line distribution block or on the brake proportioning valve. If in doubt, just
follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found.
^ On early model year E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is located on the left frame rail.
^ On E-450 models only, remove the 3 screws and position the coolant degas bottle forward to
allow access to the SCDS and servo.
^ On F-53 vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it may be located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder. It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
^ On 1993 MARK VIII vehicles, the steering wheel intermediate shaft needs to be disconnected
from the inside of the vehicle and the outside of the vehicle, and then positioned upwards to gain
access to the SCDS.
- When the intermediate steering shaft is disconnected, the steering wheel must be in the LOCK
position to prevent damage to the clockspring.
- During installation of the intermediate steering shaft, new bolts must be installed. Tighten the bolts
to 49 Nm (36 lb-ft).
^ On 1994-1998 MARK VIII vehicles, the SCDS is located underneath the right front fender splash
shield in front of the right front wheel. It is not necessary to remove the right front wheel to access
the SCDS. Turn the wheel all the way right and position the front of the fender splash shield aside.
^ On all Mark VIII vehicles (except 1993), the speed control servo is located underneath the left
front fender splash shield in front of the left front wheel.

Disconnect the SCDS and inspect the harness connector (See Figure 3) for the presence of brake
fluid.
^ All vehicles except 1993 Mark VIII: If there is no evidence of brake fluid on the connector, install a
Fused Jumper Harness.
- On 1993 Mark VIII vehicles with no evidence of brake fluid on the SCDS harness connector,
replace the Speed Control Deactivation Switch but do not inspect or apply electrical grease to the
speed control servo connector.
^ If there is evidence of brake fluid on the connector, replace the Speed Control Deactivation
Switch, inspect and apply electrical grease to the appropriate connectors.
FUSED JUMPER HARNESS (FJH) INSTALLATION
1. Connect the fused jumper harness to the SCDS and the vehicle harness.
2. Secure the jumper harness to the existing harness with tie straps, making sure the fuse holders
are positioned vertically with the cap facing upward. Wrap the tie straps underneath, then over the
top of the existing harness and verify proper fuse holder orientation. See Figure 4.
SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (SCDS) REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
The brake pedal must not be depressed during the removal and replacement of the SCDS.
1. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder and, if necessary, fill to maximum fluid level.
NOTICE:
DO NOT apply fluid to the electrical connector or damage to the connector may occur.
NOTICE:
The 1994 Capri Brake Repair Kit contains a brass sealing washer. Install the brass washer onto the
SCDS before installing it on the vehicle.

Bulletins > Recalls for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch
Inspection > Page 10461
2. Add a few drops of Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, PM1-1 or
PM-1-C (US), CPM-1-C (Canada), to the fluid port at the threaded end of the new SCDS. See
Figure 5.
NOTICE:
Do not allow any foreign material to enter the master cylinder port once the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
Call the Special Service Support Center for assistance if brake fluid does not flow from the SCDS
fitting when the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
If the new SCDS is not installed immediately after the original switch is removed, the master
cylinder brake fluid could drop below the minimum level and air could enter the brake system. If this
should occur, air must be bled from the brake system at all 4 wheels. In this situation, the labor to
bleed the brake system will not be covered under this program.
3. Remove the SCDS.
4. With the brake fluid reservoir cap removed, observe for brake fluid dripping/draining from the
SCDS fitting. As soon as brake fluid begins to bleed from the fitting, install the new SCDS.
5. Tighten the new SCDS as follows:
^ 18 Nm (159 lb-in) - all vehicles except 1994 Capri.
^ 13 Nm (115 lb-in) - 1994 Capri.
6. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder, fill to maximum fluid level and install the brake
fluid reservoir cap.
7. Disconnect the speed control servo and inspect the vehicle harness connector for heat damage.
See Figure 6.
^ If no heat damage is found at the speed control servo connector (even if there is presence of
brake fluid in the connector), proceed to the next step.
^ If the speed control servo connector is heat damaged, call the Special Service Support Center for
further instructions.
8. With the speed control servo disconnected, use shop air only to blow the SCDS harness
electrical connector and the servo connector dry of any trace of brake fluid. Do not use any type of
solvent to clean the connectors.

