HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment >
Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 57
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment >

and Instructions > Page 58
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment >
Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 59
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Blower Motor Speed Control
The A/C blower motor speed control is a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) type which provides
variable blower speed control of the blower motor. The A/C blower motor speed control is
controlled by switching the control signal voltage of 5 volts OFF and ON 2,000 times per second.
By varying the ratio of time on (+5 volts) to time off (0 volts), the Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) module tells the A/C bower motor speed control how fast the blower motor should
run. The A/C blower motor speed control has the following features:
^ Has circuitry to protect the blower motor from burning out in the event of a locked rotor condition.
^ Can compensate for changes in battery positive voltage (B+) which prevents the blower speed
from slowing down when the engine is idling and will provide up to a maximum of 30 amperes for
blower motor operation with battery voltages between 10 and 16 volts.

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit an inoperative or inaccurate speedometer, 4x4 lamp illuminated, and/or
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) P1635 or P1639 present after a Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) or Instrument Cluster replacement. This may be caused by the Vehicle Identification (VID)
block that must be programmed when replacing the PCM.
ACTION
As part of the calibration, there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM. Failure to perform the proper
Programmable Module Installation procedure may generate fault code: P1639 VID Block not
programmed or is corrupt--P1635 Tire/Axle Out Of Acceptable Range. Refer to the following
procedures to ensure the PCM is properly configured.

Service Procedure
NGS Procedure "A" will prevent P1639/P1635 from setting. In the event either code is set, use one
of the following NGS Procedures "B" or "C" or WDS Procedure "D" to ensure the PCM is properly
configured.
NOTE
THE FOLLOWING NGS PROCEDURES MUST BE PERFORMED USING THE NGS FLASH
CABLE.
Procedure A - NGS PREFERRED Method To Prevent P1635/P1639
1. With the original PCM installed and using the NGS service card, select "Programmable Module
Installation".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Retrieve Module Config-Old ECU".
4. After the Module data has been stored, install the new PCM, press CANCEL to return to the
menu and select "Restore Module Config-New ECU".
This procedure will retrieve the VID data from the original PCM and store it into the new PCM. If the
original PCM will not communicate, install the new PCM and start the procedure over at Step 1. If
the new PCM VID is blank, the NGS will direct you to contact the As-Built Data center during Step
a above. Obtain As-Built Data from the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website and
manually enter the PCM data from the As-Built Data sheet as the NGS asks for it. After the data
has been entered, continue to Step 4 above.
Procedure B - NGS Alternative Method
1. Using NGS service card, select "Service Bay Functions".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Module Configuration".
4. Select "94-02 EECV & PTEC-By TSB".
5. Cycle ignition as directed by NGS.
6. Once the PCM initializes and the warning screen is displayed, Tire size/Axle, etc. can then be
updated.
Procedure C - If the VID block is not correctly programmed - but has some data stored in it, the
NGS Service Function Card may not be able to configure the PCM due to the need to reprogram
the module
1. Create an NGS Flash Card with the correct calibration (Tear Tag).
2. Start the reprogramming process. (you will be notified that the vehicle already has the latest
calibration).
3. Select CANCEL - you will be given the opportunity to update PCM parameters (Vehicle ID block
data).
4. Update the Vehicle ID block data and, it necessary, the NGS will continue to reflash the module.
Procedure D - WDS Procedure if proper Programmable Module Installation was not performed and
P1639/P1635 is set

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit an inoperative or inaccurate speedometer, 4x4 lamp illuminated, and/or
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) P1635 or P1639 present after a Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) or Instrument Cluster replacement. This may be caused by the Vehicle Identification (VID)
block that must be programmed when replacing the PCM.
ACTION
As part of the calibration, there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM. Failure to perform the proper
Programmable Module Installation procedure may generate fault code: P1639 VID Block not
programmed or is corrupt--P1635 Tire/Axle Out Of Acceptable Range. Refer to the following
procedures to ensure the PCM is properly configured.

Service Procedure
NGS Procedure "A" will prevent P1639/P1635 from setting. In the event either code is set, use one
of the following NGS Procedures "B" or "C" or WDS Procedure "D" to ensure the PCM is properly
configured.
NOTE
THE FOLLOWING NGS PROCEDURES MUST BE PERFORMED USING THE NGS FLASH
CABLE.
Procedure A - NGS PREFERRED Method To Prevent P1635/P1639
1. With the original PCM installed and using the NGS service card, select "Programmable Module
Installation".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Retrieve Module Config-Old ECU".
4. After the Module data has been stored, install the new PCM, press CANCEL to return to the
menu and select "Restore Module Config-New ECU".
This procedure will retrieve the VID data from the original PCM and store it into the new PCM. If the
original PCM will not communicate, install the new PCM and start the procedure over at Step 1. If
the new PCM VID is blank, the NGS will direct you to contact the As-Built Data center during Step
a above. Obtain As-Built Data from the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website and
manually enter the PCM data from the As-Built Data sheet as the NGS asks for it. After the data
has been entered, continue to Step 4 above.
Procedure B - NGS Alternative Method
1. Using NGS service card, select "Service Bay Functions".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Module Configuration".
4. Select "94-02 EECV & PTEC-By TSB".
5. Cycle ignition as directed by NGS.
6. Once the PCM initializes and the warning screen is displayed, Tire size/Axle, etc. can then be
updated.
Procedure C - If the VID block is not correctly programmed - but has some data stored in it, the
NGS Service Function Card may not be able to configure the PCM due to the need to reprogram
the module
1. Create an NGS Flash Card with the correct calibration (Tear Tag).
2. Start the reprogramming process. (you will be notified that the vehicle already has the latest
calibration).
3. Select CANCEL - you will be given the opportunity to update PCM parameters (Vehicle ID block
data).
4. Update the Vehicle ID block data and, it necessary, the NGS will continue to reflash the module.
Procedure D - WDS Procedure if proper Programmable Module Installation was not performed and
P1639/P1635 is set
Using WDS with B11 or later software and ignition in OFF position:
1. Connect WDS DLC cable to vehicle OBD II connector (lower center of dash).
2. Select "16 PIN", select "All others, except those below", press TICK.
3. Screen shows installation of cable, press TICK.

2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Retrieve Module Config-Old ECU".
4. After the Module data has been stored, install the new PCM, press CANCEL to return to the
menu and select "Restore Module Config-New ECU".
This procedure will retrieve the VID data from the original PCM and store it into the new PCM. If the
original PCM will not communicate, install the new PCM and start the procedure over at Step 1. If
the new PCM VID is blank, the NGS will direct you to contact the As-Built Data center during Step
a above. Obtain As-Built Data from the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website and
manually enter the PCM data from the As-Built Data sheet as the NGS asks for it. After the data
has been entered, continue to Step 4 above.
Procedure B - NGS Alternative Method
1. Using NGS service card, select "Service Bay Functions".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Module Configuration".
4. Select "94-02 EECV & PTEC-By TSB".
5. Cycle ignition as directed by NGS.
6. Once the PCM initializes and the warning screen is displayed, Tire size/Axle, etc. can then be
updated.
Procedure C - If the VID block is not correctly programmed - but has some data stored in it, the
NGS Service Function Card may not be able to configure the PCM due to the need to reprogram
the module
1. Create an NGS Flash Card with the correct calibration (Tear Tag).
2. Start the reprogramming process. (you will be notified that the vehicle already has the latest
calibration).
3. Select CANCEL - you will be given the opportunity to update PCM parameters (Vehicle ID block
data).
4. Update the Vehicle ID block data and, it necessary, the NGS will continue to reflash the module.
Procedure D - WDS Procedure if proper Programmable Module Installation was not performed and
P1639/P1635 is set

Programming Procedures > Page 329
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

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 365
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

and Instructions > Page 366
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

and Instructions > Page 367
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Engine Control Module: Procedures
Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is contained in an Integrated Circuit
(IC) internally to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy as well as any calibration
information specific to the vehicle.
The IC is reprogrammable and at times it may become necessary to reprogram or reflash the entire
contents. This is usually due to either an after production strategy change or the Vehicle
Identification (VID) area has been previously reprogrammed and has reached its limit. The VID
block area can be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since
production. The VID block is a section of memory within the IC which includes items such as
octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, tire size and axle ratio.
Programming a Replacement PCM
A replacement PCM will display a label as shown. This indicates the need to retrieve VID data from
the original PCM before removing from the vehicle. Refer to the flash VID block update procedure.
After retrieving the VID data from the original PCM, install the new PCM. Select "Restore PCM
config. (1)" to download the stored data. If the original PCM is nonfunctional, it becomes necessary
to manually reprogram the VID block. The scan tool is used to perform this procedure and is done
through the "PCM Programming" selection as described by the flash EEPROM procedure below.
Follow screen instructions.
Flash EEPROM Procedure
When using the NGS to reprogram the entire IC contents, the NGS Flash kit will be used. The
Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) is used to download the new strategy with calibration onto
the NGS static RAM card (data transfer card). The card is part of the flash kit. Plug the NGS flash
cable into the underdash OBD II connector. Follow the NGS screen instructions under "PCM
Programming" or refer to the flash instruction manual provided in the kit. VID block information can
also be viewed and changed during this procedure.
Flash VID Block Procedure
When using the NGS scan tool, the Ford Service Function (FSF) card is used along with the NGS
flash cable. Plug the cable into the underdash OBD II connector. From the main menu, select
"Service Bay Functions", "PCM-Powertrain Control Module" and then "Programmable Module
Installation". The screen will now display two selections. The first is for old PCM information to be
retrieved and stored within the NGS. The second is for restoring the new PCM with information
which has been retrieved from the old PCM. Follow screen instructions or refer to the supplement
instruction sheet included with the Ford Service Function card. Next, either a transfer of data from
the old module to the new module or a manual update must be performed on the VID block. Follow
screen instructions or refer to the supplement instruction sheet included with the Ford Service
Function card. If the VID block has been reprogrammed previously, the scan tool will display a
message. This message will indicate the need to reflash the entire IC.
NOTE: If using a generic scan tool, follow the instruction manual provided by the tool manufacturer.

Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Purpose for Clearing Codes
Resetting Keep Alive RAM will return PCM memory to its default setting. Adaptive learning
contents such as idle and fuel trim are included. A PCM Reset is also part of a KAM Reset.
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.
A Keep Alive Random Access Memory Reset is done as follows:
During Key ON, Engine OFF with the scan tool, use the Reset Keep Alive Memory function. This is
found in the Active Command Modes menu on the New Generation Star scan tool.
If a generic scan tool is used, this function may not be supported. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's
instruction manual.
If an error message is received or the scan tool does not support this function, disconnecting the
battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes may be used as an alternative procedure.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM/KAM Reset)
All OBDII scan tools support the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) reset.
The 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 diagnostic monitoring test results.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
NOTE: When using the New Generation Star (NGS) Scan Tool to perform a PCM reset, press the
CLEAR button. This function is performed only after retrieval of continuous DTCs.
New Generation Star and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the scan tool manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM
reset.

