Multifunction Electronic Control Module: Description and Operation
GEM Circuit Protection
Short Circuit/Battery Voltage
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) outputs are designed to withstand continuous exposure to a
short circuit to ground or battery voltage without being damaged.
GEM Feature and Functions
The GEM controls the following features: ^
Wipers/washers (front/rear).
^ Warning chimes.
^ Battery saver.
^ Illuminated entry and courtesy lamps.
^ Driver power window.
^ Accessory delay.
^ 4-wheel drive.
GEM Diagnostics
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) diagnostics are accessible with the New Generation STAR
(NGS) tester and the Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS). The GEM constantly monitors its
subsystems for concerns. If a concern is found in one of the subsystems, the GEM will record the
concern in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
There are three areas of diagnostic information useful when diagnosing the GEM. ^
DTCs - A record of past or present system problems.
^ PIDs - the present state of an input or output.
^ Active Commands - Gives the ability to turn on GEM outputs without activating the inputs
normally associated with the function.
Ignition Switch Positions
The position of the ignition switch is very important to proper Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
operation. Often times, erratic or unexpected operation can be traced to problems on these GEM
inputs. The following is a brief description of five ignition switch positions.
Run
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN and
RUN/ACC input terminals.
Accessory (ACC)
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN/ACC
input terminal only.
Start
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should he present at the GEM
start/clutch depressed input.
Off and Lock
The GEM does not have an OFF or LOCK Switch State input. The GEM will assume the OFF or
LOCK position when there are no RUN,
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment >
Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 53
ACC, or START signals present.
Wiper/Washer Control and Interval Timer
Front Wipers
There are four modes of operation for the front wipers: speed dependent interval, slow, fast, and
wash. These modes are only active with the ignition switch in the RUN or ACC position. Speed
dependent wipers compensate for the extra moisture that accumulates on the windshield at higher
speeds. At higher speeds, the speed dependent feature shortens the delay between wipes when
using the variable interval wiper feature. Delays will automatically adjust at speeds between 16 and
105 kph (10 and 65 mph).
Rear Wiper
There are two modes of operation for the rear wipers, internal and wash. These modes are only
active with the ignition switch in the RUN or ACC positions and both the liftgate and liftgate glass
are closed.
Chime Warning
There are five warning chimes and lamps the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) controls:
Headlights operating without the ignition ON (chime only), door ajar (chime and lamp), key in the
ignition (chime only), driver seat belt warning (chime and lamp), and low washer fluid warning
(chime and lamp).
Battery Saver
The battery saver feature removes extended interior lamp power drains from the battery. The
Generic Electronic Module (GEM) will keep power available for all interior lights and under hood
lamp circuits for 40 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. The battery saver timer is reset
by unlocking doors with remote entry key fob, activating a door ajar switch, or changing the ignition
to RUN or ACC position. If asleep, the GEM will wake-up when: ^
Any door becomes ajar or is closed.
^ The key is inserted or removed.
^ The ignition switch is turned to ACC or RUN.
^ The doors are unlocked with the remote entry key fob.
Courtesy Lamps/Illuminated Entry
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) illuminates the interior courtesy lamps when any door is
ajar. The GEM also provides illuminated entry when the unlock button is used to unlock the vehicle.
All interior courtesy lamps are turned OFF when any of the following occurs: ^
Twenty-five seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and no door is
ajar.
^ The ignition switch is turned to RUN and no door is ajar.
^ Vehicle speed is over 15 mph (a new ajar signal will turn on courtesy lamps only if the vehicle
speed is less than 10 mph).
^ A power door lock command is received from the remote entry key fob and no door is ajar.
Running Board Lamps
The GEM illuminates the running board lamps when the interior lamps are activated and the
ignition switch is not in the RUN position.
Delayed Accessory (GEM only)
The delayed accessory feature provides power to the power windows for ten minutes after the
ignition switch is moved from the RUN to OFF position. If during this ten-minute period either front
door is opened, the delayed accessory relay will be de-energized.
One-Touch Window
The power switch for the driver window control has two detents for the down window control. With
the ignition switch in RUN or ACC, pressing the first detent (normal mode) allows manual down
window control; pressing harder to the second detent (auto) will cause the driver window to
automatically move to the full down position. Pressing either the up or down window switch will
cancel an auto mode operation in progress.

Sunroof / Moonroof Relay: Testing and Inspection
Testing of an ISO relay can be accomplished through the use of three No. 10 (or larger gauge)
jumper wires and a 73 Digital Multimeter. Remove (unplug) the relay to be tested from the engine
compartment fuse junction panel, I/P fuse junction panel or individual connector.
Mini ISO Relay Use the 73 Digital Multimeter to check for the continuity between terminal 85 and all
other terminals. If resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 85 and any other terminal, replace
the relay. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to
connect relay terminals 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. With the 73 Digital
Multimeter set in the volts position, check for voltage at terminal 87A. If battery voltage is not
indicated, replace the relay. If battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal
85 and ground the jumper wire to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 87. If battery
voltage is not indicated, replace the relay.

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

NOTE:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT WILL ERASE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND RESET
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM AND BARO TO THEIR STARTING/BASE VALUES. THE BARO
PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Brakes and Traction Control > Electronic Brake
Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Electronic Brake
Control Module: > 98-23-10 > Nov > 98 > Engine - Lean Driveability Symptoms > Page 127
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
COMPONENTS
The Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) consists of the anti-lock brake control module and
the hydraulic control unit (HCU).
NOTE: The anti-lock brake control module can be replaced if it is inoperative. If the HCU is
inoperative, the EHCU must be replaced as an assembly.
PURPOSE
The EHCU monitors the electromechanical components of the system. Malfunction of the anti-lock
brake system will cause the EHCU to shut off or inhibit the system. However, normal
power-assisted braking remains. Malfunctions are indicated by the yellow ABS warning indicator in
the instrument cluster.

Digital Multimeter
Special Tools
RELAY COMPONENT TEST
Testing of an ISO relay can be accomplished through the use of three No. 10 (or larger gauge)
jumper wires and a 73 Digital Multimeter. Remove (unplug) the relay to be tested from the engine
compartment fuse junction panel, I/P fuse junction panel or individual connector.
Mini ISO Relay Use 73 Digital Multimeter to check for the continuity between terminal 85 and all
other terminals. If resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 85 and any other terminal, replace
the relay. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to
connect relay terminals 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. With the multimeter set in
the volts position, check for voltage at terminal 87A. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the
relay. If battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal 85 and ground the
jumper wire to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 87. If battery voltage is not
indicated, replace the relay.

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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine
Controls - General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 245
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

INITIALLY CONNECTED TO THE DLC.
3. Connect WDS to vehicle.
4. Select "16 pin", select "All others, except those below", press TICK.
5. Screen shows installation of cable, press TICK.
6. Screen shows to turn ignition ON. DO NOT TURN IGNITION ON. Press TICK.
7. Screen shows progress bar, then screen tells you "No communication can be established with
the PCM" and asks you if you want to retry? Select "NO". With the ignition key still OFF, press
TICK.
8. Screen shows to turn ignition ON. Turn ignition on, press TICK.
9. Screen shows "The PCM installed to this vehicle is blank". You will be prompted to select VIN
from a list of previous sessions. Press TICK.
10. When previous sessions are shown select "None of the above".
11. Screen shows 'To enable WDS to reprogram the PCM with the correct calibration", enter one of
the following: Vehicle Calibration # (7 digits), Tear Tag # (4 digits), or PCM part #, press TICK.
12. Highlight the box next to the selection chosen, and enter ONLY ONE of the selections listed
above. Press TICK.
13. Follow and answer correctly all remaining screens.
14. Once PCM is reprogrammed communication should be reestablished and PATS system can be
reset (if necessary) as per Section 419-01 of the Workshop Manual.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update the affected vehicles and to include an
Application Chart for the affected vehicles.
ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine
Controls - General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 248
ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

- Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.
- Never touch the PCM connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the PCM circuit board.
TESTING
- When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.
- To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.
CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE
- Do not try to disassemble the control unit.
- Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, PCM and radio.
- If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECUs.
- Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.
There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.
CHARGING BY FRICTION
Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.
CHARGING BY INDUCTION
Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.
PRECAUTIONS
Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and testing electronic components.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
The Electronic Engine Control (EEC) system provides optimum control of the engine and
transmission through the enhanced capability of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The EEC
system also has an On-board Diagnostics (OBDII) monitoring system with features and functions to
meet federal regulations on exhaust emissions.
COMPONENTS
The EEC system has two major divisions: hardware and software. The hardware includes the
PCM, Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Module, Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM), Variable Load
Control Module (VLCM), sensors, switches, actuators, solenoids, and interconnecting terminals.
The software in the PCM provides the strategy control for outputs (engine hardware) based on the
values of the inputs to the PCM.
OPERATION
The PCM receives information from a variety of sensor and switch inputs. Based on the strategy
and calibration stored within the memory chip, the PCM generates the appropriate output. The
system is designed to minimize emissions and optimize fuel economy and driveability. The
software strategy controls the basic operation of the engine and transmission, provides the OBD II
strategy, controls the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), communicates to the scan tool [New
Generation Star (NGS), etc.] via the Data Link Connector (DLC), allows for Flash Electrically
Erasable/ Programmable Read Only Memory (FEEPROM), provides idle air and fuel trim, and
controls Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM).

Procedure
Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset allows the scan tool to command the PCM to clear all
emission-related diagnostic information. When resetting the PCM, a DTC P1000 will be stored in
the PCM until all the OBD II system monitors or components have been tested to satisfy a drive
cycle, without any other faults occurring.
The following events occur when a PCM reset is performed:
- Clears the number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Clears the DTCs.
- Clears the freeze frame data.
- Clears oxygen sensor test data.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
New Generation STAR (NGS) and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM reset.
Resetting Keep Alive Random Access Memory (RAM)
Disconnect the battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes. Resetting Keep Alive RAM will
clear learned values the PCM has stored for adaptive systems such as idle and fuel trim.
After Keep Alive RAM has been reset, the vehicle may exhibit certain driveability concerns. It will
be necessary to drive the vehicle to allow the PCM to relearn values for optimum driveability and
performance.

PURPOSE
- The Ignition Control Module (ICM) is incorporated within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The ICM receives engine position and speed information from within the crankshaft position sensor
and desired spark advance information from the PCM.
OPERATION
- The ICM synthesizes a profile ignition pick up signal and ignition diagnostic monitor signal for use
within The PCM.
- The PCM uses this information to determine which ignition coil to fire, calculating the turn
ON/OFF times of the ignition coil required to achieve the correct dwell and spark advance.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic monitor.
The air bag diagnostic monitor continually monitors all air bag system components and wiring
connections for possible faults when the ignition switch is in RUN position.
OPERATION
It does not deploy the air bags in the event of a collision. The air bag diagnostic monitor operates in
the following manner:
- If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a fault in the air bag system, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) will be written to the air bag diagnostic monitor's Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM).
- This DTC will then be displayed on the air bag indicator lamp.
- After servicing, the DTC may then be cleared from NVRAM.
AIR BAG SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Other important features of the air bag diagnostic monitor and its functions within the system are
described below. It is necessary that these key features and functions are well understood.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the
air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on
or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor.
- DTCs may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the
RUN position. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor requires to perform all tests
and verify system faults, if present.
- Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a
two digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a
diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one second pause, then two
flashes, followed by a three second pause.
- If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be
heard, indicating that system service is required.
CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it.
Do not attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse.
- If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor
will attempt to remove deployment power by turning on a solid state switch to blow the 10A battery
fuse 2.
- If the 10 A battery fuse has successfully been blown by the air bag diagnostic monitor, the air bag
diagnostic monitor will not attempt to blow it again until the proper fault has been repaired and
cleared (see Diagnostic Trouble Code Clearing procedures for details). The air bag diagnostic
monitor will store both the unwanted deployment DTC and the loss of deployment power DTC. The
loss of deployment power DTC is the highest priority.
- Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the
same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been
corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides
sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event that the battery or battery cables are
damaged in an accident before the center air bag and front air bag sensors close. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery
cable is disconnected.

REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, the backup power supply must be
depleted before repairing or replacing any air bag system components. To deplete the backup
power supply energy, disconnect the battery to starter relay cable and wait one minute.
CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these
charges, damage may result.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the air bag diagnostic monitor and is not replaced
separately.
1. Disconnect the battery cables.
2. Remove the RH cowl side trim panel.
3. Remove the air bag diagnostic monitor.
1 Disconnect the two electrical connectors.
2 Remove the four screws.
3 Remove the air bag diagnostic monitor.

Compressor/Pump Relay: Description and Operation
A Solid State Relay is used in the air suspension system for compressor control. The relay
incorporates a custom power MOSFET and ceramic hybrid circuitry. The relay switches high
current loads in response to low power signals and is controlled by the logic of the control module.
The compressor relay is energized by the control module to have high current flow from the battery
to the compressor motor.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
A microcontroller-based electronic module controls the air compressor motor (through a solid state
relay), and all system solenoids. The module also provides power to front and rear height sensors.
The module controls vehicle height adjustments by monitoring the two height sensors, vehicle
speed, a steering sensor, acceleration input, the door ajar signal, transfer case signals, and the
brake switch. The module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and contains self-test
and communication software for testing of the vehicle and related components.
The control module is mounted in the passenger compartment inside the instrument panel, above
the radio and temperature controls.
The air suspension system control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin
two-way connector. The control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an incorrect
harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the module. Each is uniquely colored
and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

Power Window Relay: Testing and Inspection
73 Digital Multimeter
Special Tool(s)
Testing of an ISO relay can be accomplished through the use of three No. 10 (or larger gauge)
jumper wires and 73 Digital Multimeter. Remove (unplug) the relay to be tested from the engine
compartment fuse junction panel, I/P fuse junction panel or individual connector.
Mini ISO Relay
Using Digital Multimeter, check for the continuity between terminal 85 and all other terminals. If the
resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 85 and any other terminal, replace the relay. If
resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to connect relay
terminals 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. Use Digital Multimeter set in the volts
position to check for voltage at terminal 87A. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the relay. If
battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal 85 and ground the jumper wire
to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 87. If battery voltage is not indicated,
replace the relay.
Micro ISO Relay
Use Digital Multimeter to check for the continuity between terminal 2 and all other terminals. If
resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 2 and any other terminal, replace the relay. If
resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to connect relay
terminals 1 and 3 directly to the positive battery terminal. Use Digital Multimeter set in the volts
position to check for voltage at terminal 4. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the relay. If
battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal 2 and ground the jumper wire to
a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 5. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace
the relay.

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FLOAT AND MAGNET
The brake 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.
PURPOSE
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 from either the primary (front) or secondary (rear) system will cause this system
to activate. If the brake fluid level warning switch is inoperative, the brake master cylinder reservoir
must be replaced.

Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
FEATURES
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor:
- Is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages. Sends a signal to the PCM indicating the cylinder head temperature.
- If the temperature exceeds:
130°C (265°F)
the PCM disables four fuel injectors at a time. The PCM will alternate which four injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds:
166°C (330°F)
the PCM disables all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below:
153°C (308°F)
- If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens:
- The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at 121°C (250°F).
- The check gauge warning indicator will illuminate.
- DTCs are set.

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.

> Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Recalls for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08
> Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 506
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.

05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 545
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.

> Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): >
05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 546
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.

9. Cut approximately 3 mm (1/8 in) off the grease tube applicator tip.
10. Before installing the jumper harness, fill the vehicle harness end of the jumper (male pin
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.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
An A/C pressure cut off switch is used on all vehicles to interrupt operation of the A/C compressor
in the event of high system discharge pressures. The switch is located in the discharge line
between the A/C compressor and the A/C condenser core.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch,
HVAC > Component Information > Description and Operation > A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch > Page 614
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader-type fitting on the top of the suction
accumulator/drier. 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/drier to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops to 151-165 kPa (22.0-24.0
psi). The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi). This is due to
the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant and the requirement of the system pressure
to reach 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi) to close the A/C cycling pressure switch contacts.
These contacts control the electrical circuit to the A/C clutch field coil. When the A/C cycling
pressure switch contacts close, voltage is supplied to energize the A/C clutch for operation of the
A/C compressor. When the A/C cycling pressure switch contacts open, the A/C clutch is
de-energized and operation of the A/C compressor stops.
The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing. This prevents icing of the A/C
evaporator core and blockage of airflow.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 in the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the fuel pump and sender assembly as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop
Manual.
NOTE:
THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THE SENDING UNIT FROM THE REMOVED PUMP. THE
REPLACEMENT PUMP HAS A NEW SENDER FITTED ALREADY. THIS SENDER IS ORIENTED
DIFFERENTLY FROM THE REMOVED PART. THIS WILL PUT THE FLOAT CLOSER TO THE
CENTER OF THE TANK.
3. Remove the pressure transducer from the removed pump and install it onto the new pump. Make
sure the electrical connection is made.
4. Using a new green seal (included with the pump), reinstall the pump and sender into the tank as
outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
5. Reinstall the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
NOTE:
WHEN THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED, SOME ABNORMAL DRIVE
SYMPTOMS MAY OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE RELEARNS ITS ADAPTIVE STRATEGY. THE
VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN 16 km (10 MILES) OR MORE TO RELEARN THE
STRATEGY.

ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 in the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the fuel pump and sender assembly as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop
Manual.
NOTE:
THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THE SENDING UNIT FROM THE REMOVED PUMP. THE
REPLACEMENT PUMP HAS A NEW SENDER FITTED ALREADY. THIS SENDER IS ORIENTED
DIFFERENTLY FROM THE REMOVED PART. THIS WILL PUT THE FLOAT CLOSER TO THE
CENTER OF THE TANK.
3. Remove the pressure transducer from the removed pump and install it onto the new pump. Make
sure the electrical connection is made.
4. Using a new green seal (included with the pump), reinstall the pump and sender into the tank as
outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
5. Reinstall the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
NOTE:

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

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

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

Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
FEATURES
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor:
- Is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages. Sends a signal to the PCM indicating the cylinder head temperature.
- If the temperature exceeds:
130°C (265°F)
the PCM disables four fuel injectors at a time. The PCM will alternate which four injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds:
166°C (330°F)
the PCM disables all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below:
153°C (308°F)
- If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens:
- The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at 121°C (250°F).
- The check gauge warning indicator will illuminate.
- DTCs are set.

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.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))

Page 1002
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

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

Page 1003
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis >
Page 1004
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and

Technical Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis >
Page 1005
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.

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.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))

Page 1029
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.

Page 1030
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis >
Page 1031
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.

Page 1032
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.

WARNING:
- The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. never attempt to service
any part of the system until it has cooled. Be especially careful when working around the three way
catalytic converter. The temperature of the three way catalytic converter rises to a high level after
only a few minutes of engine operation.
- The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by tuning off the air suspension switch
located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of
the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
1. Turn the ignition key off.
2. Disconnect the two Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) electrical connectors. 3. Raise and support
the vehicle.
4. Use Oxygen Sensor Wrench to remove the LH and RH HO2Ss.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

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

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

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

Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
Description
The inertia fuel shutoff switch:
- is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump.
- shuts off the fuel pump in the event of a collision.
- consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
Operation
When a sharp impact occurs:
- the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the
electrical contacts of the inertia fuel shutoff switch and shuts off the fuel pump.
- Once the inertia fuel shutoff switch is open, the inertia fuel shutoff switch must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle.
If a collision occurs:
- the electrical contacts in the inertia fuel shutoff switch open.
- the fuel pump automatically shuts off, even if the engine does not stop running.
- the engine will stop a few seconds after the fuel pump stops.
- it is impossible to restart engine until the inertia fuel shutoff switch, located on the LH side lower
back panel in the luggage compartment, is manually reset.
NOTE:In the reset position, the button can be pressed an additional 1.59 mm (0.0625 inch) against
a spring. This is a normal condition.
WARNING: Do not reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch until the complete fuel system has been
inspected for leaks or damage to vehicle or personal injury may occur.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Testing and Inspection
To avoid potential misdiagnosis and the unnecessary replacement of components, it is
recommended that diagnosis and testing begin with Diagnostic Routines (Diagnosis by Symptom)
at the Powertrain Management level. The Diagnostic Routines will lead the technician through the
logical and methodical testing of a "specific" subsystem and it's related wiring and components.

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

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

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The front air bag sensors are electrical switches that react to frontal impacts according to direction
and force. The primary sensors measure the crash severity.
OPERATION
Primary crash sensors are "hard-wired" to the air bags and operate in the following manner:
- They discriminate between impacts that require air bag inflation and impacts that do not.
- When an impact occurs that requires air bag inflation, the sensor contacts close, completing the
electrical circuit necessary for system operation.
- The safing sensor and one primary crash sensor must be activated simultaneously to inflate the
air bag.
The air bag system is designed to operate in frontal or front-angled collisions. The driver side air
bag module and passenger side air bag module should activate in a crash with severe frontal
deceleration, more severe than hitting a parked car of similar size and weight head-on at about 45
km/h (28 mph).
Because the air bag system senses severity of the crash rather than vehicle speed, some frontal
collisions at speeds above 45 km/h (28 mph) may not be severe enough to require air bag inflation.
The sensors in the vehicle determine if air bag inflation is required in the following manner:
1. During severe frontal deceleration caused by an impact that decelerates the vehicle in the
forward direction, both a radiator primary crash
sensor and a safing sensor will activate.
2. When a primary and safing sensor are closed at the same time, electrical current will flow,
igniting the driver side air bag module and
passenger side air bag module.

Impact Sensor: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
WARNING:
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air
bag system is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for
deformation. If damaged, the sensor should be replaced whether or not the air bag is deployed.
- Repair is made by replacement only. If a part is replaced and the new part does not correct the
condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.
- To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, the backup power supply must be depleted
before repairing or replacing any air bag system components. To deplete the backup power supply
energy, disconnect the battery to starter relay cable and wait one minute.
1. Disconnect the battery cables.
2. Remove the radiator air deflector.
1 Remove the push clips.
2 Remove the radiator air deflector.
3. Disconnect the air bag sensor electrical connector (RH shown, LH similar).

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

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

Four Wheel Air Suspension
Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
Two height sensors are mounted on the vehicle. The sensors send a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensors have a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8-10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensors are mounted to the suspension at a point where
full suspension travel at the wheel is relative to 80 mm (3 in) of travel at the height sensor. The
front height sensor upper socket is attached to the bracket to the frame at the upper control arm
mounting area and the lower height sensor socket is attached to the upper control arm bracket.
The rear height sensor is attached between the No. 5 frame crossmember (upper socket) and the
panhard rod (lower socket). Replace a sensor as a unit.
When the height sensor gets shorter the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air compressor
to turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the sensor gets longer the vehicle is
being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim
height level.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Rear Air Suspension
When the height sensor gets shorter the rear of the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air
compressor to turn on and pump compressed air to the air springs. When the sensor gets longer
the rear of the vehicle is being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the air springs to
lower the vehicle back to its trim height level.
One height sensor is mounted on the vehicle. The sensor sends a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensor has a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8 to 10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensor is mounted to the suspension at a point where

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed,
a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through
fourth gears or first through third gears only. The PCM energizes the transmission control indicator
lamp (TCIL) when the switch has been pressed to cancel overdrive. The TCIL indicates overdrive
cancel mode activated (lamp on) and electronic pressure control (EPC) circuit shorted (lamp
flashing) or monitored sensor failure.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 1323
To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

Digital Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 1324
When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1412
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1414
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1420
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1421
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1422
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1423
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1424
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1494
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

DESCRIPTION
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1506
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 adjusting sleeve.
The three basic alignment angles are camber, caster and toe. Camber and toe affect tire wear and
directional stability, caster affects directional stability only. Camber, caster and toe settings change
when the vehicle is loaded. The specifications given in this section are static settings with the
vehicle unloaded.
CAMBER
Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the wheels at the top. When the wheels tilt out at the top
the camber is positive (+). When the wheels tilt in at the top the camber is negative (-). The amount
of camber is measured in degrees from vertical.
Steering axis inclination (included angle) is the center line drawn through the ball joints when
viewed from the front.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1507
CASTER
Caster is the tilting of the steering axis either forward or backward from vertical. A backward tilt is
positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
TOE
Toe is a measurement of how much the front of the wheels are turned in or out from the
straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+)(toe in). When the wheels
are turned out, toe is negative (-)(toe out). Toe is measured in degrees, from side to side and
totaled.
Toe should only be checked and adjusted after the camber and caster have been set to the proper
specifications.
Wheel Track
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1508
WHEEL TRACK
By design the vehicle has a front track that is wider at the front than the rear. Front track is the
distance between the two front tires; rear track is the distance between the two rear tires.
Dogtracking
DOGTRACKING
Dogtracking is the condition where the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned

ISSUE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate and Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) P0300 through P0308 may be stored in memory and/or the engine may run rough. This
may be caused by water intrusion into the spark plug well causing the spark to travel directly to
ground instead of through the spark plug, resulting in a misfire.
ACTION: Inspect the spark plugs for signs of moisture and replace the spark plugs and spark plug
wires. Apply dielectric compound on all of the spark plug wire boots. The new spark plug wires and
the dielectric compound should reduce the possibility of misfire if water intrusion into the spark plug
well occurs. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Inspect and remove any water that may be sitting in the spark plug wells by blowing out the
water using compressed air.
2. Inspect the spark plugs for signs of "tracking." If "tracking" is present, there may be a fine,
broken "pencil" line on the blue rings only and/or a thick smudgy series of continuous lines
depending on how long the vehicle was operated while misfiring. These lines may feel like a crack
if the fingernail is rubbed across the lines. Refer to Figure 1.
3. If "tracking" is found, replace all eight (8) of the spark plugs and torque the new Spark Plugs
(AWSF-32-PP) to 16-20 N.m (12-15 lb-ft).
4. Replace all eight (8) of the Spark Plug Wires with new wires (F6PZ-12259-HC). Be sure to apply
Silicone Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) on the inside of all spark plug

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug Construction
PURPOSE
Ignites the combustion mixture.
LOCATION
Threaded into the cylinder head, at the combustion chamber.
OPERATION
The spark plug provides a path for the high current of the secondary circuit to flow to ground. The
only paths for this current are through the ground electrode and center electrode across the spark
gap. The spark produced when the current jumps the gap and ignites the air/fuel mixture in the
cylinder.
Spark Plug Heat Range
CONSTRUCTION
The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator is, the smaller the heatsink area will be and this will cause
the spark plug to be hotter.
- Change high voltage pulses to spark at gap which ignites fuel and air mixture. - Have a platinum
enhanced active electrode for long life.
FEATURES The active electrode is different for LH and RH spark plugs:
- On the RH side (cylinders 1, 2, 3, and 4) are type AWSF-32PG. - On the LH side (cylinders 5, 6, 7
and 8) are type AWSF-32P.
NOTE: The replacement spark plugs are AWSF-32PP; both electrodes are platinum enhanced so it
can replace either a RH or LH spark plug.

1. If compression improves considerably, the piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, the valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on the piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may be
leaking between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75 percent of the highest reading.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart
above.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of clean engine oil meeting
Ford specification ESE-M2C153-E on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the
compression pressure check on these cylinders.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Cylinder Leakage Test
When a cylinder produces a low reading, the use of Engine Cylinder Leak Detection/Air
Pressurization Kit will be helpful in pinpointing the exact cause.
The leakage detector is inserted in the spark plug hole, the piston is brought up to dead center on
the compression stroke, and compressed air is admitted.
Once the combustion chamber is pressurized, a special gauge included in the kit will read the
percentage of leakage. Leakage exceeding 20 percent is excessive.
While the air pressure is retained in the cylinder, listen for the hiss of escaping air. A leak at the
intake valve will be heard in the throttle body. A leak at the exhaust valve can be heard at the tail
pipe. Leakage past the piston rings will be audible at the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
connection. If air is passing through a blown head gasket to an adjacent cylinder, the noise will be
evident at the spark plug hole of the cylinder into which the air is leaking. Cracks in the cylinder
block or gasket leakage into the cooling system may be detected by a stream of bubbles in the
radiator.

Drive Belt: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Belt Tension
NOTE: Drive belt tension is not adjustable.
The drive belt tensioner automatically adjusts drive belt tension.
Check the automatic drive belt tensioner:
1. With the engine off, check for proper drive belt routing. Service as required. 2. Rotate the drive
belt tensioner and check for a binding or frozen condition. Replace components as required.
Cracking/Chunking/Wear
V-Ribbed Belt With Cracks (Acceptable)
V-Ribbed Belt With Chunks Of Rib Missing (Not Acceptable)
Under severe operating conditions (high temperatures, low humidity), drive belt rib cracking can
occur at less than 48,000 km (30,000 miles). Drive belt rib cracking has no effect on belt
performance. Drive belt "chunking" describes a condition when the rubber material actually chunks
out between the rib cracks. The drive belt must be replaced if chunking occurs.
Drive Belt Misalignment
CAUTION: Incorrect drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may cause the
drive belt to come off the drive pulleys.
Non-standard replacement drive belts may track differently or improperly. If a replacement drive
belt tracks improperly, replace it with an original equipment drive belt to avoid performance failure
or loss of belt.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview > Page 1611
With the engine running, check drive belt tracking If the (A) edge of the drive belt rides beyond the
edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear may occur. Ensure the (B) drive belt rides correctly
on the pulley. If a drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the following:
Visually check the drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad surface. If the drive
belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will be out of position. This will
result in chirp and squeal noises.
^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges) for
excessive wobble. Replace components as required.
^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting properly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.
Drive Belt Noise/Flutter
NOTE: Tensioner is shown in free-state position against arm travel stops.
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged pulley or an improperly aligned pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley, look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.
Drive belt squeal is an intermittent noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on a pulley during
certain conditions, such as engine start up, rapid engine acceleration, or A/C clutch engagement.
Drive belt squeal can occur:
1. If the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications:
^ The A/C system is overcharged.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview > Page 1612
^ The A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
2. If the A/C OFF equalized pressure (the common discharge and suction pressure that occurs
after several minutes) exceeds specifications. 3. If any of the accessories are damaged, or have a
worn or damaged bearing or internal torsional resistance above normal. All accessories should be
rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.
4. If fluid gets on the drive belt. This includes power steering fluid, engine coolant, engine oil or air
conditioning system lubricant. If fluid does get
on the drive belt during service, clean the drive belt with soap and water and thoroughly rinse with
clean water. The drive belt does not have to be replaced if no apparent damage has occurred.
5. If the drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the drive belt tensioner arm to
go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain
load conditions, which will release tension to the drive belt. If the drive belt tensioner is resting on
the stop, replace the drive belt.
NOTE: The drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
6. If the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.

Article 03-7-9 is being republished in its entirety to update the Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 1997-2002 Expedition 4X4 and 1998-2002 Navigator 4X4 vehicles equipped with
4-wheel air suspension, may exhibit repeat air compressor drier failures. The drier cap may
become detached from the drier body, or the drier body may be broken at the neck near the
compressor head. This may be due to incomplete or incorrect system diagnosis that leads to
replacement of only the original air suspension compressor, despite the fact that the compressor is
not the root cause of the concern. Compressor failure in these instances is only a symptom of an
underlying system problem.
ACTION Refer to the service information contained in this TSB for information on proper diagnosis
of system issues. Be sure to check the system for proper pneumatic function as described during
service to ensure a robust repair.
SERVICE INFORMATION
Overview
Proper pneumatic function can be tested by verifying that both the front AND the rear of the vehicle
can be raised and lowered one inch using a scan tool, and by monitoring the height sensor PIDs for
movement while the vehicle is in the service bay. If the vehicle does not raise and lower normally,
check the solenoid valves and air lines for blockages and/or restrictions. Replace any blocked or
restricted solenoids and air lines. ALWAYS check for proper pneumatic function before returning
the vehicle back to the customer.
NOTE
DISCONNECTING AN AIR LINE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS AS HIGH PRESSURE IS
VENTED UNCONTROLLED.
If diagnostics lead to compressor/dryer assembly replacement, use the following service procedure
to insure complete and thorough service.
1. Using the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester, vent the compressor/drier assembly.
2. Using regulated shop air, blow out the air lines from the drier to the front fill solenoid valve and
from the drier to the rear fill solenoid valve, before installing the new compressor assembly.
3. Replace the air suspension compressor assembly. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05
for compressor installation instructions.
4. Replace the front fill solenoid. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05 for replacement
instructions. The front fill solenoid must be replaced because in these cases, it may have sustained
damage from the drier desiccant or other contaminants.
5. Connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester to the vehicle while the vehicle is parked in the
service bay with the engine running.

6. Install a pressure gauge capable of reading 400 PSI at the front air line (Figure 1). Using the
scan tool, command the compressor ON. Check the output of the compressor on the gauge:
a. If the compressor does not output at least 110 PSI within 30 seconds, replace the compressor
again and retest.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT THE SUSPENSION RAISES PROPERLY.
7. Using the scan tool, command the front of the vehicle to raise up one inch. The front suspension
should rise one inch in 25 seconds or less.
a. If the compressor output is near 300 PSI, check4or air line or solenoid restrictions, repair as
necessary and retest. Otherwise, proceed to Step 7b.
NOTE
SUSPENSION UPWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF THE
FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD DECREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
b. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT raise, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves or pinched air
lines. If an issue is found, repair as required and repeat Step 7 to verify proper operation.
c. If no problem found, continue to Step 8.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT SUSPENSION PROPERLY.
8. If the front of the vehicle DOES raise, use the scan tool to command the front of the vehicle to
lower one inch. The front suspension should lower one inch in 20 seconds or less.
NOTE
SUSPENSION DOWNWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF
THE FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD INCREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
a. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT lower, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or pinched air lines. Repair air
lines or replace solenoid valves as required.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the rear. Command the rear of the vehicle, and monitor the rear height
sensor PID. Voltages should increase when the vehicle is lowered, and decrease when the vehicle
is raised. If the rear of the vehicle does not raise and lower as commanded, inspect the rear
pneumatic system for leaks, inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or
pinched air lines, and repair as necessary.

ISSUE The majority of repeat heater core leaks are due to high flow rate or use of poor quality
coolant. However, electrolysis should also be checked, especially when repeat repairs have
occurred.
ACTION If the heater core is leaking, review the location of the leakage and check the condition of
the coolant.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Review the location of the leakage and check the condition of the coolant:
a. If leaks are found on the inlet (or outlet) tubes entering / exiting the heater core, it is most likely
due to due to high flow rate - replace the
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Hoses > Heater Hose > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 1724
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

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
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 1893
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.

ISSUE This TSB article describes Ford Motor Company's position on the use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
ACTION
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Coolant: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 1909
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.

Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 1983
Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with
propylene glycol. Although the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty is not automatically voided upon
the use of a coolant made with propylene glycol, if such use results in damage to the vehicle or its
components, the cost of repairing the damage would not be covered by the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

This 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
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Specifications > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core
Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 2062
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.

h. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
i. If greater than 0.4 V, turn off one item at a time until V drops to less than or equal to 0.4 V. Repair
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.

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Heater Hose: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 2069
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.

h. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
i. If greater than 0.4 V, turn off one item at a time until V drops to less than or equal to 0.4 V. Repair
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.