SCDS Identification
The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Recall 05S28 and the revised SCDS is
illustrated below. See Figure 1.
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector. A jumper adapter (which is
included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS.
SCDS Location
In most late model year vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder.
In early model year vehicles (1992-1998), the SCDS may be located on the master cylinder but is
often found on a brake line distribution block or on the brake proportioning valve. If in doubt, just
follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found.
^ On early model year E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is located on the left frame rail.
^ On E-450 models only, remove the 3 screws and position the coolant degas bottle forward to
allow access to the SCDS and servo.
^ On F-53 vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it may be located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder. It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
^ On 1993 MARK VIII vehicles, the steering wheel intermediate shaft needs to be disconnected
from the inside of the vehicle and the outside of the vehicle, and then positioned upwards to gain
access to the SCDS.
- When the intermediate steering shaft is disconnected, the steering wheel must be in the LOCK
position to prevent damage to the clockspring.
- During installation of the intermediate steering shaft, new bolts must be installed. Tighten the bolts
to 49 Nm (36 lb-ft).
^ On 1994-1998 MARK VIII vehicles, the SCDS is located underneath the right front fender splash
shield in front of the right front wheel. It is not necessary to remove the right front wheel to access
the SCDS. Turn the wheel all the way right and position the front of the fender splash shield aside.
^ On all Mark VIII vehicles (except 1993), the speed control servo is located underneath the left
front fender splash shield in front of the left front wheel.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise
Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 10491
Disconnect the SCDS and inspect the harness connector (See Figure 3) for the presence of brake
fluid.
^ All vehicles except 1993 Mark VIII: If there is no evidence of brake fluid on the connector, install a
Fused Jumper Harness.
- On 1993 Mark VIII vehicles with no evidence of brake fluid on the SCDS harness connector,
replace the Speed Control Deactivation Switch but do not inspect or apply electrical grease to the
speed control servo connector.
^ If there is evidence of brake fluid on the connector, replace the Speed Control Deactivation
Switch, inspect and apply electrical grease to the appropriate connectors.
FUSED JUMPER HARNESS (FJH) INSTALLATION
1. Connect the fused jumper harness to the SCDS and the vehicle harness.
2. Secure the jumper harness to the existing harness with tie straps, making sure the fuse holders
are positioned vertically with the cap facing upward. Wrap the tie straps underneath, then over the
top of the existing harness and verify proper fuse holder orientation. See Figure 4.
SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (SCDS) REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
The brake pedal must not be depressed during the removal and replacement of the SCDS.
1. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder and, if necessary, fill to maximum fluid level.
NOTICE:
DO NOT apply fluid to the electrical connector or damage to the connector may occur.
NOTICE:
The 1994 Capri Brake Repair Kit contains a brass sealing washer. Install the brass washer onto the
SCDS before installing it on the vehicle.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise
Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 10492
2. Add a few drops of Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, PM1-1 or
PM-1-C (US), CPM-1-C (Canada), to the fluid port at the threaded end of the new SCDS. See
Figure 5.
NOTICE:
Do not allow any foreign material to enter the master cylinder port once the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
Call the Special Service Support Center for assistance if brake fluid does not flow from the SCDS
fitting when the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
If the new SCDS is not installed immediately after the original switch is removed, the master
cylinder brake fluid could drop below the minimum level and air could enter the brake system. If this
should occur, air must be bled from the brake system at all 4 wheels. In this situation, the labor to
bleed the brake system will not be covered under this program.
3. Remove the SCDS.
4. With the brake fluid reservoir cap removed, observe for brake fluid dripping/draining from the
SCDS fitting. As soon as brake fluid begins to bleed from the fitting, install the new SCDS.
5. Tighten the new SCDS as follows:
^ 18 Nm (159 lb-in) - all vehicles except 1994 Capri.
^ 13 Nm (115 lb-in) - 1994 Capri.
6. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder, fill to maximum fluid level and install the brake
fluid reservoir cap.
7. Disconnect the speed control servo and inspect the vehicle harness connector for heat damage.
See Figure 6.
^ If no heat damage is found at the speed control servo connector (even if there is presence of
brake fluid in the connector), proceed to the next step.
^ If the speed control servo connector is heat damaged, call the Special Service Support Center for
further instructions.
8. With the speed control servo disconnected, use shop air only to blow the SCDS harness
electrical connector and the servo connector dry of any trace of brake fluid. Do not use any type of
solvent to clean the connectors.