Air Bag Control Module: Service Precautions
WARNING:
- To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be
depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near the front
or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and
hood latches.
- To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
- The tightening torque of the air bag restraint control module retaining bolts is critical for proper
system operation.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Restraint Systems > Air Bag Control Module >
Component Information > Specifications > Page 412
Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) performs the following functions:
- signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash.
- monitors the air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) for faults.
- illuminates the air bag indicator if a fault is detected.
- flashes the air bag indicator to indicate the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) detected.
- communicates through the Data Link Connector (DLC) the current or historical Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs).
- signals the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) to activate a chime if the air bag indicator is not
available and another SRS fault exists.
NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the RCM and is not repaired separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, the RCM will illuminate the air bag indicator located in the instrument cluster.
When the ignition is cycled (turned OFF and then ON), the air bag indicator will remain lit for six
seconds and then go out. If an SRS fault exists, the air bag indicator will then flash a two-digit lamp
fault code (LFC). The air bag indicator will flash the LFC five times, then it will remain illuminated
for the rest of the key cycle. The RCM will also communicate the current and historical DTCs
through the data link connector (DLC), using the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester. If the air bag
indicator does not function, and a system fault is detected, the RCM will signal the GEM to activate
the audible chime. The chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the
SRS and the air bag indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed first. After the fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be
displayed.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors determine that an air bag deployment is required. The backup power supply will
deplete its stored energy approximately 1 minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

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 Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor Field Effect Transistor (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 air suspension control module.
The compressor solid state relay is energized by the air suspension control module to have high
current flow from the battery to the compressor motor.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
NOTE: The 4WAS control module is also used for the RAS system. The internal processor
recognizes external circuitry to determine if it is installed in a 4WAS or a RAS system.
NOTE: The air suspension control module is calibrated with information from the air suspension
height sensors. A new or swapped air suspension control module requires the ride height
adjustment calibration process to be performed.
A microcontroller-based electronic air suspension control module controls the air compressor motor
(through a solid state relay) and all system solenoids. The air suspension control module also
provides power to front and rear height sensors. The air suspension control 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 Pedal Position (BPP)
switch. The air suspension control module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and
contains self-test and communication software for testing the vehicle and related components.
The air suspension control module is interchangeable between the RAS and 4WAS system.
The air suspension control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin two-way
connector. The air suspension control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an
incorrect harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the air suspension control
module. Each is uniquely colored and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

FORD: 1999 F-250 LD 1999-2001 EXPEDITION, F-150
LINCOLN: 1999-2001 NAVIGATOR
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit inadvertent 4X4 Hi or Low shift events, 4X4 and/or Low Range indicator
flashing or solid or vehicle stuck in 4L after uncommanded shift. This may be caused by the 4X4
shift motor.
ACTION
Install a YL1Z-7G360-AA shift motor on vehicles built before 12/99. The YL1Z-7G360-AA shift
motor with a grey contact plate cover replaces the prior design F75Z-7G360-AA motor with a blue
contact plate cover. Grey cover shift motors contain improved sense plate material and shift motor
terminal upgrade. For vehicles already equipped with the latest style shift motor, refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For overall description and operation of the Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case refer
to Section 308-07 of the appropriate model year Workshop Manual.
NOTE
ALL DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM SECTIONS HEREIN ARE WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT
VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST STYLE SHIFT MOTOR. ALWAYS
REPLACE SHIFT MOTOR AS A FIRST STEP IF CURRENT MOTOR IS PRIOR LEVEL WITH
BLUE COVER.
NOTE
TO RESET THE GEM'S 4X4 MONITORING SOFTWARE, USE CLEAR DTC COMMAND IN THE
NGS OR WOS TESTER (EVEN IF NO DTC'S ARE AVAILABLE) AND CYCLE IGNITION KEY
ON-OFF-ON. RECORD ANY CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES PRIOR TO CLEARING DTCs.

1. Parking Maneuvers/Gear Lever Transitions: Symptoms noted during a lower speed
uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Front end binding or hopping while turning
^ Bind feel in drivetrain when backing up and/or turning

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
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.
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, a new brake master cylinder
reservoir must be installed.

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

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

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
The A/C pressure cut-off switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high
system discharge pressures.
^ The A/C pressure cut-off switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the high pressure
side of the A/C manifold and tube.
^ A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C pressure cut-off switch, presses on
the Schrader valve stem.
^ This allows the A/C pressure cut-off switch to monitor the compressor discharge pressure.
^ When the compressor discharge pressure rises to approximately 2,896 kPa (420 psi), the switch
contacts open, disengaging the A/C compressor.
^ When the pressure drops to approximately 1724 kPa (250 psi) the contacts close to allow
operation of the A/C compressor.
^ It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant system to remove the A/C pressure cut-off switch.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the 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 152-193 kPa (22-28 psi).
^ The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324kPa (40-47 psi).
^ When the A/C cycling switch contacts close, the A/C clutch field coil is energized.
^ When the A/C cycling switch contacts open, the A/C clutch field coil is deenergized and
compressor operation stops.
^ The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
^ This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
^ It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.

Turn Signal Switch: Testing and Inspection
Flow of Diagnosis
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the multifunction or ignition switch.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. 3. If the concern remains
after the inspection, connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester to the Data Link Connector
(DLC) located beneath
the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the NGS menu. If the NGS does not
communicate with the vehicle: check that the program card is properly installed.
- check the connections to the vehicle.
- check the ignition switch position.
4. If NGS Tester still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the New Generation STAR
Tester manual. 5. Perform the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the NGS responds with:
- CKT9 14, CKT9 15 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, diagnose the Module
Communication Network.
- NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for GEM, go to Pinpoint Test A.See: Pinpoint Tests/Test A: No
Communication With The Module-GEM
- SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), erase
the continuous DTCs and perform self-test diagnostics for the GEM.
6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue
diagnostics.See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/GEM Diagnostic Trouble Code Index
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to Symptom Chart to continue
diagnostics.See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

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.

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
^ 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.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
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 >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 958
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.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 959
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

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

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 973
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

and Instructions > Page 974
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 975
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1007
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1008
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1009
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

ISSUE 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.

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.

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

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation
Two height sensors are mounted on the vehicle. The sensors send a voltage signal to the air
suspension 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 usable range of 80 mm (3 inch) compared to total
suspension travel of 200-250 mm (8-10 inch) 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 inch) of
travel at the height sensor. The front height sensor upper socket is attached to the frame bracket 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 indicates that the vehicle is lower than trim under normal driving
conditions, the air compressor will turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the
sensor indicates that the vehicle is raised above trim under normal driving conditions, this will
cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim height level.

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 Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1216
^ 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.

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.

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1223
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1224
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

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1225
^ 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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1226
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1229
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1230
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1231
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1232
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1233
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1234
^ 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 > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1304
^ 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.

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.
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1312
Alignment: Description and Operation
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.
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1313
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 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1314
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1315
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.

To increase caster and camber, use the following steps. 1
To increase caster, move the front of the front suspension upper arm outboard and move the rear
of the front suspension upper arm inboard.
2 To increase camber, move the front suspension upper arm outboard equally.
3. To decrease caster and camber, use the following steps.
1 To decrease caster, move the front of the front suspension upper arm inboard and move the rear
of the front suspension upper arm outboard.
2 To decrease camber, move the front suspension on upper arm inboard equally.
4. NOTE: Each increment of the notches on the frame pocket represents 0.3°.
Set the caster and camber to specifications. If a caster increase of 0.9° is required, move the front of the front suspension upper arm outboard
by 3 notches and move the rear of the front suspension upper arm inboard by 3 notches.

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.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of Super Premium SAE
5W30 Motor Oil, XO-5W30-QSP meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G on top of the pistons
in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Compression Check > System
Information > Specifications > Page 1370
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may
be leaking between cylinders. Engine oil 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.

Belt Tensioner
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.
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 drive 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. Make sure the (B) drive belt rides
correctly on the pulley. If a drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the following: Visually
check the drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad surface. If the drive belt
tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will be out of position This will result in
chirp and squeal noises. ^
With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. 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 the drive belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.
Drive Belt Noise/Flutter
NOTE: Tensioner is shown in free-state position against arm travel stops.
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview > Page 1382
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 under certain conditions: ^
If the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications: the A/C system is overcharged.
- the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
^ If the A/C OFF equalized pressure (the common discharge and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.
^ If any of the accessories are damaged, have a worn or damaged bearing, internal torsional
resistance above normal. All accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If
not, inspect the accessory.
^ If fluid gets on the drive belt. This includes power steering fluid, engine coolant, engine oil or air
conditioning system lubricant. If fluid does get on the drive belt during service, clean the drive belt
with soap and water and thoroughly rinse with clean water. The drive belt does not have to be
replaced if no apparent damage has occurred.
^ NOTE: The drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
^ If the drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the drive belt tensioner arm to go
all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will release tension to the
drive belt. If the drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the installation wear range window, replace
the drive belt.
^ If the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Hoses > Heater Hose > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Customer Interest for Heater Hose: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 1412
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.

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

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

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air
conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed
A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The condenser to evaporator tube contains high pressure liquid refrigerant upstream of the A/C
evaporator core orifice.
The A/C manifold and tube is attached to the A/C compressor with O-ring seals and has the
following features:
^ The upstream side contains low pressure refrigerant gas.
^ The downstream side contains high pressure refrigerant gas.
^ An integral non-serviceable muffler and a serviceable high pressure A/C charge port valve are
located on the downstream side.
^ The downstream side also contains a fitting used to mount the A/C pressure cut-off switch. A
long-travel Schrader-type valve stem core is installed in the fitting so that the A/C pressure cut-off
switch can be removed without recovering the A/C system.

ISSUE This TSB article describes Ford Motor Company's position on the use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
ACTION
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Coolant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 1510
Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with
propylene glycol. Although the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty is not automatically voided upon
the use of a coolant made with propylene glycol, if such use results in damage to the vehicle or its
components, the cost of repairing the damage would not be covered by the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
CAUTION: The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level indicator shows the fluid below the do
not drive mark or internal failure could result.
NOTE: If vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at highway speeds, city traffic,
hot weather, or pulling a trailer, the fluid needs to cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
NOTE: The fluid level reading on the indicator will differ from operating and ambient temperatures.
The correct reading should be within the normal operating temperature range.
Under normal circumstances, the fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the
transmission starts to slip, shift slowly, or has signs of fluid leaking, the fluid level should be
checked. 1. With the transmission in (P) PARK, the engine at idle, foot pressed on the brake, move
the range selector lever through each gear and allow
engagement of each gear. Place the range selector lever in the PARK position.
2. Wipe the fluid level indicator cap and remove the indicator. 3. Wipe the indicator with a clean
cloth.
4. Install the indicator back in the filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The
fluid level should be within the normal operating
temperature range.
HIGH FLUID LEVEL
A fluid level that is too high may cause the fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of
the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of fluid from the
vent tube and possible transmission malfunction and/or damage. If an overfill reading is indicated,
refer to Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill.
LOW FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level could result in poor transmission engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or
damage. This could also indicate a leak in one of the transmission seals or gaskets.
ADDING FLUID
CAUTION: The use of any other type of transmission fluid than specified could result in
transmission malfunction and/or damage.
If fluid needs to be added, add fluid in 0.25 L (1/2 pint) increments through the filler tube. Do not
overfill the fluid.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
1. Check the fluid level. 2. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances
should be dark reddish, not brown or black or have a burnt odor. 3. Hold the fluid level indicator
over a white facial tissue and allow the fluid to drip onto the facial tissue and examine the stain. 4. If
evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further
inspection. 5. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant in the transmission. The
engine cooling system should also be inspected at this time. 6. If fluid contamination or
transmission failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the fluid pan, the transmission
must be disassembled
and completely cleaned. This includes the torque converter, coolers, and cooler lines. Perform
diagnostic checks and adjustments; refer to the

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

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

A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1589
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1590
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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Circuit Breaker > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1628
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Circuit Breaker > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1629
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Circuit Breaker > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1630
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1650
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1651
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1652
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine's emission control system. This
is commonly known as the On Board Diagnostic System (OBD II). This OBD II system protects the
environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The
OBD II system also assists the service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.
The SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON
position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, on of the engine's emission
control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern
being noted. The vehicle will ususally be drivable and will not require towing.

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

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.

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 1732
^ 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 > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1738
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

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

Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1740
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.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1746
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1747
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1748
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1749
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1750
^ 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.

Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 1820
^ 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.

Technician Safety Information
Wheels: Technician Safety Information
WARNING: Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground, for example, when changing a tire.
The wheel resting on the ground could cause the vehicle to move.
WARNING: The tire and wheel must always be properly matched. It is very important to determine
the size of each component before any assembly operations commence. Do not mount a 16-inch
tire on a 16.5-inch wheel. Failure to adhere to these instructions can result in an explosive
separation and cause serious bodily injury or death. Do not mount a 16.5 inch tire on a 16 inch
wheel. The tire can come off without warning.
WARNING: Aftermarket aerosol tire sealants are extremely flammable. Always question the
customer to make sure these products have not been used.
WARNING: Use only wheels and lug nuts that have been designed for the correct model year Ford
trucks. Aftermarket wheels or lug nuts may not fit or function properly, and can cause personal
injury or damage the vehicle.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield when performing any work with tire and
wheel assemblies.

Wheels: Description and Operation
WARNING: Do not mix different types of tires such as radial, bias, or bias-belted, on the same
vehicle except in emergencies (temporary spare usage). Vehicle handling can be seriously affected
and can result in loss of control.
Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and
including full-rated load capacity when inflated to recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy
cornering, excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
Replacement tires should follow the recommended: tire sizes.
- speed rating.
- load range.
- radial construction type.
Use of any over tire size or type may seriously affect: ride.
- handling
- speedometer/odometer calibration.
- vehicle ground clearance.
- tire clearance between the body and chassis.
- wheel bearing life.
- brake cooling.
Wheels need to be replaced when: bent.
- dented.
- heavily rusted.
- leaking.
- they have elongated wheel hub bolt holes.
- they have excessive lateral or radial runout.
A two-piece lug nut is used, containing the nut and a washer.
Wheel and tire assemblies are attached by five noncentering lug nuts.
When balancing wheels and tires, use T-type balancing weights.
The spare tire is mounted under the frame. The valve stem should be on the top side of the tire to
reduce the possibility of accidental valve stem air leakage.
To equalize tire wear, rotate the tires periodically.

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 > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1846
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 1847
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 1848
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1854
^ 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 1855
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.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1856
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 > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1857
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1858
^ 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.