Condition
Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Condition
1. Perform the fluid level check. 2. Observe the color and odor of the fluid. It should be dark
reddish, not brown or black. Odor can sometimes indicate that there is an overheating
condition clutch disc failure or band failure.
3. Use an absorbent white facial tissue to wipe the fluid level indicator. Examine the stain for
evidence of solids (specks of any kind) and for signs of
antifreeze (gum or varnish on the fluid level indicator).
If specks are present in the fluid or there is evidence of antifreeze, the transmission fluid pan must
be removed for further inspection. If fluid contamination or transmission failure is confirmed by
further evidence of coolant or excessive solids in the transmission fluid pan, the transmission must
be disassembled and completely cleaned and serviced. This includes cleaning the torque converter
and transmission cooling system. Do not perform any further checks before cleaning and servicing
the transmission. During disassembly and assembly, all overhaul checks and adjustments of
clearances and end play must be made. After the transmission has been serviced, all diagnostic
tests and adjustments listed in the Diagnosis by Symptom chart must be completed to ensure the
concern has been corrected.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Level Check
CAUTION:
- The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is below the COLD marked area on the fluid level
indicator and outside temperature is above 10° C (50° F).
- If vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speed, in city traffic, in hot weather, or
vehicle is being used to pull a trailer, the fluid has to cool approximately 30 minutes after engine
had been turned off to obtain an accurate reading.
Under normal circumstances, check the fluid level of the transmission during normal maintenance,
and change it at 48,000 km (30,000 miles) since the vehicle does not use up transmission fluid.
However, if the transmission is not working properly, the transmission may slip or shift slowly or
there may be some sign of fluid leakage. The fluid level should he checked
It is preferable to check the transmission fluid level at normal operating temperature after
approximately 32 km (20 miles) of driving. If necessary, check the fluid level without driving the
vehicle, if the outside temperature is above 10° C (50° F).
When checking fluid at normal operating temperature, the fluid level should be within the HOT
marked area on the fluid level indicator. When the vehicle has not been driven and outside
temperature is above 10° C (50° F), the fluid level should be within the COLD marked area on the
fluid level indicator.
Check Fluid Level as Follows:
NOTE:The fluid level on the fluid level indicator will be different at operating temperature and
ambient temperature. For the correct fluid level reading on the fluid level indicator, follow the
appropriate instructions.
1. With the transmission in Park (P), the engine at curb idle rpm, the foot brakes applied and the
vehicle on a level surface, move the transmission
range selector lever through each range. Allow time in each range to engage the transmission.
Return to Park (P), apply the parking brake and block the wheels. Do not turn off the engine during
the fluid level check.
2. Clean all dirt from the transmission fluid level indicator cap before removing the fluid level
indicator from the fluid fill tube. 3. Pull the fluid level indicator out of the fluid fill tube, wipe it clean,
and push it all the way back into the tube. Make sure it is fully seated. 4. Pull the fluid level indicator
out of the fluid fill tube again and check the fluid level.
If necessary, add enough fluid through the transmission fluid fill tube to raise the level to the correct
position. Do not overfill the transmission. This will result in foaming, loss of fluid through the vent
and possible transmission malfunction. If overfill occurs, excess fluid must be removed.
5. Install the fluid level indicator, making sure it is fully seated in the fluid fill tube.
If the transmission fluid level is checked when the fluid is at ambient temperature, the fluid level
indicator could indicate that fluid should be added if the fluid level indicator is misread. If fluid is
added at this time, an overfill condition could result when the fluid reaches operating temperatures
of 66° C-77° C (150° F-170° F) (fluid level indicator hot to touch).
Underfill can result in transmission loss of engagement or slipping. This condition is most evident in
cold weather or when the vehicle is parked or being driven on a hill.
If the transmission fluid level is correctly established at 10-35° C (50-95° F), it will appear in the
HOT marked area on the fluid level indicator when the transmission reaches an operating
temperature of 66-77° C (150-170° F). Do not overfill or underfill.

NOTE: MERCON Automatic Transmission Fluid is being replaced by MERCON V as a service
fluid.
A fluid level that is too high may cause the fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of
the rotating parts of the transmission. Aerated fluid will cause erratic control pressure, and the
aerated fluid may be forced from the vent.
A fluid level that is too low will affect transmission operation. Low fluid level may indicate fluid leaks
that may cause transmission damage.
CAUTION: Use of any fluid other than specified could result in transmission malfunction or failure.
Use only Motorcraft MERCON or MERCON V Automatic Transmission Fluid or equivalent in all
Ford automatic transmissions. Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type will be used.
Add fluid in 0.24 L (0.5 pint) increments through the fluid filler tube to bring the level to the correct
area on the fluid level indicator. If an overfill occurs, remove excess fluid.

Normal maintenance requires periodic automatic transmission fluid changes. If a major service,
such as a clutch, band, bearing, etc., is required, the automatic transmission fluid will also have to
be removed for service. At this time, the torque converter, transmission cooler, cooler inlet tube and
cooler tube must be thoroughly flushed to remove any dirt. When used under continuous or severe
conditions, the transmission and torque converter should be drained and refilled with fluid as
specified.
Normal Maintenance
Change fluid at 48,279 km (30,000 miles).
Severe Duty/Major Overhaul

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

ISSUE: The oil level indicator illustration shown in the Service Section on Page 161 of the 1997
Expedition Owner's Guide is incorrect.
ACTION: Inform customers who own the subject vehicle that the illustration is incorrect and show
them the correct way to check the oil level. Refer to the following text for more details.
The current Owner's Guide shows an illustration of the oil level indicator as being marked
"ADD-FULL," which is incorrect. The illustration should read "MIN-MAX." The oil level should read
between the "MIN-MAX" level on the indicator. If the level falls below "MIN," add oil as necessary to
return the oil level to between the "MIN-MAX" level. Do not exceed the "MAX" mark or engine
damage may occur.
The following Steps will be printed in all subsequent Owner's Guides using "MIN-MAX" oil level
indicators:
1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
3. Set the parking brake and make sure the gearshift is securely latched in "P" (automatic) or 1st
gear (manual).
4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.
5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level indicator (dipstick).
6. Wipe the indicator clean.
7. Insert the indicator fully and remove it again.
a. If the oil level is between the "MIN-MAX" marks, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
b. If the oil level is below the "MIN" mark, add enough oil to raise the level to within the "MIN-MAX"
marks.
CAUTION:
OIL LEVELS ABOVE THE "MAX" MARK MAY CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE. SOME OIL MUST
THEN BE REMOVED BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
8. Put the indicator back in and make sure it is fully seated.

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

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 2181
Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 2182
when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update the text.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company now produces new vehicles with R-134a fluorescent tracer dye
incorporated into the A/C system and spring lock couplings which contain three (3) O-rings.
ACTION: Leak checking can be performed with the use of a Rotunda UV Lamp (112-R0021) and is
an acceptable alternative to using an electronic leak detector.
Ford Motor Company has begun implementation of spring lock couplings with three (3) O-rings
which provide an improved seal. Field and laboratory tests have shown a 40% improvement in
sealing capability and durable life.
Through field and fleet testing and analysis, it is apparent that lubricating oil used in vehicle
assembly processes is easily misdiagnosed as a refrigerant leak. The presence of oil at
connections is not necessarily an indication of a leaking connection. If oil at a fitting is due to a
leak, fluorescent tracer dye will be present at the location. Any oil escaping from the A/C hoses will
contain dye.
When checking for leaks, be sure to scan all components, fittings and lines of the A/C system with
the UV lamp. The exact location of the leak or leaks can be pinpointed by the bright yellow-green
glow of the tracer dye. Since more than one leak may exist in the system, always inspect each
component.
The best leak detection results will be achieved in conditions of low ambient light. In areas that
cannot be reached by the UV lamp: (1) use a technician's mirror or (2) use a non-fluorescent shop
towel, wipe the suspected area, and then check the towel with the UV lamp for traces of the dye.
After the leak is repaired, the traces of dye can be removed from the previously leaking areas by
using any general purpose oil solvent.
Verify the repair by operating the A/C system for a short while and reinspecting the system with the
UV lamp.
NOTE:
BEGINNING WITH VEHICLES PRODUCED IN MAY 1996, THE TRACER DYE'S FLUORESCENT
LIFESPAN IS THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLES PRODUCED BEFORE MAY 1996
CONTAIN A TRACER DYE WITH A LIFESPAN OF ROUGHLY 500 HOURS OF NC SYSTEM
USE, AFTER WHICH TIME ANOTHER INFUSION OF DYE WOULD BE REQUIRED. REFER TO
TSB 94-26-6 AND 95-21-4 IF ADDITIONAL TRACER DYE OR INFORMATION IS REQUIRED.

Master Cylinder Bleeding
WARNING:
^ brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. avoid contact with eyes. wash hands
thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get
medical attention immediately.
CAUTION:
^ Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep
the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid
that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
^ Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or
plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
NOTE:
^ When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air may
get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic
system after it has been properly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with
pressure bleeding equipment Brake Bleeder.

^ This procedure only needs to be performed if the 4 Wheel Anti-lock Brake System (4WABS)
Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) has been replaced.
^ One conventional pressure bleed cycle consists of advancing the brake pedal to its depressed
position, opening the rear disc brake caliper bleeder screw, allowing fluid to be released into the
waste container, closing the rear disc brake caliper bleeder screw and releasing the brake pedal to
its full upright position.
^ Performing the New Generation Star (NGS) program routine drives entrapped air from the
otherwise inaccessible lower section of the 4WABS valve into the upper sections (accessible by
bleeding the brakes). Subsequent bleedings remove the air from the system.
^ Add recommended brake fluid as necessary throughout the procedure.
PROCEDURE
1. Connect a clear waste line to the RH rear disc brake caliper bleeder screw and the other end in
a container partially filled with recommended brake
fluid.
2. With the RH rear disc brake caliper bleeder screw open, cycle the brake pedal until no more air
is seen in the waste line.

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.

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.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2436
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.
Glossary of Terms

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2442
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2443
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2444
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2450
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2451
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2452
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2453
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2454
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.
Once the concern is narrowed down to a symptom/condition. proceed to NVH Condition and
Symptom Categories.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 2524
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Powertrain/Drivetrain Mount Neutralizing
WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the powertrain/drivetrain mount fasteners.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. CAUTION:
Do not twist or strain the powertrain/drivetrain mounts.

5. Raise and support the vehicle.
6. Tighten the powertrain/drivetrain mount fasteners.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the system for normal operation.
Exhaust System Neutralizing
WARNING:
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is harmful to health and potentially lethal. Repair
exhaust system leaks immediately. Never operate the engine in an enclosed area.
WARNING:
Exhaust system components are hot.
Note:
Neutralize the exhaust system to relieve strain on mounts which can be sufficiently bound up to
transmit vibration as if grounded.

1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Spin the tire by hand to check the wheel bearings for roughness.

Runout
TEST DESCRIPTION
Excessive radial and lateral runout of a wheel and tire assembly can cause roughness, vibration,
wheel tramp, tire wear, and steering wheel tremor.
Before checking runout and to avoid false readings caused by temporary flat spots in the tires,
check runout only after the vehicle has been driven far enough to warm tires.
The extent of the runout is measured with Radial Runout Gauge. All measurements are made on
the vehicle with the tires inflated to recommended inflation pressures and with the front wheel
bearings adjusted to specifications.
TIRE RUNOUT
Use Radial Runout Gauge to measure (A) radial runout of the tire at the center and outside ribs of
the tread face. Mark the high points of radial runout for future reference. Radial runout should not
exceed specifications.
WHEEL RUNOUT
Measure (B) radial and (C) lateral wheel runout at the positions shown in the illustration. Runout
should not exceed specifications.
Wheel Centering 0-Ring Seal
The front hub and rear axle wheel pilots are fitted with rubber O-rings which help center the wheels.
Remove the O-ring and clean the machined groove and clean and lubricate the O-ring if required.
Replace the O-ring if damaged. O-rings should be pulled on (not pushed) so that the yellow paint
identification stripe is visible after installation.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2550
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2551
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2558
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2559
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2560
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2561
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2562
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2632
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Compression Check: Specifications
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart
above.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of clean engine oil meeting
Ford specification ESE-M2C153-E on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the
compression pressure check on these cylinders.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Gauge Check
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the proper level and that the
battery is properly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as
Compression Tester in No.1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit. With
the ignition switch in the OFF position, use the auxiliary starter switch to 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.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, the piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, the valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on the piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may be
leaking between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75 percent of the highest reading.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Cylinder Leakage Test
When a cylinder produces a low reading, the use of Engine Cylinder Leak Detection/Air
Pressurization Kit will be helpful in pinpointing the exact cause.
The leakage detector is inserted in the spark plug hole, the piston is brought up to dead center on
the compression stroke, and compressed air is admitted.
Once the combustion chamber is pressurized, a special gauge included in the kit will read the
percentage of leakage. Leakage exceeding 20 percent is excessive.
While the air pressure is retained in the cylinder, listen for the hiss of escaping air. A leak at the
intake valve will be heard in the throttle body. A leak at the exhaust valve can be heard at the tail
pipe. Leakage past the piston rings will be audible at the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
connection. If air is passing through a blown head gasket to an adjacent cylinder, the noise will be
evident at the spark plug hole of the cylinder into which the air is leaking. Cracks in the cylinder
block or gasket leakage into the cooling system may be detected by a stream of bubbles in the
radiator.

Expansion/Freeze Plug: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
1. Use Slide Hammer to remove the cylinder block core plug. 2. Inspect the cylinder block plug
bore for any damage that would interfere with the proper sealing of the plug. If the cylinder block
plug bore is
damaged, bore for the next oversize plug.
NOTE: Oversize plugs are identified by the "OS " stamped in the flat located on the cup side of the
plug.
INSTALLATION
Coat the cylinder block core plug and bore lightly with Thread Lock 262 E2FZ-19554-B or
equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G351-A6 and install the cylinder block core plug.
Cup Type ^
Use a fabricated tool to seat the cup type cylinder block core plug.
CAUTION: Do not contact the flange when installing a cup type cylinder block core plug. This could
damage the sealing edge and result in leakage. When installed, the flanged edge must be below
the chamfered edge of the bore to effectively seal the bore.
Expansion-Type ^
Use a fabricated tool to seat the expansion type cylinder block core plug.
CAUTION: Do not contact the crown when installing a cup type cylinder block core plug. This could
expand the plug before seating and result in leakage.

occur at less than 48,000 km (30,000 miles). Drive belt rib cracking has no effect on belt
performance. Drive belt "chunking" describes a condition when the rubber material actually chunks
out between the rib cracks. The drive belt must be replaced if chunking occurs.
Drive Belt Misalignment
CAUTION: Incorrect drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may cause the
drive belt to come off the drive pulleys.
Non-standard replacement drive belts may track differently or improperly. If a replacement drive
belt tracks improperly, replace it with an original equipment drive belt to avoid performance failure
or loss of belt.

With the engine running, check drive belt tracking If the (A) edge of the drive belt rides beyond the
edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear may occur. Ensure the (B) drive belt rides correctly
on the pulley. If a drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the following:
Visually check the drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad surface. If the drive
belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will be out of position. This will
result in chirp and squeal noises.
^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges) for
excessive wobble. Replace components as required.
^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting properly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.
Drive Belt Noise/Flutter
NOTE: Tensioner is shown in free-state position against arm travel stops.
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged pulley or an improperly aligned pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley, look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.
Drive belt squeal is an intermittent noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on a pulley during
certain conditions, such as engine start up, rapid engine acceleration, or A/C clutch engagement.
Drive belt squeal can occur:
1. If the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications:
^ The A/C system is overcharged.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories > Drive
Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 2927
^ The A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
2. If the A/C OFF equalized pressure (the common discharge and suction pressure that occurs
after several minutes) exceeds specifications. 3. If any of the accessories are damaged, or have a
worn or damaged bearing or internal torsional resistance above normal. All accessories should be
rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.
4. If fluid gets on the drive belt. This includes power steering fluid, engine coolant, engine oil or air
conditioning system lubricant. If fluid does get
on the drive belt during service, clean the drive belt with soap and water and thoroughly rinse with
clean water. The drive belt does not have to be replaced if no apparent damage has occurred.
5. If the drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the drive belt tensioner arm to
go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain
load conditions, which will release tension to the drive belt. If the drive belt tensioner is resting on
the stop, replace the drive belt.
NOTE: The drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
6. If the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Procedure > Page 2939
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2945
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2953
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Procedure > Page 2954
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2955
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2956
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2957
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Procedure > Page 3026
Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Procedure > Page 3027
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or

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

Article No. 97-6-26
03/17/97
^ ENGINE - CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL IN OWNER'S GUIDE INCORRECT
^ OIL - CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL IN OWNER'S GUIDE INCORRECT
LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: The oil level indicator illustration shown in the Service Section on Page 161 of the 1997
Expedition Owner's Guide is incorrect.
ACTION: Inform customers who own the subject vehicle that the illustration is incorrect and show
them the correct way to check the oil level. Refer to the following text for more details.
The current Owner's Guide shows an illustration of the oil level indicator as being marked
"ADD-FULL," which is incorrect. The illustration should read "MIN-MAX." The oil level should read
between the "MIN-MAX" level on the indicator. If the level falls below "MIN," add oil as necessary to
return the oil level to between the "MIN-MAX" level. Do not exceed the "MAX" mark or engine
damage may occur.
The following Steps will be printed in all subsequent Owner's Guides using "MIN-MAX" oil level
indicators:
1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
3. Set the parking brake and make sure the gearshift is securely latched in "P" (automatic) or 1st
gear (manual).
4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.
5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level indicator (dipstick).
6. Wipe the indicator clean.
7. Insert the indicator fully and remove it again.
a. If the oil level is between the "MIN-MAX" marks, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
b. If the oil level is below the "MIN" mark, add enough oil to raise the level to within the "MIN-MAX"
marks.
CAUTION:
OIL LEVELS ABOVE THE "MAX" MARK MAY CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE. SOME OIL MUST
THEN BE REMOVED BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
8. Put the indicator back in and make sure it is fully seated.

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

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 3140
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
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 3141
Machining of aluminum heads and blocks is an unacceptable field practice for quality control
purposes of flatness and surface finish standards. Removing material will also raise the risk of
internal reciprocating components striking each other, as well as changing the emissions
calibration of the engine. Machining practices of aluminum blocks and heads are not reimbursable.
Ford Remanufacturers are authorized to perform this procedure and have the necessary
equipment to put the specified surface finish on the head within original factory limits.
Installation Onto the Cylinder Block Surface
WARNING
ANY GASKET SEALING AIDS WHICH ARE NOT LIMITED TO, AND INCLUDE AVIATION
CEMENT, COPPER SPRAYS, OR GLUES ARE NOT TO BE USED. THE GASKET MUST BE
FITTED DRY WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTAL SEALING AIDS. ATTEMPTS TO SEAL WITH THESE
COMPOUNDS WILL CAUSE HEAD SHIMMING AND/OR NEW LEAK PATHS. THESE
COMPOUNDS HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE EMISSIONS SENSORS TO FAIL
THEREBY TRIPPING FAULT CODES IN THE PCM.
Ensure that all surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder head, and gasket are fully free of any solid or
liquid contamination and have been prepared for assembly using Motorcraft Metal Surface Cleaner,
F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent. Also ensure that any residual dirt on the engine was
removed successfully from the surrounding areas of the block to head face of the head and the
block.
Using Workshop Manual procedures, assemble the head to the block carefully. Do not allow the
gasket surfaces to scrape or bang against other engine parts. The head may pick up material along
the way, if this is allowed. Once in place, with dowels properly aligned to the head and ensuring
that the head is fully square, seated, and resting on the block deck in a level condition, install new
"torque-to-yield" cylinder head bolts to a finger tight condition. Refer to the appropriate model year
Workshop Manual for the procedure to torque the head bolts in the correct sequence and at the
intervals specified. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a warped head, and damaged
head bolt threads.
Do not use "cheater pipes" on torque wrenches. Use a known quality, calibrated torque wrench.
Pull evenly and steady on each bolt. Do not exert side pressures on the bolt hex, which can disrupt
the integrity of the bolt head and give a false reading on the final torque value of the fastener.
Once the engine is fully reassembled, be sure that fluid levels have been topped off as required for
the operation. When the engine is ready for starting, ensure that the engine 6i1 pump is (was)
primed properly and is in a "ready to start" condition with all engine oil galleys having been charged
with oil.
WARNING
DO NOT RACE THE ENGINE UPON INITIAL STARTUP. MAINTAIN ENGINE IDLE TO BUILD OIL
PRESSURE. USE OF A MECHANICAL PRESSURE GAUGE WILL ENSURE THAT OIL FLOW
HAS DEVELOPED ON THE PUMP'S PRESSURE SIDE. A DEFECTIVE GAUGE OR LIGHT IN
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NOT VERIFY PRESSURE HAS BEEN OBTAINED. SEVERE
INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT IF PRESSURE IS NOT OBSERVED AND
STEADILY MAINTAINED.
Allow a warm up period, which brings the engine to normal operating temperature. Check for leaks
around the gasket joints of the head, front cover, and associated component parts. The vehicle
should be road tested within normal guidelines to raise the engine to operating temperature and
verify the repair is sound.
Shut down the engine, allow for a cool-down and drain-back period to enable fluids to return to
levels. Check fluid levels using owner guide recommendations (dipstick, sight gages, etc.).

ISSUE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate and Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) P0300 through P0308 may be stored in memory and/or the engine may run rough. This
may be caused by water intrusion into the spark plug well causing the spark to travel directly to
ground instead of through the spark plug, resulting in a misfire.
ACTION: Inspect the spark plugs for signs of moisture and replace the spark plugs and spark plug
wires. Apply dielectric compound on all of the spark plug wire boots. The new spark plug wires and
the dielectric compound should reduce the possibility of misfire if water intrusion into the spark plug
well occurs. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Inspect and remove any water that may be sitting in the spark plug wells by blowing out the
water using compressed air.
2. Inspect the spark plugs for signs of "tracking." If "tracking" is present, there may be a fine,
broken "pencil" line on the blue rings only and/or a thick smudgy series of continuous lines
depending on how long the vehicle was operated while misfiring. These lines may feel like a crack
if the fingernail is rubbed across the lines. Refer to Figure 1.
3. If "tracking" is found, replace all eight (8) of the spark plugs and torque the new Spark Plugs
(AWSF-32-PP) to 16-20 N.m (12-15 lb-ft).
4. Replace all eight (8) of the Spark Plug Wires with new wires (F6PZ-12259-HC). Be sure to apply
Silicone Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) on the inside of all spark plug
wire boots.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug Construction
PURPOSE
Ignites the combustion mixture.
LOCATION
Threaded into the cylinder head, at the combustion chamber.
OPERATION
The spark plug provides a path for the high current of the secondary circuit to flow to ground. The
only paths for this current are through the ground electrode and center electrode across the spark
gap. The spark produced when the current jumps the gap and ignites the air/fuel mixture in the
cylinder.
Spark Plug Heat Range
CONSTRUCTION
The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator is, the smaller the heatsink area will be and this will cause
the spark plug to be hotter.
- Change high voltage pulses to spark at gap which ignites fuel and air mixture. - Have a platinum
enhanced active electrode for long life.
FEATURES The active electrode is different for LH and RH spark plugs:
- On the RH side (cylinders 1, 2, 3, and 4) are type AWSF-32PG. - On the LH side (cylinders 5, 6, 7
and 8) are type AWSF-32P.
NOTE: The replacement spark plugs are AWSF-32PP; both electrodes are platinum enhanced so it
can replace either a RH or LH spark plug.

Compression Check: Specifications
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart
above.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of clean engine oil meeting
Ford specification ESE-M2C153-E on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the
compression pressure check on these cylinders.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Gauge Check
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the proper level and that the
battery is properly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as
Compression Tester in No.1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit. With
the ignition switch in the OFF position, use the auxiliary starter switch to 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.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, the piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, the valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on the piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may be
leaking between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75 percent of the highest reading.

Ford specification ESE-M2C153-E on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the
compression pressure check on these cylinders.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Cylinder Leakage Test
When a cylinder produces a low reading, the use of Engine Cylinder Leak Detection/Air
Pressurization Kit will be helpful in pinpointing the exact cause.
The leakage detector is inserted in the spark plug hole, the piston is brought up to dead center on
the compression stroke, and compressed air is admitted.
Once the combustion chamber is pressurized, a special gauge included in the kit will read the
percentage of leakage. Leakage exceeding 20 percent is excessive.
While the air pressure is retained in the cylinder, listen for the hiss of escaping air. A leak at the
intake valve will be heard in the throttle body. A leak at the exhaust valve can be heard at the tail
pipe. Leakage past the piston rings will be audible at the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
connection. If air is passing through a blown head gasket to an adjacent cylinder, the noise will be
evident at the spark plug hole of the cylinder into which the air is leaking. Cracks in the cylinder
block or gasket leakage into the cooling system may be detected by a stream of bubbles in the
radiator.

ISSUE This TSB article describes Ford Motor Company's position on the use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
ACTION
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Coolant: > 01-23-6 > Nov > 01 > Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol
Recommendations > Page 3365
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Coolant: > 01-23-6 > Nov > 01 > Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol
Recommendations > Page 3435
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.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection
FAN SPEEDS
Spin the fan blade by hand. A light resistance should be felt. If there is no resistance or very high
resistance, the minimum and maximum fan speeds must be checked as follows:
Minimum Speed Fan Clutch Requirement Test 1. Use a suitable marker to mark the water pump
pulley, one of the fan blade retaining bolts and the crankshaft pulley. 2. Connect a tachometer to
the engine. 3. Install a throttle adjusting tool. 4. Connect Digital Photoelectric Tachometer. 5. Start
the engine and run it at approximately 1500 RPM until the normal operating temperature has been
achieved.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE
VEHICLE, DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE UNTIL THE FAN BLADE HAS BEEN FIRST
EXAMINED FOR POSSIBLE CRACKS AND SEPARATION.
6. Adjust the engine speed to 2307 RPM. 7. Operate the strobe light at 3000 RPM and aim it at the
water pump pulley. Adjust the engine speed until the light flash and the water pump
pulley mark are synchronized.
8. Aim the strobe light at the fan blade retaining bolts. Adjust the strobe light until the light flash is
synchronized with the marked fan blade
retaining bolt (the fan blade appears to stand still.
9. The fan blade speed must not be greater than 1500 RPM at 3000 water pump RPM. 10. Turn
the engine off. 11. If the fan blade speed was greater than 1500 RPM, replace the water pump.
Maximum Speed Fan Clutch Requirement Test 1. Perform Steps 1 through 5 of the Minimum
Speed Fan Clutch Requirement Test. 2. Block off areas on each side of the radiator in the engine
compartment and the front of the radiator grille. This will raise the temperature of the
air striking the fan clutch and should cause the fan to operate at maximum speed.
NOTE: The temperature should be above 96° C (205° F) for maximum fan speed.
3. Place the climate control function selector switch in the MAX A/C position and the blower motor
switch in the HI position. 4. Adjust the strobe to 3000 RPM. 5. Start the engine and adjust the
engine speed until the strobe light flash and the water pump pulley mark are synchronized.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE
VEHICLE, DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE UNTIL THE FAN BLADE HAS BEEN FIRST
EXAMINED FOR POSSIBLE CRACKS AND SEPARATION.
6. Aim the strobe light at the fan blade retaining bolts. Adjust the strobe light until the light flash is
synchronized with the marked fan blade
retaining bolt (the fan blade appears to stand still).
7. If the fan blade speed is less than 2300 RPM, replace the fan clutch.

Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
FEATURES
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor:
- Is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages. Sends a signal to the PCM indicating the cylinder head temperature.
- If the temperature exceeds:
130°C (265°F)
the PCM disables four fuel injectors at a time. The PCM will alternate which four injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds:
166°C (330°F)
the PCM disables all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below:
153°C (308°F)
- If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens:
- The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at 121°C (250°F).
- The check gauge warning indicator will illuminate.
- DTCs are set.

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.

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

WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DANGEROUS. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE VEHICLE IN A CLOSED AREA SUCH AS
A GARAGE, ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES
OUTSIDE THE CLOSED AREA.
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and should not have been replaced. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core should be
tested as per Plugged Heater Core procedures before pressure testing the heater core. Perform a
system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:
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.
2. Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps. 3. Spring-type clamps are installed as
original equipment. Use of non-specification clamps can cause leakage at the heater water hose
connection

PLUGGED HEATER CORE
WARNING: THE HEATER CORE INLET HOSE WILL BECOME TOO HOT TO HANDLE IF THE
SYSTEM IS WORKING CORRECTLY.
Check to see that the engine coolant is at the proper level. Start the engine and turn on the heater.
When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core outlet hose to see if it
is hot. If it is not hot, the heater core may have an air pocket or may be plugged, or the thermostat
is not working properly.
Pressure Test Use Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to perform 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 and adapter from
Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester in the heater
water hose ends. Secure the heater water hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps tightened to
specification.
5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to the
adapter. 6. Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge and 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, test the heater
core as follows: 1. Drain all coolant from the heater core. 2. Remove the heater core from the A/C
evaporator housing. 3. Connect the 101 mm (4 inches) test heater water hoses with plug and
adapter to the core tubes. Then connect Radiator/Heater Core
Pressure Tester to the adapter.
4. Apply 241 kPa (35 psi) of air pressure to the heater core. Submerge the heater core in water. 5.

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

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

i. If greater than 0.4 V, turn off one item at a time until V drops to less than or equal to 0.4 V. Repair
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

neck adapter with the filler neck seal to Radiator Cap Adapter. 5. Connect the female
quick-connect fitting of the pressure test pump to the male quick-connect fining of the filler neck
adapter. 6. Slowly depress the plunger of the pressure test pump until the pressure gauge reading
stops increasing and note the highest pressure reading
obtained.
NOTE: If the plunger of the pump is depressed too fast, an erroneous pressure reading will result.
7. Release the pressure by turning the relief screw counterclockwise. Then tighten the pressure
relief screw and repeat Step 6 (at least twice) to
ensure the reading is repeatable within the specifications of the pressure relief cap.
8. If the pressure test gauge readings are not within specifications, replace the pressure relief cap.
If the pressure test gauge readings are within
specifications, perform the cooling system Pressure Test.

Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
FEATURES
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor:
- Is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages. Sends a signal to the PCM indicating the cylinder head temperature.
- If the temperature exceeds:
130°C (265°F)
the PCM disables four fuel injectors at a time. The PCM will alternate which four injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds:
166°C (330°F)
the PCM disables all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below:
153°C (308°F)
- If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens:
- The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at 121°C (250°F).
- The check gauge warning indicator will illuminate.
- DTCs are set.

Thermostat: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: Overheating or failure to reach normal operating temperature can indicate improper water
thermostat operation. The water thermostat must be removed from the vehicle and
temperature-tested. Ensure that the cause of the problem is not a leaking system or a problem with
the engine or water pump before removing the water thermostat.
1. Check the cold engine coolant level in the radiator coolant recovery reservoir. Replenish it if
necessary. 2. Start the engine and allow it to run for 10 minutes. 3. Feel the inlet and heater water
hoses and the underside of the upper radiator hose. If these hoses are still cold after 10 minutes of
operation,
remove the water thermostat.
4. Suspend the water thermostat and an accurate thermometer in a suitable container that will not
allow the test pieces to touch the bottom. 5. Fill the container with water, completely covering the
water thermostat. 6. Heat the water until boiling, while observing the thermometer temperature.
7. The water thermostat should initially open at 87-91° C (188-195° F), and be fully opened at 100°
C (212° F).
NOTE: "Fully open" means the water thermostat lifts a distance of 8.0 mm (0.31 in) or more.
8. Start to cool the water thermostat. 9. The water thermostat should be closed at 85° C (185° F).
10. If the water thermostat does not operate as indicated, replace the water thermostat. 11. To
check for low temperature leakage, cool the water thermostat to room temperature and hold it up
against a lighted background. Check for light
visible between the valve and the valve seat. If light is visible, replace the water thermostat.

ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Engine Controls - General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 3748
ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions Electronic Component Handling
STATIC DISCHARGE
- Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.
- Never touch the PCM connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the PCM circuit board.
TESTING
- When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.
- To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.
CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE
- Do not try to disassemble the control unit.
- Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, PCM and radio.
- If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECUs.
- Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.
Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.
There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.
CHARGING BY FRICTION
Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.
CHARGING BY INDUCTION
Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.
PRECAUTIONS
Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and testing electronic components.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
The Electronic Engine Control (EEC) system provides optimum control of the engine and
transmission through the enhanced capability of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The EEC
system also has an On-board Diagnostics (OBDII) monitoring system with features and functions to
meet federal regulations on exhaust emissions.
COMPONENTS
The EEC system has two major divisions: hardware and software. The hardware includes the
PCM, Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Module, Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM), Variable Load
Control Module (VLCM), sensors, switches, actuators, solenoids, and interconnecting terminals.
The software in the PCM provides the strategy control for outputs (engine hardware) based on the
values of the inputs to the PCM.
OPERATION
The PCM receives information from a variety of sensor and switch inputs. Based on the strategy
and calibration stored within the memory chip, the PCM generates the appropriate output. The
system is designed to minimize emissions and optimize fuel economy and driveability. The
software strategy controls the basic operation of the engine and transmission, provides the OBD II
strategy, controls the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), communicates to the scan tool [New
Generation Star (NGS), etc.] via the Data Link Connector (DLC), allows for Flash Electrically
Erasable/ Programmable Read Only Memory (FEEPROM), provides idle air and fuel trim, and
controls Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM).

Reset Procedure
Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset allows the scan tool to command the PCM to clear all
emission-related diagnostic information. When resetting the PCM, a DTC P1000 will be stored in
the PCM until all the OBD II system monitors or components have been tested to satisfy a drive
cycle, without any other faults occurring.
The following events occur when a PCM reset is performed:
- Clears the number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Clears the DTCs.
- Clears the freeze frame data.
- Clears oxygen sensor test data.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
New Generation STAR (NGS) and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM reset.
Resetting Keep Alive Random Access Memory (RAM)
Disconnect the battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes. Resetting Keep Alive RAM will
clear learned values the PCM has stored for adaptive systems such as idle and fuel trim.
After Keep Alive RAM has been reset, the vehicle may exhibit certain driveability concerns. It will
be necessary to drive the vehicle to allow the PCM to relearn values for optimum driveability and
performance.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
- The Ignition Control Module (ICM) is incorporated within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The ICM receives engine position and speed information from within the crankshaft position sensor
and desired spark advance information from the PCM.
OPERATION
- The ICM synthesizes a profile ignition pick up signal and ignition diagnostic monitor signal for use
within The PCM.
- The PCM uses this information to determine which ignition coil to fire, calculating the turn
ON/OFF times of the ignition coil required to achieve the correct dwell and spark advance.

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

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

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

engine). At high air flows, a contaminated MAF sensor will under-estimate air flow coming into the
engine, hence the PCM infers that the vehicle is operating at a higher altitude. The BARO reading
is stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM) after it is updated. Other indicators are Long Term Fuel Trim
and MAF

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

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Air Flow Meter/Sensor: > 98-23-10 > Nov > 98 > Engine - Lean Driveability
Symptoms > Page 3810
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

FEATURES
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor:
- Is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages. Sends a signal to the PCM indicating the cylinder head temperature.
- If the temperature exceeds:
130°C (265°F)
the PCM disables four fuel injectors at a time. The PCM will alternate which four injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds:
166°C (330°F)
the PCM disables all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below:
153°C (308°F)
- If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens:
- The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at 121°C (250°F).
- The check gauge warning indicator will illuminate.
- DTCs are set.

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

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

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

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

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

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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis >
Page 3900
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

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

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

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.

Page 3925
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).

Page 3926
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis >
Page 3927
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.

Page 3928
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.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
Description
The inertia fuel shutoff switch:
- is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump.
- shuts off the fuel pump in the event of a collision.
- consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
Operation
When a sharp impact occurs:
- the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the
electrical contacts of the inertia fuel shutoff switch and shuts off the fuel pump.
- Once the inertia fuel shutoff switch is open, the inertia fuel shutoff switch must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle.
If a collision occurs:
- the electrical contacts in the inertia fuel shutoff switch open.
- the fuel pump automatically shuts off, even if the engine does not stop running.
- the engine will stop a few seconds after the fuel pump stops.
- it is impossible to restart engine until the inertia fuel shutoff switch, located on the LH side lower
back panel in the luggage compartment, is manually reset.
NOTE:In the reset position, the button can be pressed an additional 1.59 mm (0.0625 inch) against
a spring. This is a normal condition.
WARNING: Do not reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch until the complete fuel system has been
inspected for leaks or damage to vehicle or personal injury may occur.