connector end) with Motorcraft Electrical Grease II XG-15-A. See Figure 7.
11. Install the adapter jumper harness by connecting it to both the SCDS and the vehicle harness.
Using the provided tie strap, secure the jumper harness to a nearby component such as the speed
control cable or another wire harness.
NOTICE:
Be sure to apply and adequate amount of grease to the vehicle harness connector only. DO NOT
apply the grease directly to the connector of the servo module.
12. Apply a 5 mm (3/16 in) high bead of Motorcraft Electrical Grease II XG-15-A across the entire
width and length of the servo vehicle harness connector. See Figure 8.

4. WARNING: BE SURE TO MARK THE STRAND COVER AT THE VERY POINT WHERE IT
ENTERS THE NOTCHED CABLE HOUSING. FAILURE TO MARK THE COVER AND MEASURE
THE DISTANCE ACCURATELY (AS OUTLINED IN STEP 6) MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO
REPLACE AN UNACCEPTABLE CABLE.
NOTE:
Use a suitable marker such as a fine point paint marker or a felt-tipped marking pen. Brush-on
touchup paint may also be used. DO NOT use a blunt marker or one that has a worn-out tip. It
could cause your measurement to be incorrect. Whichever marking device you decide to use, it
must leave a clean, straight line at the very point where the strand cover enters the notched cable
housing. You will be measuring, in very small increments, the distance from the very edge of the
mark you make to a certain point on the cable assembly. THE MEASUREMENT MUST NOT
INCLUDE THE THICKNESS OF THE MARK.

SCDS Identification
The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Recall 05S28 and the revised SCDS is
illustrated below. See Figure 1.
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector. A jumper adapter (which is
included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS.
SCDS Location
In most late model year vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder.
In early model year vehicles (1992-1998), the SCDS may be located on the master cylinder but is
often found on a brake line distribution block or on the brake proportioning valve. If in doubt, just
follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found.
^ On early model year E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is located on the left frame rail.
^ On E-450 models only, remove the 3 screws and position the coolant degas bottle forward to
allow access to the SCDS and servo.
^ On F-53 vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it may be located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder. It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
^ On 1993 MARK VIII vehicles, the steering wheel intermediate shaft needs to be disconnected
from the inside of the vehicle and the outside of the vehicle, and then positioned upwards to gain
access to the SCDS.
- When the intermediate steering shaft is disconnected, the steering wheel must be in the LOCK
position to prevent damage to the clockspring.
- During installation of the intermediate steering shaft, new bolts must be installed. Tighten the bolts
to 49 Nm (36 lb-ft).
^ On 1994-1998 MARK VIII vehicles, the SCDS is located underneath the right front fender splash
shield in front of the right front wheel. It is not necessary to remove the right front wheel to access
the SCDS. Turn the wheel all the way right and position the front of the fender splash shield aside.
^ On all Mark VIII vehicles (except 1993), the speed control servo is located underneath the left
front fender splash shield in front of the left front wheel.