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.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Compression 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 the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as the
Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a minimum of 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 Test - Test Results
Part 1 Of 2
Part 2 Of 2
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.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of Super Premium SAE
5W30 Motor Oil, XO-5W30-QSP meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G on top of the pistons
in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Compression Check > System Information >
Specifications > Page 2005
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may
be leaking between cylinders. Engine oil 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.

ISSUE Some vehicles equipped with a 4.6L, 5.4L, or 6.8L engine may exhibit a rough idle/miss
after start-up in cold ambient temperatures (less than -12°C/10 ° F). This may be caused by a roller
finger follower(s) being dislodged from the valve. This may result in damage to the camshaft, roller
finger follower, valve, retainer, etc. A procedure is now available to service this condition.
ACTION Inspect and replace any worn or damaged engine valve components and install new
retaining clip and lash adjuster for service. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE Perform normal engine diagnostic routines before opening valve covers.
If the valve train is suspect, remove the valve covers and look for Roller Finger Follower(s) (RFF)
that may have become dislodged.
1. Inspect the following parts that may have been damaged by any dislodged roller finger followers:
^ Cam lobes (chipped or grooved)
^ Valve stem tips (mushroomed, metal displaced, or bent)
^ Roller finger followers (chipped or grooved)
^ Inspect valve guide only if its corresponding RFF or valve stem tip is damaged.
Replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. If follower(s) are damaged, replaced as necessary, otherwise re-use followers in same location
as removed from head.

Drive Belt: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Belt Tensioner
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.
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 drive 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. Make sure the (B) drive belt rides
correctly on the pulley. If a drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the following: Visually
check the drive belt tensioner for damage, especially the mounting pad surface. If the drive belt
tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting surface pad will be out of position This will result in
chirp and squeal noises. ^
With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. 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 the drive belt tracking.
^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.
Drive Belt Noise/Flutter
NOTE: Tensioner is shown in free-state position against arm travel stops.

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 2185
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 under certain conditions: ^
If the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications: the A/C system is overcharged.
- the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
^ If the A/C OFF equalized pressure (the common discharge and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.
^ If any of the accessories are damaged, have a worn or damaged bearing, internal torsional
resistance above normal. All accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If
not, inspect the accessory.
^ If fluid gets on the drive belt. This includes power steering fluid, engine coolant, engine oil or air
conditioning system lubricant. If fluid does get on the drive belt during service, clean the drive belt
with soap and water and thoroughly rinse with clean water. The drive belt does not have to be
replaced if no apparent damage has occurred.
^ NOTE: The drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.
^ If the drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the drive belt tensioner arm to go
all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will release tension to the
drive belt. If the drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the installation wear range window, replace
the drive belt.
^ 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.

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.

Procedure > Page 2202
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.

Procedure > Page 2203
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.
Dollar bill or 3x5 Card

Procedure > Page 2206
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
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 2210
^ 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 2211
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.

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 2213
^ 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 > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >
Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2214
^ 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.

Procedure > Page 2284
^ 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.

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.
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 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.

Engine Oil: Service Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
- Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
- Do not put oily rags in pockets.
- Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
- Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly.
- First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
- Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin.
- Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help).
Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
- Do not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinner or solvents for cleaning skin.
- If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
- Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
- Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical
goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.

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

ISSUE On some vehicles there may be an oil leak from the right hand head gasket at the rear of
the block/head joint. This may be caused by metal chip debris lodged between the head gasket
and the block.
ACTION Verify oil leak. Inspect for metal chips, impressions or dimples in the metal at the right
bank cylinder head and block deck areas behind cylinder 4 at the area of the cast triangular recess
in the cylinder head deck. Also inspect around the oil hole breakout in the block deck. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the origin of the oil seep by adding fluorescent dye to the oil. Run the engine for 10
minutes and shut down. Start the engine after a 2 hour soak and run the engine for 10 minutes.
Inspect the rear of the right hand cylinder head to block joint with an ultra-violet light ("black light")
for oil stains and drips.
2. If the oil seep has been established as coming from the cylinder head to block joint, remove the
cylinder head and head gasket per the Workshop Manual.
3. Clean both the block and cylinder head decks of residual gasket coating with Motorcraft Metal
Surface Cleaner F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent.
NOTE
DO NOT USE A METAL TOOL OF ANY KIND ON THE GASKET SEALING SURFACE.

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

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

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.

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 On some vehicles there may be an oil leak from the right hand head gasket at the rear of
the block/head joint. This may be caused by metal chip debris lodged between the head gasket
and the block.
ACTION Verify oil leak. Inspect for metal chips, impressions or dimples in the metal at the right
bank cylinder head and block deck areas behind cylinder 4 at the area of the cast triangular recess
in the cylinder head deck. Also inspect around the oil hole breakout in the block deck. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the origin of the oil seep by adding fluorescent dye to the oil. Run the engine for 10
minutes and shut down. Start the engine after a 2 hour soak and run the engine for 10 minutes.
Inspect the rear of the right hand cylinder head to block joint with an ultra-violet light ("black light")
for oil stains and drips.
2. If the oil seep has been established as coming from the cylinder head to block joint, remove the
cylinder head and head gasket per the Workshop Manual.
3. Clean both the block and cylinder head decks of residual gasket coating with Motorcraft Metal
Surface Cleaner F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent.
NOTE
DO NOT USE A METAL TOOL OF ANY KIND ON THE GASKET SEALING SURFACE.

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

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.

3. Inspect the spark plugs for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Clean the spark plug.
4. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.

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

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Compression 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 the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position. 3. Install a compression gauge such as the
Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit.
With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank
the engine a minimum of 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.

Part 2 Of 2
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.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of Super Premium SAE
5W30 Motor Oil, XO-5W30-QSP meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G on top of the pistons
in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks >
Compression Check > System Information > Specifications > Page 2561
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty. 2. If compression does not
improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may
be leaking between cylinders. Engine oil 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.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 2574
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.

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
PROMOTE THE ELECTROLOSIS, OR ANY STRAY VOLTAGE TO USE THE COOLANT AS THE
GROUND PATH.

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS AND DANGEROUS. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE VEHICLE IN A CLOSED AREA SUCH AS
A GARAGE, ALWAYS USE AN EXHAUST COLLECTOR TO VENT THE EXHAUST GASES
OUTSIDE THE CLOSED AREA. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater water hose to heater core attachments. A
coolant leak in the heater water hose could follow
the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in the heater core.
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and did not require installation of a new heater core. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater
core must be tested by following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core
pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:
2. Check the integrity of the heater water hose clamps.
NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specification clamps can cause leakage at the heater water hose connection and damage the

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

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicles affected and to update the
Service Procedure.
ISSUE Transmission fluid may leak between the radiator transmission oil cooler and the
transmission oil cooler fitting (NOT the cooler line into the fitting), which may result in a residue of
transmission fluid on the radiator tank around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This may be
caused by insufficient thread sealer on the transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: THIS TSB DOES NOT APPLY TO TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE AT THE
TRANSMISSION LINE TO TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
ACTION Install O-ring W705181-S onto the transmission oil cooler fitting. The O-ring is designed to
seal the leak and reduce the possibility of transmission fluid leakage. Refer to the following Service
Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify that transmission fluid is leaking between the transmission oil cooler and the transmission
oil cooler fitting (NOT the transmission cooler
line fitting into the transmission oil cooler fitting). Refer to Figure 1.

2. Remove the radiator from the vehicle following Workshop Manual procedure. Place the radiator
on a flat surface so that the transmission oil
cooler fittings are facing upward. Refer to Figure 2.
3. Clean the area around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This will insure that contaminants do not
enter the transmission oil cooler when the
transmission oil cooler fittings are removed.
CAUTION: OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS SHOULD NOT BE USED WHEN
CLEANING THE RADIATOR. OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS CAN DAMAGE THE
RADIATOR END TANK SEALS AND CAUSE LEAKS.
4. Remove the upper transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: REMOVE ONLY ONE (1) TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING AT A TIME,
OTHERWISE THE COOLER MAY DROP INTO THE RADIATOR.
5. Once the fitting is removed from the transmission oil cooler, verify that there is a gasket between
the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the
radiator tank. If there is no gasket, replace the radiator. If the gasket is in place, continue to Step 6.
6. Inspect the transmission oil cooler fitting threads for damage. If the threads are damaged,
replace the radiator. If the threads show no sign of
damage, continue to Step 7.

7. Install O-ring W705181-S on the transmission oil cooler fitting. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
CAUTION: THREAD SEALANT OR TAPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON THE THREADS OF
THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING. THE USE OF SUCH MATERIALS WILL CREATE
A LEAK PATH.
8. Making sure that the gasket between the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the radiator
tank is still in place, reinstall the transmission oil
cooler fitting. The fitting should be torqued to 38-45 N.m (28-33 lb-ft).
NOTE:: DO NOT USE AIR TOOLS TO TORQUE THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
USE A HAND-OPERATED TORQUE WRENCH ONLY.
9. Repeat Steps 2-8 for the other transmission oil cooler fitting. This fitting should also have the
O-ring replaced even if it is not leaking.
10. Make sure that no radiator coolant has entered the transmission oil cooler. Reinstall the
radiator in the vehicle following Workshop Manual
procedure.
11. Verify that both the transmission and the engine cooling system have the proper fluid levels
outlined in the Workshop Manual.

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

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

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

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

> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2771
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.

> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2772
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2773
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
Some vehicles may exhibit an inoperative or inaccurate speedometer, 4x4 lamp illuminated, and/or
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) P1635 or P1639 present after a Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) or Instrument Cluster replacement. This may be caused by the Vehicle Identification (VID)
block that must be programmed when replacing the PCM.
ACTION
As part of the calibration, there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM. Failure to perform the proper
Programmable Module Installation procedure may generate fault code: P1639 VID Block not
programmed or is corrupt--P1635 Tire/Axle Out Of Acceptable Range. Refer to the following
procedures to ensure the PCM is properly configured.

Service Procedure
NGS Procedure "A" will prevent P1639/P1635 from setting. In the event either code is set, use one
of the following NGS Procedures "B" or "C" or WDS Procedure "D" to ensure the PCM is properly
configured.
NOTE
THE FOLLOWING NGS PROCEDURES MUST BE PERFORMED USING THE NGS FLASH
CABLE.
Procedure A - NGS PREFERRED Method To Prevent P1635/P1639
1. With the original PCM installed and using the NGS service card, select "Programmable Module
Installation".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Retrieve Module Config-Old ECU".
4. After the Module data has been stored, install the new PCM, press CANCEL to return to the
menu and select "Restore Module Config-New ECU".
This procedure will retrieve the VID data from the original PCM and store it into the new PCM. If the
original PCM will not communicate, install the new PCM and start the procedure over at Step 1. If
the new PCM VID is blank, the NGS will direct you to contact the As-Built Data center during Step
a above. Obtain As-Built Data from the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website and
manually enter the PCM data from the As-Built Data sheet as the NGS asks for it. After the data
has been entered, continue to Step 4 above.
Procedure B - NGS Alternative Method
1. Using NGS service card, select "Service Bay Functions".
2. Select PCM from the module list.
3. Select "Module Configuration".
4. Select "94-02 EECV & PTEC-By TSB".
5. Cycle ignition as directed by NGS.
6. Once the PCM initializes and the warning screen is displayed, Tire size/Axle, etc. can then be
updated.
Procedure C - If the VID block is not correctly programmed - but has some data stored in it, the
NGS Service Function Card may not be able to configure the PCM due to the need to reprogram
the module
1. Create an NGS Flash Card with the correct calibration (Tear Tag).
2. Start the reprogramming process. (you will be notified that the vehicle already has the latest
calibration).
3. Select CANCEL - you will be given the opportunity to update PCM parameters (Vehicle ID block
data).
4. Update the Vehicle ID block data and, it necessary, the NGS will continue to reflash the module.
Procedure D - WDS Procedure if proper Programmable Module Installation was not performed and
P1639/P1635 is set
Using WDS with B11 or later software and ignition in OFF position:
1. Connect WDS DLC cable to vehicle OBD II connector (lower center of dash).
2. Select "16 PIN", select "All others, except those below", press TICK.

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.

Vehicle > Page 2863
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.

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.