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

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

(DTCs) P0300 through P0308 may be stored in memory and/or the engine may run rough. This
may be caused by water intrusion into the spark plug well causing the spark to travel directly to
ground instead of through the spark plug, resulting in a misfire.
ACTION: Inspect the spark plugs for signs of moisture and replace the spark plugs and spark plug
wires. Apply dielectric compound on all of the spark plug wire boots. The new spark plug wires and
the dielectric compound should reduce the possibility of misfire if water intrusion into the spark plug
well occurs. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Inspect and remove any water that may be sitting in the spark plug wells by blowing out the
water using compressed air.
2. Inspect the spark plugs for signs of "tracking." If "tracking" is present, there may be a fine,
broken "pencil" line on the blue rings only and/or a thick smudgy series of continuous lines
depending on how long the vehicle was operated while misfiring. These lines may feel like a crack
if the fingernail is rubbed across the lines. Refer to Figure 1.
3. If "tracking" is found, replace all eight (8) of the spark plugs and torque the new Spark Plugs
(AWSF-32-PP) to 16-20 N.m (12-15 lb-ft).
4. Replace all eight (8) of the Spark Plug Wires with new wires (F6PZ-12259-HC). Be sure to apply
Silicone Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) on the inside of all spark plug
wire boots.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug Construction
PURPOSE
Ignites the combustion mixture.
LOCATION
Threaded into the cylinder head, at the combustion chamber.
OPERATION
The spark plug provides a path for the high current of the secondary circuit to flow to ground. The
only paths for this current are through the ground electrode and center electrode across the spark
gap. The spark produced when the current jumps the gap and ignites the air/fuel mixture in the
cylinder.
Spark Plug Heat Range
CONSTRUCTION
The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator is, the smaller the heatsink area will be and this will cause
the spark plug to be hotter.
- Change high voltage pulses to spark at gap which ignites fuel and air mixture. - Have a platinum
enhanced active electrode for long life.
FEATURES The active electrode is different for LH and RH spark plugs:
- On the RH side (cylinders 1, 2, 3, and 4) are type AWSF-32PG. - On the LH side (cylinders 5, 6, 7
and 8) are type AWSF-32P.
NOTE: The replacement spark plugs are AWSF-32PP; both electrodes are platinum enhanced so it
can replace either a RH or LH spark plug.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Gauge Check
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the proper level and that the
battery is properly charged. Operate the vehicle
until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as
Compression Tester in No.1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit. With
the ignition switch in the OFF position, use the auxiliary starter switch to 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.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, the piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, the valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on the piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may be
leaking between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75 percent of the highest reading.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Cylinder Leakage Test
When a cylinder produces a low reading, the use of Engine Cylinder Leak Detection/Air
Pressurization Kit will be helpful in pinpointing the exact cause.
The leakage detector is inserted in the spark plug hole, the piston is brought up to dead center on
the compression stroke, and compressed air is admitted.
Once the combustion chamber is pressurized, a special gauge included in the kit will read the
percentage of leakage. Leakage exceeding 20 percent is excessive.
While the air pressure is retained in the cylinder, listen for the hiss of escaping air. A leak at the
intake valve will be heard in the throttle body. A leak at the exhaust valve can be heard at the tail
pipe. Leakage past the piston rings will be audible at the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
connection. If air is passing through a blown head gasket to an adjacent cylinder, the noise will be
evident at the spark plug hole of the cylinder into which the air is leaking. Cracks in the cylinder
block or gasket leakage into the cooling system may be detected by a stream of bubbles in the
radiator.

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

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 98-23-10 > Nov > 98 > Engine - Lean
Driveability Symptoms > Page 4194
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

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

NOTE:
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT WILL ERASE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY AND RESET
LONG TERM FUEL TRIM AND BARO TO THEIR STARTING/BASE VALUES. THE BARO
PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION DISPLAY (PID) IS USED FOR THIS DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURE. ALL OBDII APPLICATIONS HAVE THIS PID AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME
OBDI VEHICLES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE BARO PID, FOR THESE VEHICLES OMIT THE
BARO CHECK AND REFER ONLY TO STEPS 2, 3, AND 4 IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Air Flow Meter/Sensor: >
98-23-10 > Nov > 98 > Engine - Lean Driveability Symptoms > Page 4201
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

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.

Application Chart for the affected vehicles.
ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

- Never touch the PCM connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the PCM circuit board.
TESTING
- When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.
- To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.
CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE
- Do not try to disassemble the control unit.
- Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, PCM and radio.
- If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECUs.
- Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.
Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.
There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.
CHARGING BY FRICTION
Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.
CHARGING BY INDUCTION
Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.
PRECAUTIONS
Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and testing electronic components.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
The Electronic Engine Control (EEC) system provides optimum control of the engine and
transmission through the enhanced capability of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The EEC
system also has an On-board Diagnostics (OBDII) monitoring system with features and functions to
meet federal regulations on exhaust emissions.
COMPONENTS
The EEC system has two major divisions: hardware and software. The hardware includes the
PCM, Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Module, Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM), Variable Load
Control Module (VLCM), sensors, switches, actuators, solenoids, and interconnecting terminals.
The software in the PCM provides the strategy control for outputs (engine hardware) based on the
values of the inputs to the PCM.
OPERATION
The PCM receives information from a variety of sensor and switch inputs. Based on the strategy
and calibration stored within the memory chip, the PCM generates the appropriate output. The
system is designed to minimize emissions and optimize fuel economy and driveability. The
software strategy controls the basic operation of the engine and transmission, provides the OBD II
strategy, controls the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), communicates to the scan tool [New
Generation Star (NGS), etc.] via the Data Link Connector (DLC), allows for Flash Electrically
Erasable/ Programmable Read Only Memory (FEEPROM), provides idle air and fuel trim, and
controls Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM).

Component Information > Service and Repair > Reset Procedure
Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset allows the scan tool to command the PCM to clear all
emission-related diagnostic information. When resetting the PCM, a DTC P1000 will be stored in
the PCM until all the OBD II system monitors or components have been tested to satisfy a drive
cycle, without any other faults occurring.
The following events occur when a PCM reset is performed:
- Clears the number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Clears the DTCs.
- Clears the freeze frame data.
- Clears oxygen sensor test data.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
New Generation STAR (NGS) and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM reset.
Resetting Keep Alive Random Access Memory (RAM)
Disconnect the battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes. Resetting Keep Alive RAM will
clear learned values the PCM has stored for adaptive systems such as idle and fuel trim.
After Keep Alive RAM has been reset, the vehicle may exhibit certain driveability concerns. It will
be necessary to drive the vehicle to allow the PCM to relearn values for optimum driveability and
performance.

Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
FEATURES
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor:
- Is mounted into the wall of the cylinder head and is not connected to any coolant passages. Sends a signal to the PCM indicating the cylinder head temperature.
- If the temperature exceeds:
130°C (265°F)
the PCM disables four fuel injectors at a time. The PCM will alternate which four injectors are
disabled every 32 engine cycles. The four cylinders that are not being fuel injected act as air
pumps to aid in cooling the engine.
- If the temperature exceeds:
166°C (330°F)
the PCM disables all of the fuel injectors until the engine temperature drops below:
153°C (308°F)
- If the engine reaches critical temperature, the following happens:
- The coolant temperature gauge pointer will read fully hot at 121°C (250°F).
- The check gauge warning indicator will illuminate.
- DTCs are set.

Multiplex Communication Network: Description and Operation
The module communications network consists of the following:
^ Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
^ Integrated Air Bag Diagnostic Monitor (IABM).
^ Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Module.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Multiplex Communication Network
<--> [Information Bus] > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 4347
^ Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
^ Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) Module.
^ Rear Air Suspension (RAS) Module/4-Wheel Air Suspension (4WAS).
^ 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (4WABS) Module.
The vehicle has two module communications networks. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is
connected to the Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP) which is an unshielded twisted pair cable
(Data Bus Plus, circuit 914 (T/O) and Data Bus Minus, circuit 915 [PK/LB]). The Integrated Air Bag
Module (IABM) and any of the optional modules are connected to the ISO 9141 Link via a single
wire (circuit 70 [LB/W]). Both networks can be connected to the New Generation STAR (NGS)
tester at one connector called the Data Link Connector (DLC). This makes troubleshooting 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 diagnostic communication network does not permit inter-module communication. When the
NGS tester communicates to modules on the diagnostic communication network, the NGS tester
must ask for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.
Fault Tolerance Of The SCP
The Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP) will remain operational even with the severing of one of
the bus wires. Communications will also continue if one of the bus wires is shorted to ground or
battery positive voltage (B+) or a termination resistor is lost. This faulted condition is detected and
reported to the host by the module's network bus interface circuits.
Fault Tolerance Of The Diagnostic Communications Network
Unlike the Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP), the ISO 9141 Link will not function if the wire is
shorted to ground or battery positive voltage (B+). Also, if one of the modules on the diagnostic
communication network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will fail.
Module Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is on the multiplex communication network. The PCM
controls the engine for better fuel economy, emissions control, and failure mode detection and
storage.
The air bag diagnostic monitor is on the diagnostic communication network. The air bag diagnostic
monitor controls the deployment of the air bags based on sensor input.
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) is on the diagnostic communication network. The GEM
controls a variety of systems: ^
Windshield wipers.
^ Courtesy lamps.
^ 4-wheel shift on the fly.
^ Warning chimes.
^ One touch down power windows.
The Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) is on the diagnostic communication network. The RAP
module controls the remote entry, interior lamps, and panic alarm from the keyless entry remote.
The Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (4WABS) is on the diagnostic communication network.
The 4WABS controls the brake pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle under control while
braking.
The Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) module is on the multiplex communication network. The
PATS module contains circuitry to connect the vehicle electrical system, the transceiver module,
the vehicle module communications network, and the vehicle theft indicator located in the
instrument cluster. The PATS module uses a microprocessor to control the system functions. The
PATS module microprocessor stores the ignition key codes in non-volatile memory. The PATS
module can be diagnosed through the data link connector.
The following describes the rear and four wheel air suspension modules. ^
A microcontroller-based electronic module controls the air compressor motor (through a solid state
relay) and all system solenoids. The module also provides power to front and rear height sensors.
The module controls vehicle height adjustments by monitoring: two height sensors, vehicle speed,
a steering sensor, acceleration input, the door ajar signal, transfer case signals, and the brake
switch. The module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and contains self test and
communication software for testing of the vehicle and module.
The control module is mounted in the passenger compartment inside the instrument panel above
the radio and temperature controls.
The air suspension system control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin
two-way connector. It is keyed so that the control module cannot be plugged into an incorrect
harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the module. Each is uniquely colored
and keyed to prevent reversal of connections.

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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4440
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

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 > All Technical Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4441
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4442
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.

Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4443
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.

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.

Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4467
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

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

Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4468
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 4469
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

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

Application Chart for the affected vehicles.
ISSUE The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all aftermarket
service centers shall be able to either reprogram Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) or obtain
reasonably priced, timely PCM programming services at dealerships. Ford has released an
out-of-vehicle EEC V reprogramming cable to support this requirement. Also, PCMs are
reprogrammable to update calibration levels or to reprogram a common hardware type to a new
calibration in order to fill a service need without ordering a new PCM.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules - Computers
and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 4505
ACTION Refer to the Application Chart in this article to use the new 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable to
handle all necessary out-of-vehicle programming of EEC V modules in the vehicles listed. This may
allow added flexibility in servicing aftermarket and fleet accounts as well as provide the ability to
have modules updated to new calibrations through the Parts Department instead of ordering new
parts.
Currently, EEC V modules must be installed in a vehicle to reprogram a new calibration in the
module. An aftermarket service center may bring a module to a dealership for a calibration update
or may request an updated calibration be installed to a new service part. The EPA regulations
require "reasonably priced, timely service" be provided by the dealer. The new 15- to 104-Pin Flash
Cable works with the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester to provide the capability to reprogram a
calibration on a PCM out of the vehicle.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable connects between the NGS Tester and PCM 104-pin connector.
The proper calibration must be downloaded to the Data Transfer Card through Service Bay
Technical System (SBTS). Once the card is inserted into the NGS Tester and the cable is
connected, follow the calibration download instructions displayed on the NGS screen.
The 15- to 104-Pin Flash Cable (007-00587) can be ordered from Rotunda by calling
1-800-ROTUNDA.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions Electronic Component Handling
STATIC DISCHARGE
- Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.
- Never touch the PCM connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the PCM circuit board.
TESTING
- When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.
- To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.
CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE
- Do not try to disassemble the control unit.
- Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, PCM and radio.
- If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECUs.
- Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.
Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.
There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.
CHARGING BY FRICTION
Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.
CHARGING BY INDUCTION
Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.
PRECAUTIONS
Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and testing electronic components.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
The Electronic Engine Control (EEC) system provides optimum control of the engine and
transmission through the enhanced capability of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The EEC
system also has an On-board Diagnostics (OBDII) monitoring system with features and functions to
meet federal regulations on exhaust emissions.
COMPONENTS
The EEC system has two major divisions: hardware and software. The hardware includes the
PCM, Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Module, Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM), Variable Load
Control Module (VLCM), sensors, switches, actuators, solenoids, and interconnecting terminals.
The software in the PCM provides the strategy control for outputs (engine hardware) based on the
values of the inputs to the PCM.
OPERATION
The PCM receives information from a variety of sensor and switch inputs. Based on the strategy
and calibration stored within the memory chip, the PCM generates the appropriate output. The
system is designed to minimize emissions and optimize fuel economy and driveability. The
software strategy controls the basic operation of the engine and transmission, provides the OBD II
strategy, controls the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), communicates to the scan tool [New
Generation Star (NGS), etc.] via the Data Link Connector (DLC), allows for Flash Electrically
Erasable/ Programmable Read Only Memory (FEEPROM), provides idle air and fuel trim, and
controls Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM).

Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset allows the scan tool to command the PCM to clear all
emission-related diagnostic information. When resetting the PCM, a DTC P1000 will be stored in
the PCM until all the OBD II system monitors or components have been tested to satisfy a drive
cycle, without any other faults occurring.
The following events occur when a PCM reset is performed:
- Clears the number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Clears the DTCs.
- Clears the freeze frame data.
- Clears oxygen sensor test data.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
New Generation STAR (NGS) and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM reset.
Resetting Keep Alive Random Access Memory (RAM)
Disconnect the battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes. Resetting Keep Alive RAM will
clear learned values the PCM has stored for adaptive systems such as idle and fuel trim.
After Keep Alive RAM has been reset, the vehicle may exhibit certain driveability concerns. It will
be necessary to drive the vehicle to allow the PCM to relearn values for optimum driveability and
performance.

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

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

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

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

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.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))

Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page
4632
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

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

4633
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical
Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page
4634
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.

Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page
4635
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other
Service Bulletins for Oxygen Sensor: > 01-9-7 > May > 01 > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page
4669
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

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

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position
Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > New Digital Transmission Range Sensor Service Tip > Page 4746
To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position
Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > New Digital Transmission Range Sensor Service Tip > Page 4747
When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

Canister Purge Control Valve: Description and Operation
EVAP Canister Purge Valve
PURPOSE
The Vapor Management Valve (VMV) controls the flow of vapors (purging) from the fuel vapor
storage canister to the intake manifold during various engine operating modes.
OPERATION
The PCM outputs a variable duty cycle signal (between 0 and 100%) to the VMV solenoid to either
divert more vacuum to the valve part of the VMV and open it, or vent more vacuum to the
atmosphere at the solenoid and close the VMV. The increase in vacuum acting on the VMV
diaphragm overcomes the valve spring and begins to lift the VMV pintle oft its seat, causing fuel
vapor flow into the intake manifold.
FEATURES
The VMV is designed to compensate for changes in the intake manifold that is applied to the
solenoid part of the VMV, and it will maintain a constant vapor flow at any given duty cycle for
manifold vacuums between 16-67 kPa (5-20 in-Hg).

Purpose
The EGR valve increases or decreases the flow of exhaust gas recirculation.
Description
The EGR valve in the Differential Pressure Feedback EGR system is a conventional vacuum
actuated EGR valve, and serves only as a pressure regulator rather than a flow metering device.
Operation
As vacuum applied to the EGR valve diaphragm overcomes the spring force, the valve begins to
open. As the vacuum signal weakens, the spring force closes the valve.

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

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

Driveability Symptoms > Page 4932
1. Look at the BARO PID. Refer to the Barometric Pressure Reference Chart in this article. At sea
level, BARO should read about 159 Hz (29.91 in. Hg). As a reference, Denver, Colorado at 1524
meters (5000 ft.) altitude should be about 144 Hz (24.88 in.Hg). Normal learned BARO variability is
up to +/- 6 Hz (+/- 2 in. Hg.). If BARO indicates a higher altitude than you are not at (7 or more Hz
lower than expected), you may have MAF contamination. If available, Service Bay Diagnostic
System (SBDS) has a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor that can be used as a barometric
pressure reference. Use "MAP/BARO" test under "Powertrain," "Testers and Meters." Ignore the
hookup screen. Connect GP2 to the reference MAP on the following screen.
NOTE
REMEMBER THAT MOST WEATHER SERVICES REPORT A LOCAL BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SEA LEVEL. THE BARO PID, ON THE OTHER
HAND, REPORTS THE ACTUAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE FOR THE ALTITUDE THE
VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED IN. LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS (HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE AREAS) WILL CHANGE THE LOCAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BY SEVERAL
INCHES OF MERCURY (+/- 3 Hz, +/- 1 in. Hg.).
NOTE
BARO IS UPDATED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH THROTTLE OPENINGS.
THEREFORE, A VEHICLE WHICH IS DRIVEN DOWN FROM A HIGHER ALTITUDE MAY NOT
HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE THE BARO VALUE IN KAM. IF YOU ARE NOT
CONFIDENT THAT BARO HAS BEEN UPDATED, PERFORM THREE OR FOUR HEAVY,
SUSTAINED ACCELERATIONS AT GREATER THAN HALF-THROTTLE TO ALLOW BARO TO
UPDATE.
2. On a fully warmed up engine, look at Long Term Fuel Trim at idle, in Neutral, A/C off, (LONGFT1
and/or LONGFT2 PIDs). If it is more negative than -12%, the fuel system has learned lean
corrections which may be due to the MAF sensor over-estimating air flow at idle. Note that both
Banks 1 and 2 will exhibit negative corrections for 2-bank system. If only one bank of a 2-bank
system has negative corrections, the MAF sensor is probably not contaminated.
3. On a fully warmed up engine, look at MAF voltage at idle, in Neutral, A/C off (MAF V PID). If it's
30% greater than the nominal MAF V voltage listed in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) Diagnostic Value Reference Charts for your vehicle, or greater than 1.1 volts as a rough
guide, the MAF sensor is over-estimating air flow at idle.
4. If at least tow of the previous three steps are true, proceed to disconnect the MAF sensor
connector. This puts the vehicle into Failure Mode and Effects Management (FMEM). In FMEM
mode, air flow is inferred by using rpm and throttle position instead of reading the MAF sensor. (In
addition, the BARO value is reset to a base/unlearned value.) If the lean driveability symptoms go
away, the MAF sensor is probably contaminated and should be replaced. If the lean driveability
symptoms do not go away, go to the PC/ED Service Manual for the appropriate diagnostics.
NOTE
DUE TO INCREASINGLY STRINGENT EMISSION/OBDII REQUIREMENTS, IT IS POSSIBLE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH MAF SENSOR CONTAMINATION TO SET FUEL SYSTEM DTCs
AND ILLUMINATE THE MIL WITH NO DRIVEABILITY CONCERNS. DISCONNECTING THE MAF
ON THESE VEHICLES WILL, THEREFORE, PRODUCE NO IMPROVEMENTS IN
DRIVEABILITY. IN THESE CASES, IF THE BARO, LONGFT1, LONGFT2, AND MAF V PIDs
INDICATE THAT THE MAF IS CONTAMINATED, PROCEED TO REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR.
After replacing the MAF sensor, disconnect the vehicle battery (5 minutes, minimum to reset KAM,
or on newer vehicles, use the "KAM Reset" feature on the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester and
verify that the lean driveability symptoms are gone.

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel - Volatility Related Driveability Concerns > Page 4979
FILLING THE TANK TO FULL MAY BE EFFECTIVE. ADVISE CUSTOMER TO USE THE
RECOMMENDED OCTANE GRADE PER OWNER MANUAL AND NOT A HIGHER GRADE.
Explain to the customer that this concern may be due to a low tank level of winter blend fuel
combined with unseasonably warm weather. Advise customer that filling the fuel tank to full may be
effective in resolving this concern. Also, advise customer to use the recommended octane grade
per their Owner Manual and not a higher grade.
BACKGROUND Gasolines are seasonally adjusted, meaning they have higher volatility (vaporize
easier) in the winter and lower volatility in the summer. Government mandates to improve air
quality have resulted in significant changes to gasolines, such as the mandatory use of oxygenates
(ethanol, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and others) in the winter or the reduction of Reid
Vapor Pressure (RVP) in the summer. The addition of oxygenates (especially ethanol) increases
volatility while the reduction of RVP reduces volatility.
Gasoline distribution practices often do not allow branded marketers to have much control over
their gasoline's volatility other than RVP. Oxygenate (e.g., ethanol, MTBE) use is more dependent
on local gasoline markets, rather than specific marketers practice. Therefore, it is difficult to
recommend specific brands to avoid volatility related complaints.

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

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.

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 Regulator: Description and Operation
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Purpose
To regulate the fuel pressure supplied to the fuel injectors.
Operation
The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated relief valve in which one side of the diaphragm
senses fuel pressure and the other side is subjected to intake manifold vacuum. The nominal fuel
pressure is established by a spring preload applied to the diaphragm. Balancing one side of the
diaphragm with manifold pressure maintains a constant fuel pressure drop across the fuel injectors.
Fuel in excess of that used by the engine is bypassed through the fuel pressure regulator and
returns to the fuel tank.
Locations
The fuel pressure regulator is attached to the fuel injection supply manifold downstream of the fuel
injectors.

Fuel Rail: Service Precautions
WARNING:
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any
fuel related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited,
resulting in possible injury.
- Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running.
- The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or
deflation of the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.

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.

STATIONS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: A slow fill or the inability to fill the fuel tank may be experienced on some vehicles. This
may be a result of fuel pumps that have a flow rate that is too high, or nozzles that are not within
SAE design standards.
ACTION: Customer may back off the nozzle 12 mm (0.5") and fill normally. If not satisfied, the
customer may have the fuel filler pipe replaced on vehicles built prior to March 26, 1997. The new
fill pipe entry makes the design more tolerant of nozzles which do not follow the SAE standard.
However, if a customer is using a nozzle that is not close to the SAE standard, then the customer
may continue to have problems with early fuel shutoff, even with the new fuel fill pipe. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.

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

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).

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.

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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Fuel Filler Neck: > 03-20-3 > Oct
> 03 > Emissions - MIL ON/DTC's Stored/Check Fuel Cap Lamp ON > Page 5198
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 - SLOW FILL OR INABILITY TO PUMP GASOLINE INTO FILL NECK AT SERVICE
STATIONS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: A slow fill or the inability to fill the fuel tank may be experienced on some vehicles. This
may be a result of fuel pumps that have a flow rate that is too high, or nozzles that are not within
SAE design standards.
ACTION: Customer may back off the nozzle 12 mm (0.5") and fill normally. If not satisfied, the
customer may have the fuel filler pipe replaced on vehicles built prior to March 26, 1997. The new
fill pipe entry makes the design more tolerant of nozzles which do not follow the SAE standard.
However, if a customer is using a nozzle that is not close to the SAE standard, then the customer
may continue to have problems with early fuel shutoff, even with the new fuel fill pipe. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 in the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the fuel pump and sender assembly as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop
Manual.

ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

Component Information > Locations > Page 5360
Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
Description
The inertia fuel shutoff switch:
- is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump.
- shuts off the fuel pump in the event of a collision.
- consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
Operation
When a sharp impact occurs:
- the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the
electrical contacts of the inertia fuel shutoff switch and shuts off the fuel pump.
- Once the inertia fuel shutoff switch is open, the inertia fuel shutoff switch must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle.
If a collision occurs:
- the electrical contacts in the inertia fuel shutoff switch open.
- the fuel pump automatically shuts off, even if the engine does not stop running.
- the engine will stop a few seconds after the fuel pump stops.
- it is impossible to restart engine until the inertia fuel shutoff switch, located on the LH side lower
back panel in the luggage compartment, is manually reset.
NOTE:In the reset position, the button can be pressed an additional 1.59 mm (0.0625 inch) against
a spring. This is a normal condition.
WARNING: Do not reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch until the complete fuel system has been
inspected for leaks or damage to vehicle or personal injury may occur.

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

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

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

Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation
Typical Inertia Fuel Shut-Off Switch
Description
The inertia fuel shutoff switch:
- is used in conjunction with an electric fuel pump.
- shuts off the fuel pump in the event of a collision.
- consists of a steel ball held in place by a magnet.
Operation
When a sharp impact occurs:
- the ball breaks loose from the magnet, rolls up a ramp and strikes a target plate which opens the
electrical contacts of the inertia fuel shutoff switch and shuts off the fuel pump.
- Once the inertia fuel shutoff switch is open, the inertia fuel shutoff switch must be manually reset
before restarting the vehicle.
If a collision occurs:
- the electrical contacts in the inertia fuel shutoff switch open.
- the fuel pump automatically shuts off, even if the engine does not stop running.
- the engine will stop a few seconds after the fuel pump stops.
- it is impossible to restart engine until the inertia fuel shutoff switch, located on the LH side lower
back panel in the luggage compartment, is manually reset.
NOTE:In the reset position, the button can be pressed an additional 1.59 mm (0.0625 inch) against
a spring. This is a normal condition.
WARNING: Do not reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch until the complete fuel system has been
inspected for leaks or damage to vehicle or personal injury may occur.

WARNING:
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any
fuel related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited,
resulting in possible personal injury.
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running.
- Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel
system pressure must be relieved.
- The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or

Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (IMTV): Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Intake Manifold Tuning (IMT) valve assembly increases mid-range torque of the engine.
CONFIGURATION
The IMT valve is a single valve that blends the air flow of a dual plenum type intake manifold. The
IMT Valve assembly is a two-position valve located in the intake manifold. The MT Valve is
normally closed at low engine speeds and provides torque improvements by separating intake
pulses of a dual plenum system.
Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (IMTV)
OPERATION
- The PCM uses the Throttle Position (TP) sensor and rpm input signals to determine activation of
the Intake Manifold Tuning Valve system. Below approximately 3000 rpm, the IMT valve shutter is
closed, and above approximately 3000 rpm, the shutter is opened. There must be a positive
change in voltage from the TP sensor along with the increase in rpm to open the shutter.
- The PCM uses the information from the input signals to control the IMT valve based upon rpm
and changes in throttle position.
- When commanded on by the PCM, the valve opens up the end of the vertical separating wall at
high speeds to allow both sides of the manifold to blend together to provide air flow tuning on the
dual plenum system.

NOTE
FOLLOW THIS TSB PROCEDURE ONLY IF THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC MISFIRE TSBs/SSMs
RELEASED FOR THE VEHICLE SYMPTOM BEING EXPERIENCED.
ISSUE Approximately 50% of coil on plug (COP) coils returned for warranty do not have a problem.
ACTION The misfiring cylinder must be identified through Self-Test misfire codes or through WDS
Power Balance. Rule out base engine problems, rule out fuel problems, and then look at ignition
problems (be sure to rule out coil primary circuit issues). Once the above steps have been
completed, and the issue is in the secondary part of the ignition system, the oscilloscope procedure
outlined in this TSB can isolate the difference between a coil or spark plug problem.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The optional WDS COP Kit available through Rotunda will provide more accurate diagnosis and
help reduce replacement of non-defective parts. The Kit (418-F5528) can be purchased through
1-800-ROTUNDA.
The following material will detail the diagnostic steps on WDS to take the guesswork out of misfire
diagnosis using the COP Kit. The following procedure is for cylinder specific misfires and not
random misfires. Random misfires have a different root cause and are not covered by this TSB.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5550
Misfire Definition: A misfiring cylinder is lacking power relative to the other cylinders. The causes
for a cylinder specific misfire could be fuel, spark, or mechanical problems.
Perform a thorough visual inspection. If no visible concerns are found use the following WDS tools
for misfire diagnosis:
^ Self-test (Check for codes first)
Power Balance (Identify the cylinder of concern)
^ Relative Compression (Rule out a possible mechanical issue)
^ Fuel (Make sure fuel injectors are not restricted)
^ Ignition (Make sure spark plugs and coils are working properly)
^ Oscilloscope (Detailed signal analysis)
NOTE
USE THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BUTTON IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE SCREEN FOR
DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE WDS TOOL BEING DISPLAYED.
If there is a self-test code identifying a particular cylinder then you just need to determine if it is a
fuel, ignition, or possibly a mechanical problem. Proceed to Step 2 after running Relative
Compression to rule out any mechanical issues. If there is no self-test code and the customer
concern is a miss, proceed to Step 1.
Step 1: (Select Toolbox Icon, then Powertrain, then Power Balance)
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5551
The cylinder specific miss has to be identified as shown in the example in Figure 2 in order to
proceed with the remaining steps. If the miss does not occur at idle (in the bay), try to brake torque
the engine. This extra loading should reproduce the miss in the bay. If the miss cannot be
reproduced during brake torque, select Relative Compression under Powertrain on WDS before
going on a road test to rule out mechanical problems. If Relative Compression shows a problem
then the base engine issue must be serviced. If Relative Compression results are good (Figure 3),
road test under as many different driving conditions as possible until the miss occurs on Power
Balance. Some misses may be very intermiffent so be patient and concentrate on steady load
conditions. Once a cylinder dropout is identified proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: (Select Toolbox Icon, then Powertrain, then Fuel System Test)
Run Fuel System Test on WDS to determine if there may be a fuel problem. After completing fuel
Pressure/Leakdown test, select Injector flow to isolate
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5552
a restricted injector as shown in Figure 4. If all the injectors are within specification, proceed to
Step 3.
Step 3: (Select Toolbox Icon, then Powertrain, then Ignition System Test)
Run Ignition System Test on WDS to determine if there is an ignition problem. Look at both
duration (DUR) and kilovolts (KV) and look for values that standout from the rest as shown in
Figure 5 and Figure 6.
NOTE
LIVE DISPLAY HAS TO AVERAGE IGNITION VALUES BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH DATA
TO DISPLAY. MAKE A CAPTURE TO VIEW EACH ENGINE EVENT WITHOUT AVERAGING.
THIS CAN BE HELPFUL WHEN THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. IF THE
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5553
MISS IS EXTREMELY INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN IGNITION, PROCEED TO
STEP 4.
If either spark duration or peak KV on the Red Probe (Suspect Cylinder) are offset from the values
displayed on the Black Probe (Known Good Cylinder) then the problem is in the ignition system.
Rule out coil primary circuit issues before proceeding to coil secondary issues such as the spark
plug , coil boot, or possibly the coil. Use the WDS Oscilloscope with the COP kit to determine if the
issue is the coil or the spark plug.
Step 4: (Select Toolbox, then Oscilloscope)
WARNING
SECONDARY IGNITION VOLTAGES ARE VERY HIGH. KEEP HANDS AND TOOLS AWAY
FROM THE END OF THE COIL THAT SUPPLIES THE SPARK.
SET-UP: With the engine off, pull the suspect coil from the cylinder well and turn it upside down so
the coil cannot spark to any other surface as shown in Figure 1. Wrap a clean shop cloth around
the hard shell of the coil to help keep the coil propped up and stable.
CAUTION
THE COIL BOOT CAN BE DAMAGED IF THE COIL SPARKS TO ANOTHER SURFACE DURING
THIS PROCEDURE.
Keep the coil connected to the harness and leave the WDS COP clip attached to the coil. Route
the coil clip wire and cable away from the coil being tested as well as other coils to avoid noise
interference. Disconnect the injector of the cylinder being tested so raw fuel is not washing the
cylinder. This is a stress test for the coil. The type of waveform displayed on the oscilloscope will
show whether a coil or the plug is the problem if all previous steps have been followed. Keep hands
and tools away from the end of the coil that supplies the spark.
COP Stress Test Procedure:

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

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation
NOTE: The following image is a generic image and may not apply to your vehicle.
PURPOSE
The Electronic Ignition-High Data Rate System (EI) coils provide high voltage needed to jump the
gap of the spark plugs and ignite the air/fuel mixture.
CONSTRUCTION
The coil pack contains multiple coils. Each coil within a coil pack contains a primary and secondary
circuit.
Primary Windings
The windings in the primary circuit is wound on a silicon steel core bobbin. The primary circuit
grounds use the same ground through the DIS module.
Secondary Windings
The winding in the secondary circuit is on a segmented bobbin. The secondary winding uses
smaller gauge wire and more turns than the primary circuit. The secondary high tension towers are
connected in pairs.
OPERATION
The ignition coil fires two spark plugs simultaneously, one on the compression stroke and one on
the exhaust stroke.
Effective Spark
When a piston is on compression stroke, most of the ignition coil's available current jumps the gap
of the spark plug firing from the center electrode to side electrode, because the resistance is low.
Wasted Spark
When the companion piston is on exhaust stroke, the spark is wasted. Very little coil energy is
wasted. The companion plug fires from the side electrode to the center electrode.

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

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

ISSUE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate and Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) P0300 through P0308 may be stored in memory and/or the engine may run rough. This
may be caused by water intrusion into the spark plug well causing the spark to travel directly to
ground instead of through the spark plug, resulting in a misfire.
ACTION: Inspect the spark plugs for signs of moisture and replace the spark plugs and spark plug
wires. Apply dielectric compound on all of the spark plug wire boots. The new spark plug wires and
the dielectric compound should reduce the possibility of misfire if water intrusion into the spark plug
well occurs. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Inspect and remove any water that may be sitting in the spark plug wells by blowing out the
water using compressed air.
2. Inspect the spark plugs for signs of "tracking." If "tracking" is present, there may be a fine,
broken "pencil" line on the blue rings only and/or a thick smudgy series of continuous lines
depending on how long the vehicle was operated while misfiring. These lines may feel like a crack
if the fingernail is rubbed across the lines. Refer to Figure 1.
3. If "tracking" is found, replace all eight (8) of the spark plugs and torque the new Spark Plugs
(AWSF-32-PP) to 16-20 N.m (12-15 lb-ft).
4. Replace all eight (8) of the Spark Plug Wires with new wires (F6PZ-12259-HC). Be sure to apply
Silicone Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) on the inside of all spark plug

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug Construction
PURPOSE
Ignites the combustion mixture.
LOCATION
Threaded into the cylinder head, at the combustion chamber.
OPERATION
The spark plug provides a path for the high current of the secondary circuit to flow to ground. The
only paths for this current are through the ground electrode and center electrode across the spark
gap. The spark produced when the current jumps the gap and ignites the air/fuel mixture in the
cylinder.
Spark Plug Heat Range
CONSTRUCTION
The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator is, the smaller the heatsink area will be and this will cause
the spark plug to be hotter.
- Change high voltage pulses to spark at gap which ignites fuel and air mixture. - Have a platinum
enhanced active electrode for long life.
FEATURES The active electrode is different for LH and RH spark plugs:
- On the RH side (cylinders 1, 2, 3, and 4) are type AWSF-32PG. - On the LH side (cylinders 5, 6, 7
and 8) are type AWSF-32P.
NOTE: The replacement spark plugs are AWSF-32PP; both electrodes are platinum enhanced so it
can replace either a RH or LH spark plug.

Description and Operation
Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed,
a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through
fourth gears or first through third gears only. The PCM energizes the transmission control indicator
lamp (TCIL) when the switch has been pressed to cancel overdrive. The TCIL indicates overdrive
cancel mode activated (lamp on) and electronic pressure control (EPC) circuit shorted (lamp
flashing) or monitored sensor failure.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > New Digital Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 5710
To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > New Digital Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 5711
When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

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.

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

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.

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

ISSUE: Powertrain Control Modules (PCMs) no longer need to be replaced when servicing
driveability concerns. The only time a PCM needs replacing is when it can no longer be
reprogrammed and/or is damaged. In all other cases, the PCM must be reprogrammed and NOT
REPLACED.
ACTION: Use the following Service Procedure to properly reprogram a PCM.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PCM REPROGRAMMING USING SBDS
1. At the Main menu, select Powertrain and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Select
"Continue."
2. From the Powertrain menu, select Electronic Engine category.
3. Scroll through the "Tool List" to PCM Reprogramming and select "Continue."
4. Any TSBs or Recalls for the entered vehicle will be displayed. There is up to a 6 week delay for
TSB/Recall information updates on SBDS. New TSBs/Recalls may not appear or only the TSB
number will be displayed even though the new calibration is on the current calibration CD-ROM.
Also, if the vehicle calibration is being updated because of a Special Service Message, Broadcast
Message or the PCM was replaced and requires calibration, no screen may appear. This is not a
concern and will not prevent programming updates or being paid for programming updates.
5. Follow all hook-up instructions and continue as prompted to the calibration screen. Typically, a
list of calibration numbers will appear. Answer as appropriate for the vehicle and select "Continue."
SBDS will then validate the information entered against the information read in the PCM, and any
mismatch of software or hardware will be displayed for technician action.
6. Insert the proper calibration or the latest level CD-ROM when prompted and follow the
instructions as displayed by SBDS. Do not crank the engine. SBDS will update the engine
calibration to the latest level calibration for the selected calibration.
7. After programming is complete, SBDS will display a representation of the Authorized
Modification Decal with the Engineering Part Number for the PCM installed. It is important that the
label be completed and attached to the vehicle. S8DS will also automatically print a copy of the
vehicle log for filing with the Repair Order.
8. Selecting "Continue" will call for a KOEO self test. Any hard faults present after performing self
test were not caused by reprogramming. The calibration has now been validated and the PCM is
operating properly. Unless directed by other Service Procedures, the vehicle can be released to

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to revise the Service Procedure.
ISSUE A perceived 2-3 delayed upshift, primarily when the transmission is cold, may be evident on
some vehicles. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) strategy is designed to delay shifts in some
vehicles when Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) is below approximately 21°C (70°F) for taster
heater warmup. The 2-3 shift may be delayed approximately 14-24 km/h (9-15 mph) when
compared to the shift speed charts listed in the appropriate Service or Workshop Manual. A leaking
2-3 accumulator may cause Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0782.
ACTION Verify if delayed upshift is normal cold shift scheduling or a possible leak past the large
diameter 2-3 accumulator seal. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Using New Generation Star (NGS) Tester, perform all self tests and record DTCs.
2. Monitor rpm, and gear command Parameter Identification Displays (PIDs) with the NGS Tester
during the 2-3 shift.
3. If engine rpm decreases within 1-2 seconds after the gear command has changed on the NGS
Tester, then vehicle has upshifted properly and no repair is necessary. If engine rpm does not drop
within 1-2 seconds, continue to Step 4.
4. If engine rpm does not drop when the PCM commands third gear, then replace the 2-3
accumulator piston using the revised Accumulator Piston (F7AZ-7H292-AB). Refer to the
appropriate Service or Workshop Manual for replacement procedure.