SCDS Identification
The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) involved in Recall 05S28 and the revised SCDS is
illustrated below. See Figure 1.
Note that the revised SCDS has a different electrical connector. A jumper adapter (which is
included in the parts kit) is required when replacing the old SCDS with the revised SCDS.
SCDS Location
In most late model year vehicles involved in this recall, the SCDS is located on the master cylinder.
In early model year vehicles (1992-1998), the SCDS may be located on the master cylinder but is
often found on a brake line distribution block or on the brake proportioning valve. If in doubt, just
follow the metal brake lines from the master cylinder until the switch is found.
^ On early model year E-Series vehicles, the SCDS is located on the left frame rail.
^ On E-450 models only, remove the 3 screws and position the coolant degas bottle forward to
allow access to the SCDS and servo.
^ On F-53 vehicles, if the SCDS is not located on the master cylinder, it may be located in a brake
line junction block approximately 457 mm (18 in) below the master cylinder. It may be necessary to
reposition wiring harnesses and/or remove add-on equipment in order to locate the switch.
^ On 1993 MARK VIII vehicles, the steering wheel intermediate shaft needs to be disconnected
from the inside of the vehicle and the outside of the vehicle, and then positioned upwards to gain
access to the SCDS.
- When the intermediate steering shaft is disconnected, the steering wheel must be in the LOCK
position to prevent damage to the clockspring.
- During installation of the intermediate steering shaft, new bolts must be installed. Tighten the bolts
to 49 Nm (36 lb-ft).
^ On 1994-1998 MARK VIII vehicles, the SCDS is located underneath the right front fender splash
shield in front of the right front wheel. It is not necessary to remove the right front wheel to access
the SCDS. Turn the wheel all the way right and position the front of the fender splash shield aside.
^ On all Mark VIII vehicles (except 1993), the speed control servo is located underneath the left
front fender splash shield in front of the left front wheel.

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

A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 10658
heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell
phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10676
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

CAUTION: During demagnetizing, the demagnetizer coil will be pulled toward the vehicle. Place a
cloth over the vehicle roof to protect the vehicle surface if contact occurs. Make sure the cloth
covers the front third and the entire width of the roof.

Compass: Description and Operation
A compass and outside temperature display are contained in the overhead console.
The compass and temperature display can be turned off and on by pressing the MODE switch in
the overhead console. The vehicle heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and
NW.
Compass Accuracy
Magnetic mounted devices like antennas and luggage racks should not be located on the front third
of the vehicle roof. Placing these devices near the compass will cause inaccurate directional
readings. If these devices must be used, accuracy may be improved by recalibrating the compass
while the devices are installed on the vehicle.
Driving near power lines, or driving in the area of large iron or steel structures can temporarily
change the compass heading. If the compass remains inaccurate after driving near such objects,
demagnetize the vehicle and recalibrate the compass.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the
northerly direction on maps. This variation is four degrees between the adjacent zones and will
become noticeable as the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting eliminates the
error. Refer to Compass Zone Adjustment.
Temperature, Outside Air
The thermometer sensor is attached to the radiator frame behind the grille. The temperature can be
displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit by pressing the MODE switch.
If the outside temperature falls below 3.3°C (38°F), the display will alternate from ICE to the outside
temperature at a two-second rate for one minute.
The outside air temperature reading can be affected by engine heat when the vehicle is idling or
has been off for less than two hours. The compass and thermometer will limit the increase of the
displayed temperature to one degree per minute at very low speeds or immediately after the
ignition is turned on. After two minutes at a sustained speed of at least 53 km/h (33 mph), effects of
engine heat are minimal and the compass will display the current outside temperature reading.
Temperature decreases are always updated immediately.
If the outside air temperature sensor is short circuited or open, the display will show 60°C (140°F)
or -40°C (-40°F) respectively in place of temperature.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Lamp Out Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10863
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