Vehicle > Page 2875
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.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2886
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

Information and Instructions > Page 2887
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2888
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Procedures
Engine Control Module: Procedures
Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is contained in an Integrated Circuit
(IC) internally to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy as well as any calibration
information specific to the vehicle.
The IC is reprogrammable and at times it may become necessary to reprogram or reflash the entire
contents. This is usually due to either an after production strategy change or the Vehicle
Identification (VID) area has been previously reprogrammed and has reached its limit. The VID
block area can be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since
production. The VID block is a section of memory within the IC which includes items such as
octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, tire size and axle ratio.
Programming a Replacement PCM
A replacement PCM will display a label as shown. This indicates the need to retrieve VID data from
the original PCM before removing from the vehicle. Refer to the flash VID block update procedure.
After retrieving the VID data from the original PCM, install the new PCM. Select "Restore PCM
config. (1)" to download the stored data. If the original PCM is nonfunctional, it becomes necessary
to manually reprogram the VID block. The scan tool is used to perform this procedure and is done
through the "PCM Programming" selection as described by the flash EEPROM procedure below.
Follow screen instructions.
Flash EEPROM Procedure
When using the NGS to reprogram the entire IC contents, the NGS Flash kit will be used. The
Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) is used to download the new strategy with calibration onto
the NGS static RAM card (data transfer card). The card is part of the flash kit. Plug the NGS flash
cable into the underdash OBD II connector. Follow the NGS screen instructions under "PCM
Programming" or refer to the flash instruction manual provided in the kit. VID block information can
also be viewed and changed during this procedure.
Flash VID Block Procedure
When using the NGS scan tool, the Ford Service Function (FSF) card is used along with the NGS
flash cable. Plug the cable into the underdash OBD II connector. From the main menu, select
"Service Bay Functions", "PCM-Powertrain Control Module" and then "Programmable Module
Installation". The screen will now display two selections. The first is for old PCM information to be
retrieved and stored within the NGS. The second is for restoring the new PCM with information
which has been retrieved from the old PCM. Follow screen instructions or refer to the supplement
instruction sheet included with the Ford Service Function card. Next, either a transfer of data from
the old module to the new module or a manual update must be performed on the VID block. Follow
screen instructions or refer to the supplement instruction sheet included with the Ford Service
Function card. If the VID block has been reprogrammed previously, the scan tool will display a
message. This message will indicate the need to reflash the entire IC.
NOTE: If using a generic scan tool, follow the instruction manual provided by the tool manufacturer.

Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Purpose for Clearing Codes
Resetting Keep Alive RAM will return PCM memory to its default setting. Adaptive learning
contents such as idle and fuel trim are included. A PCM Reset is also part of a KAM Reset.
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.
A Keep Alive Random Access Memory Reset is done as follows:
During Key ON, Engine OFF with the scan tool, use the Reset Keep Alive Memory function. This is
found in the Active Command Modes menu on the New Generation Star scan tool.
If a generic scan tool is used, this function may not be supported. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's
instruction manual.
If an error message is received or the scan tool does not support this function, disconnecting the
battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes may be used as an alternative procedure.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM/KAM Reset)
All OBDII scan tools support the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) reset.
The 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 diagnostic monitoring test results.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
NOTE: When using the New Generation Star (NGS) Scan Tool to perform a PCM reset, press the
CLEAR button. This function is performed only after retrieval of continuous DTCs.
New Generation Star and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the scan tool manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM
reset.

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

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
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

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

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

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

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

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

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2991
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 2992
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.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 3007
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 3008
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 3009
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground

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.

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

improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly. 3. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low
compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not increase compression, the head
gasket may
be leaking between cylinders. Engine oil 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.

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
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.
4. Immediately install plug into the transmission case casting smoothing out any overflow that may
occur during installation.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3234
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3235
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3236
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3297
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

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

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Engine Control Module: Procedures
Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is contained in an Integrated Circuit
(IC) internally to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy as well as any calibration
information specific to the vehicle.
The IC is reprogrammable and at times it may become necessary to reprogram or reflash the entire
contents. This is usually due to either an after production strategy change or the Vehicle
Identification (VID) area has been previously reprogrammed and has reached its limit. The VID
block area can be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since
production. The VID block is a section of memory within the IC which includes items such as
octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, tire size and axle ratio.
Programming a Replacement PCM
A replacement PCM will display a label as shown. This indicates the need to retrieve VID data from
the original PCM before removing from the vehicle. Refer to the flash VID block update procedure.
After retrieving the VID data from the original PCM, install the new PCM. Select "Restore PCM
config. (1)" to download the stored data. If the original PCM is nonfunctional, it becomes necessary
to manually reprogram the VID block. The scan tool is used to perform this procedure and is done
through the "PCM Programming" selection as described by the flash EEPROM procedure below.
Follow screen instructions.
Flash EEPROM Procedure
When using the NGS to reprogram the entire IC contents, the NGS Flash kit will be used. The
Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) is used to download the new strategy with calibration onto
the NGS static RAM card (data transfer card). The card is part of the flash kit. Plug the NGS flash
cable into the underdash OBD II connector. Follow the NGS screen instructions under "PCM
Programming" or refer to the flash instruction manual provided in the kit. VID block information can
also be viewed and changed during this procedure.
Flash VID Block Procedure
When using the NGS scan tool, the Ford Service Function (FSF) card is used along with the NGS
flash cable. Plug the cable into the underdash OBD II connector. From the main menu, select
"Service Bay Functions", "PCM-Powertrain Control Module" and then "Programmable Module
Installation". The screen will now display two selections. The first is for old PCM information to be
retrieved and stored within the NGS. The second is for restoring the new PCM with information
which has been retrieved from the old PCM. Follow screen instructions or refer to the supplement
instruction sheet included with the Ford Service Function card. Next, either a transfer of data from
the old module to the new module or a manual update must be performed on the VID block. Follow
screen instructions or refer to the supplement instruction sheet included with the Ford Service
Function card. If the VID block has been reprogrammed previously, the scan tool will display a
message. This message will indicate the need to reflash the entire IC.
NOTE: If using a generic scan tool, follow the instruction manual provided by the tool manufacturer.

Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Purpose for Clearing Codes
Resetting Keep Alive RAM will return PCM memory to its default setting. Adaptive learning
contents such as idle and fuel trim are included. A PCM Reset is also part of a KAM Reset.
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.
A Keep Alive Random Access Memory Reset is done as follows:
During Key ON, Engine OFF with the scan tool, use the Reset Keep Alive Memory function. This is
found in the Active Command Modes menu on the New Generation Star scan tool.
If a generic scan tool is used, this function may not be supported. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's
instruction manual.
If an error message is received or the scan tool does not support this function, disconnecting the
battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes may be used as an alternative procedure.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM/KAM Reset)
All OBDII scan tools support the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) reset.
The 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 diagnostic monitoring test results.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
NOTE: When using the New Generation Star (NGS) Scan Tool to perform a PCM reset, press the
CLEAR button. This function is performed only after retrieval of continuous DTCs.
New Generation Star and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the scan tool manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM
reset.

Circuit 915 [PK/LB]) and the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9141 communications
network, which is single-wire network (Circuit 70 [LB/W]). Both networks can be connected to New
Generation STAR (NGS) Tester through one connector called the Data Link Connector (DLC). This
makes diagnosing these systems easier by allowing one smart tester to be able to diagnose and
test any module on the

Tester communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, NGS Tester must ask
for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.
The SCP network will remain operational even with the severing of one of the bus wires.
Communications will also continue if one of the bus wires is shorted to ground or battery positive
voltage (B+), or if some, but not all, termination resistors are lost. The PCM is the only module that
contains termination resistors.
Unlike the SCP network, the ISO 9141 communication network will not function if the network is
shorted to ground or battery positive voltage (B +). Also, if one of the modules on the ISO 9141
communication network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will fail.
The PCM is on the SCP communication network. The PCM controls the engine for better fuel
economy, emissions control and failure mode detection and storage.
The Restraint Control Module (RCM) is on the ISO 9141 communication network. The RCM
controls the deployment of the air bags based on sensor input.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) module is on the SCP communication
network. The EATC module controls automatic climate functions that maintain the vehicle cabin
temperature at a constant setting.
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) is on the ISO 9141 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) module is on the ISO 9141 communication network. The
RAP module controls the remote entry, interior lamp illumination signal to the GEM and panic alarm
from the keyless entry remote. The anti-lock brake control module is on the ISO 9141
communication network. The module controls brake pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle
under control while braking.
The following describes the rear- and four-wheel air suspension modules:
The air suspension control module is on the ISO 9141 communication network and 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 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 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 instrument cluster is on the SCP communication network. The instrument cluster is also called
a Hybrid Electronic Cluster (HEC). It is an analog face cluster with a digital odometer. The
instrument cluster displays a variety of information. The instrument cluster now includes the
Passive Anti-theft System (PATS) software internally.

B. HO2S Location Diagrams
Refer to Figure 1 to better understand the H025 sensor names and locations. Regardless of how
the engine is mounted in the vehicle, conventional or transverse, the HO2S naming convention
stays the same in relationship to engine banks 1 and 2. Bank 1 will always be the bank containing
the # 1 cylinder.
C. Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor
C1.) Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Monitor - Information
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3399
The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

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

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

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3408
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3409
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3410
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3411
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

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

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

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3426
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3427
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

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

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.

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.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules - Computers
and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3490
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3491
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3492
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Engine Control Module: Procedures
Flash Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is contained in an Integrated Circuit
(IC) internally to the PCM. The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy as well as any calibration
information specific to the vehicle.
The IC is reprogrammable and at times it may become necessary to reprogram or reflash the entire
contents. This is usually due to either an after production strategy change or the Vehicle
Identification (VID) area has been previously reprogrammed and has reached its limit. The VID
block area can be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made to the vehicle since
production. The VID block is a section of memory within the IC which includes items such as
octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, tire size and axle ratio.
Programming a Replacement PCM
A replacement PCM will display a label as shown. This indicates the need to retrieve VID data from
the original PCM before removing from the vehicle. Refer to the flash VID block update procedure.
After retrieving the VID data from the original PCM, install the new PCM. Select "Restore PCM
config. (1)" to download the stored data. If the original PCM is nonfunctional, it becomes necessary
to manually reprogram the VID block. The scan tool is used to perform this procedure and is done
through the "PCM Programming" selection as described by the flash EEPROM procedure below.
Follow screen instructions.
Flash EEPROM Procedure
When using the NGS to reprogram the entire IC contents, the NGS Flash kit will be used. The
Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) is used to download the new strategy with calibration onto
the NGS static RAM card (data transfer card). The card is part of the flash kit. Plug the NGS flash
cable into the underdash OBD II connector. Follow the NGS screen instructions under "PCM
Programming" or refer to the flash instruction manual provided in the kit. VID block information can
also be viewed and changed during this procedure.
Flash VID Block Procedure
When using the NGS scan tool, the Ford Service Function (FSF) card is used along with the NGS
flash cable. Plug the cable into the underdash OBD II connector. From the main menu, select
"Service Bay Functions", "PCM-Powertrain Control Module" and then "Programmable Module
Installation". The screen will now display two selections. The first is for old PCM information to be
retrieved and stored within the NGS. The second is for restoring the new PCM with information
which has been retrieved from the old PCM. Follow screen instructions or refer to the supplement
instruction sheet included with the Ford Service Function card. Next, either a transfer of data from
the old module to the new module or a manual update must be performed on the VID block. Follow
screen instructions or refer to the supplement instruction sheet included with the Ford Service
Function card. If the VID block has been reprogrammed previously, the scan tool will display a
message. This message will indicate the need to reflash the entire IC.
NOTE: If using a generic scan tool, follow the instruction manual provided by the tool manufacturer.

Engine Control Module: Reset Procedure
Purpose for Clearing Codes
Resetting Keep Alive RAM will return PCM memory to its default setting. Adaptive learning
contents such as idle and fuel trim are included. A PCM Reset is also part of a KAM Reset.
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.
A Keep Alive Random Access Memory Reset is done as follows:
During Key ON, Engine OFF with the scan tool, use the Reset Keep Alive Memory function. This is
found in the Active Command Modes menu on the New Generation Star scan tool.
If a generic scan tool is used, this function may not be supported. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's
instruction manual.
If an error message is received or the scan tool does not support this function, disconnecting the
battery ground cable for a minimum of 5 minutes may be used as an alternative procedure.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM/KAM Reset)
All OBDII scan tools support the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) reset.
The 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 diagnostic monitoring test results.
- Resets status of the OBD II system monitors.
- Sets DTC P1000.
NOTE: When using the New Generation Star (NGS) Scan Tool to perform a PCM reset, press the
CLEAR button. This function is performed only after retrieval of continuous DTCs.
New Generation Star and Generic Scan Tool
Refer to the scan tool manufacturer's manual for specific instructions on how to perform PCM
reset.

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 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:

Other Service Bulletins for Air Flow Meter/Sensor: > 03-14-8 > Jul > 03 > A/T - Cooler Flushing Service Tips > Page 3534
^ 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

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicles affected and to update the
Service Procedure.
ISSUE Transmission fluid may leak between the radiator transmission oil cooler and the
transmission oil cooler fitting (NOT the cooler line into the fitting), which may result in a residue of
transmission fluid on the radiator tank around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This may be
caused by insufficient thread sealer on the transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: THIS TSB DOES NOT APPLY TO TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE AT THE
TRANSMISSION LINE TO TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
ACTION Install O-ring W705181-S onto the transmission oil cooler fitting. The O-ring is designed to
seal the leak and reduce the possibility of transmission fluid leakage. Refer to the following Service
Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify that transmission fluid is leaking between the transmission oil cooler and the transmission
oil cooler fitting (NOT the transmission cooler
line fitting into the transmission oil cooler fitting). Refer to Figure 1.