This concern is ONLY for vehicles with Ford Quality Remanufactured (FQR) 4R70W Transmission
Exchange Units With Julian build dates between 062-97 And 04099 (corresponding serial numbers
are between R0475797 and R0771887).
ISSUE A delayed or no 2-3 upshift, primarily when the transmission is cold, may be evident on
some vehicles In some cases, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0782 may also be present. This
may be caused by fluid pressure leakage past the larger diameter seal of the 2-3 accumulator.
ACTION Replace the 2-3 accumulator piston using a revised piston. The revised piston will
increase seal/bore interference, eliminating any internal leak relating to the 2-3 accumulator piston
reducing the possibility of 2-3 upshift concerns. Refer to the appropriate Service or Workshop

ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit an erratic or prolonged 1-2 shift. This may be caused by early
Accumulator Seal wear which may occur during repeated 1-2, 2-1 shift cycling. The Accumulator
side loads in the Case Accumulator Bore and causes the Case Bore to become scuffed. Bore
scuffing leads to premature seal wear and eventual intermediate clutch pressure loss, which leads
to the loss in 1-2 shift.
ACTION: Replace the cast aluminum piston with the one-piece stamped steel piston with bonded
lip seals and replace the top Accumulator Spring. These revised parts allow for increased
durability. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
TRANSMISSION CASE REPLACEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED DUE TO 1-2 SHIFT
ACCUMULATOR BORE SCUFFING. THE REVISED PISTON ASSEMBLY CAN BE USED WITH
SCUFFED SEAL BORE.
1. With the vehicle on a hoist, remove the transmission pan and gasket. Using the Snap Ring
Removal Tool, remove the 1-2 Accumulator Piston Retainer. At this time, the spring load will pop
the cover and bottom Accumulator Spring out of the bore.
2. Remove the piston and top Accumulator Spring.

This concern is ONLY for vehicles with Ford Quality Remanufactured (FQR) 4R70W Transmission
Exchange Units With Julian build dates between 062-97 And 04099 (corresponding serial numbers
are between R0475797 and R0771887).
ISSUE A delayed or no 2-3 upshift, primarily when the transmission is cold, may be evident on
some vehicles In some cases, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0782 may also be present. This
may be caused by fluid pressure leakage past the larger diameter seal of the 2-3 accumulator.
ACTION Replace the 2-3 accumulator piston using a revised piston. The revised piston will
increase seal/bore interference, eliminating any internal leak relating to the 2-3 accumulator piston
reducing the possibility of 2-3 upshift concerns. Refer to the appropriate Service or Workshop
Manual for replacement procedure.

ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit an erratic or prolonged 1-2 shift. This may be caused by early
Accumulator Seal wear which may occur during repeated 1-2, 2-1 shift cycling. The Accumulator
side loads in the Case Accumulator Bore and causes the Case Bore to become scuffed. Bore
scuffing leads to premature seal wear and eventual intermediate clutch pressure loss, which leads
to the loss in 1-2 shift.
ACTION: Replace the cast aluminum piston with the one-piece stamped steel piston with bonded
lip seals and replace the top Accumulator Spring. These revised parts allow for increased
durability. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
TRANSMISSION CASE REPLACEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED DUE TO 1-2 SHIFT
ACCUMULATOR BORE SCUFFING. THE REVISED PISTON ASSEMBLY CAN BE USED WITH
SCUFFED SEAL BORE.
1. With the vehicle on a hoist, remove the transmission pan and gasket. Using the Snap Ring
Removal Tool, remove the 1-2 Accumulator Piston Retainer. At this time, the spring load will pop
the cover and bottom Accumulator Spring out of the bore.
2. Remove the piston and top Accumulator Spring.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION, F-150, F-250
ISSUE: A "ticking" noise during first gear operation may be heard on some vehicles. This may be
caused by the transmission fluid transmitting the load from the intermediate clutch friction plates,
which are rotating, to the intermediate clutch steel separating plates, which are non-rotating. This
transfer of load produces a ticking noise as the steel separating plates make contact with the case.
ACTION: Follow the Service Procedure below to verify the concern. If a ticking noise is verified,
replace the Intermediate Clutch Friction Plates (F75Z-7B164-BA, 3 required). These new friction
plates have a revised groove pattern which changes the fluid distribution and load between the
clutch plates.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
To Verify Concern
1. Drive vehicle in manual first gear with light throttle position from 0 to 48 km/h (0 to 30 mph) and
confirm the ticking noise.
2. When the ticking noise is confirmed, shift the gearshift into manual second gear.
3. If the ticking noise goes away in manual second gear, replace the intermediate clutch friction
plates using service part number F75Z-7B164-BA (3 required).
Follow the normal Service Procedure outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Workshop
Manual/Transmission Reference Manual.
NOTE:
IF THE TICKING NOISE DOES NOT GO AWAY IN MANUAL SECOND GEAR, THEN THE
INTERMEDIATE CLUTCH FRICTION PLATES ARE NOT THE CAUSE. DO NOT REPLACE THE
FRICTION PLATES. REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE MODEL 1997 WORKSHOP MANUAL IN

ISSUE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate and Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) P0300 through P0308 may be stored in memory and/or the engine may run rough. This
may be caused by water intrusion into the spark plug well causing the spark to travel directly to
ground instead of through the spark plug, resulting in a misfire.
ACTION: Inspect the spark plugs for signs of moisture and replace the spark plugs and spark plug
wires. Apply dielectric compound on all of the spark plug wire boots. The new spark plug wires and
the dielectric compound should reduce the possibility of misfire if water intrusion into the spark plug
well occurs. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Inspect and remove any water that may be sitting in the spark plug wells by blowing out the
water using compressed air.
2. Inspect the spark plugs for signs of "tracking." If "tracking" is present, there may be a fine,
broken "pencil" line on the blue rings only and/or a thick smudgy series of continuous lines
depending on how long the vehicle was operated while misfiring. These lines may feel like a crack
if the fingernail is rubbed across the lines. Refer to Figure 1.
3. If "tracking" is found, replace all eight (8) of the spark plugs and torque the new Spark Plugs
(AWSF-32-PP) to 16-20 N.m (12-15 lb-ft).
4. Replace all eight (8) of the Spark Plug Wires with new wires (F6PZ-12259-HC). Be sure to apply
Silicone Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A) on the inside of all spark plug
wire boots.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Condition
1. Perform the fluid level check. 2. Observe the color and odor of the fluid. It should be dark
reddish, not brown or black. Odor can sometimes indicate that there is an overheating
condition clutch disc failure or band failure.
3. Use an absorbent white facial tissue to wipe the fluid level indicator. Examine the stain for
evidence of solids (specks of any kind) and for signs of
antifreeze (gum or varnish on the fluid level indicator).
If specks are present in the fluid or there is evidence of antifreeze, the transmission fluid pan must
be removed for further inspection. If fluid contamination or transmission failure is confirmed by
further evidence of coolant or excessive solids in the transmission fluid pan, the transmission must
be disassembled and completely cleaned and serviced. This includes cleaning the torque converter
and transmission cooling system. Do not perform any further checks before cleaning and servicing
the transmission. During disassembly and assembly, all overhaul checks and adjustments of
clearances and end play must be made. After the transmission has been serviced, all diagnostic
tests and adjustments listed in the Diagnosis by Symptom chart must be completed to ensure the
concern has been corrected.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection Level Check
CAUTION:
- The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is below the COLD marked area on the fluid level
indicator and outside temperature is above 10° C (50° F).
- If vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speed, in city traffic, in hot weather, or
vehicle is being used to pull a trailer, the fluid has to cool approximately 30 minutes after engine
had been turned off to obtain an accurate reading.
Under normal circumstances, check the fluid level of the transmission during normal maintenance,
and change it at 48,000 km (30,000 miles) since the vehicle does not use up transmission fluid.
However, if the transmission is not working properly, the transmission may slip or shift slowly or
there may be some sign of fluid leakage. The fluid level should he checked
It is preferable to check the transmission fluid level at normal operating temperature after
approximately 32 km (20 miles) of driving. If necessary, check the fluid level without driving the
vehicle, if the outside temperature is above 10° C (50° F).
When checking fluid at normal operating temperature, the fluid level should be within the HOT
marked area on the fluid level indicator. When the vehicle has not been driven and outside
temperature is above 10° C (50° F), the fluid level should be within the COLD marked area on the
fluid level indicator.
Check Fluid Level as Follows:
NOTE:The fluid level on the fluid level indicator will be different at operating temperature and
ambient temperature. For the correct fluid level reading on the fluid level indicator, follow the
appropriate instructions.
1. With the transmission in Park (P), the engine at curb idle rpm, the foot brakes applied and the
vehicle on a level surface, move the transmission
range selector lever through each range. Allow time in each range to engage the transmission.
Return to Park (P), apply the parking brake and block the wheels. Do not turn off the engine during
the fluid level check.
2. Clean all dirt from the transmission fluid level indicator cap before removing the fluid level
indicator from the fluid fill tube. 3. Pull the fluid level indicator out of the fluid fill tube, wipe it clean,
and push it all the way back into the tube. Make sure it is fully seated. 4. Pull the fluid level indicator
out of the fluid fill tube again and check the fluid level.
If necessary, add enough fluid through the transmission fluid fill tube to raise the level to the correct
position. Do not overfill the transmission. This will result in foaming, loss of fluid through the vent
and possible transmission malfunction. If overfill occurs, excess fluid must be removed.
5. Install the fluid level indicator, making sure it is fully seated in the fluid fill tube.
If the transmission fluid level is checked when the fluid is at ambient temperature, the fluid level
indicator could indicate that fluid should be added if the fluid level indicator is misread. If fluid is
added at this time, an overfill condition could result when the fluid reaches operating temperatures
of 66° C-77° C (150° F-170° F) (fluid level indicator hot to touch).
Underfill can result in transmission loss of engagement or slipping. This condition is most evident in
cold weather or when the vehicle is parked or being driven on a hill.
If the transmission fluid level is correctly established at 10-35° C (50-95° F), it will appear in the
HOT marked area on the fluid level indicator when the transmission reaches an operating
temperature of 66-77° C (150-170° F). Do not overfill or underfill.

A fluid level that is too high may cause the fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of
the rotating parts of the transmission. Aerated fluid will cause erratic control pressure, and the
aerated fluid may be forced from the vent.
A fluid level that is too low will affect transmission operation. Low fluid level may indicate fluid leaks
that may cause transmission damage.
CAUTION: Use of any fluid other than specified could result in transmission malfunction or failure.
Use only Motorcraft MERCON or MERCON V Automatic Transmission Fluid or equivalent in all
Ford automatic transmissions. Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type will be used.
Add fluid in 0.24 L (0.5 pint) increments through the fluid filler tube to bring the level to the correct
area on the fluid level indicator. If an overfill occurs, remove excess fluid.

Partial Drain and Refill
NOTE: MERCON Automatic Transmission Fluid is being replaced by MERCON V as a service
fluid.
Normal maintenance requires periodic automatic transmission fluid changes. If a major service,
such as a clutch, band, bearing, etc., is required, the automatic transmission fluid will also have to
be removed for service. At this time, the torque converter, transmission cooler, cooler inlet tube and
cooler tube must be thoroughly flushed to remove any dirt. When used under continuous or severe
conditions, the transmission and torque converter should be drained and refilled with fluid as
specified.
Normal Maintenance
Change fluid at 48,279 km (30,000 miles).
Severe Duty/Major Overhaul
Change fluid at 33,795 km (21,000 miles).
CAUTION: Use of a fluid other than specified could result in transmission malfunction and/or
failure.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed,
a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through
fourth gears or first through third gears only. The PCM energizes the transmission control indicator
lamp (TCIL) when the switch has been pressed to cancel overdrive. The TCIL indicates overdrive
cancel mode activated (lamp on) and electronic pressure control (EPC) circuit shorted (lamp
flashing) or monitored sensor failure.

Shift Interlock Switch: Description and Operation
The brake shift interlock actuator prevents moving the shift lever out of the PARK position unless
the brake pedal is depressed. The actuator receives a signal from the brake on/off (BOO) switch
that allows movement of the shift lever.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 6131
To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Sensors and Switches - A/T
> Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > New Digital
Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 6132
When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

Shift Cable: Recalls Recall 97V17100: A/T Shift Cable Defect
Vehicle Description: Light duty pickup trucks and multi-purpose passenger vehicles. If the
automatic transmission shift cable assembly was not fully attached to the steering column bracket,
the shift cable assembly can come out of the bracket. The vehicle operator would then not be able
to shift the transmission from one of the drive gear positions into the park position even though the
gear shift selector would indicate "Park." The condition would not allow a disengagement of the
transmission from the park position or affect proper neutral start switch operation. Unintended
vehicle movement could occur if the parking brake was not set. Dealers will make the proper
attachment of the transmission shift control cable to the steering column bracket and add a tie strap
to that connection. Owner notification is expected to begin October 20, 1997. Owners who take
their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free
remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

to shift the transmission from one of the drive gear positions into the park position even though the
gear shift selector would indicate "Park."
The condition would not allow a disengagement of the transmission from the park position or affect
proper neutral start switch operation. Unintended vehicle movement could occur if the parking
brake was not set.
Dealers will make the proper attachment of the transmission shift control cable to the steering
column bracket and add a tie strap to that connection.
Owner notification is expected to begin October 20, 1997. Owners who take their vehicles to an
authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a
reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: Some 1996 and all 1997 E4OD transmissions have been built with a needle bearing
located between the forward planetary carrier and forward ring gear hub. This is a revised design
for 1997 which was pulled ahead as a running change for 1996. This needle bearing replaces the #
10A thrust washer. The slots in the planet carrier for the thrust washer tabs were also removed.
The forward ring gear hub was changed to accommodate the needle bearing instead of the thrust
washer.
ACTION: If service is required on the needle bearing, hub or planet assembly, use a new Service
kit (F7TZ-7B067-AB) to service these components. This kit will service all E4OD transmissions.
The new design forward planet carrier # 10A needle bearing, forward ring gear hub and forward
planet assemblies are not interchangeable with the past design components. Refer to the following
Service Procedure and Part Application Chart for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
IF THE FORWARD PLANET CARRIER HAS SLOTS (FIGURE 1) FOR THE THRUST WASHER
TABS, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED UNLESS IT IS DAMAGED. THE PLANET
CARRIER MUST HAVE SLOTS TO BE USED WITH THE # 10A THRUST WASHER. EITHER
PLANET ASSEMBLY WITH OR WITHOUT SLOTS CAN BE USED WITH THE BEARING.

ISSUE
Some vehicles equipped with the E4OD/4R100 transmission may exhibit the torque converter
external access dust plug dislodging and falling out during severe duty use. This may be caused by
a combination of stack up tolerance, material shrinkage over time and loading being applied to the
plug during usage or cleaning of the underside of the vehicle.
ACTION
Obtain new plug (E9TZ-7N171-A) and apply 1/4" bead of silicone sealant around entire perimeter
of part and install plug into transmission case. The silicone is to be applied in the groove of the part
such that when it is installed, the sealant will till any gaps between the transmission case and the
plug.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Obtain service part E9TZ-7N171-A, F7TZ-19554-AA and general purpose degreaser such as
Motorcraft Brake Parts Cleaner, PM-4.
2. Clean transmission case casting in the area of the plug using general purpose degreaser making
sure the area is free from grease and other contaminants.
3. Apply a 1/4" bead of silicone sealant F7TZ-19554-AA to plug E9TZ-7N171-A making sure that
the groove in the plug is filled with silicone sealant.

Torque Converter: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Torque Converter The transmission uses a four-element torque converter to transmit and multiply
torque. It contains the standard three elements which transmit and multiply torque: Impeller.
- Turbine.
- Reactor.
- Torque converter clutch.
The torque converter clutch increases fuel economy in 3rd and 4th gears.
OPERATION
The operation of the torque converter components is as follows: Rotation of the converter housing and impeller set the fluid in motion.
- The turbine reacts to the fluid motion from the impeller, transferring rotation to the geartrain.
The reactor redirects fluid going back into the impeller, allowing for torque multiplication.
The addition of a torque converter clutch to the torque converter provides a mechanical link
between the converter housing and the engine, allowing for direct transfer of power from the engine
to the geartrain.
The torque converter clutch is applied and released by fluid pressure, which is controlled by the
powertrain control module (PCM) through a torque converter clutch solenoid (TCC solenoid) in the
main control valve body.
IMPELLER AND COVER
The impeller and cover drive the impeller blades, contain hydraulic fluid, and provide a mating
surface for the torque converter clutch. The impeller hub also drives the fluid pump gear.
TURBINE
The turbine is a sectioned, donut-shaped steel stamping that is splined to the input shaft. It is
driven by fluid from the impeller and transmits this power to the geartrain. Because of its basic
shape, the turbine automatically directs fluid back to the impeller.
REACTOR
The reactor redirects the fluid flow returned to the impeller from the turbine so that the fluid moves
in the same direction as engine/impeller rotation. This action aids in torque multiplication because it
adds torque to that already supplied by the engine. The reactor contains a one-way clutch that
holds it stationary when torque multiplication is necessary, but allows freewheeling at higher
speeds when torque multiplication is not necessary.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
The pressure plate attaches to the back of the turbine and can be applied against the cover to
allow for a mechanical transfer of engine torque to the geartrain. This occurs mainly in third and
fourth gears when torque multiplication is no longer necessary. (Converter clutch application may
also occur in second gear under certain conditions.)
The pressure plate works much like a regular mechanical clutch. Apply, release and controlled slip
of the clutch are controlled by opposing fluid forces on each side of the pressure plate.

This article supersedes TSB 00-1-5.
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 Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Cooler, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Transmission Cooler: > 03-14-8 >
Jul > 03 > A/T - Cooler Flushing Service Tips > Page 6301
^ 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.

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 Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Cooler, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Transmission Cooler: > 03-14-8 > Jul
> 03 > A/T - Cooler Flushing Service Tips > Page 6326
^ 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
All vehicles with automatic transmissions are equipped with an integral transmission fluid cooler.
The integral transmission fluid cooler is contained inside of the radiator outlet tank and cannot be
repaired separately. Some vehicles are equipped with an optional auxiliary transmission fluid cooler
that is mounted in front of the radiator. In operation, transmission fluid travels from the transmission
to the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, if equipped, to the integral transmission fluid cooler then
back to the transmission. The integral transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from the transmission
fluid to the engine coolant. The auxiliary transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from the
transmission fluid to outside air.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6364
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6370
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6371
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6372
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6374
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6378
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These

speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6380
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6381
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6382
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6451
Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6452
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Spin the tire by hand to check the wheel bearings for roughness.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

Seals and Gaskets: Service and Repair Inspection
Leaks at the axle drive pinion seal originate for the following reasons:
- Seal was not properly installed.
- Poor quality seal journal surface.
Any damage to the seal bore (dings, dents, gouges, or other imperfections) will distort the seal
casing and allow leakage past the outer edge of the axle drive pinion seal.
The axle drive pinion seal can be torn, cut, or gouged if it is not assembled carefully. The spring
that holds the axle drive pinion seal against the axle universal joint flange may be knocked out and
allow leakage past the lip.
The rubber lips can occasionally become hard (like plastic) with cracks at the oil lip contact point.
The contact point on the axle universal joint flange may become black, indicating excessive heat.
Marks, nicks, gouges, or rough surface texture on the seal journal of the axle universal joint flange
will also cause leaks.
Axle drive pinion seal wear 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) or greater is considered excessive.
The axle universal joint flange should be replaced if any of these conditions exist.
Metal chips or sand trapped at the sealing lip may also cause oil leaks. This can cause a wear
groove on the axle universal joint flange and heavy pinion seal wear.
When a seal leak occurs, replace the seal and check the vent and the vent hose to make sure they
are clean and free of debris.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6667
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

round tires because of variations in the inner tire construction. This condition can occur at wheel
rotation frequency or twice rotation frequency.
Transient Momentary, short duration.
Two-Plane Balance Radial and lateral balance.
Vibration Any motion, shaking or trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back
and forth or up and down.
Whine A constant, high-pitched noise. Also described as a screech.
Whistle High-pitched noise (above 500Hz) with a very narrow frequency band. Examples of whistle
noises are a turbocharger or airflow around an antenna.
Wind Noise Any noise caused by air movement in, out or around the vehicle.
WOT Wide-open throttle
Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6673
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6674
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6675
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6677
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6680
To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6681
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6682
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6683
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6684
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6685
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6755
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed,
a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through
fourth gears or first through third gears only. The PCM energizes the transmission control indicator
lamp (TCIL) when the switch has been pressed to cancel overdrive. The TCIL indicates overdrive
cancel mode activated (lamp on) and electronic pressure control (EPC) circuit shorted (lamp

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6842
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6848
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6849
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6850
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6852
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6856
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6858
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6859
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6860
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6929
Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6930
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

^ The pinion gear depth is correct. Decrease the differential ring gear backlash.
Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
Wheel Bearing Check
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
Raise the vehicle until the front tires are off the floor.
^ Make sure the wheels are in a straight forward position.
2. Note:
Make sure the wheel rotates freely and that the brake pads are retraced sufficiently to allow free
movement of the tire and wheel assembly.
Spin the tire by hand to check the wheel bearings for roughness.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed,
a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through
fourth gears or first through third gears only. The PCM energizes the transmission control indicator
lamp (TCIL) when the switch has been pressed to cancel overdrive. The TCIL indicates overdrive
cancel mode activated (lamp on) and electronic pressure control (EPC) circuit shorted (lamp
flashing) or monitored sensor failure.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

Description and Operation
Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed,
a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through
fourth gears or first through third gears only. The PCM energizes the transmission control indicator
lamp (TCIL) when the switch has been pressed to cancel overdrive. The TCIL indicates overdrive
cancel mode activated (lamp on) and electronic pressure control (EPC) circuit shorted (lamp
flashing) or monitored sensor failure.

ISSUE: Beginning with Job 1 1997, some vehicles will be equipped with a new Digital Transmission
Range (DTR) sensor. The DTR sensor is located on the outside of the transmission (Figure 1) at
the outer manual lever.
ACTION: Refer to the following text to properly diagnose a concern with the DTR sensor.
The new DTR sensor completes the start circuit in "Park" and "Neutral," the backup lamp circuit in
"Reverse" and the neutral sense circuit (4X4 only) in "Neutral."
The DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of four (4) switches that are monitored by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the position of the transmission manual lever.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > New Digital Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 7052
To properly diagnose the DTR sensor, use the NGS, Rotunda Transmission Tester with TR/MLP
Cable "E" (Figure 2) and the new DTR Sensor Overlay (Figure 4), while following the procedures
outlined in the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual, Section 07-01 or appropriate model 1997
Workshop Manual, Section 307-01. The new DTR Sensor Overlay (007-00131) and updated Tester
Manual was sent to all dealers in August 1996. The TR/MLP Cable "E" (007-00111) was sent to all
dealers in June 1995 (refer to TSB 95-19-7).

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > New Digital Transmission Range Sensor - Service Tip > Page 7053
When using Cable "E" (Figure 3) to diagnose the DTR sensor, the slide switch must be in the
"Digital" position and the "Black" 12-pin connector installed on the sensor. Having the slide switch
in the incorrect position or using the incorrect 12-pin connector will result in misdiagnosis and
possible replacement of a good component.
For diagnosis of the DTR sensor, always refer to the appropriate model 1997 Service Manual,
Section 07.01 or appropriate model 1997 Workshop Manual, Section 3O7-01 for proper procedure
and required equipment.

Code." This may be caused by the Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) chip inside the
anti-lock brake control module not resetting at low residual voltages. ABS brake function may
become inoperative, however, normal braking operation will be maintained.
ACTION Replace the anti-lock brake control module. Modules with a build date of 2/19/98 or later
have been revised to incorporate a new NVRAM chip. Refer to the appropriate Workshop Manual,
Section 206-09, for replacement procedures.

1520000 Summary:
Vehicle Description: Multi-purpose vehicles and light duty pickup trucks. The lug nuts on these
vehicles may not create sufficient clamp load allowing wheel movement in relation to the hub/rotor
mounting surface.
This can result in the loosening of lug nuts, stud fatigue failure, and the potential for a wheel
separation from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Dealers will inspect the wheel studs and replace the wheel lug nuts.
Owner notification is expected to begin July 20, 1998. Owners who take their vehicles to an
authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a
reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

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

ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
COMPONENTS
The Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) consists of the anti-lock brake control module and
the hydraulic control unit (HCU).
NOTE: The anti-lock brake control module can be replaced if it is inoperative. If the HCU is
inoperative, the EHCU must be replaced as an assembly.
PURPOSE
The EHCU monitors the electromechanical components of the system. Malfunction of the anti-lock
brake system will cause the EHCU to shut off or inhibit the system. However, normal
power-assisted braking remains. Malfunctions are indicated by the yellow ABS warning indicator in
the instrument cluster.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied, brake fluid is forced from the brake master cylinder outlet ports to the
Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) inlet ports. The fluid pressure is transmitted through three normally
open solenoid valves inside the HCU, through the outlet ports of HCU to the rear brakes. One
circuit of the brake master cylinder feeds the front brakes, while the other circuit feeds the rear
brakes. If the Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit ( EHCU) senses that a wheel is about to lock, based
on wheel speed sensor data, the solenoid valve will pulse closed preventing more fluid from
entering that circuit. The HCU then reads the sensor signal from the affected wheel again. If the
wheel is still decelerating, the normally closed solenoid valve for that circuit is opened. Any
remaining pressure between the normally open valve and the brake is relieved into the HCU
accumulator. Once the affected wheel returns to vehicle speed, the HCU returns the solenoid
valves to their normal condition allowing fluid flow to the affected brake.
Brake Pulsation During the 4WABS operation, the driver may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal,
accompanied by a slight up and down movement in the pedal height. In addition, a mechanical
noise from the engine compartment may be heard. The pedal effort and pedal feel during normal
braking are similar to that of a conventional power brake system.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Caliper Bleeding Procedure
WARNING:
^ Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. if brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get
medical attention immediately.
CAUTION:
^ Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep
the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid
that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
^ Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or
plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
NOTE:
^ When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air may
get in to the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires the bleeding of the
affected portions of the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected. The hydraulic
system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment Brake Bleeder.
1. Connect a clear waste line to the affected disc brake caliper bleeder screw and submerge the
free end of the tube in a container partially filled with
clean brake fluid.
2. Open the bleeder screw and cycle the brake pedal 25 to 30 times or until no more air is seen at
the waste line.
Tighten Disc Brake Caliper Bleeder Screw
3. Tighten the disc brake caliper bleeder screw to proper specification. 4. Disconnect the waste
line. 5. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid,

Brake Caliper: Technician Safety Information
WARNING:
^ Asbestos fiber dust may be present on brake and clutch assemblies and is hazardous to health if
inhaled. Brake and clutch assemblies should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner recommended for
use with asbestos fibers such as brake/clutch/service vacuum. The bag must be labeled per osha
instructions, sealed, and the trash hauler notified as to the bag's contents. If a vacuum suitable for
asbestos is not available, cleaning should be done wet. If dust generation is still possible,
technicians should wear government-approved toxic dust purifying respirators. Grinding or sanding
brake linings, pads, rotors, drums or clutch facings should be performed using properly
exhaust-ventilated equipment. Occupational Health And Safety Act (OSHA) requires areas where
asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs. Only technicians
performing brake or clutch repair should be present in the area.
^ The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or
deflation of the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
^ Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. if brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get
medical attention immediately.
^ Always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign material present on the mounting surfaces of the
wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or front disc brake rotor that contacts the wheel.
Installing wheels without proper metal to metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause
the lug nuts to loosen and could allow the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, causing
loss of control.

ISSUE: This TSB article is intended to give a technician information regarding brake repairs to help
reduce unnecessary repairs.
ACTION: Refer to the following list when performing brake repairs.
^ Where rotors are the causal part, linings should only be replaced if they are damaged, e.g.,
cracked, taper wear, heavily grooved, etc., or if specifically instructed in a TSB.
^ Where linings are the causal part, rotors should not be machined unless they are heavily grooved
or if specifically instructed in a TSB.
Other exceptions would include instances where the non-causal parts are found to be below
minimum serviceable thickness or if the technician estimates that the parts will not last until the
next service interval. Since these parts are classified as wear items (such as: linings, pads, rotors,
and drums) replacement is not covered under warranty.

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

ISSUE: This TSB article is intended to give a technician information regarding brake repairs to help
reduce unnecessary repairs.
ACTION: Refer to the following list when performing brake repairs.
^ Where rotors are the causal part, linings should only be replaced if they are damaged, e.g.,
cracked, taper wear, heavily grooved, etc., or if specifically instructed in a TSB.
^ Where linings are the causal part, rotors should not be machined unless they are heavily grooved
or if specifically instructed in a TSB.
Other exceptions would include instances where the non-causal parts are found to be below
minimum serviceable thickness or if the technician estimates that the parts will not last until the
next service interval. Since these parts are classified as wear items (such as: linings, pads, rotors,
and drums) replacement is not covered under warranty.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Technician Safety Information
WARNING:
^ Asbestos fiber dust may be present on brake and clutch assemblies and is hazardous to health if
inhaled. Brake and clutch assemblies should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner recommended for
use with asbestos fibers such as brake/clutch/service vacuum. The bag must be labeled per osha
instructions, sealed, and the trash hauler notified as to the bag's contents. If a vacuum suitable for
asbestos is not available, cleaning should be done wet. If dust generation is still possible,
technicians should wear government-approved toxic dust purifying respirators. Grinding or sanding
brake linings, pads, rotors, drums or clutch facings should be performed using properly
exhaust-ventilated equipment. Occupational Health And Safety Act (OSHA) requires areas where
asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs. Only technicians
performing brake or clutch repair should be present in the area.
^ The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or
deflation of the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
^ Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. if brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get
medical attention immediately.
^ Always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign material present on the mounting surfaces of the
wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or front disc brake rotor that contacts the wheel.
Installing wheels without proper metal to metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause
the lug nuts to loosen and could allow the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, causing
loss of control.

Brake Caliper: Technician Safety Information
WARNING:
^ Asbestos fiber dust may be present on brake and clutch assemblies and is hazardous to health if
inhaled. Brake and clutch assemblies should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner recommended for
use with asbestos fibers such as brake/clutch/service vacuum. The bag must be labeled per osha
instructions, sealed, and the trash hauler notified as to the bag's contents. If a vacuum suitable for
asbestos is not available, cleaning should be done wet. If dust generation is still possible,
technicians should wear government-approved toxic dust purifying respirators. Grinding or sanding
brake linings, pads, rotors, drums or clutch facings should be performed using properly
exhaust-ventilated equipment. Occupational Health And Safety Act (OSHA) requires areas where
asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs. Only technicians
performing brake or clutch repair should be present in the area.
^ The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or
deflation of the air springs which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
^ Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. if brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
Brake Master Cylinder Fluid Control Valve
PURPOSE
The brake master cylinder fluid control valve regulates the hydraulic pressure in the rear brake
system. It is located on the brake master cylinder and is screwed into the rearmost outlet port.
When the brake pedal is applied, the full brake pressure passes through the brake master cylinder
fluid control valve to the rear brake system until the valve's split point is reached. Above its split
point, the brake master cylinder fluid control valve begins to reduce the hydraulic pressure to the
rear brakes, creating a balanced braking condition between the front and rear wheels to minimize
rear wheel lockup during
In Case Of The Front Brake System Malfunction - the brake master cylinder fluid control valve has
a bypass feature which allows full hydraulic pressure to the rear brake system.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied, brake fluid is forced from the brake master cylinder outlet ports to the
Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) inlet ports. The fluid pressure is transmitted through three normally
open solenoid valves inside the HCU, through the outlet ports of HCU to the rear brakes. One
circuit of the brake master cylinder feeds the front brakes, while the other circuit feeds the rear
brakes. If the Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit ( EHCU) senses that a wheel is about to lock, based
on wheel speed sensor data, the solenoid valve will pulse closed preventing more fluid from
entering that circuit. The HCU then reads the sensor signal from the affected wheel again. If the
wheel is still decelerating, the normally closed solenoid valve for that circuit is opened. Any
remaining pressure between the normally open valve and the brake is relieved into the HCU
accumulator. Once the affected wheel returns to vehicle speed, the HCU returns the solenoid
valves to their normal condition allowing fluid flow to the affected brake.
Brake Pulsation During the 4WABS operation, the driver may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal,
accompanied by a slight up and down movement in the pedal height. In addition, a mechanical
noise from the engine compartment may be heard. The pedal effort and pedal feel during normal
braking are similar to that of a conventional power brake system.

Brake Master Cylinder: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
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 master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake master
cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and fall during release. The net fluid level (i.e.,
after brake application and release) will remain unchanged.
Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting
flange. This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.
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 for abnormal condition diagnosis.

Brake Master Cylinder: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Bypass Conditions Test
1. Check the fluid in the brake master cylinder. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir if low or
empty.
2. Observe the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If after several brake applications
the fluid level remains the same, measure the
wheel turning torque required to rotate the wheels with brakes applied as follows:
^ Apply the brakes slowly to a minimum of 445 N (100 lbs) of force and hold for approximately 15
seconds. With the brakes still applied, exert torque on the front wheels to 101 Nm (75 ft. lbs.). If the
wheel can be rotated, the brake master cylinder is bypassing.
^ Repair or replace the brake master cylinder. See: Service and Repair/Master Cylinder, Brakes
Compensator Port Test
SUPPLYING ADDITIONAL FLUID
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.
FLUID RETURN
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.
Non-Pressure Leaks
BRAKE FLUID LOSS
The only part of the brake system that could have a brake fluid loss that does not appear when the
system is under pressure is the brake master cylinder reservoir area. Brake fluid loss could be
caused by a missing or poorly-fitted brake master cylinder filler cap, a punctured or otherwise
damaged brake master cylinder reservoir, a missing or damaged brake master cylinder filler cap
gasket or by missing, damaged or poorly-fitted sealing grommets between the brake master
cylinder and the brake master cylinder reservoir.
CAUTION: The brake master cylinder reservoir grommets are not separately serviceable and must
be replaced as a unit with a new brake master cylinder reservoir. See: Service and Repair/Master

WHEN TO PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE
This procedure only needs to be performed if the 4WABS hydraulic control unit (HCU) has been
replaced.
DESCRIPTION
One conventional pressure bleed cycle consists of advancing the brake pedal to its depressed
position, opening the rear disc brake caliper bleeder screw, allowing fluid to be released into the
waste container, closing the rear disc brake caliper bleeder screw and releasing the brake pedal to
its full upright position.
PURPOSE
Performing the NGS program routine drives entrapped air from the otherwise inaccessible lower
section of the 4WABS valve into the upper sections (accessible by bleeding the brakes).
Subsequent bleedings remove the air from the system.

^ Is a dual diaphragm, vacuum assisted power brake booster.
^ Reduces brake pedal pressure and travel distance.
^ Is located on the LH side of the bulkhead in the engine compartment, between the brake pedal
and brake master cylinder.
^ Is divided into two separate chambers by the diaphragm.
^ Will not operate if vacuum is restricted, or if the vacuum related power brake components fail.
^ Is replaced as an assembly.
^ If the power assist fails, the brake system will continue to operate, with increased brake pedal
effort.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Power Brake Assist > Vacuum Brake Booster > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 7375
Vacuum Brake Booster: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Inspect all hoses and connections. All unused vacuum connectors should be capped. Hoses and
their connections should be properly secured and in good condition with no holes or collapsed
areas.
1. Remove the vacuum booster hose from the power brake booster and check the valve
connection. Manifold vacuum should 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 and repeat Steps 2 and 3 of the Brake Booster Operation
Check. If no downward movement of the brake pedal is felt, replace the power brake booster.
2. 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), replace the check valve and
retest. If the brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to remove air.