These 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.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
Check Engine, Service Engine Soon Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (Figure 15) alerts the driver that the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) has detected an OBD II emission-related component or system fault. When this
occurs, an OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set.
^ The MIL is located on the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or ISO standard engine symbol (Figure 16).
^ Power is supplied to the MIL whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.
^ The MIL will remain on in the RUN/START mode as a bulb check during the instrument cluster
proveout for approximately 4 seconds.
^ If the MIL remains on after the bulb check: The PCM illuminates the MIL for an emission related concern and a DTC will be present.
- The instrument cluster will illuminate the MIL if the PCM does not send a control message to the
instrument cluster.
- The PCM is operating in the Hardware Limited Operation Strategy (HLOS).
- The MIL circuit is shorted to ground.
^ If the MIL remains off (during the bulb check): Bulb is damaged.
- MIL circuit is open.
^ To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the Scan Tool must be sent, or three
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a fault.
^ For any MIL concern, GO to Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection.
^ If the MIL blinks at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition could possibly exist.
^ If the MIL blinks erratically, an intermittent open B+ to the bulb or an intermittent short to ground
in the MIL circuit exist. Also, the PCM can reset while cranking if battery voltage is low.

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

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

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11023
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11026
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm

Brake Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
These 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 Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
Typical Brake Pedal Position Switch
The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch (Figure 21) is used by the PCM to disengage the
transmission torque converter clutch and on some applications as an input to the idle speed control
for idle quality. On most applications the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and supplies battery
positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied. On other applications the BPP switch
signal is broadcast over the SCP link via another module to be received by the PCM.
On applications where the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and stoplamp circuit, if all
stoplamp bulbs are burned out (open), high voltage is present at the PCM due to a pull-up resistor
in the PCM. This provides fail-safe operation in the event the circuit to the stop amp bulbs has
failed.

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

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

Late Production
Built AFTER 7/24/2000. Uses the Central Security Module.
How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Center Mounted Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11091
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the

circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

These 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.

Early Production/Late Production Defined
NOTE: The build date can be found on the Vehicle Certification (VC) label.
Early Production
Built BEFORE 7/24/2000. Uses the Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) Module.
Late Production
Built AFTER 7/24/2000. Uses the Central Security Module.
How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11153
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.

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

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Information and Instructions > Page 11243
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Information and Instructions > Page 11246
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Information and Instructions > Page 11278
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11415
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11418
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Brake Pedal Position Switch: Description and Operation
BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
Typical Brake Pedal Position Switch
The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch (Figure 21) is used by the PCM to disengage the
transmission torque converter clutch and on some applications as an input to the idle speed control
for idle quality. On most applications the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and supplies battery
positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied. On other applications the BPP switch
signal is broadcast over the SCP link via another module to be received by the PCM.
On applications where the BPP switch is hard wired to the PCM and stoplamp circuit, if all
stoplamp bulbs are burned out (open), high voltage is present at the PCM due to a pull-up resistor
in the PCM. This provides fail-safe operation in the event the circuit to the stop amp bulbs has
failed.

Early Production/Late Production Defined
NOTE: The build date can be found on the Vehicle Certification (VC) label.
Early Production
Built BEFORE 7/24/2000. Uses the Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) Module.
Late Production
Built AFTER 7/24/2000. Uses the Central Security Module.
How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11520
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN K SFI (2001))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trunk Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11575
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11619
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11622
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

Vanity Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
These 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.

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11721
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Washer Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11850
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Washer Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11853
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11885
Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Fuse And Relay Information
Fuse and Relay Information Fuse Box/Locations and Relay Box/Locations contain views of the
fuse/relay box in which all fuses and relays are identified.
Power Distribution
Power Distribution "Power Distribution" shows the current feed circuit. The Current path is shown
from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses.
Fuse Circuits
Fuse Circuits The first diagram in "Fuse Circuits" 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.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Wiper and Washer Systems > Relays and Modules - Wiper and Washer Systems > Wiper
Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11888
Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

fuse and the first component are shown.
Any subsequent diagrams will show circuits feeding the fuse, all the way back to the battery.
Ground Distribution
Ground Distribution "Ground Distribution" contains the diagrams that show 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 components are shown. These ground connection
details are shown here in order to keep the individual sets of diagrams as uncluttered as possible.
Splices with a large number of wires may be split in order to improve the graphic representation. A
thin line is used to indicate the unity of the splice. The splice is then marked with the additional text
"partial".