Other Service Bulletins for Air Flow Meter/Sensor: > 00-9-1 > May > 00 > A/T Cooler - Fluid Leaks at Radiator > Page 3540
2. Remove the radiator from the vehicle following Workshop Manual procedure. Place the radiator
on a flat surface so that the transmission oil
cooler fittings are facing upward. Refer to Figure 2.
3. Clean the area around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This will insure that contaminants do not
enter the transmission oil cooler when the
transmission oil cooler fittings are removed.
CAUTION: OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS SHOULD NOT BE USED WHEN
CLEANING THE RADIATOR. OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS CAN DAMAGE THE
RADIATOR END TANK SEALS AND CAUSE LEAKS.
4. Remove the upper transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: REMOVE ONLY ONE (1) TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING AT A TIME,
OTHERWISE THE COOLER MAY DROP INTO THE RADIATOR.
5. Once the fitting is removed from the transmission oil cooler, verify that there is a gasket between
the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the
radiator tank. If there is no gasket, replace the radiator. If the gasket is in place, continue to Step 6.
6. Inspect the transmission oil cooler fitting threads for damage. If the threads are damaged,
replace the radiator. If the threads show no sign of
damage, continue to Step 7.

7. Install O-ring W705181-S on the transmission oil cooler fitting. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
CAUTION: THREAD SEALANT OR TAPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON THE THREADS OF
THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING. THE USE OF SUCH MATERIALS WILL CREATE
A LEAK PATH.
8. Making sure that the gasket between the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the radiator
tank is still in place, reinstall the transmission oil
cooler fitting. The fitting should be torqued to 38-45 N.m (28-33 lb-ft).
NOTE:: DO NOT USE AIR TOOLS TO TORQUE THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
USE A HAND-OPERATED TORQUE WRENCH ONLY.
9. Repeat Steps 2-8 for the other transmission oil cooler fitting. This fitting should also have the
O-ring replaced even if it is not leaking.

^ 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.

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

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

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

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

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

CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3602
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3603
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 3604
F4.) Tips Related to the Fuel System Monitor
1. HO2S sensors are not likely to be the cause of adaptive DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175:
Most warranty-returned HO2S sensors (replaced for these DTCs) are found to function normally.
Additional related DTCs will normally be present if there is a concern with the HO2S sensors. Do
not replace an HO2S sensor unless verified through pinpoint diagnostic tests found in the PC/ED
Service Manual.
2. DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, and P0175 are not related to downstream H028 sensors: When
diagnosing a vehicle with a MIL On and DTC(s) P0171, P0172, P0174, and/or P0175 in continuous
memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors. These DTCs have no connection to the
downstream HO2S sensor function nor its diagnosis for faults. Always verify the vehicle concern,
then perform the pinpoint diagnostics from the appropriate PC/ED Service Manual.
3. Diagnosing lean conditions and lean DTCs P0171, P0174: Freeze Frame Data can often help to
identify the type of lean condition, even if the fault is intermittent, by indicating how the vehicle was
being driven when the fault occurred. Diagnosis of lean conditions and lean adaptive DTCs can be
difficult, especially if the concern is intermittent. Verifying the concern is extremely important. There
are different types of lean conditions. The ability to identify the type of lean condition causing the
concern can be crucial to a correct diagnosis. When DTCs P0171 and P0174 are both present,
there is a strong likelihood of another concern being present:
a. Vacuum leaks/unmetered air: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the
condition. This condition is typically caused by air entering the engine through an abnormal source
(opening), or due to a MAF malfunction. In this situation, the volume of air entering the engine is
actually greater than what the MAF is indicating to the PCM. Vacuum leaks will normally be most
apparent when high manifold vacuum is present, during idle or light throttle. If Freeze Frame Data
indicates that the fault occurred at idle, a check for vacuum leaks/unmetered air when the engine is
cold might be the best starting point.
Examples: Loose, leaking or disconnected vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets or 0-rings,
throttle body gaskets, brake booster, air inlet tube, stuck/frozen/aftermarket PCV valve, unseated
engine oil dipstick, MAF reading lower than normal, etc.
b. Insufficient fueling: In this type of condition, the engine may actually run lean of stoichiometry
(14.7:1 air/fuel ratio) if the PCM is not able to compensate enough to correct for the condition. This
condition is typically caused by a fuel delivery system concern that restricts or limits the amount of
fuel being delivered to the engine. This condition will normally be most apparent when the engine is
under a heavy load, when a higher volume of fuel is required. If Freeze Frame Data indicates that
the fault occurred under a heavy load, a check of the fuel delivery system (checking fuel pressure
with engine under a load) might be the best starting point.
Examples: Low fuel pressure (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel leaks, restricted fuel supply lines), fuel
injector concerns, etc.
c. Exhaust system leaks: In this type of condition, the engine may actually be running near
stoichiometry (14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), but the exhaust gas mixture will be lean. This condition is
caused by oxygen-rich air entering the exhaust system through an external source. This condition
will cause the exhaust gas mixture to be lean, even though the actual combustion in the engine
may not be.
Examples: Exhaust system leaks upstream or near HO2S, malfunctioning Secondary Air Injection
system
d. MAF concerns: If a MAF concern is suspected, see TSB 98-23-10.
4. Checking fuel pressure: Check fuel pressure with engine under a load when diagnosing a lean
concern. A partially plugged fuel filter can be difficult to detect and can be easily overlooked if fuel
pressure is only checked at idle. The same is true for other types of fuel supply concerns (e.g., bent
or kinked lines, degraded fuel pump).
At idle, an engine requires only a small volume of fuel. Due to the fact that there is a small volume
of fuel needed at idle, a restriction in the fuel supply line in many cases will not cause the fuel
pressure to be low. When the vehicle is under a load, the engine requires much more fuel than at
idle. Under a load, a restriction in the fuel supply line will prevent the high rate of fuel flow that is
needed to maintain the correct fuel pressure.

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

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

Instructions > Page 3619
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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

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

A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.

the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the

- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3681
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

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

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3683
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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

The 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 Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3704
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3705
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Emissions/Engine Controls - Driveability Diagnosis > Page 3706
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
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 Positive Crankcase Ventilation (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 revised PCV service parts, PCV valve YC2Z-6K773-AA, and hose, YL3Z-8A505-BA.
To Install The Heated PCV Valve, Use The Following Procedure:
1. Partially drain off enough coolant into a clean, suitable container to allow hose disassembly at
the top of the engine, approximately 3.8L - 7.5L (1-2 gallons) and save coolant.
2. Remove the PCV valve by disconnecting the vent hose and removing the valve from the valve
cover grommet. Ensure the area is clean to prevent dirt entry into engine.
3. Install the new, heated PCV valve in the valve cover grommet.

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 Positive Crankcase Ventilation (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 revised PCV service parts, PCV valve YC2Z-6K773-AA, and hose, YL3Z-8A505-BA.
To Install The Heated PCV Valve, Use The Following Procedure:
1. Partially drain off enough coolant into a clean, suitable container to allow hose disassembly at
the top of the engine, approximately 3.8L - 7.5L (1-2 gallons) and save coolant.
2. Remove the PCV valve by disconnecting the vent hose and removing the valve from the valve
cover grommet. Ensure the area is clean to prevent dirt entry into engine.
3. Install the new, heated PCV valve in the valve cover grommet.

4. Disconnect the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor coolant supply hose from the throttle
body (Figure 1).
5. Reconnect the ECT Sensor coolant supply hose to PCV valve heated fitting (use nipple that
points nearly horizontal, Figure 2).
6. Install and connect the new hose from the heated PCV valve fitting (points nearly upward, Figure

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3833
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3834
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3835
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Accelerator Pedal: Description and Operation
The throttle is controlled by an accelerator cable attached to the accelerator pedal and shaft
assembly. The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from the idle position to the wide
open throttle position. Hesitation or binding should not be experienced at any portion of the
accelerator pedal and shaft travel. Surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulator
and floor carpet must not contact the sliding inner member of the accelerator cable, or interfere with
the accelerator pedal and shaft.
The vehicle is also available with an adjustable pedals option. This allows both the accelerator and
brake pedals to be adjusted simultaneously forward or rearward. A rocker switch on the instrument
panel provides adjustment on the pedals assembly when it is activated. On vehicles with the
memory seat option, the pedals position can be controlled by the memory selection, as well as the
rocker switch. The accelerator pedal and shaft can still be serviced separately on the adjustable
pedals assembly. The components in the acceleration control system are not adjustable and must
be replaced if damaged or worn.

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 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 3887
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.

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

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.

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.

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 Other Service Bulletins for Fuel Filler Cap: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 3917
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.

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

Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles. The fuel line assemblies may have been damaged by the
supplier during manufacturing, allowing leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source
can result in a fire. Dealers will inspect these vehicles and, if necessary, replace the front and rear
fuel line assemblies. Owner notification is expected to begin January 3, 1999. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Service Bulletins for Air Flow Meter/Sensor: > 98-23-10 > Nov > 98 > Engine - Lean Driveability Symptoms > Page 4189
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
Some vehicles may exhibit inadvertent 4X4 Hi or Low shift events, 4X4 and/or Low Range indicator
flashing or solid or vehicle stuck in 4L after uncommanded shift. This may be caused by the 4X4
shift motor.
ACTION
Install a YL1Z-7G360-AA shift motor on vehicles built before 12/99. The YL1Z-7G360-AA shift
motor with a grey contact plate cover replaces the prior design F75Z-7G360-AA motor with a blue
contact plate cover. Grey cover shift motors contain improved sense plate material and shift motor
terminal upgrade. For vehicles already equipped with the latest style shift motor, refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For overall description and operation of the Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case refer
to Section 308-07 of the appropriate model year Workshop Manual.
NOTE
ALL DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM SECTIONS HEREIN ARE WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT
VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST STYLE SHIFT MOTOR. ALWAYS
REPLACE SHIFT MOTOR AS A FIRST STEP IF CURRENT MOTOR IS PRIOR LEVEL WITH
BLUE COVER.
NOTE
TO RESET THE GEM'S 4X4 MONITORING SOFTWARE, USE CLEAR DTC COMMAND IN THE
NGS OR WOS TESTER (EVEN IF NO DTC'S ARE AVAILABLE) AND CYCLE IGNITION KEY

^ Front end binding or hopping while turning
^ Bind feel in drivetrain when backing up and/or turning

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

DISCONNECTING CIRCUIT 779 (BROWN) AT MAGNETIC CLUTCH COIL ALLOWS
MONITORING SPEED SENSORS WITHOUT CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT INTERFERENCE, AND
WILL NOT SET ANY DTCs OR AFFECT DRIVEABILITY. BE SURE TO RECONNECT CIRCUIT
WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.

Throttle Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation
The throttle is controlled by an accelerator cable attached to the accelerator pedal and shaft
assembly. The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from the idle position to the wide
open throttle position. Hesitation or binding should not be experienced at any portion of the
accelerator pedal and shaft travel. Surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulator
and floor carpet must not contact the sliding inner member of the accelerator cable, or interfere with
the accelerator pedal and shaft.
The vehicle is also available with an adjustable pedals option. This allows both the accelerator and
brake pedals to be adjusted simultaneously forward or rearward. A rocker switch on the instrument
panel provides adjustment on the pedals assembly when it is activated. On vehicles with the
memory seat option, the pedals position can be controlled by the memory selection, as well as the
rocker switch. The accelerator pedal and shaft can still be serviced separately on the adjustable
pedals assembly. The components in the acceleration control system are not adjustable and must
be replaced if damaged or worn.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4289
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4290
The cylinder specific miss has to be identified as shown in the example in Figure 2 in order to
proceed with the remaining steps. If the miss does not occur at idle (in the bay), try to brake torque
the engine. This extra loading should reproduce the miss in the bay. If the miss cannot be
reproduced during brake torque, select Relative Compression under Powertrain on WDS before
going on a road test to rule out mechanical problems. If Relative Compression shows a problem
then the base engine issue must be serviced. If Relative Compression results are good (Figure 3),
road test under as many different driving conditions as possible until the miss occurs on Power
Balance. Some misses may be very intermiffent so be patient and concentrate on steady load
conditions. Once a cylinder dropout is identified proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: (Select Toolbox Icon, then Powertrain, then Fuel System Test)
Run Fuel System Test on WDS to determine if there may be a fuel problem. After completing fuel
Pressure/Leakdown test, select Injector flow to isolate

Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4291
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 Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 4292
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
DOOR LOCK CYLINDER ROUND DUST COVERS.