ISSUE The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) lamp may illuminate and Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
B1342 may be stored in memory and/or New Generation Star (NGS) Tester may read "Invalid
Code." This may be caused by the Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) chip inside the
anti-lock brake control module not resetting at low residual voltages. ABS brake function may
become inoperative, however, normal braking operation will be maintained.
ACTION Replace the anti-lock brake control module. Modules with a build date of 2/19/98 or later
have been revised to incorporate a new NVRAM chip. Refer to the appropriate Workshop Manual,
Section 206-09, for replacement procedures.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
COMPONENTS
The Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) consists of the anti-lock brake control module and
the hydraulic control unit (HCU).
NOTE: The anti-lock brake control module can be replaced if it is inoperative. If the HCU is
inoperative, the EHCU must be replaced as an assembly.
PURPOSE
The EHCU monitors the electromechanical components of the system. Malfunction of the anti-lock
brake system will cause the EHCU to shut off or inhibit the system. However, normal
power-assisted braking remains. Malfunctions are indicated by the yellow ABS warning indicator in
the instrument cluster.

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
FLOAT AND MAGNET
The brake 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.
PURPOSE
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 from either the primary (front) or secondary (rear) system will cause this system
to activate. If the brake fluid level warning switch is inoperative, the brake master cylinder reservoir
must be replaced.

ISSUE Increased brake pedal effort and/or false Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) cycling at low
speeds, or ABS lamp illumination may occur on some vehicles. This may be caused by an
incorrectly installed front wheel speed sensor, low vacuum in the brake booster, or a chipped or
broken tooth on the tone ring resulting in reduced output to the ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
ACTION Be sure the front wheel speed sensor is properly installed and the wires are properly
routed. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

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

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

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

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

OPEN CIRCUIT TEST
An open circuit starter motor armature may sometimes be detected by examining the commutator
for evidence of burning.
GROUNDED CIRCUIT TEST
1. This test will determine if any armature winding insulation has been damaged. Measure for
resistance using 73 Digital Multimeter as shown
between the commutator and the core. Infinite resistance indicates a normal condition; otherwise,
replace the starter motor armature.
2. Check for continuity between the commutator and the shaft. Replace the starter motor armature
if continuity is found.

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug
> 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7577
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.

literature) for the location of the fuel pump ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3 ') from the tank,
cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3 ') of the tank to prevent ground wire from acting
as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the operating
ground for the fuel pump.
7. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle as outlined in the appropriate Service or Workshop Manual.

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Electronic Noise Suppressor: >
02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7590
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.

Power Distribution Diagrams Provide the circuit details of how the system diagrams are powered.
The power distribution source is shown at the top of a diagram page. All wires, connectors, and
splices are shown in the same manner that the current flows, ending at the component/system
being powered near the bottom of a diagram page. Circuits that go from one diagram page to
another will be marked with large arrow heads.
The power distribution diagrams can be found at Starting and Charging/Power and Ground

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electronic Noise Suppressor > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7871
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.

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

System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7889
NOTE
HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PER
THIS TSB. USE SUFFICIENT TUBING (ABOUT 50 mm (2 ")) OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE TO
ENTIRELY COVER EACH SOLDERED CONNECTION AND SHRINK APPROPRIATELY TO
PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.
NOTE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT
MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL
TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM
CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE
LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.
WARNING
ALL SOLDERING AND HEAT SHRINKING MUST BE COMPLETED AWAY FROM THE FUEL
TANK AREA. USE A SOLDERING IRON ONLY FOR SOLDERING AND HEAT GUN ONLY FOR
APPLYING SHRINK TUBING.

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

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

ISSUE This TSB article is being published as a comprehensive Noise, Vibration and Harshness
(NVH) diagnostic procedure. This procedure will also be in 2000 model year and future Workshop
Manuals in the NVH Section.
ACTION Utilize the flowchart diagrams to work a problem from SYMPTOM to SYSTEM to
COMPONENT to CAUSE. The tools and techniques section is expanded to include ALL NVH
diagnostic "tools". There are expanded SYMPTOM CHARTS to assist with problem resolution. A
revised NVH course is available through regional training centers. The course is "NVH Principals
and Diagnostics", course code # 30s03t0. This course utilizes the same techniques that are in the
revised diagnostic procedure.
Refer to the Noise, Vibration and Harshness Work Shop Manual Section that is included.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8163
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8164
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

^ Squeak and rattle grease tube
Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8171
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8172
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8173
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8175
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8245
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

^ The pinion gear depth is correct. Decrease the differential ring gear backlash.
Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 8257
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 adjusting sleeve.
The three basic alignment angles are camber, caster and toe. Camber and toe affect tire wear and
directional stability, caster affects directional stability only. Camber, caster and toe settings change
when the vehicle is loaded. The specifications given in this section are static settings with the
vehicle unloaded.
CAMBER
Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the wheels at the top. When the wheels tilt out at the top
the camber is positive (+). When the wheels tilt in at the top the camber is negative (-). The amount
of camber is measured in degrees from vertical.
Steering axis inclination (included angle) is the center line drawn through the ball joints when
viewed from the front.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 8258
CASTER
Caster is the tilting of the steering axis either forward or backward from vertical. A backward tilt is
positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-).
TOE
Toe is a measurement of how much the front of the wheels are turned in or out from the
straight-ahead position. When the wheels are turned in, toe is positive (+)(toe in). When the wheels
are turned out, toe is negative (-)(toe out). Toe is measured in degrees, from side to side and
totaled.
Toe should only be checked and adjusted after the camber and caster have been set to the proper
specifications.
Wheel Track
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 8259
WHEEL TRACK
By design the vehicle has a front track that is wider at the front than the rear. Front track is the
distance between the two front tires; rear track is the distance between the two rear tires.
Dogtracking
DOGTRACKING
Dogtracking is the condition where the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads may give the illusion of dogtracking.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
A microcontroller-based electronic module controls the air compressor motor (through a solid state
relay), and all system solenoids. The module also provides power to front and rear height sensors.
The module controls vehicle height adjustments by monitoring the two height sensors, vehicle
speed, a steering sensor, acceleration input, the door ajar signal, transfer case signals, and the
brake switch. The module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and contains self-test
and communication software for testing of the vehicle and related components.
The control module is mounted in the passenger compartment inside the instrument panel, above
the radio and temperature controls.
The air suspension system control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin
two-way connector. The control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an incorrect
harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the module. Each is uniquely colored
and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

Four Wheel Air Suspension
Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
Two height sensors are mounted on the vehicle. The sensors send a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensors have a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8-10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensors are mounted to the suspension at a point where
full suspension travel at the wheel is relative to 80 mm (3 in) of travel at the height sensor. The
front height sensor upper socket is attached to the bracket to the frame at the upper control arm
mounting area and the lower height sensor socket is attached to the upper control arm bracket.
The rear height sensor is attached between the No. 5 frame crossmember (upper socket) and the
panhard rod (lower socket). Replace a sensor as a unit.
When the height sensor gets shorter the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air compressor
to turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the sensor gets longer the vehicle is
being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim
height level.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Rear Air Suspension
When the height sensor gets shorter the rear of the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air
compressor to turn on and pump compressed air to the air springs. When the sensor gets longer
the rear of the vehicle is being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the air springs to
lower the vehicle back to its trim height level.
One height sensor is mounted on the vehicle. The sensor sends a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensor has a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8 to 10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensor is mounted to the suspension at a point where
full rear suspension travel at the wheel is relative to 80 mm of travel at the height sensor. The rear
height sensor is attached between the No. 5 frame crossmember (upper socket) and the panhard
rod (lower socket). Replace the sensor as a unit.

Steering Shaft: Recalls Recall 03V196000: Steering Shaft/Yoke Inspection
DEFECT: On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, the intermediate shaft yoke can
separate from the steering gear input shaft. This could result in loss of steering control, potentially
resulting in a vehicle crash without warning.
REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the steering intermediate shaft yoke to determine if the yoke is fully
seated on the steering gear input shaft. If the yoke is fully seated, no service is required. If the yoke
is not fully seated and the bolt groove and spline are visible, the intermediate shaft and bolt will be
replaced as well as the bolt at the steering column connection. The manufacturer has reported that

(see Figure 1 top left view), and if the tip of the input shaft is not protruding past the yoke (see
Figure 1 bottom left view), the intermediate shaft is not fully inserted and must be replaced. Refer
to Section 211-04, Steering Column, of the appropriate workshop manual for replacement
procedures.
^ If the yoke is properly installed, the bolt groove and splines on the input shaft will not be visible

LINCOLN: 1998-2002 NAVIGATOR 2002-2003 BLACKWOOD
This article supersedes 03-9-9 to update the vehicle models covered.
ISSUE This article is to be used as an updated procedure for inspecting tie rod end wear.
ACTION This procedure is designed to supplement the Workshop Manual, as it provides a more
detailed tie rod end inspection procedure.
SERVICE INFORMATION
NOTE
FOR ESCAPE VEHICLES, THIS TIE ROD END INSPECTION PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE
COMPLETED ON THE OUTER TIE RODS. FOR ESCAPE INNER TIE ROD INSPECTION
PROCEDURES, REFER TO WORKSHOP MANUAL SECTION 211-00.
Step 1 - Free Play:
Check the outer tie rod ends by grasping by hand and push up and down. Check the inner tie rod
ends, pushing them front to rear. If any free play is observed in a joint, it is worn and should be
replaced.
Step 2 - Stud Lash - Free Play:
While vehicle is on the ground or on a drive-on hoist, have an assistant rotate the steering wheel
rapidly back and forth from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock to 10 o'clock while observing the inner and outer
tie rods. If the outer tie rod ends have any vertical movement or the inner tie rod ends have any
horizontal movement, the tie rod end with the observed movement should be replaced.
Step 3 - Seal Inspection:
Raise the vehicle on a hoist and remove the front wheels. The wheels will need to be turned to the
right in order to inspect the passenger side inner tie rod end and to the left to inspect the drivers
side inner tie rod end. Inspect all four seals for tears, perforations and wear. If there is any
indication of wear or perforations on the seal, that tie rod end should be replaced.
Step 4 - Stud Corrosion:
For Escape Vehicles - If Squeak is noticed during Step 2, disconnect tie rod from knuckle and
articulate stud in socket. If squeak is verified, replace part. While pushing down on seal, at stud
end, if corrosion present at contact point at base of stud, replace part.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Tie Rod > Tie Rod End > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Steering - Tie Rod End Inspection Procedures > Page 8543
For All Other Vehicles Covered In This Article:
Using a wrench, rotate the tie rod end so that the front of the seal on the outer tie rod end is
expanded (Figure 1). Using a puffy knife or other hard, flat, dull object, lift the bottom of the seal up,
exposing the stud (Figure 2). If any water escapes from the seal in the form of bubbles or in a liquid
form, that tie rod end should be replaced. Closely examine the stud for signs of corrosion,
especially around the interface with the knuckle. A rag might be needed to clean off any grease on
the stud that impairs a good visual inspection. If there is any sign of corrosion, that tie rod end
should be replaced.
Rotate the tie rod end in the opposite direction to expand the inner tie rod seal. Repeat the
inspection procedure used on the outer tie rod. Repeat this entire procedure on the other side of
the vehicle. If there is sign of corrosion, that tie rod end should be replaced.
NOTE
IF ANY TIE ROD ENDS ARE REMOVED, INSPECT THE SEAL AND THE STUD AGAIN NOTING
ANY DIFFERENCES IN VISUAL PERCEPTIONS FROM WHEN THE PART WAS ON THE
VEHICLE. CHECKING THE STUD AFTER REMOVAL HELPS IMPROVE CONSCIOUSNESS OF
ISSUES WHEN INSPECTING PARTS ON VEHICLE.

Attachment IV - Revised Technical Instructions
Announcing revised Technical Instructions for Safety Recall 96560 (Expedition Rear Axle Lower
Control Arm/Track Bar Bracket).
The following revisions are necessary because a survey of axles inspected by dealers has
revealed that most of these axles did not actually need to be replaced.
SUPPLEMENTAL TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Determine the vehicle build date prior to axle inspection.
2. If vehicle build date is August 10, 1996 or later, no axle inspection and/or replacement is
required. However, track bar repairs may still be required for the vehicle. Please begin directly at
Step # 4 of the original Technical Instructions if build date is August 10, 1996 or later.
3. If vehicle build date is August 9, 1996 or earlier, please proceed with axle inspection as detailed
in the original Technical Instructions EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:
a. Remove the axle identification tape (if present) from the right hand axle tube assembly to reveal
the date code stamp.
b. If you cannot find date code on both axle tube assemblies, call Ford Axle Hot Line at 1
-800-FORD-AXL (1-800-3673-295) before ordering replacement axle assembly to confirm
replacement requirements. Please have vehicle VIN and build date available.
c. Upon completion of Axle inspection/replacement, proceed to Step # 4 of the original Technical
Instructions for Track Bar repair.
4. When attaching the track bar bracket reinforcement kit (Part Number F75Z-5L005-AA), torque
the bolts to 68 Nm (50 lb. ft.), NOT 81.4 Nm (60 lb. ft.).
5. Also, when installing the track bar bracket reinforcement kit, the plates should fit flush to the

Attachment IV - Revised Technical Instructions
Announcing revised Technical Instructions for Safety Recall 96560 (Expedition Rear Axle Lower
Control Arm/Track Bar Bracket).
The following revisions are necessary because a survey of axles inspected by dealers has
revealed that most of these axles did not actually need to be replaced.
SUPPLEMENTAL TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Determine the vehicle build date prior to axle inspection.
2. If vehicle build date is August 10, 1996 or later, no axle inspection and/or replacement is
required. However, track bar repairs may still be required for the vehicle. Please begin directly at
Step # 4 of the original Technical Instructions if build date is August 10, 1996 or later.
3. If vehicle build date is August 9, 1996 or earlier, please proceed with axle inspection as detailed
in the original Technical Instructions EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:
a. Remove the axle identification tape (if present) from the right hand axle tube assembly to reveal
the date code stamp.
b. If you cannot find date code on both axle tube assemblies, call Ford Axle Hot Line at 1
-800-FORD-AXL (1-800-3673-295) before ordering replacement axle assembly to confirm
replacement requirements. Please have vehicle VIN and build date available.
c. Upon completion of Axle inspection/replacement, proceed to Step # 4 of the original Technical
Instructions for Track Bar repair.
4. When attaching the track bar bracket reinforcement kit (Part Number F75Z-5L005-AA), torque
the bolts to 68 Nm (50 lb. ft.), NOT 81.4 Nm (60 lb. ft.).
5. Also, when installing the track bar bracket reinforcement kit, the plates should fit flush to the

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
A microcontroller-based electronic module controls the air compressor motor (through a solid state
relay), and all system solenoids. The module also provides power to front and rear height sensors.
The module controls vehicle height adjustments by monitoring the two height sensors, vehicle
speed, a steering sensor, acceleration input, the door ajar signal, transfer case signals, and the
brake switch. The module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and contains self-test
and communication software for testing of the vehicle and related components.
The control module is mounted in the passenger compartment inside the instrument panel, above
the radio and temperature controls.
The air suspension system control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin
two-way connector. The control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an incorrect
harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the module. Each is uniquely colored
and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
Two height sensors are mounted on the vehicle. The sensors send a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensors have a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8-10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensors are mounted to the suspension at a point where
full suspension travel at the wheel is relative to 80 mm (3 in) of travel at the height sensor. The
front height sensor upper socket is attached to the bracket to the frame at the upper control arm
mounting area and the lower height sensor socket is attached to the upper control arm bracket.
The rear height sensor is attached between the No. 5 frame crossmember (upper socket) and the
panhard rod (lower socket). Replace a sensor as a unit.
When the height sensor gets shorter the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air compressor
to turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the sensor gets longer the vehicle is
being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim
height level.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Rear Air Suspension
When the height sensor gets shorter the rear of the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air
compressor to turn on and pump compressed air to the air springs. When the sensor gets longer
the rear of the vehicle is being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the air springs to
lower the vehicle back to its trim height level.
One height sensor is mounted on the vehicle. The sensor sends a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensor has a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8 to 10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensor is mounted to the suspension at a point where
full rear suspension travel at the wheel is relative to 80 mm of travel at the height sensor. The rear
height sensor is attached between the No. 5 frame crossmember (upper socket) and the panhard
rod (lower socket). Replace the sensor as a unit.

ISSUE Some 1997-2002 Expedition 4X4 and 1998-2002 Navigator 4X4 vehicles equipped with
4-wheel air suspension, may exhibit repeat air compressor drier failures. The drier cap may
become detached from the drier body, or the drier body may be broken at the neck near the
compressor head. This may be due to incomplete or incorrect system diagnosis that leads to
replacement of only the original air suspension compressor, despite the fact that the compressor is
not the root cause of the concern. Compressor failure in these instances is only a symptom of an
underlying system problem.
ACTION Refer to the service information contained in this TSB for information on proper diagnosis
of system issues. Be sure to check the system for proper pneumatic function as described during
service to ensure a robust repair.
SERVICE INFORMATION
Overview
Proper pneumatic function can be tested by verifying that both the front AND the rear of the vehicle
can be raised and lowered one inch using a scan tool, and by monitoring the height sensor PIDs for
movement while the vehicle is in the service bay. If the vehicle does not raise and lower normally,
check the solenoid valves and air lines for blockages and/or restrictions. Replace any blocked or
restricted solenoids and air lines. ALWAYS check for proper pneumatic function before returning
the vehicle back to the customer.
NOTE
DISCONNECTING AN AIR LINE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS AS HIGH PRESSURE IS
VENTED UNCONTROLLED.
If diagnostics lead to compressor/dryer assembly replacement, use the following service procedure
to insure complete and thorough service.
1. Using the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester, vent the compressor/drier assembly.
2. Using regulated shop air, blow out the air lines from the drier to the front fill solenoid valve and
from the drier to the rear fill solenoid valve, before installing the new compressor assembly.
3. Replace the air suspension compressor assembly. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05
for compressor installation instructions.
4. Replace the front fill solenoid. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05 for replacement
instructions. The front fill solenoid must be replaced because in these cases, it may have sustained
damage from the drier desiccant or other contaminants.
5. Connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester to the vehicle while the vehicle is parked in the
service bay with the engine running.

Drier Failures > Page 8739
6. Install a pressure gauge capable of reading 400 PSI at the front air line (Figure 1). Using the
scan tool, command the compressor ON. Check the output of the compressor on the gauge:
a. If the compressor does not output at least 110 PSI within 30 seconds, replace the compressor
again and retest.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT THE SUSPENSION RAISES PROPERLY.
7. Using the scan tool, command the front of the vehicle to raise up one inch. The front suspension
should rise one inch in 25 seconds or less.
a. If the compressor output is near 300 PSI, check4or air line or solenoid restrictions, repair as
necessary and retest. Otherwise, proceed to Step 7b.
NOTE
SUSPENSION UPWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF THE
FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD DECREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
b. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT raise, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves or pinched air
lines. If an issue is found, repair as required and repeat Step 7 to verify proper operation.
c. If no problem found, continue to Step 8.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT SUSPENSION PROPERLY.
8. If the front of the vehicle DOES raise, use the scan tool to command the front of the vehicle to
lower one inch. The front suspension should lower one inch in 20 seconds or less.
NOTE
SUSPENSION DOWNWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF
THE FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD INCREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
a. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT lower, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or pinched air lines. Repair air
lines or replace solenoid valves as required.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the rear. Command the rear of the vehicle, and monitor the rear height
sensor PID. Voltages should increase when the vehicle is lowered, and decrease when the vehicle
is raised. If the rear of the vehicle does not raise and lower as commanded, inspect the rear
pneumatic system for leaks, inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or
pinched air lines, and repair as necessary.

CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS AS HIGH PRESSURE IS
VENTED UNCONTROLLED.
If diagnostics lead to compressor/dryer assembly replacement, use the following service procedure
to insure complete and thorough service.
1. Using the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester, vent the compressor/drier assembly.
2. Using regulated shop air, blow out the air lines from the drier to the front fill solenoid valve and
from the drier to the rear fill solenoid valve, before installing the new compressor assembly.
3. Replace the air suspension compressor assembly. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05
for compressor installation instructions.
4. Replace the front fill solenoid. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05 for replacement
instructions. The front fill solenoid must be replaced because in these cases, it may have sustained
damage from the drier desiccant or other contaminants.
5. Connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester to the vehicle while the vehicle is parked in the
service bay with the engine running.

6. Install a pressure gauge capable of reading 400 PSI at the front air line (Figure 1). Using the
scan tool, command the compressor ON. Check the output of the compressor on the gauge:
a. If the compressor does not output at least 110 PSI within 30 seconds, replace the compressor
again and retest.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT THE SUSPENSION RAISES PROPERLY.
7. Using the scan tool, command the front of the vehicle to raise up one inch. The front suspension
should rise one inch in 25 seconds or less.
a. If the compressor output is near 300 PSI, check4or air line or solenoid restrictions, repair as
necessary and retest. Otherwise, proceed to Step 7b.
NOTE
SUSPENSION UPWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF THE
FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD DECREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
b. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT raise, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves or pinched air
lines. If an issue is found, repair as required and repeat Step 7 to verify proper operation.
c. If no problem found, continue to Step 8.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT SUSPENSION PROPERLY.
8. If the front of the vehicle DOES raise, use the scan tool to command the front of the vehicle to
lower one inch. The front suspension should lower one inch in 20 seconds or less.
NOTE
SUSPENSION DOWNWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF
THE FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD INCREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
a. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT lower, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or pinched air lines. Repair air
lines or replace solenoid valves as required.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the rear. Command the rear of the vehicle, and monitor the rear height
sensor PID. Voltages should increase when the vehicle is lowered, and decrease when the vehicle
is raised. If the rear of the vehicle does not raise and lower as commanded, inspect the rear
pneumatic system for leaks, inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or
pinched air lines, and repair as necessary.

Rear Air Spring
The 4WAS vehicles use a pneumatic spring in the rear. The pneumatic spring is essentially a
column of gas confined in a container, utilizing the pressure of the gas as the force medium of the
spring. The ability of the gas to compress provides the desired elasticity for the spring. The air
suspension system regulates the pressure in each air spring by compressing and venting system
air. Increasing air pressure (compressing) raises the vehicle; decreasing air pressure (venting)
lowers the vehicle. Vehicle height is maintained by the addition and removal of air in each air spring
through an integral solenoid assembled to the upper spring cap and energized through the control
module command.
The air spring assemblies are mounted between the axle spring seats and the frame upper spring
seats.
The air springs replace the conventional coil springs.
Front Air Shock Absorbers
There are different shock absorbers used for 4WAS air suspension system vehicles. 4WAS uses a
conventional air shock. Enclosed in each shock absorber is an air spring. To replace a faulty shock
absorber, replace the shock absorber as a unit.
The air spring integrated into each air shock is capable of independently raising and lowering each
corner of the vehicle based upon the pressure and volume of air supplied. The air suspension
system regulates the pressure in each air shock by compressing and venting system air. Increasing
air pressure (compressing) raises the vehicle and increases the total spring rate (spring effect of
the air shock plus the front torsion bar) of the wheel being modified. Conversely, decreasing air
pressure (venting) lowers the vehicle and effective spring rate. Vehicle height is then maintained by
the addition and removal of air in each air shock.

Article 03-7-9 is being republished in its entirety to update the Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 1997-2002 Expedition 4X4 and 1998-2002 Navigator 4X4 vehicles equipped with
4-wheel air suspension, may exhibit repeat air compressor drier failures. The drier cap may
become detached from the drier body, or the drier body may be broken at the neck near the
compressor head. This may be due to incomplete or incorrect system diagnosis that leads to
replacement of only the original air suspension compressor, despite the fact that the compressor is
not the root cause of the concern. Compressor failure in these instances is only a symptom of an
underlying system problem.
ACTION Refer to the service information contained in this TSB for information on proper diagnosis
of system issues. Be sure to check the system for proper pneumatic function as described during
service to ensure a robust repair.
SERVICE INFORMATION
Overview
Proper pneumatic function can be tested by verifying that both the front AND the rear of the vehicle
can be raised and lowered one inch using a scan tool, and by monitoring the height sensor PIDs for
movement while the vehicle is in the service bay. If the vehicle does not raise and lower normally,
check the solenoid valves and air lines for blockages and/or restrictions. Replace any blocked or
restricted solenoids and air lines. ALWAYS check for proper pneumatic function before returning
the vehicle back to the customer.
NOTE
DISCONNECTING AN AIR LINE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS AS HIGH PRESSURE IS
VENTED UNCONTROLLED.
If diagnostics lead to compressor/dryer assembly replacement, use the following service procedure
to insure complete and thorough service.
1. Using the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester, vent the compressor/drier assembly.
2. Using regulated shop air, blow out the air lines from the drier to the front fill solenoid valve and
from the drier to the rear fill solenoid valve, before installing the new compressor assembly.
3. Replace the air suspension compressor assembly. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05
for compressor installation instructions.
4. Replace the front fill solenoid. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05 for replacement
instructions. The front fill solenoid must be replaced because in these cases, it may have sustained
damage from the drier desiccant or other contaminants.
5. Connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester to the vehicle while the vehicle is parked in the
service bay with the engine running.

Bulletins for Compressor/Pump: > 03-9-2 > May > 03 > Air Suspension - Repeat Compressor Drier Failures > Page 8791
6. Install a pressure gauge capable of reading 400 PSI at the front air line (Figure 1). Using the
scan tool, command the compressor ON. Check the output of the compressor on the gauge:
a. If the compressor does not output at least 110 PSI within 30 seconds, replace the compressor
again and retest.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT THE SUSPENSION RAISES PROPERLY.
7. Using the scan tool, command the front of the vehicle to raise up one inch. The front suspension
should rise one inch in 25 seconds or less.
a. If the compressor output is near 300 PSI, check4or air line or solenoid restrictions, repair as
necessary and retest. Otherwise, proceed to Step 7b.
NOTE
SUSPENSION UPWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF THE
FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD DECREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
b. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT raise, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves or pinched air
lines. If an issue is found, repair as required and repeat Step 7 to verify proper operation.
c. If no problem found, continue to Step 8.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT SUSPENSION PROPERLY.
8. If the front of the vehicle DOES raise, use the scan tool to command the front of the vehicle to
lower one inch. The front suspension should lower one inch in 20 seconds or less.
NOTE
SUSPENSION DOWNWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF
THE FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD INCREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
a. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT lower, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or pinched air lines. Repair air
lines or replace solenoid valves as required.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the rear. Command the rear of the vehicle, and monitor the rear height
sensor PID. Voltages should increase when the vehicle is lowered, and decrease when the vehicle
is raised. If the rear of the vehicle does not raise and lower as commanded, inspect the rear
pneumatic system for leaks, inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or
pinched air lines, and repair as necessary.

Article 03-7-9 is being republished in its entirety to update the Service Procedure.
ISSUE Some 1997-2002 Expedition 4X4 and 1998-2002 Navigator 4X4 vehicles equipped with
4-wheel air suspension, may exhibit repeat air compressor drier failures. The drier cap may
become detached from the drier body, or the drier body may be broken at the neck near the
compressor head. This may be due to incomplete or incorrect system diagnosis that leads to
replacement of only the original air suspension compressor, despite the fact that the compressor is
not the root cause of the concern. Compressor failure in these instances is only a symptom of an
underlying system problem.
ACTION Refer to the service information contained in this TSB for information on proper diagnosis
of system issues. Be sure to check the system for proper pneumatic function as described during
service to ensure a robust repair.
SERVICE INFORMATION
Overview
Proper pneumatic function can be tested by verifying that both the front AND the rear of the vehicle
can be raised and lowered one inch using a scan tool, and by monitoring the height sensor PIDs for
movement while the vehicle is in the service bay. If the vehicle does not raise and lower normally,
check the solenoid valves and air lines for blockages and/or restrictions. Replace any blocked or
restricted solenoids and air lines. ALWAYS check for proper pneumatic function before returning
the vehicle back to the customer.
NOTE
DISCONNECTING AN AIR LINE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS AS HIGH PRESSURE IS
VENTED UNCONTROLLED.
If diagnostics lead to compressor/dryer assembly replacement, use the following service procedure
to insure complete and thorough service.
1. Using the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester, vent the compressor/drier assembly.
2. Using regulated shop air, blow out the air lines from the drier to the front fill solenoid valve and
from the drier to the rear fill solenoid valve, before installing the new compressor assembly.
3. Replace the air suspension compressor assembly. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05
for compressor installation instructions.
4. Replace the front fill solenoid. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 204-05 for replacement
instructions. The front fill solenoid must be replaced because in these cases, it may have sustained
damage from the drier desiccant or other contaminants.
5. Connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) tester to the vehicle while the vehicle is parked in the
service bay with the engine running.

Bulletins for Compressor/Pump: > 03-9-2 > May > 03 > Air Suspension - Repeat Compressor Drier Failures > Page 8805
6. Install a pressure gauge capable of reading 400 PSI at the front air line (Figure 1). Using the
scan tool, command the compressor ON. Check the output of the compressor on the gauge:
a. If the compressor does not output at least 110 PSI within 30 seconds, replace the compressor
again and retest.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT THE SUSPENSION RAISES PROPERLY.
7. Using the scan tool, command the front of the vehicle to raise up one inch. The front suspension
should rise one inch in 25 seconds or less.
a. If the compressor output is near 300 PSI, check4or air line or solenoid restrictions, repair as
necessary and retest. Otherwise, proceed to Step 7b.
NOTE
SUSPENSION UPWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF THE
FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD DECREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
b. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT raise, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves or pinched air
lines. If an issue is found, repair as required and repeat Step 7 to verify proper operation.
c. If no problem found, continue to Step 8.
NOTE
VERIFY THAT SUSPENSION PROPERLY.
8. If the front of the vehicle DOES raise, use the scan tool to command the front of the vehicle to
lower one inch. The front suspension should lower one inch in 20 seconds or less.
NOTE
SUSPENSION DOWNWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE VERIFIED BY MONITORING EITHER OF
THE FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR PIDS, WHICH SHOULD INCREASE BY .35 TO .45 VOLTS.
a. If the front of the vehicle DOES NOT lower, check the front pneumatic system for leaks,
inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or pinched air lines. Repair air
lines or replace solenoid valves as required.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the rear. Command the rear of the vehicle, and monitor the rear height
sensor PID. Voltages should increase when the vehicle is lowered, and decrease when the vehicle
is raised. If the rear of the vehicle does not raise and lower as commanded, inspect the rear
pneumatic system for leaks, inoperable or blocked solenoid valves, an inoperable vent solenoid, or
pinched air lines, and repair as necessary.

Front Fill Solenoid
The front fill solenoid connects the output of the compressor assembly to the two front air shocks.
When energized along with the front gate solenoid, air pressure to the front axle can be modified,
affecting its height relative to the body.
Front Gate Solenoid
The front gate solenoid provides pneumatic isolation of the left and right sides of the vehicle. The
separation is necessary to eliminate the transfer of air from left to right front air shocks during roll
conditions. When the solenoids are off (closed) the left and right air shocks are separated, allowing
a pressure differential to be generated. In a turn, the increased pressure in the two outermost air
shocks raises the two outer wheel spring rates, decreasing vehicle roll.
Conversely, opening (energizing) the gate solenoid on smooth driving surfaces connects the left
and right air shocks. This forces left and right side air pressures to be the same. Also, allowing the
transfer of air reduces the resistance to vertical wheel movement, resulting in a softer ride.
Rear Fill Solenoid
The rear fill solenoid connects the output of the compressor assembly to the two rear air shocks.
When energized along with the two integrated rear solenoids, air pressure to the rear axle can be
modified, affecting its height relative to the body.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
Two height sensors are mounted on the vehicle. The sensors send a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensors have a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8-10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensors are mounted to the suspension at a point where
full suspension travel at the wheel is relative to 80 mm (3 in) of travel at the height sensor. The
front height sensor upper socket is attached to the bracket to the frame at the upper control arm
mounting area and the lower height sensor socket is attached to the upper control arm bracket.
The rear height sensor is attached between the No. 5 frame crossmember (upper socket) and the
panhard rod (lower socket). Replace a sensor as a unit.
When the height sensor gets shorter the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air compressor
to turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the sensor gets longer the vehicle is
being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim
height level.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation Rear Air Suspension
When the height sensor gets shorter the rear of the vehicle is lowered and this will cause the air
compressor to turn on and pump compressed air to the air springs. When the sensor gets longer
the rear of the vehicle is being raised and this will cause the air to be vented from the air springs to
lower the vehicle back to its trim height level.
One height sensor is mounted on the vehicle. The sensor sends a voltage signal to the control
module. The output ranges from approximately 4.75 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is
low or in full jounce), to 0.25 volts at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensor has a useable range of 80 mm (3 in) compared to total suspension travel of 200-250
mm (8 to 10 in) at the wheel. Therefore, the sensor is mounted to the suspension at a point where
full rear suspension travel at the wheel is relative to 80 mm of travel at the height sensor. The rear
height sensor is attached between the No. 5 frame crossmember (upper socket) and the panhard
rod (lower socket). Replace the sensor as a unit.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation Four Wheel Air Suspension
A microcontroller-based electronic module controls the air compressor motor (through a solid state
relay), and all system solenoids. The module also provides power to front and rear height sensors.
The module controls vehicle height adjustments by monitoring the two height sensors, vehicle
speed, a steering sensor, acceleration input, the door ajar signal, transfer case signals, and the
brake switch. The module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and contains self-test
and communication software for testing of the vehicle and related components.
The control module is mounted in the passenger compartment inside the instrument panel, above
the radio and temperature controls.
The air suspension system control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin
two-way connector. The control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an incorrect
harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the module. Each is uniquely colored
and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

Suspension Mode Switch: Description and Operation
The air suspension switch is located behind the RH kick panel on a mounting bracket. The switch
interrupts power to the control module.
The air suspension switch supplies a signal to the control module. Without the control module
receiving this signal the load leveling system is inoperative and will not react when rear of the
vehicle is raised or lowered.
If the air suspension is disabled by turning off air suspension switch, a "CHECK SUSP" will appear
in the RH corner of the cluster with the ignition in the run position.

NOTE: For information on the front air shock absorbers.
The shock absorbers:
^ Are sealed hydraulic and telescopic in design.
^ Are direct double-acting type.
^ Are replaced as a complete assembly.
^ Provide continuous ride dampening.
^ Are mounted between the frame and rear axle housing (rear shock absorbers).
^ Are mounted between the front suspension lower arm and the upper shock absorber mount (front
shock absorbers).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
CAUTION : The low pressure gas shock absorbers are charged with nitrogen gas to 931 kPa (135
psi) for 1-3/16 inch bore, and 1034 kPa (150 psi) for 1-3/8 inch bore. Do not attempt to open,
puncture, or apply heat to the shock absorbers.
All vehicles are equipped with low pressure gas-filled hydraulic shock absorbers of the direct acting
type. They are non-adjustable and non-refillable. They cannot be serviced as cartridges and must
be serviced as shock assemblies.
Before replacing a shock absorber, check the action of the shock absorbers as follows.
1. Check all tires for proper inflation pressure. 2. Check tire condition to confirm proper front end
alignment, tire balance and overall tire condition such as separation or bulges. 3. Check the vehicle
for optional suspension equipment such as heavy-duty handling or trailer tow suspensions. These
suspensions will have a firmer
feeling ride than standard suspensions.
4. Check the vehicle attitude for evidence of possible overload or sagging.
Many times, front springs and front shock absorbers are replaced in an effort to solve a vehicle sag
concern. Shock absorbers are, by design, hydraulic damping units only and unlike suspension
springs, do not support any suspension loads. Therefore, replacing a shock absorber will not
correct a vehicle sag concern.
5. Road test the vehicle to confirm the customer concern. 6. Make sure the shock absorber is
securely and properly installed. 7. Check the shock absorber insulators for damage and wear.
Replace any worn or damaged insulators and tighten attachments to the specified torque (on a
shock absorber which incorporates internal insulators, replace the shock absorbers).
10. Inspect the shock absorber for evidence of fluid leakage. Leakage is a condition in which the
entire shock body is covered with oil, and the oil will
drip from the shock onto the pavement.
A light film of oil (weepage) on the upper portion of the front shock absorber is permissible and is a
result of proper shock lubrication. Weepage is a condition in which a thin film of oil may be
deposited on the shock outer tube (body) and is normally noticed due to the collection of dust in
this area. Front shock absorbers which exhibit this weepage condition are functional units and
should not be replaced.
11. If leakage exists:
^ Make sure the fluid observed is not from sources other than the front shock absorber.
^ Replace the worn or damaged front shock absorber.
12. Disconnect the lower end of the shock absorber. 13. Extend and compress the shock absorber
as fast as possible, using as much travel as possible. Action should become smooth and uniform
throughout each stroke. Higher resistance on extension than on compression is a normal condition.
Faint swish noises are also normal.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 8916
Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Bench Test
The front shock absorbers are gas-pressurized, which results in their being fully extended when not
restrained. If a front shock absorber does not fully extend, it is damaged and should be replaced.
With the front shock absorber in the normal upright position, compress it and allow it to extend
three times to purge the pressure chamber of any gas that may have been introduced during
handling.
Place the front shock absorber right side up in a vise. Hand-stroke the front shock absorber as fast
as possible using as much travel as possible. Action should be smooth and uniform throughout
each stroke. Higher resistance on extension than on compression is normal.
The following conditions are abnormal:
^ A lag or skip at a reversal of travel near mid-stroke when the front shock absorber is properly
primed and in the installed position.
^ Seizing.
^ Noise, other than a faint swish, such as a clicking upon fast stroke reversal.
^ Excessive fluid leakage.
^ With rod fully extended, any lateral motion of rod in relation to outer cylinder.
^ If front shock absorber action remains erratic after purging air, install a front shock absorber,
replacing only the damaged front shock absorber. Front shock absorbers do not need to be
replaced in pairs.
Hoist Check
WARNING: THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT
OFF PRIOR TO HOISTING, JACKING OR TOWING AN AIR SUSPENSION VEHICLE. THIS CAN
BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TURNING OFF THE AIR SUSPENSION SWITCH LOCATED IN THE RH
KICK PANEL AREA. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED INFLATION OR
DEFLATION OF THE AIR SPRINGS WHICH MAY RESULT IN SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE
DURING THESE OPERATIONS.
1. Noise: Check for loose/damaged suspension or shock attachments when locating a noise
symptom. Verify that all the attachments or the
suspension components and the front springs and front shock absorbers are in good condition and
tight. Replace any worn or damaged parts or components.
2. Bottom/Hopping: Check the condition of the rubber suspension travel stops (front suspension
bumpers). Examine them for evidence of previous
overload or damaged components; replace them if they are worn or missing.
3. Force-Check: Support the front axle and remove the lower front shock attachment. Stroke the
front shock body using as much travel as possible.
The action should be smooth and uniform throughout each stroke. Damping forces should be
equivalent on both sides of the vehicle.
4. Replace only the worn or damaged front shock absorber.
In the past, it was recommended that front shock absorbers be replaced in pairs if one unit became
unserviceable. Improved sealing, new materials, design, and improved rod machining and
hardening techniques have added to the reliability of shock absorbers. Therefore, front shock
absorbers no longer need to be replaced in pairs when only one unit is not serviceable.