Component Identification Information Component Identification Information consists of
(1) A-Z Component List, (2) Component Location Views, and (3) Connector views (Faces).
The A-Z Component List 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. The
Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.
The 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.
Vacuum Motor Operation Vacuum motors operate like electrical solenoids, mechanically pushing or
pulling a shaft between two fixed positions. When vacuum is not applied, the shaft is pushed all the
way out by a spring.
Some vacuum motors can position the actuating arm at any position between fully extended and
fully retracted. The Servo is operated by a control valve that applies varying amounts of vacuum to
the motor. The higher the vacuum level, the greater the retraction of the motor arm. Servo Motors
work nearly the same way as two-position motors, except for the way the vacuum is applied. Servo
Motors are generally larger and provide a calibrated control.
A double diaphragm motor has three positions (it is actually two motors in one housing). When the
top port gets vacuum, the shaft pulls halfway in. When both ports get vacuum, the shaft pulls all the
way in.
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, tall pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
^ Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery. 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.
circuit Numbering
Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification
Circuit Numbering:
Ford has introduced a world-wide uniform system for circuit numbering and wire identification. The
system is called Function, System-Connection, or FSC for short. FSC was developed mainly to
assist in vehicle development and production processes, but is also helpful in troubleshooting
electrical circuits. Function:
The first two digits identify the function of the wire. In this case, the function code includes the letter
"S" to indicate it is an additionally switched function. The function part of the circuit number is the
most helpful to the technician in troubleshooting a circuit.
System-Connection (including branch):
Systems are related to subsets of the vehicle circuitry. Immediately following the system letter code
is the connection number specific to that system. A branch identification is used to differentiate
wires in one connection with the same function.
Wire Identification (wire colors):
The wire identification consists of a basic color and an identification color, and is determined
directly from the wire's circuit number. In the schematics the wire colors are indicated next to the
wires. The basic and identification colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757.
Each function code has a specific basic color associated with it. A colored stripe is used to
differentiate several wires with the same function within one component connector.

Wire Identification Example
Using the circuit number and wire identification used in the Wire Identification Example, we know
the following information about the wire:
Function: 31 = Ground S = Additionally switched circuit
System: AC = Headlamp leveling
Connection: 3 = Switch connection
A = Branch
Size: 1.5 = 1.5 sq.mm
Color: BK = Basic color black (determined by function 31) RD = Identification color red (red stripe).

How to Find and Use These Diagrams
Diagrams are presented in three main categories:
^ Power Distribution Diagrams
^ System Diagrams
^ Grounds Diagrams
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 diagram 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 which 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 of
diagrams. Other components which are connected to the circuit may not be shown unless they
influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1) Each set of diagrams 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. In order to concentrate on the essential parts,
power supply and ground connections are sometimes simplified by a dashed line in the diagrams.
Switch Positions (2) Within the diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (as if
the Ignition Switch were OFF).
Splices (3) An arrow indicates that the splice is not shown completely. If the splice is not shown
completely in the diagram but is complete within the set of diagrams, the number of the diagram
where the splice is completed is indicated next to the arrow.
Boxes (4) A thin dashed box on a diagram indicates a pan of the circuit which is only present for a
particular vehicle model, country, or option. These qualifiers are shown next to the box on the
diagram.
Component Names and Notes (5) Component names are placed on the right hand side of each
component. Any notes that describe switch positions or operating conditions follow the name.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included here.
Component Identification Numbers (6) Each component on each diagram has a component
identification number located to the upper right hand side of the component. By finding this number
in the A-Z Component List, the Component Location description for that component can easily be
found.

Wiper Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
These 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.