REMOVAL
1. Grasp the spark plug boot firmly and use a twisting, pulling motion to disconnect the spark plug
wires from the spark plugs.
CAUTION: Spark plug wires must be connected to the correct ignition coil terminal and spark plug.
Mark the spark plug wire locations.
2. Remove the spark plugs.
NOTE: Remove any foreign materials from the spark plug wells with compressed air before
removing the spark plugs.
3. Inspect the spark plugs for a bridged gap.
^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.
^ Clean the spark plug.
4. Check for oil fouling.
^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.
^ Correct the oil leak concern.
^ Install a new spark plug.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Spark Plug > Component Information >
Specifications > Page 4359
5. Inspect for carbon fouling
^ Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on insulator tips, exposed shell surfaces and
electrodes, caused by a spark plug with a incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich fuel
mixture or excessive idling.
^ Clean the spark plug.
6. Inspect for normal burning.
^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.
7. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine
damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the installation of a
heli-coil insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^
Install a new spark plug.
8. Inspect for overheating identified by a white or light gray-brown spots and white bluish-burnt
appearance of electrodes. This is caused by engine
overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with a incorrect heat range, low fuel
pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^
Install a new spark plug.

9. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.
^ Clean the spark plug.
10. Adjust the spark plug gap as required.
INSTALLATION
1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
NOTE: Apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit inadvertent 4X4 Hi or Low shift events, 4X4 and/or Low Range indicator
flashing or solid or vehicle stuck in 4L after uncommanded shift. This may be caused by the 4X4
shift motor.
ACTION
Install a YL1Z-7G360-AA shift motor on vehicles built before 12/99. The YL1Z-7G360-AA shift
motor with a grey contact plate cover replaces the prior design F75Z-7G360-AA motor with a blue
contact plate cover. Grey cover shift motors contain improved sense plate material and shift motor
terminal upgrade. For vehicles already equipped with the latest style shift motor, refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For overall description and operation of the Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case refer
to Section 308-07 of the appropriate model year Workshop Manual.
NOTE
ALL DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM SECTIONS HEREIN ARE WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT
VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST STYLE SHIFT MOTOR. ALWAYS
REPLACE SHIFT MOTOR AS A FIRST STEP IF CURRENT MOTOR IS PRIOR LEVEL WITH
BLUE COVER.
NOTE
TO RESET THE GEM'S 4X4 MONITORING SOFTWARE, USE CLEAR DTC COMMAND IN THE
NGS OR WOS TESTER (EVEN IF NO DTC'S ARE AVAILABLE) AND CYCLE IGNITION KEY
ON-OFF-ON. RECORD ANY CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES PRIOR TO CLEARING DTCs.
NOTE
AN UNCOMMANDED 4H OR 4L SHIFT DUE TO FALSE SHIFT MOTOR CONTACT PLATE
SIGNAL MAY OR MAY NOT BE ACCOMPANIED BY SHIFT MOTOR DTC'S P1838, P1846,
P1850, P1854, P1858, P1866, AND/OR P1867 STORED IN THE GEM DEPENDING ON
WHETHER THE IGNITION KEY WAS CYCLED AFTER THE EVENT.

1. Parking Maneuvers/Gear Lever Transitions: Symptoms noted during a lower speed
uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Front end binding or hopping while turning
^ Bind feel in drivetrain when backing up and/or turning

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit inadvertent 4X4 Hi or Low shift events, 4X4 and/or Low Range indicator
flashing or solid or vehicle stuck in 4L after uncommanded shift. This may be caused by the 4X4
shift motor.
ACTION
Install a YL1Z-7G360-AA shift motor on vehicles built before 12/99. The YL1Z-7G360-AA shift
motor with a grey contact plate cover replaces the prior design F75Z-7G360-AA motor with a blue
contact plate cover. Grey cover shift motors contain improved sense plate material and shift motor
terminal upgrade. For vehicles already equipped with the latest style shift motor, refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For overall description and operation of the Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case refer
to Section 308-07 of the appropriate model year Workshop Manual.
NOTE
ALL DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM SECTIONS HEREIN ARE WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT
VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST STYLE SHIFT MOTOR. ALWAYS
REPLACE SHIFT MOTOR AS A FIRST STEP IF CURRENT MOTOR IS PRIOR LEVEL WITH
BLUE COVER.
NOTE
TO RESET THE GEM'S 4X4 MONITORING SOFTWARE, USE CLEAR DTC COMMAND IN THE
NGS OR WOS TESTER (EVEN IF NO DTC'S ARE AVAILABLE) AND CYCLE IGNITION KEY
ON-OFF-ON. RECORD ANY CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES PRIOR TO CLEARING DTCs.
NOTE
AN UNCOMMANDED 4H OR 4L SHIFT DUE TO FALSE SHIFT MOTOR CONTACT PLATE
SIGNAL MAY OR MAY NOT BE ACCOMPANIED BY SHIFT MOTOR DTC'S P1838, P1846,
P1850, P1854, P1858, P1866, AND/OR P1867 STORED IN THE GEM DEPENDING ON
WHETHER THE IGNITION KEY WAS CYCLED AFTER THE EVENT.

1. Parking Maneuvers/Gear Lever Transitions: Symptoms noted during a lower speed
uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Front end binding or hopping while turning
^ Bind feel in drivetrain when backing up and/or turning

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

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.

Fluid - A/T: Service Precautions
DO NOT over fill transmission beyond normal fluid level markings. Fluid foaming and transmission
damage may occur.

Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
CAUTION: The vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level indicator shows the fluid below the do
not drive mark or internal failure could result.
NOTE: If vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at highway speeds, city traffic,
hot weather, or pulling a trailer, the fluid needs to cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
NOTE: The fluid level reading on the indicator will differ from operating and ambient temperatures.
The correct reading should be within the normal operating temperature range.
Under normal circumstances, the fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the
transmission starts to slip, shift slowly, or has signs of fluid leaking, the fluid level should be
checked. 1. With the transmission in (P) PARK, the engine at idle, foot pressed on the brake, move
the range selector lever through each gear and allow
engagement of each gear. Place the range selector lever in the PARK position.
2. Wipe the fluid level indicator cap and remove the indicator. 3. Wipe the indicator with a clean
cloth.
4. Install the indicator back in the filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The
fluid level should be within the normal operating
temperature range.
HIGH FLUID LEVEL
A fluid level that is too high may cause the fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of
the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of fluid from the
vent tube and possible transmission malfunction and/or damage. If an overfill reading is indicated,
refer to Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill.
LOW FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level could result in poor transmission engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or
damage. This could also indicate a leak in one of the transmission seals or gaskets.
ADDING FLUID
CAUTION: The use of any other type of transmission fluid than specified could result in
transmission malfunction and/or damage.
If fluid needs to be added, add fluid in 0.25 L (1/2 pint) increments through the filler tube. Do not
overfill the fluid.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
1. Check the fluid level. 2. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances
should be dark reddish, not brown or black or have a burnt odor. 3. Hold the fluid level indicator
over a white facial tissue and allow the fluid to drip onto the facial tissue and examine the stain. 4. If
evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further
inspection. 5. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant in the transmission. The
engine cooling system should also be inspected at this time. 6. If fluid contamination or
transmission failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the fluid pan, the transmission
must be disassembled
and completely cleaned. This includes the torque converter, coolers, and cooler lines. Perform
diagnostic checks and adjustments; refer to the

Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair
1. Normal maintenance requires periodic automatic transmission fluid changes. If a major service,
such as a clutch, band, bearing, 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.
^ Normal Maintenance
^ No recommended changes
^ Special Operating Conditions, Change fluid at 48,000 km (30,000 miles)
2. CAUTION: Use of a fluid other than specified could result in transmission malfunction and/or
failure.
Refer to the vehicle certification label affixed to the LH front door lock face panel or door pillar for
the transmission code.
3. When filling a dry transmission and torque converter, refer to Specifications for capacity. Check
the fluid level.
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable. 2. Raise and support vehicle on hoist. 3. Place a drain pan

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

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

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

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicles affected and to update the
Service Procedure.
ISSUE Transmission fluid may leak between the radiator transmission oil cooler and the
transmission oil cooler fitting (NOT the cooler line into the fitting), which may result in a residue of
transmission fluid on the radiator tank around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This may be
caused by insufficient thread sealer on the transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: THIS TSB DOES NOT APPLY TO TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE AT THE
TRANSMISSION LINE TO TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
ACTION Install O-ring W705181-S onto the transmission oil cooler fitting. The O-ring is designed to
seal the leak and reduce the possibility of transmission fluid leakage. Refer to the following Service
Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify that transmission fluid is leaking between the transmission oil cooler and the transmission
oil cooler fitting (NOT the transmission cooler
line fitting into the transmission oil cooler fitting). Refer to Figure 1.
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

2. Remove the radiator from the vehicle following Workshop Manual procedure. Place the radiator
on a flat surface so that the transmission oil
cooler fittings are facing upward. Refer to Figure 2.
3. Clean the area around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This will insure that contaminants do not
enter the transmission oil cooler when the
transmission oil cooler fittings are removed.
CAUTION: OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS SHOULD NOT BE USED WHEN
CLEANING THE RADIATOR. OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS CAN DAMAGE THE
RADIATOR END TANK SEALS AND CAUSE LEAKS.
4. Remove the upper transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: REMOVE ONLY ONE (1) TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING AT A TIME,
OTHERWISE THE COOLER MAY DROP INTO THE RADIATOR.
5. Once the fitting is removed from the transmission oil cooler, verify that there is a gasket between
the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the
radiator tank. If there is no gasket, replace the radiator. If the gasket is in place, continue to Step 6.
6. Inspect the transmission oil cooler fitting threads for damage. If the threads are damaged,
replace the radiator. If the threads show no sign of
damage, continue to Step 7.

7. Install O-ring W705181-S on the transmission oil cooler fitting. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
CAUTION: THREAD SEALANT OR TAPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON THE THREADS OF
THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING. THE USE OF SUCH MATERIALS WILL CREATE
A LEAK PATH.
8. Making sure that the gasket between the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the radiator
tank is still in place, reinstall the transmission oil
cooler fitting. The fitting should be torqued to 38-45 N.m (28-33 lb-ft).
NOTE:: DO NOT USE AIR TOOLS TO TORQUE THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
USE A HAND-OPERATED TORQUE WRENCH ONLY.
9. Repeat Steps 2-8 for the other transmission oil cooler fitting. This fitting should also have the
O-ring replaced even if it is not leaking.
10. Make sure that no radiator coolant has entered the transmission oil cooler. Reinstall the
radiator in the vehicle following Workshop Manual
procedure.
11. Verify that both the transmission and the engine cooling system have the proper fluid levels
outlined in the Workshop Manual.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
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 4753
^ 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.

This TSB is being republished in its entirety to update the vehicles affected and to update the
Service Procedure.
ISSUE Transmission fluid may leak between the radiator transmission oil cooler and the
transmission oil cooler fitting (NOT the cooler line into the fitting), which may result in a residue of
transmission fluid on the radiator tank around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This may be
caused by insufficient thread sealer on the transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: THIS TSB DOES NOT APPLY TO TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE AT THE
TRANSMISSION LINE TO TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
ACTION Install O-ring W705181-S onto the transmission oil cooler fitting. The O-ring is designed to
seal the leak and reduce the possibility of transmission fluid leakage. Refer to the following Service
Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify that transmission fluid is leaking between the transmission oil cooler and the transmission
oil cooler fitting (NOT the transmission cooler
line fitting into the transmission oil cooler fitting). Refer to Figure 1.
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

May > 00 > A/T Cooler - Fluid Leaks at Radiator > Page 4759
2. Remove the radiator from the vehicle following Workshop Manual procedure. Place the radiator
on a flat surface so that the transmission oil
cooler fittings are facing upward. Refer to Figure 2.
3. Clean the area around the transmission oil cooler fitting. This will insure that contaminants do not
enter the transmission oil cooler when the
transmission oil cooler fittings are removed.
CAUTION: OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS SHOULD NOT BE USED WHEN
CLEANING THE RADIATOR. OIL-BASED SOLVENTS AND CLEANERS CAN DAMAGE THE
RADIATOR END TANK SEALS AND CAUSE LEAKS.
4. Remove the upper transmission oil cooler fitting.
NOTE: REMOVE ONLY ONE (1) TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING AT A TIME,
OTHERWISE THE COOLER MAY DROP INTO THE RADIATOR.
5. Once the fitting is removed from the transmission oil cooler, verify that there is a gasket between
the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the
radiator tank. If there is no gasket, replace the radiator. If the gasket is in place, continue to Step 6.
6. Inspect the transmission oil cooler fitting threads for damage. If the threads are damaged,
replace the radiator. If the threads show no sign of
damage, continue to Step 7.