Attachment IV - Revised Technical Instructions
Announcing revised Technical Instructions for Safety Recall 96560 (Expedition Rear Axle Lower
Control Arm/Track Bar Bracket).
The following revisions are necessary because a survey of axles inspected by dealers has
revealed that most of these axles did not actually need to be replaced.
SUPPLEMENTAL TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Determine the vehicle build date prior to axle inspection.
2. If vehicle build date is August 10, 1996 or later, no axle inspection and/or replacement is
required. However, track bar repairs may still be required for the vehicle. Please begin directly at
Step # 4 of the original Technical Instructions if build date is August 10, 1996 or later.
3. If vehicle build date is August 9, 1996 or earlier, please proceed with axle inspection as detailed
in the original Technical Instructions EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:
a. Remove the axle identification tape (if present) from the right hand axle tube assembly to reveal
the date code stamp.
b. If you cannot find date code on both axle tube assemblies, call Ford Axle Hot Line at 1
-800-FORD-AXL (1-800-3673-295) before ordering replacement axle assembly to confirm
replacement requirements. Please have vehicle VIN and build date available.
c. Upon completion of Axle inspection/replacement, proceed to Step # 4 of the original Technical
Instructions for Track Bar repair.
4. When attaching the track bar bracket reinforcement kit (Part Number F75Z-5L005-AA), torque
the bolts to 68 Nm (50 lb. ft.), NOT 81.4 Nm (60 lb. ft.).
5. Also, when installing the track bar bracket reinforcement kit, the plates should fit flush to the
track bar bracket. As required, excess weld material may need to be ground flush to the bracket. If
this is required, submit additional time as "Related Damage".

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8996
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9002
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9003
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9004
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9006
Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9010
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9011
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9012
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9013
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9014
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9084
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

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.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9116
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9122
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9123
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))

Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9124
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9130
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9131
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9132
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9133
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9134
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

Pinpoint Tests
The pinpoint tests are a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to determine the cause of a
condition. It may not always be necessary to follow a pinpoint test to its conclusion. Carry out only
the steps necessary to correct the condition. Then, test the system for normal operation.
Sometimes, it is necessary to remove various vehicle components to gain access to the component
requiring testing. For additional information, REFER to the appropriate Workshop Manual section
for removal and installation procedures. Reinstall all components after verifying system operation is
normal.

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 9204
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

Runout
TEST DESCRIPTION
Excessive radial and lateral runout of a wheel and tire assembly can cause roughness, vibration,
wheel tramp, tire wear, and steering wheel tremor.
Before checking runout and to avoid false readings caused by temporary flat spots in the tires,
check runout only after the vehicle has been driven far enough to warm tires.
The extent of the runout is measured with Radial Runout Gauge. All measurements are made on
the vehicle with the tires inflated to recommended inflation pressures and with the front wheel
bearings adjusted to specifications.
TIRE RUNOUT
Use Radial Runout Gauge to measure (A) radial runout of the tire at the center and outside ribs of
the tread face. Mark the high points of radial runout for future reference. Radial runout should not
exceed specifications.
WHEEL RUNOUT
Measure (B) radial and (C) lateral wheel runout at the positions shown in the illustration. Runout
should not exceed specifications.
Wheel Centering 0-Ring Seal
The front hub and rear axle wheel pilots are fitted with rubber O-rings which help center the wheels.
Remove the O-ring and clean the machined groove and clean and lubricate the O-ring if required.
Replace the O-ring if damaged. O-rings should be pulled on (not pushed) so that the yellow paint
identification stripe is visible after installation.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or
trembling, that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down.
Harshness is a ride quality issue where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the
customer. Harshness normally describes a firmer than usual response from the suspension
system. Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is a term used to describe these conditions, which
customers sense and result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although, a certain level of NVH
caused by road and environmental conditions is normal. This section is designed to aid in the
diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH concerns.
Acceptable Noise, Vibration and Harshness
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a
real world environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and
dampers reduce these to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that
some sounds are abnormal when actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. For example,
Traction-Lok(R) differentials produce a slight noise on slow turns after extended highway driving.
This is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function. As a technician, it is
very important to be familiar with vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH concerns and
their diagnosis. If, for example, the vehicle has automatic overdrive it is important to test drive the
vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Diagnostic Theory
The shortest route to an accurate diagnosis results from:
^ system knowledge, including comparison with a known good system.
^ system history, including repair history and usage patterns.
^ condition history, especially any relationship to repairs or sudden change.
^ knowledge of probable causes
^ using a systematic diagnostic method that divides the system into related areas.
The diagnosis and correction of noise, vibration and harshness concerns requires:
^ a road or system test to determine the exact nature of the concern.
^ an analysis of the possible causes.
^ testing to verify the cause.
^ repairing any concerns found.
^ a road test or system test to make sure the concern has been corrected or brought back to within
a acceptable range.
Diagnostic Process
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal
system. The following flowcharts are a graphic representation of the diagnostic process. Use the
flowcharts as follows:
^ Choose the appropriate flowchart.
^ Identify the operating condition that the vehicle is exhibiting.

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.
Glossary of Terms
Acceleration-Light An increase in speed at less than half throttle.
Acceleration-Medium An increase in speed at half to nearly full throttle, such as 0-97 km/h (0-60
mph) in approximately 30 seconds.

Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe
balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a
driveshaft or engine accessories.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9230
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9231
g. Compare the readings.
- A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
- An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter, or
engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
- Example: A vibration is felt in the seat, place the sensor on the console. Record the readings.
Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the frequencies are the same,
the axle is the problem component. Also refer to the following chart as a reference to acceptable
vibration and noise ranges for the specified components.
Vibrate Software(R)
Vibrate software(R) (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in
pinpointing the source of unacceptable vibrations. The
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9232
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
Gaps or a faint imprint will show where there is poor contact with the weatherstrip.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Place a dollar bill or 3x5 card between the weatherstrip and the sealing surface, then close the
door. Slowly withdraw the bill or 3x5 card after the door is closed and check the amount of pressure
on the weatherstrip. There should be a medium amount of resistance as the dollar bill or 3x5 card
is withdrawn. Continue around the entire seal area. If there is little or no resistance, this indicates
insufficient contact to form a good seal. At these points, the door, the glass, or the weatherstrip is
out of alignment.

To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-up Job Aid and an NVH Diagnostic Guide
are included with this material. The Write-up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important
symptom information. The NVH Diagnostic Guide serves as a place to record information reported
on the Write-up Job Aid as well as data from the testing to be carried out.
To begin a successful diagnosis, fill out the NVH Diagnostic Guide, record the reported findings,
then proceed to each of the numbered process steps to complete the diagnosis.
1. Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as
much information as possible about the problem and take a test drive with the customer. There are
many ways a customer will describe NVH concerns and this will help minimize confusion arising
from descriptive language differences. It is important that the concern is correctly interpreted and
the customer descriptions are recorded. During the interview, ask the following questions:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9238
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9240
Steering Input Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
^ If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the
axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Brake Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications. At highway speeds of 89-97 km/h (50-60 mph), apply the brake using a light
pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can
be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is release.
Road Test Over Bumps
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Engine Run-up (NERU) Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ In stall a tachometer.
^ Increase the engine rpm up from an idle to approximately 4000 rpm while in PARK on front wheel
drive vehicles with automatic transmissions, or NEUTRAL for all other vehicles. Note the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify what part of the vehicle the concern is coming from.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Drive Engine Run-up (DERU) Load Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
^ CAUTION:
Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than five seconds or damage to the transmission or
transaxle can result.
Block the front and rear wheels.
^ Apply the parking brake and the service brake.
^ Install a tachometer.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9241
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9242
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.
Once the concern is narrowed down to a symptom/condition. proceed to NVH Condition and
Symptom Categories.
Operating Condition - Vehicle Is Not Moving
1. Static operation

Idle Speed Air Control Valve (ISACV)
1. Open the hood.
2. Note:
Key symptom is elevated idle speed while noise is occurring.
Note:
"Snapping" the throttle can induce the noise.
Verify the condition by operating the vehicle for a short time.
3. Inspect the ISACV. If physical evidence of contamination exists, install a new ISACV.
4. While the noise is occurring, either place an EngineEAR probe near the ISACV and the inlet
tube, or create a 6.35 mm (0.25 in)-12.7 mm (0.50 in) air gap between the inlet tube and the clean
air tube. If the ISACV is making the noise, install a new ISACV.
5. Test the vehicle for normal operation.
Steering Gear Grunt/Shudder Test
1. Start and run the vehicle to operating temperature.
2. Set engine idle speed to 1200 rpm.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds at a time.
Damage to the power steering pump will occur.

Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 9312
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

^ The pinion gear depth is correct. Decrease the differential ring gear backlash.
Tire Wear Patterns & Frequency Calculations
Wheel and tire NVH concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected
by acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more
than one speed. A vibration that is affected by the engine rpm or is eliminated by placing the
transmission in NEUTRAL is not related to the tire and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel
vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel assemblies. Vibrations felt
in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can~be
caused by damaged or worn tire and wheels. Carry out a careful visual inspection of the tires and
wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the
tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions.
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm.
Calculate tire and wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out and following:
^ Measure the diameter of the tire.
^ Record the speed at which the vibration occurs. Obtain the corresponding tire and wheel rpm and
frequency from the Tire Speed and Frequency Chart.
- If the vehicle speed is not listed, divide the vehicle speed at which the vibration occurs by 16
(km/h (10 mph). Multiply that number by 16 km/h (10 mph) tire rpm listed for that tire diameter in
the chart. Then divide that number by 60. For example: a 40 mph vibration with 835 mm (33 in)
tires. 40 divided by 10 = 4. Multiply 4 by 105 = 420 rpm. Divide 420 rpm by 60 seconds = 7 Hz at
40mph.

WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the powertrain/drivetrain mount fasteners.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. CAUTION:
Do not twist or strain the powertrain/drivetrain mounts.

WARNING:
Exhaust system components are hot.
Note:
Neutralize the exhaust system to relieve strain on mounts which can be sufficiently bound up to
transmit vibration as if grounded.
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can
result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations.

CAUTION:
Make sure the system is warmed up to normal operating temperature, as thermal expansion can he
the cause of a strain problem.
Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Loosen all exhaust hanger attachments and reposition the hangers until they hang free and
straight.
3. Loosen all exhaust flange joints.
4. Place a stand to support the muffler parallel to the vehicle frame with the muffler pipe bracket
free of stress.
5. Tighten the muffler connection.
6. Tighten all the exhaust hanger clamps and flanges (tighten the exhaust manifold flange joint
last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.

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

ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Replacement of the suction accumulator/drier is necessary if there is moisture in the
system, the system is open for an extended amount of time or any time a major component is
replaced. Major components include:
^ A/C compressor.
^ A/C condenser core.
^ The A/C evaporator core.
^ Refrigerant hose/line.
An A/C evaporator core orifice or an O-ring seal are not considered major components.
The suction accumulator/drier is mounted on the A/C accumulator bracket to the RH side of the
instrument panel in the engine compartment. The inlet tube of the suction accumulator/drier is
attached to the A/C evaporator core outlet tube. The outlet tube of the suction accumulator/drier
attaches to the A/C manifold and tube. A desiccant bag located inside the suction accumulator/drier
absorbs any moisture in the refrigerant system.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator/drier, heavier oil-laden and liquid refrigerant
contacts an internally mounted dome 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 refrigerant
and oil mixture to re-enter the compressor suction line at a controlled rate. A fine-meshed screened
filter fits tightly around the bottom of the vapor return tube to filter out refrigerant system
contaminant particles.

REMOVAL
CAUTION: Replacement of the suction accumulator/drier is necessary any time a major component
of the refrigerant system is replaced. Failure to replace the suction accumulator/drier will expose
the refrigerant system to excessive moisture accumulation. The suction accumulator/drier should
also be replaced if the suction accumulator/drier is perforated, if the refrigerant system has been
opened to the atmosphere for other than a minor repair or there is evidence of moisture in the
system (internal corrosion of metal refrigerant lines or refrigerant oil is thick and dark).
NOTE: Compressor oil from vehicles equipped with an FS-10 A/C compressor may have a darker
color while maintaining a normal oil viscosity.

^ NOISE - "WHINING" IN AM RADIO BAND - VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH 5/30/97
LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION, F-150, F-250 LD
ISSUE:
There may be a "whining" noise heard through the radio while in AM band below 1100 kHz with the
A/C temperature control at Full Cool or Full Heat. On vehicles with rear A/C units, the rear
temperature or mode controls may be at any position. In some situations the noise may change
when vehicle loads are switched on and off. This may be caused by electromagnetic interference
from the blend door actuator.
ACTION:
Verify condition and replace the front and rear (if equipped) blend door actuators. Changing the
position of the temperature or rear mode control will eliminate the noise and verify the condition
exists. The new actuators have been revised to reduce potential electromagnetic interference
which should reduce the possibility of whine heard through the radio. Refer to the 1997 F-Series or
Expedition Workshop Manual for removal and installation procedures.
NOTE:
FOR EXPEDITION ONLY: THE EVAPORATOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REMOVED TO GAIN
ACCESS TO THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR. FOLLOW PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THE 1997

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

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

RELAY COMPONENT TEST
Testing of an ISO relay can be accomplished through the use of three No. 10 (or larger gauge)
jumper wires and a 73 Digital Multimeter. Remove (unplug) the relay to be tested from the engine
compartment fuse junction panel, I/P fuse junction panel or individual connector.
Mini ISO Relay Use 73 Digital Multimeter to check for the continuity between terminal 85 and all
other terminals. If resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 85 and any other terminal, replace
the relay. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to
connect relay terminals 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. With the multimeter set in
the volts position, check for voltage at terminal 87A. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the
relay. If battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal 85 and ground the
jumper wire to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 87. If battery voltage is not
indicated, replace the relay.

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation
A magnetic clutch is used to drive the compressor shaft. When voltage is applied to the clutch field
coil, the clutch plate and hub assembly (which is solidly coupled to the compressor shaft) is drawn
rearward by magnetic force toward the A/C clutch pulley which rotates freely on the compressor
front head casting. The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and hub assembly and the pulley
together as one unit. The compressor shaft then turns with the pulley. When voltage is removed
from the clutch field coil, springs in the clutch plate and hub assembly move the clutch plate away
from the pulley. The clutch plate and hub assembly and the compressor shaft cease to rotate.

Control System Outputs
Air Management Doors
The air management doors are controlled by vacuum control motors and an A/C electronic door
actuator motor. The air inlet and distribution doors are controlled by a vacuum control motor. The
temperature blend door is controlled by the A/C electronic door actuator motor.
The A/C electronic door actuator motor provides a variable number of temperature blend door
positions. The temperature control position energizes the A/C electronic door actuator motor
moving the temperature blend door.
Vacuum control motors are used on both air distribution and air inlet doors. The air inlet and
panel/defrost doors use a two position vacuum control motor. The floor duct/panel door uses a
three position vacuum control motor. Vacuum control motors are controlled by engine vacuum
through the climate control head.
Blower Motor Circuit
The blower motor circuit consists of a blower motor switch, a heater blower motor switch resistor
with a thermal limiter, and the blower motor.
Blower motor speed is determined by changing the current flow to the blower motor using resistors.
The blower motor switch has four speeds that are obtained using three resistors that are wired in
series. The heater blower motor switch resistor is wired into the blower motor ground circuit.
^ High Speed Current through the blower motor bypasses all resistors and travels directly to
ground.
^ Medium High Speed - Current travels through one resistor and then to ground reducing current
flow and blower motor speed.
^ Medium Low Speed - Current travels through two resistors reducing current flow and blower
motor speed.
^ Low Speed - Current flow travels through all three resistors adding the highest resistance,
causing the blower motor to run at its slowest speed.
The thermal limiter is integral to the heater blower motor switch resistor and serves as a
temperature protection device. The thermal limiter is wired in series with the heater blower motor
switch resistor and opens when the resistor reaches approximately 121°C (250°F). When the
thermal limiter opens, the blower motor will only operate on high speed. The thermal limiter does
not reset; once opened, the heater blower motor switch resistor must be replaced.
Manual Climate Control System
The manual climate control system heats and/or cools the vehicle interior depending on the
function selector position and the temperature selected. Function selector position determines
heating or cooling and air distribution. The temperature blend control setting determines air
temperature.
The manual climate control components are used to:
^ Select air inlet source (fresh/recirculated).
^ Select blower motor speed.
^ Select discharge air temperature (temperature blend).
^ Select discharge air location (defrost, panel, floor).
^ Select compressor clutch operation.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update the text.
ISSUE: Ford Motor Company now produces new vehicles with R-134a fluorescent tracer dye
incorporated into the A/C system and spring lock couplings which contain three (3) O-rings.
ACTION: Leak checking can be performed with the use of a Rotunda UV Lamp (112-R0021) and is
an acceptable alternative to using an electronic leak detector.
Ford Motor Company has begun implementation of spring lock couplings with three (3) O-rings
which provide an improved seal. Field and laboratory tests have shown a 40% improvement in
sealing capability and durable life.
Through field and fleet testing and analysis, it is apparent that lubricating oil used in vehicle
assembly processes is easily misdiagnosed as a refrigerant leak. The presence of oil at
connections is not necessarily an indication of a leaking connection. If oil at a fitting is due to a
leak, fluorescent tracer dye will be present at the location. Any oil escaping from the A/C hoses will
contain dye.
When checking for leaks, be sure to scan all components, fittings and lines of the A/C system with
the UV lamp. The exact location of the leak or leaks can be pinpointed by the bright yellow-green
glow of the tracer dye. Since more than one leak may exist in the system, always inspect each
component.
The best leak detection results will be achieved in conditions of low ambient light. In areas that
cannot be reached by the UV lamp: (1) use a technician's mirror or (2) use a non-fluorescent shop
towel, wipe the suspected area, and then check the towel with the UV lamp for traces of the dye.
After the leak is repaired, the traces of dye can be removed from the previously leaking areas by
using any general purpose oil solvent.
Verify the repair by operating the A/C system for a short while and reinspecting the system with the
UV lamp.
NOTE:
BEGINNING WITH VEHICLES PRODUCED IN MAY 1996, THE TRACER DYE'S FLUORESCENT
LIFESPAN IS THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLES PRODUCED BEFORE MAY 1996
CONTAIN A TRACER DYE WITH A LIFESPAN OF ROUGHLY 500 HOURS OF NC SYSTEM
USE, AFTER WHICH TIME ANOTHER INFUSION OF DYE WOULD BE REQUIRED. REFER TO
TSB 94-26-6 AND 95-21-4 IF ADDITIONAL TRACER DYE OR INFORMATION IS REQUIRED.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation With Manual A/C
A/C Evaporator Core
NOTE: Whenever an A/C evaporator core is replaced, it is also necessary to replace the suction
accumulator/drier.
The A/C evaporator core is a multi-pass plate/fin aluminum core. The condenser to evaporator tube
inlet connects to the bottom of the A/C evaporator core. The suction accumulator/drier outlet
connects to the top of the A/C evaporator core.
The A/C cycling switch senses pressure within the suction accumulator/drier and controls A/C
compressor operation to regulate the pressure and temperature within the A/C evaporator core.

Special Tools
ON-VEHICLE LEAK TEST
1. Recover the A/C system. See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant Recovery 2. Disconnect the liquid
line and suction accumulator/drier from the evaporator core tubes. Do not leak test an A/C
evaporator core with the suction
accumulator/drier attached to the A/C evaporator core. If the evaporator core tube fittings are the
female spring lock design, check the inside of each fitting if possible for scratches and/or corrosion.
If scratches or corrosion are found, the leak test results may not be accurate if a leak is indicated
because of possible leaks at the fitting(s).
3. Connect the appropriate test fittings from the A/C Test Fitting Set to the evaporator tube
connections. Then, connect the gauge set RED and BLUE
hoses to the test fittings. Connect the YELLOW gauge set hose to a vacuum pump.
NOTE: The automatic shut-off valves on some gauge set hoses do not open when connected to
the test fittings. Use hoses without shut-off valves if available. If hoses with shut-off valves are
used, check to be sure the valve opens when attached to the test fittings before installing the
fittings and proceeding with the leak test. The test is not valid if the shut-off valve does not open
because only the hose will be tested.
4. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump. Turn the heater blower motor on speed
1 and allow the vacuum pump to operate for a
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Page 9623
minimum of 30 minutes after the gauge set low pressure gauge indicates 30 in-Hg. This 30 minutes
evacuation is necessary to remove any refrigerant from oil left in the A/C evaporator core. If the
refrigerant is not completely removed from the oil, gassing will occur and degrade the vacuum and
appear as a refrigerant leak. After evacuating for 30 minutes, close the gauge set valves and stop
the vacuum pump. Observe the low pressure gauge; it should remain at the 30 in-Hg mark.
NOTE: A vacuum pump, like an automobile, requires maintenance for optimum performance. The
condition of the vacuum pump oil is critical to pump performance and durability. Dirty and/or
moisture-laden oil reduces the vacuum pump's ability to draw high vacuum levels that are required
to extract refrigerant from the oil in the A/C evaporator core. As a general rule, vacuum pump
manufacturers recommend replacing the oil in the vacuum pump after every 10 hours of operation.
Some manufacturers may recommend even more frequent oil change intervals.
5. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 30 in-Hg when the gauge set valves arc open
and the vacuum pump is operating. close the gauge
set valves and observe the low pressure gauge. If the pressure rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is
indicated. Recheck the test fitting connections and gauge set connections before replacing the A/C
evaporator.
6. If the low pressure gauge reading rises 10 or more inches of vacuum from the 30 in-Hg mark in
ten minutes, a leak is indicated. If a very small
leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge. If a small amount of vacuum is
lost, operate the vacuum pump with the gauge valves open for an additional 30 minutes with the
heater blower motor on speed 1 to remove any remaining refrigerant from the A/C evaporator core.
Then, recheck for loss of vacuum. If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit
overnight with vacuum applied and check for vacuum loss the next day. Always remember that a
leaking fitting, gauge set, or hose connection will appear as a leaking A/C evaporator core.
7. If a vehicle passes the vacuum leak test and is returned within 60 days for loss of cooling due to
no refrigerant charge, look elsewhere in the
system for refrigerant leaks, such as the compressor shaft seal or refrigerant line connections.

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.

WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DANGEROUS. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE VEHICLE IN A CLOSED AREA SUCH AS
A GARAGE, ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES
OUTSIDE THE CLOSED AREA.
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and should not have been replaced. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core should be
tested as per Plugged Heater Core procedures before pressure testing the heater core. Perform a
system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:
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.
2. Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps. 3. Spring-type clamps are installed as
original equipment. Use of non-specification clamps can cause leakage at the heater water hose
connection

and damage the heater core.
PLUGGED HEATER CORE
WARNING: THE HEATER CORE INLET HOSE WILL BECOME TOO HOT TO HANDLE IF THE
SYSTEM IS WORKING CORRECTLY.
Check to see that the engine coolant is at the proper level. Start the engine and turn on the heater.
When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core outlet hose to see if it
is hot. If it is not hot, the heater core may have an air pocket or may be plugged, or the thermostat
is not working properly.
Pressure Test Use Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to perform 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 and adapter from
Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester in the heater
water hose ends. Secure the heater water hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps tightened to
specification.
5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to the
adapter. 6. Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge and 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, test the heater
core as follows: 1. Drain all coolant from the heater core. 2. Remove the heater core from the A/C
evaporator housing. 3. Connect the 101 mm (4 inches) test heater water hoses with plug and
adapter to the core tubes. Then connect Radiator/Heater Core
Pressure Tester to the adapter.
4. Apply 241 kPa (35 psi) of air pressure to the heater core. Submerge the heater core in water. 5.
If a leak is observed, service or replace the heater 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
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Heater Hose > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 9713
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

Description and Operation
High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: Description and Operation
An A/C compressor pressure relief valve is incorporated in the compressor's A/C manifold and tube
to relieve unusually high refrigerant system discharge pressure buildups (3241 kPa [470 psi] and
above). This prevents damage to the A/C compressor and other system components and avoids
total refrigerant loss by closing after the excessive pressure has been relieved.

Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation
NOTE: Replacement of the suction accumulator/drier is necessary if there is moisture in the
system, the system is open for an extended amount of time or any time a major component is
replaced. Major components include:
^ A/C compressor.
^ A/C condenser core.
^ The A/C evaporator core.
^ Refrigerant hose/line.
An A/C evaporator core orifice or an O-ring seal are not considered major components.
The suction accumulator/drier is mounted on the A/C accumulator bracket to the RH side of the
instrument panel in the engine compartment. The inlet tube of the suction accumulator/drier is
attached to the A/C evaporator core outlet tube. The outlet tube of the suction accumulator/drier
attaches to the A/C manifold and tube. A desiccant bag located inside the suction accumulator/drier
absorbs any moisture in the refrigerant system.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator/drier, heavier oil-laden and liquid refrigerant
contacts an internally mounted dome 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 refrigerant
and oil mixture to re-enter the compressor suction line at a controlled rate. A fine-meshed screened
filter fits tightly around the bottom of the vapor return tube to filter out refrigerant system
contaminant particles.

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

Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 9813
Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 9814
when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

ISSUE: Ford Motor Company now produces new vehicles with R-134a fluorescent tracer dye
incorporated into the A/C system and spring lock couplings which contain three (3) O-rings.
ACTION: Leak checking can be performed with the use of a Rotunda UV Lamp (112-R0021) and is
an acceptable alternative to using an electronic leak detector.
Ford Motor Company has begun implementation of spring lock couplings with three (3) O-rings
which provide an improved seal. Field and laboratory tests have shown a 40% improvement in
sealing capability and durable life.
Through field and fleet testing and analysis, it is apparent that lubricating oil used in vehicle
assembly processes is easily misdiagnosed as a refrigerant leak. The presence of oil at
connections is not necessarily an indication of a leaking connection. If oil at a fitting is due to a
leak, fluorescent tracer dye will be present at the location. Any oil escaping from the A/C hoses will
contain dye.
When checking for leaks, be sure to scan all components, fittings and lines of the A/C system with
the UV lamp. The exact location of the leak or leaks can be pinpointed by the bright yellow-green
glow of the tracer dye. Since more than one leak may exist in the system, always inspect each
component.
The best leak detection results will be achieved in conditions of low ambient light. In areas that
cannot be reached by the UV lamp: (1) use a technician's mirror or (2) use a non-fluorescent shop
towel, wipe the suspected area, and then check the towel with the UV lamp for traces of the dye.
After the leak is repaired, the traces of dye can be removed from the previously leaking areas by
using any general purpose oil solvent.
Verify the repair by operating the A/C system for a short while and reinspecting the system with the
UV lamp.
NOTE:
BEGINNING WITH VEHICLES PRODUCED IN MAY 1996, THE TRACER DYE'S FLUORESCENT
LIFESPAN IS THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLES PRODUCED BEFORE MAY 1996
CONTAIN A TRACER DYE WITH A LIFESPAN OF ROUGHLY 500 HOURS OF NC SYSTEM
USE, AFTER WHICH TIME ANOTHER INFUSION OF DYE WOULD BE REQUIRED. REFER TO

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
An A/C pressure cut off switch is used on all vehicles to interrupt operation of the A/C compressor
in the event of high system discharge pressures. The switch is located in the discharge line
between the A/C compressor and the A/C condenser core.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch, HVAC > Component
Information > Description and Operation > A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch > Page 9845
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader-type fitting on the top of the suction
accumulator/drier. 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/drier to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops to 151-165 kPa (22.0-24.0
psi). The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi). This is due to
the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant and the requirement of the system pressure
to reach 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi) to close the A/C cycling pressure switch contacts.
These contacts control the electrical circuit to the A/C clutch field coil. When the A/C cycling
pressure switch contacts close, voltage is supplied to energize the A/C clutch for operation of the
A/C compressor. When the A/C cycling pressure switch contacts open, the A/C clutch is
de-energized and operation of the A/C compressor stops.
The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing. This prevents icing of the A/C
evaporator core and blockage of airflow.

RELAY COMPONENT TEST
Testing of an ISO relay can be accomplished through the use of three No. 10 (or larger gauge)
jumper wires and a 73 Digital Multimeter. Remove (unplug) the relay to be tested from the engine
compartment fuse junction panel, I/P fuse junction panel or individual connector.
Mini ISO Relay Use 73 Digital Multimeter to check for the continuity between terminal 85 and all
other terminals. If resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 85 and any other terminal, replace
the relay. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to
connect relay terminals 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. With the multimeter set in
the volts position, check for voltage at terminal 87A. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the
relay. If battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal 85 and ground the
jumper wire to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 87. If battery voltage is not
indicated, replace the relay.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
An A/C pressure cut off switch is used on all vehicles to interrupt operation of the A/C compressor
in the event of high system discharge pressures. The switch is located in the discharge line
between the A/C compressor and the A/C condenser core.

Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Description and Operation > A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch > Page 9880
Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader-type fitting on the top of the suction
accumulator/drier. 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/drier to control the operation of the A/C cycling switch.
The electrical switch contacts open when the suction pressure drops to 151-165 kPa (22.0-24.0
psi). The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi). This is due to
the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant and the requirement of the system pressure
to reach 276-324 kPa (40-47 psi) to close the A/C cycling pressure switch contacts.
These contacts control the electrical circuit to the A/C clutch field coil. When the A/C cycling
pressure switch contacts close, voltage is supplied to energize the A/C clutch for operation of the
A/C compressor. When the A/C cycling pressure switch contacts open, the A/C clutch is
de-energized and operation of the A/C compressor stops.
The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing. This prevents icing of the A/C
evaporator core and blockage of airflow.

Air Bag: Service Precautions
WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag vehicle and when handling an air bag.
- Carry a live air bag with the bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. an accidental
deployment will then deploy with a minimal chance of injury.
- Place a live air bag on a bench or other surface with the trim cover up.
- After deployment, the air bag surface may 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.
- Repair is made by replacement only. If a part is replaced and the new part does not correct the
condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bags. doing so may result in air bag deployment, which
could result in personal injury.
- Air bag modules with discolored or damaged covers or deployment doors must be replaced, not
repainted.
- To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, the backup power supply must be depleted
before repairing or replacing any air bag system components. To deplete the backup power supply
energy, disconnect the battery to starter relay cable and wait one minute.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Driver Side Air Bag Module
NOTE: The driver side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.
DESCRIPTION
The driver side air bag module is mounted in the center of the steering wheel and consists of the
following components:
Inflator
- When the sensors close, signaling a crash, electrical current flows to the air bag inflator.
- Inside the inflator, an igniter converts the current into thermal energy, causing ignition of the
inflator gas generant.
- This ignition reaction combusts the sodium azide/copper oxide gas generant in the inflator,
producing nitrogen gas, which inflates the air bag.
NOTE: The inflator assembly is not a serviceable item.
Air Bag
The air bag is constructed of neoprene coated nylon. It is 711 mm (28 inches) in diameter and fills
completely in approximately 40 milliseconds.
NOTE: The air bag is not a serviceable item.
Mounting Plate and Retainer Ring
The mounting plate and retainer ring attach and seal the air bag to the inflator. The mounting bracket and housing are also used to attach the trim cover and to mount the entire
driver side air bag module to the steering wheel.
NOTE: The mounting plate and retainer ring are not serviceable items.
Steering Wheel Trim Cover
The cover is an injection-moulded plastic component which encases the driver side air bag module.
When the air bag is activated, tear seams moulded into the steering wheel trim cover separate to
allow inflation.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Passenger Side Air Bag Module
NOTE: The passenger side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.
DESCRIPTION
The passenger side air bag module is mounted in the RH position of the instrument panel above
the glove compartment and consists of the following components:
Inflator
- As with the driver side air bag module, an igniter inside the inflator converts electrical energy to
thermal energy, causing ignition of the gas generant.
- The ignition reaction causes combustion of the sodium azide/iron oxide gas generant producing
nitrogen to fill the bag.
- Since the passenger side air bag is much larger than the driver air bag, it contains more gas
generant in a different inflator configuration to produce more nitrogen gas.
NOTE: The passenger side air bag inflator is not a serviceable item.
Air Bag
The passenger side air bag is constructed of ripstop nylon and fills to a volume of approximately
0.142 cubic meters (5 cubic feet).
NOTE: The air bag is not a serviceable item.
Reaction Housing
The reaction housing is a steel support for the inflator that provides a reaction surface for the
passenger side air bag and is also used to attach the trim cover. It contains mounting brackets that
attach the passenger side air bag module to the instrument panel.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Driver Side Air Bag Module > Page 9918
NOTE: The reaction housing is not a serviceable item.
Trim Cover
Its main function is to retain the air bag in the reaction housing during vehicle operation. The
thermo-plastic trim cover is textured and painted to match the surface of the instrument panel. It is
constructed with a moulded-in tear seam that separates when the air bag inflates, and hinges out
of the way during deployment.
NOTE: The trim cover is not a serviceable item.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic monitor.
The air bag diagnostic monitor continually monitors all air bag system components and wiring
connections for possible faults when the ignition switch is in RUN position.
OPERATION
It does not deploy the air bags in the event of a collision. The air bag diagnostic monitor operates in
the following manner:
- If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a fault in the air bag system, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) will be written to the air bag diagnostic monitor's Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM).
- This DTC will then be displayed on the air bag indicator lamp.
- After servicing, the DTC may then be cleared from NVRAM.
AIR BAG SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Other important features of the air bag diagnostic monitor and its functions within the system are
described below. It is necessary that these key features and functions are well understood.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the
air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on
or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor.
- DTCs may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the
RUN position. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor requires to perform all tests
and verify system faults, if present.
- Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a
two digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a
diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one second pause, then two
flashes, followed by a three second pause.
- If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be
heard, indicating that system service is required.
CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it.
Do not attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse.
- If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor
will attempt to remove deployment power by turning on a solid state switch to blow the 10A battery
fuse 2.
- If the 10 A battery fuse has successfully been blown by the air bag diagnostic monitor, the air bag
diagnostic monitor will not attempt to blow it again until the proper fault has been repaired and
cleared (see Diagnostic Trouble Code Clearing procedures for details). The air bag diagnostic
monitor will store both the unwanted deployment DTC and the loss of deployment power DTC. The
loss of deployment power DTC is the highest priority.
- Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the
same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been
corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides
sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event that the battery or battery cables are
damaged in an accident before the center air bag and front air bag sensors close. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery
cable is disconnected.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The front air bag sensors are electrical switches that react to frontal impacts according to direction
and force. The primary sensors measure the crash severity.
OPERATION
Primary crash sensors are "hard-wired" to the air bags and operate in the following manner:
- They discriminate between impacts that require air bag inflation and impacts that do not.
- When an impact occurs that requires air bag inflation, the sensor contacts close, completing the
electrical circuit necessary for system operation.
- The safing sensor and one primary crash sensor must be activated simultaneously to inflate the
air bag.
The air bag system is designed to operate in frontal or front-angled collisions. The driver side air
bag module and passenger side air bag module should activate in a crash with severe frontal
deceleration, more severe than hitting a parked car of similar size and weight head-on at about 45
km/h (28 mph).
Because the air bag system senses severity of the crash rather than vehicle speed, some frontal
collisions at speeds above 45 km/h (28 mph) may not be severe enough to require air bag inflation.
The sensors in the vehicle determine if air bag inflation is required in the following manner:
1. During severe frontal deceleration caused by an impact that decelerates the vehicle in the
forward direction, both a radiator primary crash
sensor and a safing sensor will activate.
2. When a primary and safing sensor are closed at the same time, electrical current will flow,
igniting the driver side air bag module and
passenger side air bag module.