7. Install O-ring W705181-S on the transmission oil cooler fitting. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
CAUTION: THREAD SEALANT OR TAPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON THE THREADS OF
THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING. THE USE OF SUCH MATERIALS WILL CREATE
A LEAK PATH.
8. Making sure that the gasket between the transmission oil cooler and the inside of the radiator
tank is still in place, reinstall the transmission oil
cooler fitting. The fitting should be torqued to 38-45 N.m (28-33 lb-ft).
NOTE:: DO NOT USE AIR TOOLS TO TORQUE THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER FITTING.
USE A HAND-OPERATED TORQUE WRENCH ONLY.
9. Repeat Steps 2-8 for the other transmission oil cooler fitting. This fitting should also have the
O-ring replaced even if it is not leaking.
10. Make sure that no radiator coolant has entered the transmission oil cooler. Reinstall the
radiator in the vehicle following Workshop Manual
procedure.
11. Verify that both the transmission and the engine cooling system have the proper fluid levels
outlined in the Workshop Manual.

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:

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Transmission Cooler: > 03-14-8 > Jul
> 03 > A/T - Cooler Flushing Service Tips > Page 4767
^ 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
the 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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4794
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4800
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 4801
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4802
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 4804
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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4807
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4808
^ 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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4809
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 > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4810
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 4811
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4812
^ 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

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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 4882
^ 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.

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.

3. Grip each front tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting
the weight of the tire off the front wheel bearing.
4. If the tire and wheel (hub) is loose on the spindle, does not rotate freely, or has a rough feeling
when spun, carry out one of the following:
^ On vehicles with inner and outer bearings, Inspect the bearings and cups for wear or damage.
Adjust or install new bearings and cups as necessary.
^ On vehicles with one sealed bearing, install a new wheel hub. Refer to the appropriate workshop
manual for the service procedures.

Assembly
1. NOTE: Before beginning assembly, perform/inspect the following:
When building tip subassemblies and assembling the transmission, ALWAYS use new gaskets and
seals All fasteners must be tightened to the torque specification indicated. In addition to appearing
in the section, the necessary torques can be found in the General Specifications Chart. When
building up subassemblies, each component part should be lubricated with clean transmission fluid.
It is also good practice to lubricate the subassemblies as they are installed in the case. Needle
bearings, thrust washers and seals should be lightly coated with petroleum jelly during
subassembly buildup or transmission assembly. Many components and surfaces in the
transmission are precision machined. Careful handling during disassembly, cleaning, inspection
and assembly can prevent unnecessary damage to machined surfaces.
Install the valve body cover plate.

Axle Shaft: Description and Operation
Front Wheel Halfshaft Joints - 1 Of 2
Front Wheel Halfshaft Joints - 2 Of 2
The halfshaft assembly transmits equal engine torque from the axle to both front wheels.
The halfshaft assembly uses a Constant Velocity (CV) joint, at both the inboard and outboard ends,
for smooth operation.
The CV joints rotate at approximately one-third the speed of a driveshaft and do not normally
contribute to any rotational vibration that may occur.
The only replaceable components of the halfshaft assembly are: ^
Halfshaft joint boots [inboard and outboard). Replacement kit includes front wheel driveshaft joint
boots and clamps, snap rings, retainer ring and grease.
^ Inboard CV joint (plunge type).
^ Side shaft. Replacement includes the outboard front wheel halfshaft joint affixed type), outboard
boot and clamps, front wheel excluder seal (assembled on the interconnecting shaft).

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.

^ 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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5205
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 5206
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5207
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 5209
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5213
^ 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 > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5214
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 > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5215
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5216
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5217
^ 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 5287
^ 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.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1997-99 EXPEDITION
ISSUE Breakage of the exhaust system between the muffler and tailpipe may occur on some
vehicles. This may be due to the double cardan driveshaft mass causing a resonant frequency that
fatigues the exhaust system between the muffler and tailpipe.
ACTION Replace the double cardan driveshaft with a new heavy duty single cardan driveshaft.
Then replace broken exhaust system. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Replace the double cardan driveshaft with a new Heavy Duty Single Cardan Driveshaft
(XL1Z-4602-AA - 5.4L engine or XL1Z-4602-BA - 4.6L engine) by referring to the appropriate year
Expedition Workshop Manual, Section 205-01. Be sure to align paint mark on driveshaft to paint
mark on axle flange. This is necessary to avoid driveline vibration.
2. Replace the muffler and tailpipe assembly by referring to the Workshop Manual, Section 309-00.

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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5392
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 5393
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 5394
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5400
^ 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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5401
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:

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 5403
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5404
^ 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.

^ 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.

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

DISCONNECTING CIRCUIT 779 (BROWN) AT MAGNETIC CLUTCH COIL ALLOWS
MONITORING SPEED SENSORS WITHOUT CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT INTERFERENCE, AND
WILL NOT SET ANY DTCs OR AFFECT DRIVEABILITY. BE SURE TO RECONNECT CIRCUIT
WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

DISCONNECTING CIRCUIT 779 (BROWN) AT MAGNETIC CLUTCH COIL ALLOWS
MONITORING SPEED SENSORS WITHOUT CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT INTERFERENCE, AND
WILL NOT SET ANY DTCs OR AFFECT DRIVEABILITY. BE SURE TO RECONNECT CIRCUIT
WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit inadvertent 4X4 Hi or Low shift events, 4X4 and/or Low Range indicator
flashing or solid or vehicle stuck in 4L after uncommanded shift. This may be caused by the 4X4
shift motor.
ACTION
Install a YL1Z-7G360-AA shift motor on vehicles built before 12/99. The YL1Z-7G360-AA shift
motor with a grey contact plate cover replaces the prior design F75Z-7G360-AA motor with a blue
contact plate cover. Grey cover shift motors contain improved sense plate material and shift motor
terminal upgrade. For vehicles already equipped with the latest style shift motor, refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For overall description and operation of the Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case refer
to Section 308-07 of the appropriate model year Workshop Manual.
NOTE
ALL DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM SECTIONS HEREIN ARE WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT
VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST STYLE SHIFT MOTOR. ALWAYS
REPLACE SHIFT MOTOR AS A FIRST STEP IF CURRENT MOTOR IS PRIOR LEVEL WITH
BLUE COVER.
NOTE
TO RESET THE GEM'S 4X4 MONITORING SOFTWARE, USE CLEAR DTC COMMAND IN THE
NGS OR WOS TESTER (EVEN IF NO DTC'S ARE AVAILABLE) AND CYCLE IGNITION KEY
ON-OFF-ON. RECORD ANY CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES PRIOR TO CLEARING DTCs.
NOTE

1. Parking Maneuvers/Gear Lever Transitions: Symptoms noted during a lower speed
uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Front end binding or hopping while turning
^ Bind feel in drivetrain when backing up and/or turning

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

MONITORING SPEED SENSORS WITHOUT CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT INTERFERENCE, AND
WILL NOT SET ANY DTCs OR AFFECT DRIVEABILITY. BE SURE TO RECONNECT CIRCUIT
WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit inadvertent 4X4 Hi or Low shift events, 4X4 and/or Low Range indicator
flashing or solid or vehicle stuck in 4L after uncommanded shift. This may be caused by the 4X4
shift motor.
ACTION
Install a YL1Z-7G360-AA shift motor on vehicles built before 12/99. The YL1Z-7G360-AA shift
motor with a grey contact plate cover replaces the prior design F75Z-7G360-AA motor with a blue
contact plate cover. Grey cover shift motors contain improved sense plate material and shift motor
terminal upgrade. For vehicles already equipped with the latest style shift motor, refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For overall description and operation of the Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case refer
to Section 308-07 of the appropriate model year Workshop Manual.
NOTE
ALL DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM SECTIONS HEREIN ARE WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT
VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST STYLE SHIFT MOTOR. ALWAYS
REPLACE SHIFT MOTOR AS A FIRST STEP IF CURRENT MOTOR IS PRIOR LEVEL WITH
BLUE COVER.
NOTE
TO RESET THE GEM'S 4X4 MONITORING SOFTWARE, USE CLEAR DTC COMMAND IN THE
NGS OR WOS TESTER (EVEN IF NO DTC'S ARE AVAILABLE) AND CYCLE IGNITION KEY
ON-OFF-ON. RECORD ANY CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES PRIOR TO CLEARING DTCs.
NOTE

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

DISCONNECTING CIRCUIT 779 (BROWN) AT MAGNETIC CLUTCH COIL ALLOWS
MONITORING SPEED SENSORS WITHOUT CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT INTERFERENCE, AND
WILL NOT SET ANY DTCs OR AFFECT DRIVEABILITY. BE SURE TO RECONNECT CIRCUIT
WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

Transfer Case Actuator: Description and Operation
The shifting operation of the front drive axle is accomplished by activating the vacuum motor from a
switch located on the instrument panel. It is recommended that shifting of the front axle should be
done with the front wheels in a straight ahead position and during light throttle application.

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit inadvertent 4X4 Hi or Low shift events, 4X4 and/or Low Range indicator
flashing or solid or vehicle stuck in 4L after uncommanded shift. This may be caused by the 4X4
shift motor.
ACTION

motor with a grey contact plate cover replaces the prior design F75Z-7G360-AA motor with a blue
contact plate cover. Grey cover shift motors contain improved sense plate material and shift motor
terminal upgrade. For vehicles already equipped with the latest style shift motor, refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
For overall description and operation of the Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) Transfer Case refer
to Section 308-07 of the appropriate model year Workshop Manual.
NOTE
ALL DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM SECTIONS HEREIN ARE WRITTEN ASSUMING THAT
VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST STYLE SHIFT MOTOR. ALWAYS
REPLACE SHIFT MOTOR AS A FIRST STEP IF CURRENT MOTOR IS PRIOR LEVEL WITH
BLUE COVER.
NOTE
TO RESET THE GEM'S 4X4 MONITORING SOFTWARE, USE CLEAR DTC COMMAND IN THE
NGS OR WOS TESTER (EVEN IF NO DTC'S ARE AVAILABLE) AND CYCLE IGNITION KEY

1. Parking Maneuvers/Gear Lever Transitions: Symptoms noted during a lower speed
uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Front end binding or hopping while turning
^ Bind feel in drivetrain when backing up and/or turning
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Control Module: > 01-14-1 > Jul > 01 > Transfer Case Inadvertent Shifts > Page 5786
^ Audible clunking or grinding noises, and/or Amber low range light illuminated
a. If the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) receives a false Mode Switch input during or shortly
after the Digital Transmission Range Sensor (DTR) indicates a Neutral range pass-thru, an
uncommanded shift is possible if remaining 4L pre-conditions are met. The pre-conditions besides
transmission in Neutral range include: service brake depressed, and vehicle speed less than 5
km/h (3 mph). A false switch input may also set a P1812 or P1815 DTC in the GEM.
b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

DISCONNECTING CIRCUIT 779 (BROWN) AT MAGNETIC CLUTCH COIL ALLOWS
MONITORING SPEED SENSORS WITHOUT CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT INTERFERENCE, AND
WILL NOT SET ANY DTCs OR AFFECT DRIVEABILITY. BE SURE TO RECONNECT CIRCUIT
WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

b. Check mode switch circuits 682 (dark blue) for short to power and 780 (dark blue) for ground
short, loose connections at inline connectors, and chafes.
c. Monitor Mode Switch Parameter Identification Display (PID) 4WD_SW for false readings while
slightly pushing in and wiggling the mode switch knob. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-07A
for mode switch resistance tests for all switch positions.
d. Replace Mode Switch if it fails testing or repair wiring on circuits 682 or 780 if fault indicated. If
tests pass, inspect build date stamped on GEM and replace if GEM built prior to 9/98.
e. Test drive vehicle for proper 4X4 operation in all modes. Include parking lot maneuvers and
transmission gear range lever transitions while testing. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no
DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle ignition.
2. Road Speed: Reported symptoms for a higher speed uncommanded shift to 4L event include:
^ Rapid deceleration
^ High engine revving possibly accompanied by a P1270 DTC in the PCM
^ Clunk/grind noise
^ Speedometer may spike higher than actual speed.
After the initial event the vehicle may exhibit restricted vehicle top speed without 4X4 indicators
illuminated but possible MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on.
a. Monitor contact plate A, B, C, D PIDS. With Mode Switch in;
^ A4WD, plate PIDS should read "0C00"
^ 4H PIDS should read "C00C"
^ 4L PIDS should read "C0C0" (sequentially read starting with plate A then B, then C, finally D).
If contact plate PIDS DO NOT correspond to the set 4WD position, check for
continuity/shorts/moisture/corrosion in the vehicle side of the transfer case shift motor connector
(toward the GEM). Visually inspect all terminals, pins, crimps, and connectors closely. Repair any
wiring conditions in the contact plate circuits as necessary.
b. Road test at speeds above 16 km/h (10 mph) with Mode Switch in both A4WD and 4H to see if
the condition returns. Clear DTCs from GEM (even if no DTCs exist) and cycle ignition. Clear DTCs
from PCM if a P1270 (engine RPM or vehicle speed limiter reached) code was initially present.
UNCOMMANDED SHIFT TO 4H
1. Autolock Strategy (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): Uncommanded 4H shifts with red 4X4
light on "solid" while driving in Automatic Mode may be a vehicle characteristic if driven off-road or
under slippery conditions. The GEM Autolock strategy commands transfer case clutch to minimum
duty cycle and engages 4H (with mode switch still set to A4WD) to prevent continuous cycling from
prematurely wearing the clutch. This is design intent. Excessive tire circumference variations or
axles with unmatched gear ratio's can result in unexpected Autolock function as well, for more
detail check the speed sensor section below. Once the condition that caused Autolock strategy to
activate is no longer present, the system stays in 4H until operator cycles the ignition key or sets
the mode switch to 4H then back to A4WD.
2. Transfer Case Speed Sensors (Expedition/Navigator Vehicles Only): If uncommanded shift to 4H
occurs on hi-traction surfaces, check TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP PIDS for excessive speed sensor
variation between the front and rear transfer case speed sensors.
a. If PIDS show sensor inputs not within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph) of each other during steady-state
driving with possible DTCs P1836/P1837, first verify tire pressures, sizes, circumference within 1/4
" among all four tires, and front and rear axle gear ratio's for matching.