REMOVAL
WARNING:
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air
bag system is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for
deformation. If damaged, the sensor should be replaced whether or not the air bag is deployed.
- Repair is made by replacement only. If a part is replaced and the new part does not correct the
condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.
- To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, the backup power supply must be depleted
before repairing or replacing any air bag system components. To deplete the backup power supply
energy, disconnect the battery to starter relay cable and wait one minute.
1. Disconnect the battery cables.
2. Remove the radiator air deflector.
1 Remove the push clips.

Side Air Bag: Description and Operation Driver Side Air Bag Module
NOTE: The driver side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.
DESCRIPTION
The driver side air bag module is mounted in the center of the steering wheel and consists of the
following components:
Inflator
- When the sensors close, signaling a crash, electrical current flows to the air bag inflator.
- Inside the inflator, an igniter converts the current into thermal energy, causing ignition of the
inflator gas generant.
- This ignition reaction combusts the sodium azide/copper oxide gas generant in the inflator,
producing nitrogen gas, which inflates the air bag.
NOTE: The inflator assembly is not a serviceable item.
Air Bag
The air bag is constructed of neoprene coated nylon. It is 711 mm (28 inches) in diameter and fills
completely in approximately 40 milliseconds.
NOTE: The air bag is not a serviceable item.
Mounting Plate and Retainer Ring
The mounting plate and retainer ring attach and seal the air bag to the inflator. The mounting bracket and housing are also used to attach the trim cover and to mount the entire
driver side air bag module to the steering wheel.
NOTE: The mounting plate and retainer ring are not serviceable items.
Steering Wheel Trim Cover
The cover is an injection-moulded plastic component which encases the driver side air bag module.
When the air bag is activated, tear seams moulded into the steering wheel trim cover separate to
allow inflation.

Side Air Bag: Description and Operation Passenger Side Air Bag Module
NOTE: The passenger side air bag module is serviced as a complete assembly.
DESCRIPTION
The passenger side air bag module is mounted in the RH position of the instrument panel above
the glove compartment and consists of the following components:
Inflator
- As with the driver side air bag module, an igniter inside the inflator converts electrical energy to
thermal energy, causing ignition of the gas generant.
- The ignition reaction causes combustion of the sodium azide/iron oxide gas generant producing
nitrogen to fill the bag.
- Since the passenger side air bag is much larger than the driver air bag, it contains more gas
generant in a different inflator configuration to produce more nitrogen gas.
NOTE: The passenger side air bag inflator is not a serviceable item.
Air Bag
The passenger side air bag is constructed of ripstop nylon and fills to a volume of approximately
0.142 cubic meters (5 cubic feet).
NOTE: The air bag is not a serviceable item.
Reaction Housing
The reaction housing is a steel support for the inflator that provides a reaction surface for the
passenger side air bag and is also used to attach the trim cover. It contains mounting brackets that
attach the passenger side air bag module to the instrument panel.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Side Air Bag > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Driver Side Air Bag Module > Page 10028
NOTE: The reaction housing is not a serviceable item.
Trim Cover
Its main function is to retain the air bag in the reaction housing during vehicle operation. The
thermo-plastic trim cover is textured and painted to match the surface of the instrument panel. It is
constructed with a moulded-in tear seam that separates when the air bag inflates, and hinges out
of the way during deployment.
NOTE: The trim cover is not a serviceable item.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic monitor.
The air bag diagnostic monitor continually monitors all air bag system components and wiring
connections for possible faults when the ignition switch is in RUN position.
OPERATION
It does not deploy the air bags in the event of a collision. The air bag diagnostic monitor operates in
the following manner:
- If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a fault in the air bag system, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) will be written to the air bag diagnostic monitor's Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM).
- This DTC will then be displayed on the air bag indicator lamp.
- After servicing, the DTC may then be cleared from NVRAM.
AIR BAG SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Other important features of the air bag diagnostic monitor and its functions within the system are
described below. It is necessary that these key features and functions are well understood.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds
when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the
air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on
or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor.
- DTCs may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the
RUN position. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor requires to perform all tests
and verify system faults, if present.
- Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a
two digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a
diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one second pause, then two
flashes, followed by a three second pause.
- If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be
heard, indicating that system service is required.
CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it.
Do not attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse.
- If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor
will attempt to remove deployment power by turning on a solid state switch to blow the 10A battery
fuse 2.
- If the 10 A battery fuse has successfully been blown by the air bag diagnostic monitor, the air bag
diagnostic monitor will not attempt to blow it again until the proper fault has been repaired and
cleared (see Diagnostic Trouble Code Clearing procedures for details). The air bag diagnostic
monitor will store both the unwanted deployment DTC and the loss of deployment power DTC. The
loss of deployment power DTC is the highest priority.
- Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the
same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been
corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.
- The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides
sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event that the battery or battery cables are
damaged in an accident before the center air bag and front air bag sensors close. The backup
power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery
cable is disconnected.

Post Collision Inspection
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle support
assemblies (slide bar), if so equipped, child safety seat tether attachments, and attaching hardware
should be inspected after any collision. All belt assemblies should be replaced unless a qualified
technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate properly. Belt assemblies not in use
during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is
noted.
Safety belt assemblies should be periodically inspected to make sure they have not become
damaged and that they remain in proper operating condition, particularly if they have been
subjected to severe stress.
Before installing the new safety belt assembly, the safety belt attaching areas must be inspected
for damage and distortion. If the attaching points are damaged and distorted, the sheet metal must
be reworked back to its original shape and structural integrity.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation
NOTE: When replacing an Automatic Locking Retraction (ALR) equipped retractor, the retractor
should be checked to make sure it is not in the ALR mode after installation.
All outboard continuous-loop, three-point retractor systems, except the drive reposition, are
equipped with the ALR system. This system is used when locking a child in an outboard seating
position. The ALR system is automatically engaged when the webbing is fully extracted from the
retractor. As the webbing is retracted back onto the spool, an audible clicking sound is made
indicating the retractor is in the ALR mode. The retractor will not lock while the webbing is
retracting onto the spool. As soon as the webbing stops, the retractor will lock. The ALR mode is
automatically disengaged when most of the webbing is retracted back onto the spool. The ALR
mode is disengaged when the audible clicking sound ceases and the webbing is free to move in or
out of the retractor indicating a normal mode of operation.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The front air bag sensors are electrical switches that react to frontal impacts according to direction
and force. The primary sensors measure the crash severity.
OPERATION
Primary crash sensors are "hard-wired" to the air bags and operate in the following manner:
- They discriminate between impacts that require air bag inflation and impacts that do not.
- When an impact occurs that requires air bag inflation, the sensor contacts close, completing the
electrical circuit necessary for system operation.
- The safing sensor and one primary crash sensor must be activated simultaneously to inflate the
air bag.
The air bag system is designed to operate in frontal or front-angled collisions. The driver side air
bag module and passenger side air bag module should activate in a crash with severe frontal
deceleration, more severe than hitting a parked car of similar size and weight head-on at about 45
km/h (28 mph).
Because the air bag system senses severity of the crash rather than vehicle speed, some frontal
collisions at speeds above 45 km/h (28 mph) may not be severe enough to require air bag inflation.
The sensors in the vehicle determine if air bag inflation is required in the following manner:
1. During severe frontal deceleration caused by an impact that decelerates the vehicle in the
forward direction, both a radiator primary crash
sensor and a safing sensor will activate.
2. When a primary and safing sensor are closed at the same time, electrical current will flow,
igniting the driver side air bag module and
passenger side air bag module.

REMOVAL
WARNING:
- Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air
bag system is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for
deformation. If damaged, the sensor should be replaced whether or not the air bag is deployed.
- Repair is made by replacement only. If a part is replaced and the new part does not correct the
condition, install the original part and perform the diagnostic procedure again.
- To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, the backup power supply must be depleted
before repairing or replacing any air bag system components. To deplete the backup power supply
energy, disconnect the battery to starter relay cable and wait one minute.
1. Disconnect the battery cables.
2. Remove the radiator air deflector.
1 Remove the push clips.
2 Remove the radiator air deflector.
3. Disconnect the air bag sensor electrical connector (RH shown, LH similar).

ISSUE: This TSB article contains information on reprogramming Remote Anti-Theft Personality
(RAP) transmitters and how to diagnose if the transmitter needs reprogramming.
ACTION: Refer to the following text for Diagnostic and Reprogramming information.
DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
If any one, but not all, remote entry transmitter button performs a function properly, then that
transmitter is already programmed to the receiver module and does NOT require reprogramming.
Check the functions that do not operate properly on the vehicle itself by referring to the appropriate
model/year Service Manual.
If a remote entry transmitter battery requires replacement, the transmitter does NOT require
reprogramming. The transmitters use an industry standard battery No. 2016 - 3 volt. Alternative
battery manufacturer sources are Duracell # CR2016; Radio Shack # CR2016H or # BR2016H;
and Sony # CR2016.
If there is reduced range performance or the transmitter will only function close to the vehicle, make
sure the external antenna connection is made to the receiver module (if equipped).
REPROGRAMMING INFORMATION
NOTE:
WHEN ENTERING PROGRAM MODE, ONCE THE FIRST TRANSMITTER BUTTON IS
PRESSED, THE RAP MODULE ERASES ALL PREVIOUSLY STORED TRANSMITTER CODES
IN MEMORY. ALL TRANSMITTERS MUST BE PRESENT AT THE SAME TIME TO BE
PROGRAMMED TO THE VEHICLE, WITH A MAXIMUM OF FOUR (4) TRANSMITTERS BEING
ABLE TO BE PROGRAMMED.
NOTE:
WHEN PROGRAM MODE HAS BEEN ENTERED, ANY TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONED WITHIN
30 METERS OF THE VEHICLE CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO THAT VEHICLE, AND IN THE
PROCESS, ERASE OUT ALL PREVIOUSLY STORED TRANSMITTER CODES. MOST FORD
TRANSMITTERS CAN OPERATE IN ANY VEHICLE.
1. Enter Program Mode:
a. For Model Years 1995-97: Cycle the ignition from OFF to RUN/ACC five (5) times within 10
seconds, ending in RUN/ACC, or cycle the ignition from OFF to START three (3) times within 10
seconds, ending in RUN. The power door locks should cycle LOCK to UNLOCK to confirm
entrance into Program Mode.
b. For Model Year 1998 (Windstar/Escort/Trace/Navigator): Cycle the ignition from OFF to
RUN/ACC eight (8) times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN/ACC, or cycle the ignition from OFF to
START four (4) times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN. The power door locks should cycle LOCK
to

Page 10198
UNLOCK to confirm entrance into Program Mode.
2. Press any button on a remote entry transmitter. The power door locks should cycle LOCK then
UNLOCK to acknowledge transmitter code.
3. Repeat Step 2 for any additional remote entry transmitters that need to be programmed to the
vehicle.
4. Turn the ignition switch to OFF to exit Program Mode. To confirm Program Mode has been
exited, the power door locks will cycle LOCK then UNLOCK one last time.
FOR ESCORT/TRACER VEHICLES ONLY:
NOTE:
ESCORT/TRACER OFFERS TWO SYSTEMS FOR NORTH AMERICA AND ONE FOR MEXICO
ONLY. FOR NORTH AMERICA, THERE IS A FULL FOUR-DOOR REMOTE ENTRY WITH
PERIMETER ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM AND A SINGLE DOOR REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM WITH
NO PERIMETER ANTI-THEFT. THE SINGLE DOOR REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM OPERATES
THE DRIVER'S DOOR ONLY AND NOT THE PASSENGER DOORS.
NOTE:
THE RHEOSTAT DIMMER SWITCH MAY CAUSE RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
ISSUES WITH THE REMOTE ENTRY TRANSMITTERS. WHEN FUNCTIONING
TRANSMITTERS, MAKE SURE THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE OFF TO VERIFY PROPER
FUNCTIONALITY. INFORM CUSTOMERS OF POSSIBLE ERRATIC/NO OPERATION OF
REMOTE TRANSMITTERS WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON.
CAUTION:
LOOK FOR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR RODS IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS NOT
BEING CONNECTED PROPERLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT ON SINGLE DOOR
REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM VEHICLES WHERE ONLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR HAS A POWER
DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. TO DETERMINE IF THE TRANSMITTER IS OPERATING
PROPERLY, PRESS THE TRUNK BUTTON TO VERIFY IT RELEASES THE TRUNK.
NOTE:
WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO PERFORM THE PROGRAM
MODE SEQUENCE DUE TO THE IGNITION LOCKING FEATURE. IT WOULD BE EASIER TO
CYCLE THE IGNITION FROM OFF TO ACC RATHER THAN TO RUN.

Multifunction Electronic Control Module: Description and Operation
GEM Circuit Protection
Short Circuit/Battery Voltage
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) outputs are designed to withstand continuous exposure to a
short circuit to ground or battery voltage without being damaged.
GEM Feature and Functions
The GEM controls the following features: ^
Wipers/washers (front/rear).
^ Warning chimes.
^ Battery saver.
^ Illuminated entry and courtesy lamps.
^ Driver power window.
^ Accessory delay.
^ 4-wheel drive.
GEM Diagnostics
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) diagnostics are accessible with the New Generation STAR
(NGS) tester and the Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS). The GEM constantly monitors its
subsystems for concerns. If a concern is found in one of the subsystems, the GEM will record the
concern in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
There are three areas of diagnostic information useful when diagnosing the GEM. ^
DTCs - A record of past or present system problems.
^ PIDs - the present state of an input or output.
^ Active Commands - Gives the ability to turn on GEM outputs without activating the inputs
normally associated with the function.
Ignition Switch Positions
The position of the ignition switch is very important to proper Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
operation. Often times, erratic or unexpected operation can be traced to problems on these GEM
inputs. The following is a brief description of five ignition switch positions.
Run
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN and
RUN/ACC input terminals.
Accessory (ACC)
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN/ACC
input terminal only.
Start
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should he present at the GEM
start/clutch depressed input.
Off and Lock
The GEM does not have an OFF or LOCK Switch State input. The GEM will assume the OFF or
LOCK position when there are no RUN,
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General
Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 10240
ACC, or START signals present.
Wiper/Washer Control and Interval Timer
Front Wipers
There are four modes of operation for the front wipers: speed dependent interval, slow, fast, and
wash. These modes are only active with the ignition switch in the RUN or ACC position. Speed
dependent wipers compensate for the extra moisture that accumulates on the windshield at higher
speeds. At higher speeds, the speed dependent feature shortens the delay between wipes when
using the variable interval wiper feature. Delays will automatically adjust at speeds between 16 and
105 kph (10 and 65 mph).
Rear Wiper
There are two modes of operation for the rear wipers, internal and wash. These modes are only
active with the ignition switch in the RUN or ACC positions and both the liftgate and liftgate glass
are closed.
Chime Warning
There are five warning chimes and lamps the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) controls:
Headlights operating without the ignition ON (chime only), door ajar (chime and lamp), key in the
ignition (chime only), driver seat belt warning (chime and lamp), and low washer fluid warning
(chime and lamp).
Battery Saver
The battery saver feature removes extended interior lamp power drains from the battery. The
Generic Electronic Module (GEM) will keep power available for all interior lights and under hood
lamp circuits for 40 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. The battery saver timer is reset
by unlocking doors with remote entry key fob, activating a door ajar switch, or changing the ignition
to RUN or ACC position. If asleep, the GEM will wake-up when: ^
Any door becomes ajar or is closed.
^ The key is inserted or removed.
^ The ignition switch is turned to ACC or RUN.
^ The doors are unlocked with the remote entry key fob.
Courtesy Lamps/Illuminated Entry
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) illuminates the interior courtesy lamps when any door is
ajar. The GEM also provides illuminated entry when the unlock button is used to unlock the vehicle.
All interior courtesy lamps are turned OFF when any of the following occurs: ^
Twenty-five seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and no door is
ajar.
^ The ignition switch is turned to RUN and no door is ajar.
^ Vehicle speed is over 15 mph (a new ajar signal will turn on courtesy lamps only if the vehicle
speed is less than 10 mph).
^ A power door lock command is received from the remote entry key fob and no door is ajar.
Running Board Lamps
The GEM illuminates the running board lamps when the interior lamps are activated and the
ignition switch is not in the RUN position.
Delayed Accessory (GEM only)
The delayed accessory feature provides power to the power windows for ten minutes after the
ignition switch is moved from the RUN to OFF position. If during this ten-minute period either front
door is opened, the delayed accessory relay will be de-energized.
One-Touch Window
The power switch for the driver window control has two detents for the down window control. With
the ignition switch in RUN or ACC, pressing the first detent (normal mode) allows manual down
window control; pressing harder to the second detent (auto) will cause the driver window to
automatically move to the full down position. Pressing either the up or down window switch will
cancel an auto mode operation in progress.

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

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.

Multifunction Electronic Control Module: Description and Operation
GEM Circuit Protection
Short Circuit/Battery Voltage
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) outputs are designed to withstand continuous exposure to a
short circuit to ground or battery voltage without being damaged.
GEM Feature and Functions
The GEM controls the following features: ^
Wipers/washers (front/rear).
^ Warning chimes.
^ Battery saver.
^ Illuminated entry and courtesy lamps.
^ Driver power window.
^ Accessory delay.
^ 4-wheel drive.
GEM Diagnostics
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) diagnostics are accessible with the New Generation STAR
(NGS) tester and the Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS). The GEM constantly monitors its
subsystems for concerns. If a concern is found in one of the subsystems, the GEM will record the
concern in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
There are three areas of diagnostic information useful when diagnosing the GEM. ^
DTCs - A record of past or present system problems.
^ PIDs - the present state of an input or output.
^ Active Commands - Gives the ability to turn on GEM outputs without activating the inputs
normally associated with the function.
Ignition Switch Positions
The position of the ignition switch is very important to proper Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
operation. Often times, erratic or unexpected operation can be traced to problems on these GEM
inputs. The following is a brief description of five ignition switch positions.
Run
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN and
RUN/ACC input terminals.
Accessory (ACC)
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN/ACC
input terminal only.
Start
When the ignition switch is in this position, battery voltage should he present at the GEM
start/clutch depressed input.
Off and Lock
The GEM does not have an OFF or LOCK Switch State input. The GEM will assume the OFF or
LOCK position when there are no RUN,

Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Page
10388
ACC, or START signals present.
Wiper/Washer Control and Interval Timer
Front Wipers
There are four modes of operation for the front wipers: speed dependent interval, slow, fast, and
wash. These modes are only active with the ignition switch in the RUN or ACC position. Speed
dependent wipers compensate for the extra moisture that accumulates on the windshield at higher
speeds. At higher speeds, the speed dependent feature shortens the delay between wipes when
using the variable interval wiper feature. Delays will automatically adjust at speeds between 16 and
105 kph (10 and 65 mph).
Rear Wiper
There are two modes of operation for the rear wipers, internal and wash. These modes are only
active with the ignition switch in the RUN or ACC positions and both the liftgate and liftgate glass
are closed.
Chime Warning
There are five warning chimes and lamps the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) controls:
Headlights operating without the ignition ON (chime only), door ajar (chime and lamp), key in the
ignition (chime only), driver seat belt warning (chime and lamp), and low washer fluid warning
(chime and lamp).
Battery Saver
The battery saver feature removes extended interior lamp power drains from the battery. The
Generic Electronic Module (GEM) will keep power available for all interior lights and under hood
lamp circuits for 40 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. The battery saver timer is reset
by unlocking doors with remote entry key fob, activating a door ajar switch, or changing the ignition
to RUN or ACC position. If asleep, the GEM will wake-up when: ^
Any door becomes ajar or is closed.
^ The key is inserted or removed.
^ The ignition switch is turned to ACC or RUN.
^ The doors are unlocked with the remote entry key fob.
Courtesy Lamps/Illuminated Entry
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) illuminates the interior courtesy lamps when any door is
ajar. The GEM also provides illuminated entry when the unlock button is used to unlock the vehicle.
All interior courtesy lamps are turned OFF when any of the following occurs: ^
Twenty-five seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and no door is
ajar.
^ The ignition switch is turned to RUN and no door is ajar.
^ Vehicle speed is over 15 mph (a new ajar signal will turn on courtesy lamps only if the vehicle
speed is less than 10 mph).
^ A power door lock command is received from the remote entry key fob and no door is ajar.
Running Board Lamps
The GEM illuminates the running board lamps when the interior lamps are activated and the
ignition switch is not in the RUN position.
Delayed Accessory (GEM only)
The delayed accessory feature provides power to the power windows for ten minutes after the
ignition switch is moved from the RUN to OFF position. If during this ten-minute period either front
door is opened, the delayed accessory relay will be de-energized.
One-Touch Window
The power switch for the driver window control has two detents for the down window control. With
the ignition switch in RUN or ACC, pressing the first detent (normal mode) allows manual down
window control; pressing harder to the second detent (auto) will cause the driver window to
automatically move to the full down position. Pressing either the up or down window switch will
cancel an auto mode operation in progress.

ISSUE In rare instances, throttle sticking may occur on a few vehicles in very cold ambient
temperatures after operating at steady speed or extended idle for a period of time. This may be due
to ice build-up from moisture in the PCV gas on the throttle plate or throttle body.
ACTION Verify the condition is not caused by throttle body sludging, throttle cable binding, or
interference between an improperly positioned floor mat and accelerator pedal. If no other
conditions are identified, check for evidence of PCV system backflow. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Inspect the inside of the clean air tube at the PCV closure hose connection for presence of
moisture, oil, or oily stains. If evidence of PCV system backflow is found, replace the PCV system
with the PCV Service Kit 1L3Z-6A603-AA. Refer to the Instruction Sheet within the PCV Service Kit
for Service Procedure.

ISSUE The vehicles identified in this TSB article should be equipped with an insulated PCV tube
that was installed in production or under Recall 96S59. This insulation provides protection from
PCV backflow due to ice in the PCV system created during steady speed driving in extremely cold
weather. In those extreme cases where the insulated PCV tube does not completely eliminate
throttle body icing due to PCV backflow, a service kit has been developed that will make these
vehicles even less susceptible to PCV freezing.
ACTION Verify that the condition is not caused by throttle body sludging, throttle cable binding, or
interference between an improperly positioned floor mat and accelerator pedal. If no other
conditions are identified, replace the PCV hose and throttle body adapter provided with the
appropriate service kit. Refer to the Instruction Sheet included in the kit for installation details.

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

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

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

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

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

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

DESIGNED FOR VEHICLES WHICH HAVE EXPERIENCED EXPOSURE FOR LESS THAN 120
DAYS. VEHICLES THAT EXCEED 120 DAYS OF EXPOSURE MAY REQUIRE THE
PROCEDURE BE REPEATED TO RESOLVE THE CONCERN. ONCE THIS PROCEDURE IS
COMPLETED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO PERFORM POLISHING OR REFINISHING
PROCEDURES AFTER VEHICLE INSPECTION.
Identification
Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail shipments, etc.
These particles mechanically bond to a vehicle's painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature
combine with particles to create a chemical reaction. This reaction creates an acid, causing the iron
to corrode and enter the paint surface. Industrial fallout and acid rain generate corrosive
compounds that fall on the vehicle's painted surfaces. When subjected to moisture and
temperature, chemical compounds are created that etch the paint surface. To assist in identitying
surface contamination, use a (Tandy-Radio Shack # 63-851) 30x lighted magnifier.
Concern Description
Ferrous Metal
Light Colored Vehicles: Small orange stains the size of "mechanical pencil lead." The surface is
rough to the touch.

Dark Colored Vehicles: Small white or silver appearing dots with a rainbow ring around the dot. The
surface is rough to the touch.
Industrial Fallout
Water spots with ferrous metal are present and the surface is rough to the touch.
Acid Rain/Etching
^ Surface will exhibit irregular discolored spotting.
^ Dark colored vehicles may exhibit cloudy or graying spots where the acid has begun to etch the
paint.
^ Extreme cases of etching will be visible and may be felt.
Decontamination Procedure
Use Ford Acid Neutralizer, Alkaline Neutralizer, and Detail Wash to decontaminate and neutralize
the paint surface. Perform the procedure only on vehicle when the paint surface temperature is
cool. Follow the step-by-step procedure listed below to perform this service operation.
1. Rinse off dust, dirt, and debris with cold water. Flush liberally.
2. Prepare Acid Neutralizer by mixing 8 parts of water to 1 part Acid Neutralizer in a bucket.
3. Use a clean wash mitt and apply mixture of Acid Neutralizer to the entire vehicle starting at the
top of the vehicle working toward the side. Keep the vehicle wet with solution, lightly agitating for 5
to 7 minutes. For vehicles with severe conditions, work the product for up to 8 minutes.
NOTE
USE A SEPARATE MITT FOR EACH PRODUCT. DO NOT INTERMIX MITTS.
4. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with cold water to remove Acid Neutralizer.
5. Dry only the horizontal surfaces of the vehicle at this time. Do not dry glass.
6. Alkaline Neutralizer is ready to use. Do not mix with water. Pour the contents into a dispenser
squirt bottle. Squirt Alkaline Neutralizer directly onto a clean wash mitt. Do not spray Alkaline
Neutralizer on the painted surface. Apply the product to the vehicle, keeping the areas wet and
lightly agitated for 5 to 7 minutes. For vehicles with severe conditions, work the product for up to 8
minutes.
7. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with cold water.
8. Prepare Detail Wash by mixing 29.5 mL (1 ounce) of Detail Wash to 3.7L (1 gallon) of water.
9. Shampoo the vehicle with Detail Wash using a clean wash mitt. Rinse the vehicle with cold water
and dry the vehicle completely.
NOTE
DETAIL WASH IS A HEAVY DUTY NEUTRAL SHAMPOO CONCENTRATE (pH 7) AND MAY BE
USED FOR HAND CAR WASHING OR IN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH SYSTEMS.
Surface Correction Following Decontam./Neutralization
1. Visually inspect paint surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles and water spots.
NOTE
ACID RAIN DISCOLORING OR ETCHING WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES
DEPENDENT ON DEPTH OF DAMAGE;
POLISHING, BUFFING, COLOR SANDING, OR IN EXTREME CASES, REFINISHING.
2. Do Not Intermix Buffing Products. Use only one manufacturer's products.
3. Always follow the manufacturer's product usage sequence. Use the appropriate recommended
pad at recommended buffing speeds as specified by the product manufacturer.
NOTE
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO AFFECT A REPAIR BY BUFFING, POLISHING, OR COLOR SANDING,
DO NOT REMOVE AN EXCESS OF 0.3 MIL OF PAINT FILM OR REFINISHING WILL BE
REQUIRED. USE OF AN ELECTRONIC MIL GAUGE (ROTUNDA 164-R4025) IS HIGHLY

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add additional paint information.
ISSUE
Ford Motor Company's goal is to eliminate paint related repeat repairs and increase customer
satisfaction. To meet this goal, Ford has tested refinish paint materials that are used for warranty.
Tests conducted were designed around OEM Refinish Material Reliability and Durability Standards.
ACTION
Ford Customer Service Division (FCSD) has released a paint material specification
(WSS-M2P100-D) to the major worldwide paint supply companies for testing refinish paint systems.
These paint systems are used for refinishing service parts as well as repair steel and plastic OEM
finishes.
SYSTEMS TESTED
Ford Motor Company has completed testing of refinish paint materials that are compliant to U.S.
"National Rule," "Canadian Rule" and European VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.
NOTE
TESTING OF CALIFORNIA VOC COMPLIANT SYSTEMS WILL BEGIN 9/98 DUE TO A RECENT
MORATORIUM REQUIRING NEW EMISSION COMPLIANT PRODUCTS.
SELECTION AND PREPARATION
Each paint manufacturer was asked to submit worldwide "in-use" paint systems for testing. The
paint materials used for testing were obtained by Ford from local paint jobbers and distributors
and/or shipped in from Europe. Employees of each paint company prepared and sprayed the test
panels. All testing was completed at the Ford Central Laboratory facility.
SUBSTRATES AND TESTS
The paint materials approved from these specifications were tested over the following substrates:
cold rolled steel, E-coated steel, bare galvanized steel, sanded OEM finish, and TPO plastic. A
select group of tests including salt spray, initial adhesion, chipping, fuel resistance, and thermal
shock were used for screening. As the companies passed the screening tests, they were required
to complete the balance of the tests listed in the specifications. Each panel was tested and
reviewed per OEM testing methods.
PAINT PRODUCT CHANGES
If a paint company decides to introduce a new product into a tested system (i.e., new primer, same
clearcoat), the entire system will require retesting.

The Charts following this article (Figures 1-7) indicate paint suppliers and materials. Dealers should
begin to use the recommended paint materials as soon as practical. Dealers without a body shop
should provide a copy of this bulletin to the independent body shop performing their warranty
repairs. The products listed in this bulletin may be made mandatory sometime in the future. As a
result, dealers that have jobber/paint company contractual agreements should only contract with
recommended suppliers (when existing contracts expire)
CONCLUSIONS
Testing of refinish materials will raise standards for these materials. These improved standards will
result in improved customer satisfaction.

A MIL.
NOTE:
PERFORM A TRIAL REPAIR ON A SMALL AREA. FIRST, TRY A POLISH; IF THIS IS NOT
SUCCESSFUL, TRY BUFFING WITH FORD MEDIUM DUTY BODY SHOP PAINT CLEANER
(F6AZ-19530-BA) OR FORD HEAVY DUTY BODY SHOP PAINT CLEANER (F6AZ-19530-CA)
AND, FINALLY, USE WET SANDING TO REMOVE THE CONDITION. USE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE ON THE REMAINING AREAS. AN OUTLINE OF THE COMPLETE
PROCEDURE AND REQUIRED MATERIALS FOLLOWS.
Service Notes
1. Remove sanding marks with Ford Medium or Heavy Duty Body Shop Paint Cleaner.
2. Swirl marks, evident after buffing, may be removed by polishing with Ford Light Duty Body Shop
Polish (F6AZ-19530-BA).
3. Remove light scratches and small dirt particles with a power buffer and Ford Medium Duty Body
Shop Pain Cleaner followed by polishing with Ford Light Duty Body Shop Polish.
4. Remove deep scratches and heavy dirt particles or "orange peel" by wet sanding.
Removing Scratches/Swirl Marks/Restore Dull Finish
The Black and Decker Buffmaster(R) 5950 is the tool of choice. Variable speed buffers are
available in a variety of buffing speeds. The recommended speed range is (1200-1750 rpm).
1. Apply a small amount of Ford Light Duty Body Shop Polish to the pad.
^ Always keep the face of the buffing pad completely flat to the surface, reducing the risk of buffer
swirl marks. Watch your pad, especially on angled surfaces, to be certain that it stays flat
^ When "buffing out" oxidation or other paint defects with a cleaning material, use a liberal amount
of material, slower buffing motion and added downward pressure to increase cutting action
2. When polishing, keep the pad flat against the surface. Do not bear down. The weight of the
buffer is suffi6ient.
CAUTION:
DO NOT MIX PRODUCTS. USE A SEPARATE, DEDICATED BUFFING PAD FOR EACH
PRODUCT TO ACHIEVE DESIRED RESULTS.
Med. Scratches, Small Dirt Particles, Grind & Sanding Marks
1. Apply Ford Medium Duty Body Shop Paint Cleaner to the panel with a clean compound pad on
the wheel.
2. Spread the product evenly and continue buffing until the condition is removed.
3. Keep the wheel flat to the surface and use light to moderate pressure and long strokes.
4. Periodically check the finish and add product as required.
5. When buffing is complete, polish the panel as described previously.
Untreated wool cutting pads are the most effective cutting pads to use with Ford Heavy Duty Body
Shop Paint Cleaner for removing paint defects and heavy oxidation. Following the use of a wool
cutting pad, it may be necessary to polish the finish with a foam pad to remove the deep swirl
marks.
NOTE:
ALWAYS KEEP THE PAD MOVING AND LIMIT YOUR STROKES OVER THE BLEMISH TO
PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILDUP AND POSSIBLE BURN-THROUGH. STOP
IMMEDIATELY IF THE SURFACE BECOMES TOO HOT TO LAY THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
ON IT. KEEP SURFACE TEMPERATURE BELOW 38°C (100°F).
NOTE:
HEAT BUILDUP: WHEN BUFFING CREATES EXCESSIVE HEAT, HAZING MAY APPEAR
ACROSS THE SURFACE BEING BUFFED AND THE PRODUCT MAY DRY LIKE A FILM AND
REFUSE TO BUFF OUT. TO REMEDY, WIPE THE AREA DOWN WITH COOL WATER, DRY
THE SURFACE AND RESUME BUFFING, AT A LOWER RPM IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE:
STATIC: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY BE PRESENT ON A PAINTED FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC
SURFACE BEING BUFFED. THE MATERIAL MAY DRY LIKE A FILM OR TURN "GUMMY" AND
BEGIN TO BALL UP. TO REMEDY, ATTACH A GROUNDING CLAMP TO THE SURFACE BEING
BUFFED TO ELIMINATE THE STATIC CHARGE.
Run and Sag Removal
This procedure consists of shaving the run(s) or sag(s) flush with a commercial single edge razor
blade, shaving file or sanding.
NOTE:
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > 98-3-3 > Feb > 98 > Paint - Surface Defect Removal Without
Repainting > Page 10994
IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST DULL THE
CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT AREA FINISH.
1. Lightly scrape the defect until the defect is level with the surface.
2. Wet sand or compound the surface to remove any small scratches.
3. Polish to complete the repair.
Wet Sanding For Defect Removal
^ Typical paint defects that are repaired with this system include: dirt in paint, solvent "pop,"
cratering, "orange peel," drips, scratches, water spots, and acid rain
^ Always use the least abrasive (highest grit) sanding products possible to do this job
The following wet sanding procedure utilizes light grit sandpaper or sanding blocks for removal of
surface damage. These materials cut quickly, leaving a uniform finish requiring a minimum of
buffing to restore gloss.
1. Mist or apply water on the area to be sanded. Continue to flush water on the surface during
sanding for maximum lubrication.
2. Use sanding blocks or paper. Keep abrasion to the immediate area of the defect. Keep blocks in
water when not in use.
3. If the cutting is too slow, switch to a lower grade block or paper and resume sanding. When 90%
of the defect is removed, switch to a 2000 grade sand paper or sanding block to finish smoothing
and prepare the surface for buffing.
4. Sanding blocks can be shaped to work on any angle. When the block is wet, rub it against a dry
sanding block for shaping.
5. When using sanding papers, wrap the paper tightly around a backing pad. This pad evenly
distributes pressure over the entire surface of the sanding paper. This creates a uniform sanding
pattern.
6. Plan your strokes to limit the abrasion to the smallest area possible.
7. Always finish sanding with 2000 Grit Sanding Paper. 2000 grit paper will reduce the need for
heavy compound, however, the area should be finished by using a cleaner that will remove the
sanding scratches left by these papers.
NOTE:
IF MULTIPLE GRIT PAPERS ARE USED, IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION
OF SANDING STROKE TO ALLOW YOU TO SEE THAT THE PREVIOUS GRIT SCRATCH IS
REMOVED.
8. Buff out sanding marks by applying Ford Medium Duty Body Shop Paint Cleaner with a "Foam"
Cutting Pad (W7000). Follow with Ford Light Duty Body Shop Polish for a swirl-free gloss.
General Techniques and Hints
^ "Foam" buffing pads yield maximum gloss and depth of color on all types of paint finishes without
creating buffer swirl marks
^ Always apply product directly to pad, not to oxidized paint surface. Dry paint absorbs material into
pores upon contact
^ Avoid short rapid strokes. Move the buffer slowly across the surface using long straight motions
and overlap by 50% the buffing pattern left by the previous pass. This insures uniform coverage
and allows both material and buffer to perform at maximum efficiency
^ Avoid buffing directly on raised character lines. The reduced paint film on these surfaces
increases the risk of paint burn-through. It is best to buff up to them from each side
^ If a paint blemish remains after buffing, reapply a small amount of material over the blemish~
Confine your buffing strokes to the immediate area of the blemish while applying additional
downward pressure and keeping the pad flat

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add additional paint information.
ISSUE
Ford Motor Company's goal is to eliminate paint related repeat repairs and increase customer
satisfaction. To meet this goal, Ford has tested refinish paint materials that are used for warranty.
Tests conducted were designed around OEM Refinish Material Reliability and Durability Standards.
ACTION
Ford Customer Service Division (FCSD) has released a paint material specification
(WSS-M2P100-D) to the major worldwide paint supply companies for testing refinish paint systems.
These paint systems are used for refinishing service parts as well as repair steel and plastic OEM
finishes.
SYSTEMS TESTED
Ford Motor Company has completed testing of refinish paint materials that are compliant to U.S.
"National Rule," "Canadian Rule" and European VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.
NOTE
TESTING OF CALIFORNIA VOC COMPLIANT SYSTEMS WILL BEGIN 9/98 DUE TO A RECENT
MORATORIUM REQUIRING NEW EMISSION COMPLIANT PRODUCTS.
SELECTION AND PREPARATION
Each paint manufacturer was asked to submit worldwide "in-use" paint systems for testing. The
paint materials used for testing were obtained by Ford from local paint jobbers and distributors
and/or shipped in from Europe. Employees of each paint company prepared and sprayed the test
panels. All testing was completed at the Ford Central Laboratory facility.
SUBSTRATES AND TESTS
The paint materials approved from these specifications were tested over the following substrates:
cold rolled steel, E-coated steel, bare galvanized steel, sanded OEM finish, and TPO plastic. A
select group of tests including salt spray, initial adhesion, chipping, fuel resistance, and thermal
shock were used for screening. As the companies passed the screening tests, they were required
to complete the balance of the tests listed in the specifications. Each panel was tested and
reviewed per OEM testing methods.
PAINT PRODUCT CHANGES
If a paint company decides to introduce a new product into a tested system (i.e., new primer, same
clearcoat), the entire system will require retesting.

The Charts following this article (Figures 1-7) indicate paint suppliers and materials. Dealers should
begin to use the recommended paint materials as soon as practical. Dealers without a body shop
should provide a copy of this bulletin to the independent body shop performing their warranty
repairs. The products listed in this bulletin may be made mandatory sometime in the future. As a
result, dealers that have jobber/paint company contractual agreements should only contract with
recommended suppliers (when existing contracts expire)
CONCLUSIONS
Testing of refinish materials will raise standards for these materials. These improved standards will
result in improved customer satisfaction.

A MIL.
NOTE:
PERFORM A TRIAL REPAIR ON A SMALL AREA. FIRST, TRY A POLISH; IF THIS IS NOT
SUCCESSFUL, TRY BUFFING WITH FORD MEDIUM DUTY BODY SHOP PAINT CLEANER
(F6AZ-19530-BA) OR FORD HEAVY DUTY BODY SHOP PAINT CLEANER (F6AZ-19530-CA)
AND, FINALLY, USE WET SANDING TO REMOVE THE CONDITION. USE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE ON THE REMAINING AREAS. AN OUTLINE OF THE COMPLETE
PROCEDURE AND REQUIRED MATERIALS FOLLOWS.
Service Notes
1. Remove sanding marks with Ford Medium or Heavy Duty Body Shop Paint Cleaner.
2. Swirl marks, evident after buffing, may be removed by polishing with Ford Light Duty Body Shop
Polish (F6AZ-19530-BA).
3. Remove light scratches and small dirt particles with a power buffer and Ford Medium Duty Body
Shop Pain Cleaner followed by polishing with Ford Light Duty Body Shop Polish.
4. Remove deep scratches and heavy dirt particles or "orange peel" by wet sanding.
Removing Scratches/Swirl Marks/Restore Dull Finish
The Black and Decker Buffmaster(R) 5950 is the tool of choice. Variable speed buffers are
available in a variety of buffing speeds. The recommended speed range is (1200-1750 rpm).
1. Apply a small amount of Ford Light Duty Body Shop Polish to the pad.
^ Always keep the face of the buffing pad completely flat to the surface, reducing the risk of buffer
swirl marks. Watch your pad, especially on angled surfaces, to be certain that it stays flat
^ When "buffing out" oxidation or other paint defects with a cleaning material, use a liberal amount
of material, slower buffing motion and added downward pressure to increase cutting action
2. When polishing, keep the pad flat against the surface. Do not bear down. The weight of the
buffer is suffi6ient.
CAUTION:
DO NOT MIX PRODUCTS. USE A SEPARATE, DEDICATED BUFFING PAD FOR EACH
PRODUCT TO ACHIEVE DESIRED RESULTS.
Med. Scratches, Small Dirt Particles, Grind & Sanding Marks
1. Apply Ford Medium Duty Body Shop Paint Cleaner to the panel with a clean compound pad on
the wheel.
2. Spread the product evenly and continue buffing until the condition is removed.
3. Keep the wheel flat to the surface and use light to moderate pressure and long strokes.
4. Periodically check the finish and add product as required.
5. When buffing is complete, polish the panel as described previously.
Untreated wool cutting pads are the most effective cutting pads to use with Ford Heavy Duty Body
Shop Paint Cleaner for removing paint defects and heavy oxidation. Following the use of a wool
cutting pad, it may be necessary to polish the finish with a foam pad to remove the deep swirl
marks.
NOTE:
ALWAYS KEEP THE PAD MOVING AND LIMIT YOUR STROKES OVER THE BLEMISH TO
PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILDUP AND POSSIBLE BURN-THROUGH. STOP
IMMEDIATELY IF THE SURFACE BECOMES TOO HOT TO LAY THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
ON IT. KEEP SURFACE TEMPERATURE BELOW 38°C (100°F).
NOTE:
HEAT BUILDUP: WHEN BUFFING CREATES EXCESSIVE HEAT, HAZING MAY APPEAR
ACROSS THE SURFACE BEING BUFFED AND THE PRODUCT MAY DRY LIKE A FILM AND
REFUSE TO BUFF OUT. TO REMEDY, WIPE THE AREA DOWN WITH COOL WATER, DRY
THE SURFACE AND RESUME BUFFING, AT A LOWER RPM IF POSSIBLE.
NOTE:
STATIC: STATIC ELECTRICITY MAY BE PRESENT ON A PAINTED FIBERGLASS/PLASTIC
SURFACE BEING BUFFED. THE MATERIAL MAY DRY LIKE A FILM OR TURN "GUMMY" AND
BEGIN TO BALL UP. TO REMEDY, ATTACH A GROUNDING CLAMP TO THE SURFACE BEING
BUFFED TO ELIMINATE THE STATIC CHARGE.
Run and Sag Removal
This procedure consists of shaving the run(s) or sag(s) flush with a commercial single edge razor
blade, shaving file or sanding.
NOTE:

IF IT IS NECESSARY TO SHAVE RUNS AND SAGS WITH A RAZOR BLADE, FIRST DULL THE
CORNERS WITH SANDPAPER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE ADJACENT AREA FINISH.
1. Lightly scrape the defect until the defect is level with the surface.
2. Wet sand or compound the surface to remove any small scratches.
3. Polish to complete the repair.

Service Procedure
NOTE
ANY CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE OR
UNSATISFACTORY REPAIR. THE USE OF ANY OTHER PRODUCT OR PROCEDURE MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO ALUMINUM OR PAINTED SURFACES.
NOTE
THE PRODUCTS USED TO REMOVE SURFACE CONTAMINATION FROM PAINT ARE
DESIGNED FOR VEHICLES WHICH HAVE EXPERIENCED EXPOSURE FOR LESS THAN 120
DAYS. VEHICLES THAT EXCEED 120 DAYS OF EXPOSURE MAY REQUIRE THE
PROCEDURE BE REPEATED TO RESOLVE THE CONCERN. ONCE THIS PROCEDURE IS
COMPLETED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO PERFORM POLISHING OR REFINISHING
PROCEDURES AFTER VEHICLE INSPECTION.
Identification
Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail shipments, etc.
These particles mechanically bond to a vehicle's painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature
combine with particles to create a chemical reaction. This reaction creates an acid, causing the iron
to corrode and enter the paint surface. Industrial fallout and acid rain generate corrosive
compounds that fall on the vehicle's painted surfaces. When subjected to moisture and
temperature, chemical compounds are created that etch the paint surface. To assist in identitying
surface contamination, use a (Tandy-Radio Shack # 63-851) 30x lighted magnifier.
Concern Description
Ferrous Metal
Light Colored Vehicles: Small orange stains the size of "mechanical pencil lead." The surface is
rough to the touch.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Paint: > Page 11036
Dark Colored Vehicles: Small white or silver appearing dots with a rainbow ring around the dot. The
surface is rough to the touch.
Industrial Fallout
Water spots with ferrous metal are present and the surface is rough to the touch.
Acid Rain/Etching
^ Surface will exhibit irregular discolored spotting.
^ Dark colored vehicles may exhibit cloudy or graying spots where the acid has begun to etch the
paint.
^ Extreme cases of etching will be visible and may be felt.
Decontamination Procedure
Use Ford Acid Neutralizer, Alkaline Neutralizer, and Detail Wash to decontaminate and neutralize
the paint surface. Perform the procedure only on vehicle when the paint surface temperature is
cool. Follow the step-by-step procedure listed below to perform this service operation.
1. Rinse off dust, dirt, and debris with cold water. Flush liberally.
2. Prepare Acid Neutralizer by mixing 8 parts of water to 1 part Acid Neutralizer in a bucket.
3. Use a clean wash mitt and apply mixture of Acid Neutralizer to the entire vehicle starting at the
top of the vehicle working toward the side. Keep the vehicle wet with solution, lightly agitating for 5
to 7 minutes. For vehicles with severe conditions, work the product for up to 8 minutes.
NOTE
USE A SEPARATE MITT FOR EACH PRODUCT. DO NOT INTERMIX MITTS.
4. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with cold water to remove Acid Neutralizer.
5. Dry only the horizontal surfaces of the vehicle at this time. Do not dry glass.
6. Alkaline Neutralizer is ready to use. Do not mix with water. Pour the contents into a dispenser
squirt bottle. Squirt Alkaline Neutralizer directly onto a clean wash mitt. Do not spray Alkaline
Neutralizer on the painted surface. Apply the product to the vehicle, keeping the areas wet and
lightly agitated for 5 to 7 minutes. For vehicles with severe conditions, work the product for up to 8
minutes.
7. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with cold water.
8. Prepare Detail Wash by mixing 29.5 mL (1 ounce) of Detail Wash to 3.7L (1 gallon) of water.
9. Shampoo the vehicle with Detail Wash using a clean wash mitt. Rinse the vehicle with cold water
and dry the vehicle completely.
NOTE
DETAIL WASH IS A HEAVY DUTY NEUTRAL SHAMPOO CONCENTRATE (pH 7) AND MAY BE
USED FOR HAND CAR WASHING OR IN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH SYSTEMS.
Surface Correction Following Decontam./Neutralization
1. Visually inspect paint surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles and water spots.
NOTE
ACID RAIN DISCOLORING OR ETCHING WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES
DEPENDENT ON DEPTH OF DAMAGE;
POLISHING, BUFFING, COLOR SANDING, OR IN EXTREME CASES, REFINISHING.
2. Do Not Intermix Buffing Products. Use only one manufacturer's products.
3. Always follow the manufacturer's product usage sequence. Use the appropriate recommended
pad at recommended buffing speeds as specified by the product manufacturer.
NOTE
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO AFFECT A REPAIR BY BUFFING, POLISHING, OR COLOR SANDING,
DO NOT REMOVE AN EXCESS OF 0.3 MIL OF PAINT FILM OR REFINISHING WILL BE
REQUIRED. USE OF AN ELECTRONIC MIL GAUGE (ROTUNDA 164-R4025) IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED TO INSURE CONTROL OF PAINT FILM REMOVAL.
4. Use a dual action sander with a Velcro backing plate and a foam pad to fine polish and remove
any swirls created by a rotary buffer or pad.

Sunroof / Moonroof Relay: Testing and Inspection
Testing of an ISO relay can be accomplished through the use of three No. 10 (or larger gauge)
jumper wires and a 73 Digital Multimeter. Remove (unplug) the relay to be tested from the engine
compartment fuse junction panel, I/P fuse junction panel or individual connector.
Mini ISO Relay Use the 73 Digital Multimeter to check for the continuity between terminal 85 and all
other terminals. If resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 85 and any other terminal, replace
the relay. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to
connect relay terminals 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. With the 73 Digital
Multimeter set in the volts position, check for voltage at terminal 87A. If battery voltage is not
indicated, replace the relay. If battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal
85 and ground the jumper wire to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 87. If battery
voltage is not indicated, replace the relay.

The front leather seats may prematurely wear or wrinkle on some vehicles. This may be caused by
the seat cover sticking to the foam cushion.
ACTION
Replace the leather seat cover with a revised seat cover which includes angel hair to be placed

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

This article supersedes TSB 01-09-8 to update the vehicle line and model year coverage and
service procedure.
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit corrosion at the hem flange at bottom of any door/tailgate where the
outer panel is folded over the inner panel.
ACTION
Repair corrosion at the hem flange using special hem flange tools. Refer to the following Service
Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE
READ THIS REPAIR PROCEDURE COMPLETELY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE
ACTIONS.
NOTE
THE USE OF FORD OR MOTORCRAFT BRAND PRODUCTS ARE MANDATORY ON ALL
REPAIR CLAIMS PAID BY FORD UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN EMISSIONS, SAFETY
RECALLS, OWNER NOTIFICATION PROGRAMS, TSB'S OR OTHER COMPANY
PUBLICATIONS. THE COST OF NON-FORD/MOTORCRAFT PRODUCTS USED FOR A
WARRANTY, ESP/ESC OR AWA REPAIR WITHOUT JUSTIFYING THEIR USE (SUCH AS
EMERGENCY REPAIR) IS NOT REIMBURSABLE. EXAMPLES OF FORD PRODUCTS ARE
ADHESIVES, SEALERS, SOLVENTS, CLEANERS, WASHES, AND OTHER SPECIAL
PRODUCTS LISTED IN THE FORD CAR CARE PRODUCTS MANUAL.
NOTE
TECHNICIANS SHOULD WEAR THE APPROPRIATE EYE, HAND AND HEARING PROTECTION
WHILE PERFORMING THESE REPAIR PROCEDURES. ADHESIVES AND SEALERS USED IN
THESE PROCEDURES SHOULD BE USED IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
1. Inspect the inside of the door/tailgate at the lower edge only for corrosion/bubbling.
2. Follow the Workshop Manual procedure for the removal of the interior door panel or tailgate and
tailgate moldings.
3. Use shop air to blow out the drain holes in the bottom of the door/tailgate and apply 25 mm (1")
tape to the outer skin at the bottom to prevent scuffing.
4. Use a hammer and screwdriver to slightly lift the corner of the hem flange.
5. Insert TOOL 501-078/1(RT) or TOOL 501-078/2(LT) in an air impact gun (620 kPa (90 psi) air
pressure is required for consistent tool operation). Using the tool lift the hem flange continuing
across the bottom of the door/tailgate and stop just before the end.
6. Use an angle grinder or wire brush to remove all corrosion on the bottom of the hem flange and
inner door/tailgate panel. Follow by blowing off with compressed air.
7. Using appropriate hand protection, brush on Corrosion Converter (Sem # 69508) on the
corroded area. Use light coat and let flash dry 2-5 minutes. Follow by using a damp cloth to wipe
off corrosion residue.

Weatherstrip Windnoise or Appearance Service Tips
The following text explains attachment methods for Ford Motor Company's generic repair
standards for loose and/or misaligned weatherstrips.
Flanges
are typically used on the body opening where weatherstrip retention fins grab onto each side of the
sheet metal flange to retain the weatherstrip with a press fit. In cases where these weatherstrips
become loose and/or misaligned, they can be reinstalled by pressing the locking retention fins back
onto the sheet metal flange and stretching to provide better retention around corners. If the
weatherstrip retention fins or metal carrier become damaged, it is also required that the U-section
be carefully bent back into the proper shape to properly lock onto the sheet metal flange. Once
replaced, check the weatherstrip for proper retention. If required, Weatherstrip and Rubber
Adhesive (E8AZ-19552-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G14-A) should be
applied to the inside of the weatherstrip U-section to bond with the sheet metal flange for proper
retention force.
Sheet Metal C-Channels
are typically used on the upper perimeter of the door assembly or body panel to hold the
weatherstrip molded base inside the C-channel. In cases where these weatherstrips pop out of the
channel, repair by first removing the weatherstrip from the entire channel, and reassemble by
sliding the molded base back into the channel. If the sheet metal channel has been damaged, it is
also required that the C-channel be carefully bent back into the proper shape to retain the
weatherstrip molded base.
Push Pins
are typically used on the lower perimeter of the door assembly attached to the weatherstrip. They
are press fit into sheet metal holes for retention. Push pins can be gently removed by pulling the
actual pin normal to the surface, out of the hole, and reinserted without damage. If a push pin is
damaged, it should be replaced by first removing the existing push pin. Then, the base of a new
push pin should be inserted into the weatherstrip hole, and finally press fit into the corresponding
sheet metal hole. All door perimeter weatherstrip push pins should be repaired using Ford standard
N806340-S.
Rivets
are used to attach some weatherstrips to the sheet metal body. In cases where a rivet becomes
loose, the entire rivet should be removed and replaced with a new rivet.
Adhesive Tape
is used to adhere smaller weatherstrip sections to the painted sheet metal surface. All surfaces
must be clean and dry before any weatherstrip reattachment is performed. Adhesive tears should
be reattached to the painted surface using general purpose Instant Adhesive (E8AZ-19554-A or
equivalent).
Verification
1. If the weatherstrip is not attached properly, reattach it correctly.
2. If the condition of the weatherstrip is good and it is attached properly, test drive the vehicle to
diagnose the root cause of the windnoise. Verify the sealing contact between the door and the
weatherstrip is sufficient with the 3X5" Card Test or a Chalk Test found in this TSB article.
3. If sealing contact between the weatherstrip and the door is the root cause of the windnoise,
readjust the doors to contact the weatherstrips.
NOTE
WEATHERSTRIP REPAIRS SHOULD NOT CREATE UNACCEPTABLE DOOR CLOSING
EFFORTS, WINDNOISE CONCERNS, OR WATER LEAK CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR
SYSTEM.
3X5" Card Test
1. Insert a 3x5" card between the door and the weatherstrip at the base of the A-pillar with the door
closed.
2. Run the card up along the A-pillar.
If the card easily moves at any location along the A-pillar, then the sealing contact between the
door and the weatherstrip is insufficient and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing
contact. This test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact at the margin. To
evaluate sealing contact of the primary and secondary weatherstrips, a Chalk Test must be
performed.
Chalk Test
1. Lightly and evenly spray the sheet metal sealing surface of the door and body with a tracing
powder (chalk spray).
2. Gently close the door, applying pressure only at the latch to prevent overslam (which will give an
inaccurate reading).
3. Open the door and inspect the seals for degree of compression and possible skips.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 11227
To provide adequate sealing contact, the weatherstrip-to-sheet metal contact should provide a
tracing powder footprint width of 4-6 mm on the weatherstrips. Any skips or tracing powder
footprints less than 3mm in width indicate insufficient door-to-weatherstrip sealing contact and the
door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact.
Door Adjusting
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
1. The upper and lower door hinges provide sufficient in/out adjustment to increase door contact
with the dynamic weatherstrips. The door should not be pried or forced into alignment. To properly
correct the door fit to the weatherstrips, the door striker and/or hinge bolts to the door must be
loosened and adjusted to perform the alignment procedure. Note that the door striker only controls
the in/out location of the door at the rear latch area. The hinges control the in/out location of the
door at the front, and the overall tip or tilt of the door when viewed from the front or rear.
2. Review the overall fit of the door to the surrounding panels, and the amount of compression of
the weatherstrip at all locations around the door. The fitting procedure is mastered sequentially
from the rear of the vehicle to the front:
^ from the quarter panel to the rear door
^ from the rear door to the front door
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 11228
^ then the front door to the fender
All mating surfaces should be reviewed and, if necessary, refit starting with correcting the rear door
to the quarter panel and working forward.
3. The door should be adjusted to obtain proper seal compression while maintaining a good door
fit. An adjustment may be required only at one hinge. For example: if the top of the door is
outboard, causing a lack of seal compression around the upper door frame area, and the fit of the
lower part of the door is good to the adjacent panels, an inward adjustment at only the upper hinge
would be appropriate (refer to Step 5). Note that adjustments to the rear door may require
additional adjustments to the front door, and then also possibly to the front fender to maintain the
proper panel fit and alignment.
4. The rear of the door should be set in/out with the striker to align at the door latch area with the
mating panel. If the upper or lower part of the door doesn't align to the adjacent panel, the amount
of door tip must be corrected by adjustment at the hinges in order to get both the upper and lower
surfaces of the door aligned or flushed to the adjacent panels.
5. The in/out setting at the front of the doors is controlled by the hinge adjustment.
^ It should be set to obtain the proper amount of seal contact, which can be determined using the
3X5" Card Test or the Chalk Test.
^ As a guideline, if there is insufficient weatherstrip contact of the door, the hinge(s) should be
adjusted 2-4 mm inboard. This is accomplished by loosening the hinge~to-door bolts just enough to
permit movement of the door with a padded pry bar.
^ Only one hinge should be adjusted at a time. The other tight hinge helps to prevent any drastic
door movement (which may result due to the weight of the door) which will result in a complete
door refitting for both up/down as well as in/out positions.
^ The amount of movement can be determined by outlining the hinge mounting area on the door
prior to adjustment, and measuring the hinge movement relative to this outline after adjustment. A
2-4mm adjustment should be sufficient to return the door to within its nominal operating range.
6. Finally, the door closing effort should be checked to be sure the seal compression has not
increased so much that a closing effort concern has been created. If the efforts are unacceptably
high, the door may have been moved excessively inward, and should be refitted outward to a
location that balances the seal compression for windnoise with closing efforts. It may be necessary
to perform another 3X5" Card Test or Chalk Test to verify the final seal compression.

Weatherstrip Windnoise or Appearance Service Tips
The following text explains attachment methods for Ford Motor Company's generic repair
standards for loose and/or misaligned weatherstrips.
Flanges
are typically used on the body opening where weatherstrip retention fins grab onto each side of the
sheet metal flange to retain the weatherstrip with a press fit. In cases where these weatherstrips
become loose and/or misaligned, they can be reinstalled by pressing the locking retention fins back
onto the sheet metal flange and stretching to provide better retention around corners. If the
weatherstrip retention fins or metal carrier become damaged, it is also required that the U-section
be carefully bent back into the proper shape to properly lock onto the sheet metal flange. Once
replaced, check the weatherstrip for proper retention. If required, Weatherstrip and Rubber
Adhesive (E8AZ-19552-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G14-A) should be
applied to the inside of the weatherstrip U-section to bond with the sheet metal flange for proper
retention force.
Sheet Metal C-Channels
are typically used on the upper perimeter of the door assembly or body panel to hold the
weatherstrip molded base inside the C-channel. In cases where these weatherstrips pop out of the
channel, repair by first removing the weatherstrip from the entire channel, and reassemble by
sliding the molded base back into the channel. If the sheet metal channel has been damaged, it is
also required that the C-channel be carefully bent back into the proper shape to retain the
weatherstrip molded base.
Push Pins
are typically used on the lower perimeter of the door assembly attached to the weatherstrip. They
are press fit into sheet metal holes for retention. Push pins can be gently removed by pulling the
actual pin normal to the surface, out of the hole, and reinserted without damage. If a push pin is
damaged, it should be replaced by first removing the existing push pin. Then, the base of a new
push pin should be inserted into the weatherstrip hole, and finally press fit into the corresponding
sheet metal hole. All door perimeter weatherstrip push pins should be repaired using Ford standard
N806340-S.
Rivets
are used to attach some weatherstrips to the sheet metal body. In cases where a rivet becomes
loose, the entire rivet should be removed and replaced with a new rivet.
Adhesive Tape
is used to adhere smaller weatherstrip sections to the painted sheet metal surface. All surfaces
must be clean and dry before any weatherstrip reattachment is performed. Adhesive tears should
be reattached to the painted surface using general purpose Instant Adhesive (E8AZ-19554-A or
equivalent).
Verification
1. If the weatherstrip is not attached properly, reattach it correctly.
2. If the condition of the weatherstrip is good and it is attached properly, test drive the vehicle to
diagnose the root cause of the windnoise. Verify the sealing contact between the door and the
weatherstrip is sufficient with the 3X5" Card Test or a Chalk Test found in this TSB article.
3. If sealing contact between the weatherstrip and the door is the root cause of the windnoise,
readjust the doors to contact the weatherstrips.
NOTE
WEATHERSTRIP REPAIRS SHOULD NOT CREATE UNACCEPTABLE DOOR CLOSING
EFFORTS, WINDNOISE CONCERNS, OR WATER LEAK CONCERNS WITH THE DOOR
SYSTEM.
3X5" Card Test
1. Insert a 3x5" card between the door and the weatherstrip at the base of the A-pillar with the door
closed.
2. Run the card up along the A-pillar.
If the card easily moves at any location along the A-pillar, then the sealing contact between the
door and the weatherstrip is insufficient and the door should be adjusted to increase the sealing
contact. This test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact at the margin. To
evaluate sealing contact of the primary and secondary weatherstrips, a Chalk Test must be
performed.
Chalk Test
1. Lightly and evenly spray the sheet metal sealing surface of the door and body with a tracing
powder (chalk spray).
2. Gently close the door, applying pressure only at the latch to prevent overslam (which will give an
inaccurate reading).
3. Open the door and inspect the seals for degree of compression and possible skips.
Ford Expedition 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-281 4.6L VIN W EFI (1997))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Weatherstrip > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins for Weatherstrip: > 99-6-5 > Apr > 99 > Side Doors - Wind Noises > Page 11253
To provide adequate sealing contact, the weatherstrip-to-sheet metal contact should provide a
tracing powder footprint width of 4-6 mm on the weatherstrips. Any skips or tracing powder
footprints less than 3mm in width indicate insufficient door-to-weatherstrip sealing contact and the
door should be adjusted to increase the sealing contact.
Door Adjusting
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
1. The upper and lower door hinges provide sufficient in/out adjustment to increase door contact
with the dynamic weatherstrips. The door should not be pried or forced into alignment. To properly
correct the door fit to the weatherstrips, the door striker and/or hinge bolts to the door must be
loosened and adjusted to perform the alignment procedure. Note that the door striker only controls
the in/out location of the door at the rear latch area. The hinges control the in/out location of the
door at the front, and the overall tip or tilt of the door when viewed from the front or rear.
2. Review the overall fit of the door to the surrounding panels, and the amount of compression of
the weatherstrip at all locations around the door. The fitting procedure is mastered sequentially
from the rear of the vehicle to the front:
^ from the quarter panel to the rear door
^ from the rear door to the front door

4. The rear of the door should be set in/out with the striker to align at the door latch area with the
mating panel. If the upper or lower part of the door doesn't align to the adjacent panel, the amount
of door tip must be corrected by adjustment at the hinges in order to get both the upper and lower
surfaces of the door aligned or flushed to the adjacent panels.
5. The in/out setting at the front of the doors is controlled by the hinge adjustment.
^ It should be set to obtain the proper amount of seal contact, which can be determined using the
3X5" Card Test or the Chalk Test.
^ As a guideline, if there is insufficient weatherstrip contact of the door, the hinge(s) should be
adjusted 2-4 mm inboard. This is accomplished by loosening the hinge~to-door bolts just enough to

6. Finally, the door closing effort should be checked to be sure the seal compression has not
increased so much that a closing effort concern has been created. If the efforts are unacceptably
high, the door may have been moved excessively inward, and should be refitted outward to a
location that balances the seal compression for windnoise with closing efforts. It may be necessary
to perform another 3X5" Card Test or Chalk Test to verify the final seal compression.

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 11293
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.

9. Cut approximately 3 mm (1/8 in) off the grease tube applicator tip.
10. Before installing the jumper harness, fill the vehicle harness end of the jumper (male pin
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.

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 > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise
Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 11333
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.

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.

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.

05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 11450
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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): >
05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 11451
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.

9. Cut approximately 3 mm (1/8 in) off the grease tube applicator tip.
10. Before installing the jumper harness, fill the vehicle harness end of the jumper (male pin
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.

Audible Warning Device: Flow of Diagnosis
1. Verify the customer's original concern. 2. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern that can
be readily identified, repair as required. 3. Before removing and installing the Generic Electronic
Module (GEM) connectors, you must disconnect vehicle power at the battery. 4. If continuous
DTCs are recorded and the symptom is not present when performing the pinpoint tests, an
intermittent problem may be the cause.
Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals when there is evidence of an
intermittent problem. Complete the entire pinpoint test related to the symptom before replacing the
GEM.
5. If the concern remains after the inspection, determine the symptoms and go to the Symptom
Chart. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures 6. When probing the fuse junction panel,
power distribution box or connectors, damage will result to the connector receptacle if you use a
probe that
is too large for the receptacle.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 in the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the fuel pump and sender assembly as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop
Manual.
NOTE:
THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THE SENDING UNIT FROM THE REMOVED PUMP. THE
REPLACEMENT PUMP HAS A NEW SENDER FITTED ALREADY. THIS SENDER IS ORIENTED
DIFFERENTLY FROM THE REMOVED PART. THIS WILL PUT THE FLOAT CLOSER TO THE
CENTER OF THE TANK.
3. Remove the pressure transducer from the removed pump and install it onto the new pump. Make
sure the electrical connection is made.
4. Using a new green seal (included with the pump), reinstall the pump and sender into the tank as
outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
5. Reinstall the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
NOTE:
WHEN THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED, SOME ABNORMAL DRIVE
SYMPTOMS MAY OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE RELEARNS ITS ADAPTIVE STRATEGY. THE
VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN 16 km (10 MILES) OR MORE TO RELEARN THE
STRATEGY.

ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 in the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the fuel pump and sender assembly as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop
Manual.
NOTE:
THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THE SENDING UNIT FROM THE REMOVED PUMP. THE
REPLACEMENT PUMP HAS A NEW SENDER FITTED ALREADY. THIS SENDER IS ORIENTED
DIFFERENTLY FROM THE REMOVED PART. THIS WILL PUT THE FLOAT CLOSER TO THE
CENTER OF THE TANK.
3. Remove the pressure transducer from the removed pump and install it onto the new pump. Make
sure the electrical connection is made.
4. Using a new green seal (included with the pump), reinstall the pump and sender into the tank as
outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
5. Reinstall the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
NOTE:
WHEN THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED, SOME ABNORMAL DRIVE

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch. When the switch is pressed,
a signal is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to allow automatic shifts from first through
fourth gears or first through third gears only. The PCM energizes the transmission control indicator
lamp (TCIL) when the switch has been pressed to cancel overdrive. The TCIL indicates overdrive
cancel mode activated (lamp on) and electronic pressure control (EPC) circuit shorted (lamp
flashing) or monitored sensor failure.

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.

FUEL - SLOW FILL OR INABILITY TO PUMP GASOLINE INTO FILL NECK AT SERVICE
STATIONS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: A slow fill or the inability to fill the fuel tank may be experienced on some vehicles. This
may be a result of fuel pumps that have a flow rate that is too high, or nozzles that are not within
SAE design standards.
ACTION: Customer may back off the nozzle 12 mm (0.5") and fill normally. If not satisfied, the
customer may have the fuel filler pipe replaced on vehicles built prior to March 26, 1997. The new
fill pipe entry makes the design more tolerant of nozzles which do not follow the SAE standard.
However, if a customer is using a nozzle that is not close to the SAE standard, then the customer
may continue to have problems with early fuel shutoff, even with the new fuel fill pipe. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.

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.

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.

FUEL - SLOW FILL OR INABILITY TO PUMP GASOLINE INTO FILL NECK AT SERVICE
STATIONS
LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: A slow fill or the inability to fill the fuel tank may be experienced on some vehicles. This
may be a result of fuel pumps that have a flow rate that is too high, or nozzles that are not within
SAE design standards.
ACTION: Customer may back off the nozzle 12 mm (0.5") and fill normally. If not satisfied, the
customer may have the fuel filler pipe replaced on vehicles built prior to March 26, 1997. The new
fill pipe entry makes the design more tolerant of nozzles which do not follow the SAE standard.
However, if a customer is using a nozzle that is not close to the SAE standard, then the customer
may continue to have problems with early fuel shutoff, even with the new fuel fill pipe. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1997 EXPEDITION
ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 in the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the fuel pump and sender assembly as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop

ISSUE: The fuel gauge may operate erratically and/or have inaccurate readings. This may be
caused by the sensing float being positioned at the extreme aft of the fuel tank.
ACTION: Replace the fuel pump and sender assembly with a revised pump and sender. The
revised pump and sender has a repositioned sensor assembly to bring the float assembly closer to
the center of the fuel tank. This should reduce the possibility of inaccurate and erratic readings.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 in the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual.
2. Remove the fuel pump and sender assembly as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop
Manual.
NOTE:
THERE IS NO NEED TO REMOVE THE SENDING UNIT FROM THE REMOVED PUMP. THE
REPLACEMENT PUMP HAS A NEW SENDER FITTED ALREADY. THIS SENDER IS ORIENTED
DIFFERENTLY FROM THE REMOVED PART. THIS WILL PUT THE FLOAT CLOSER TO THE
CENTER OF THE TANK.
3. Remove the pressure transducer from the removed pump and install it onto the new pump. Make
sure the electrical connection is made.
4. Using a new green seal (included with the pump), reinstall the pump and sender into the tank as
outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
5. Reinstall the fuel tank as outlined in Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual.
NOTE:
WHEN THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED, SOME ABNORMAL DRIVE
SYMPTOMS MAY OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE RELEARNS ITS ADAPTIVE STRATEGY. THE
VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN 16 km (10 MILES) OR MORE TO RELEARN THE
STRATEGY.

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.

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.

Power Window Relay: Testing and Inspection
73 Digital Multimeter
Special Tool(s)
Testing of an ISO relay can be accomplished through the use of three No. 10 (or larger gauge)
jumper wires and 73 Digital Multimeter. Remove (unplug) the relay to be tested from the engine
compartment fuse junction panel, I/P fuse junction panel or individual connector.
Mini ISO Relay
Using Digital Multimeter, check for the continuity between terminal 85 and all other terminals. If the
resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 85 and any other terminal, replace the relay. If
resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to connect relay
terminals 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. Use Digital Multimeter set in the volts
position to check for voltage at terminal 87A. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the relay. If
battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal 85 and ground the jumper wire
to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 87. If battery voltage is not indicated,
replace the relay.
Micro ISO Relay
Use Digital Multimeter to check for the continuity between terminal 2 and all other terminals. If
resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal 2 and any other terminal, replace the relay. If
resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with the test. Use two jumper wires to connect relay
terminals 1 and 3 directly to the positive battery terminal. Use Digital Multimeter set in the volts
position to check for voltage at terminal 4. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the relay. If
battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal 2 and ground the jumper wire to
a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal 5. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace
the relay.

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

CAUTION: Do not handle the windshield wiper motor abusively when diagnosing the wiper
operations. Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the motor magnets and will make
the windshield wiper motor inoperative. Rough handling of new replacement windshield wiper
motors may also damage the motor magnets.
Use Alternator, Regulator, Battery and Starter Tester (ARBST) 010-00725 or equivalent to test the
windshield wiper motor on the vehicle.
To test the windshield wiper motor, disconnect the windshield wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft
from the windshield wiper motor.
Disconnect the windshield wiper motor connector. Connect the (A) green lead from (B) ARBST or
equivalent to the battery negative (-) post. Connect the (C) red lead from the tester to the
windshield wiper motor (D) common brush terminal (terminal 3).
Test the low speed mode by connecting a (E) cable from the battery positive (+) post to the (F) low
speed brush terminal (terminal 4) and measure the current draw. If the current draw is greater than
3.5 amperes, replace the windshield wiper motor.
Test the high speed mode by connecting a cable from the battery positive (+) post to the (G) high
speed brush terminal (terminal 5) and measure the current draw. If the current draw is greater than
5.5 amperes, replace the windshield wiper motor.