DISCONNECTING CIRCUIT 779 (BROWN) AT MAGNETIC CLUTCH COIL ALLOWS
MONITORING SPEED SENSORS WITHOUT CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT INTERFERENCE, AND
WILL NOT SET ANY DTCs OR AFFECT DRIVEABILITY. BE SURE TO RECONNECT CIRCUIT
WHEN TESTING IS COMPLETED.
b. If ratio's match and tire sizes are okay, check associated circuits and replace speed sensor(s) or
repair wiring as necessary.
c. During sensor installation use lubricant on sensor 0-ring and verify fully seated before tightening
hold-down bracket.
d. After any repairs, road test while comparing NGS GEM PIDS TRA_FSP and TRA_RSP to PCM
VSS signal. Verify all three PIDS match each other within 2-3 km/h (1-2 mph).
3. False Input to GEM A false mode switch input on circuits 682 and/or 780 (Dark Blue) could be
interpreted by the GEM as operator requesting a 4H shift. Under this condition, the GEM will
command shift motor movement to match the false switch input. The red 4X4 indicator will
illuminate just as if operator moved the switch. If the condition became intermittent, the 4X4 range
and also the indicators could switch back and forth between A4WD/2H and 4H.
a. Check the Mode Switch circuits between the GEM and dash for chafing, shorts, crimps,
continuity. Repair wiring if faults found or if wiring okay, replace the Mode Switch itself.
b. After any repair, pull DTCs from the GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes
present and cycle ignition.
STUCK IN 4L AT ALL TIMES
1. If the customer describes an uncommanded shift to 4L shortly after start-up and then unable to
shift transfer case, check operation. Associated symptoms could include valid GEM DTCs being
erased and false DTCs such as C1107 present. If stuck in 4X4, re-establishing normal shift motor
operation is possible by putting mode switch in 4L with trans gear lever in neutral, service brake
depressed, and vehicle stationary. To address:
a. Replace the GEM module.
b. Test drive vehicle. Include a start-up after soak period trying to match the conditions initially
reported by the customer to verify the repair.
c. Pull DTCs from GEM (even if there are no DTCs available). Clear any codes present and cycle
ignition.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Pedal Assy > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5892
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Pedal Assy > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5893
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Pedal Assy > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5894
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Brake Pedal Assy: Description and Operation
The brake pedal is connected to the power brake booster, which is connected to the brake master
cylinder. The brake pedal is adjustable, either non-memory or memory is available. When the brake
pedal is depressed, brake fluid is pushed from the master cylinder through the metal tubing and
flexible hoses to the rear disc brake calipers and the front disc brake calipers. The brake fluid
enters the rear disc brake calipers, forcing the rear disc brake caliper pistons outward against the
brake pads. The brake pads press against the braking surface on the brake discs. The front disc
brake caliper pistons are forced outward against the brake pads, and contact the braking surface of
the brake discs and hub. When the brake pedal is released, the pressure is relieved, returning the
brake caliper pistons and the brake shoes and linings to the unapplied position.
The dual brake system is split front and rear with the front wheel brakes comprising one circuit and
the rear wheel brakes, the other circuit.
The ability of a brake system to stop the vehicle is dependent on the available traction.

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
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.
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, a new brake master cylinder
reservoir must be installed.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
Brake Master Cylinder Fluid Control Valve
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 hard braking.
In the case of 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.

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation
The brake master cylinder is a dual-piston type. The brake master cylinder is assisted by a power
brake booster. The following conditions are considered normal, and are not indications that the
brake master cylinder is in need of repair or replacement: Low brake fluid level detected without signs of leakage. This condition is caused by displacement
of brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir into the disc brake calipers to compensate
for normal brake wear. Add brake fluid as needed.
- A momentary or slight ripple of brake fluid inside the brake master cylinder reservoir upon
application or release of the brake pedal.
- A trace of brake fluid found on the outside of the power brake booster below the brake master
cylinder mounting flange. This condition results from the lubricating action of the brake master
cylinder wiping seal.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection Brake Master Cylinder
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master
cylinder is in need of service. Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder,
the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and fall during
release. The net fluid level (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: Testing and Inspection Bypass Condition Test
1. Disconnect the brake lines at the brake master cylinder. 2. Plug the outlet ports of the brake
master cylinder. 3. Apply the brakes. If brake pedal height cannot be maintained, the brake master
cylinder has an internal leak and must be rebuilt or replaced.

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

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
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.
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, a new brake master cylinder
reservoir must be installed.

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.

Removal
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your
body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce
the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a
product of the gas generent combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap
and water afterwards.
WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag
deployment, which can result in personal injury.
WARNING: Air bag modules with discolored or damaged trim covers must be replaced, not
repainted.
WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for proper system operation. If a vehicle equipped
with an air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is involved in a collision, inspect the sensor
mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. Replace and properly position the sensor or
any other damaged Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components whether or not the air bag
is deployed.
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply
must be depleted before repairing or replacing any front or side air bag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking components near
the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers,
seats and hood latches.
Please refer to the appropriate vehicle location of the front air bag sensors.
The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar.
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
one minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute. 2. Remove the steering wheel.
3. Twist off the cap from the ignition switch lock cylinder.

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

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

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.

Starter Solenoid: Description and Operation
The starter solenoid:
- is an electromagnet.
- engages the starter drive to the flywheel.
- when energized, the contacts close, connecting the battery to the starter motor. This causes the
starter motor to turn the starter drive.
- is kept in the energized condition by a hold-in winding until the starter switch is released.
When the ignition switch is turned to the START position, the starter motor solenoid relay switch is
energized, connecting the battery to the starter solenoid. The starter solenoid moves the drive lever
and pin to engage the starter drive with the flywheel ring gear and connects the battery to the
starter motor.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6293
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6294
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6295
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

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: > 02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 6324
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.

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
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.

- Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 6344
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.

PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.
NOTE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT
MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL
TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM
CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE
LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.
WARNING
ALL SOLDERING AND HEAT SHRINKING MUST BE COMPLETED AWAY FROM THE FUEL
TANK AREA. USE A SOLDERING IRON ONLY FOR SOLDERING AND HEAT GUN ONLY FOR
APPLYING SHRINK TUBING.
4. Secure the RFI filter to the fuel pump and sender assembly with a Bundling Strap (95873-S101)
to prevent rattling in the tank, Figures 1 and 2.
5. Reinstall the fuel pump sender assembly into the fuel tank.
CAUTION
INSTALL NEW GASKETS WHEN REINSTALLING SENDER TO PREVENT LEAKS. REFER TO
THE PARTS CATALOG FOR PROPER APPLICATIONS.
6. Check the appropriate Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) (or other service
literature) for the location of the fuel pump ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3 ') from the tank,
cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3 ') of the tank to prevent ground wire from acting
as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the operating

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6368
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6369
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6370
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6524
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6525
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6526
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6541
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6542
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6543
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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

Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Electronic Noise Suppressor: > 02-16-4 > Aug > 02 > Audio System Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 6555
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.

THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6592
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6593
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6594
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6619
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6620
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6621
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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 > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6748
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 6749
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

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
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6752
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6756
^ 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 6757
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:

Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6758
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6759
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6760
^ 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,

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.

Alignment: Description and Operation
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 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Page 6840
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.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
NOTE: The 4WAS control module is also used for the RAS system. The internal processor
recognizes external circuitry to determine if it is installed in a 4WAS or a RAS system.
NOTE: The air suspension control module is calibrated with information from the air suspension
height sensors. A new or swapped air suspension control module requires the ride height
adjustment calibration process to be performed.
A microcontroller-based electronic air suspension control module controls the air compressor motor
(through a solid state relay) and all system solenoids. The air suspension control module also
provides power to front and rear height sensors. The air suspension control 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 Pedal Position (BPP)
switch. The air suspension control module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and
contains self-test and communication software for testing the vehicle and related components.
The air suspension control module is interchangeable between the RAS and 4WAS system.
The air suspension control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin two-way
connector. The air suspension control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an
incorrect harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the air suspension control
module. Each is uniquely colored and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation
Two height sensors are mounted on the vehicle. The sensors send a voltage signal to the air
suspension 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 usable range of 80 mm (3 inch) compared to total
suspension travel of 200-250 mm (8-10 inch) 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 inch) of
travel at the height sensor. The front height sensor upper socket is attached to the frame bracket 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 indicates that the vehicle is lower than trim under normal driving
conditions, the air compressor will turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the
sensor indicates that the vehicle is raised above trim under normal driving conditions, this will
cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim height level.

Special Tools
NOTE: If the air is not purged from the power steering system correctly, pump failure could result.
This condition can occur on pre-delivery vehicles with evidence of aerated fluid or on vehicles that
have had steering component repairs.
A whine heard from the power steering pump may be caused by air in the system. The power
steering purging procedure must be performed under the following conditions: Prior to any component repair for which power steering noise complaints are accompanied by
evidence of aerated fluid.
- After replacement of any power steering system component (gear, hose, etc.).
1. Remove the power steering fluid reservoir cap.
2. Tightly insert the stopper of the special tool into the power steering fluid reservoir. 3. Start the
engine and allow it to idle.

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 Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Tie Rod > Tie Rod End > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Steering - Tie Rod End Inspection Procedures > Page 7073
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.

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 Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor Field Effect Transistor (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 air suspension control module.
The compressor solid state relay is energized by the air suspension control module to have high
current flow from the battery to the compressor motor.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
NOTE: The 4WAS control module is also used for the RAS system. The internal processor
recognizes external circuitry to determine if it is installed in a 4WAS or a RAS system.
NOTE: The air suspension control module is calibrated with information from the air suspension
height sensors. A new or swapped air suspension control module requires the ride height
adjustment calibration process to be performed.
A microcontroller-based electronic air suspension control module controls the air compressor motor
(through a solid state relay) and all system solenoids. The air suspension control module also
provides power to front and rear height sensors. The air suspension control 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 Pedal Position (BPP)
switch. The air suspension control module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and
contains self-test and communication software for testing the vehicle and related components.
The air suspension control module is interchangeable between the RAS and 4WAS system.
The air suspension control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin two-way
connector. The air suspension control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an
incorrect harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the air suspension control
module. Each is uniquely colored and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

(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 usable range of 80 mm (3 inch) compared to total
suspension travel of 200-250 mm (8-10 inch) 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 inch) of
travel at the height sensor. The front height sensor upper socket is attached to the frame bracket 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 indicates that the vehicle is lower than trim under normal driving
conditions, the air compressor will turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the
sensor indicates that the vehicle is raised above trim under normal driving conditions, this will
cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim height level.

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.

Air Spring: Description and Operation Rear Air Spring
The 4WAS vehicles use air springs in the rear. The air springs provide a varying spring rate
proportional to the system's air pressure and volume. The air suspension system regulates the air
pressure in each air spring by compressing and venting the system's 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 air spring
solenoid installed in the upper spring cap and energized through the air suspension control module
command.
The air springs replace the conventional coil springs.

Air Spring: Description and Operation Front Air Shock Absorbers
Adjustable air shock absorbers are used for the 4WAS system vehicles. Enclosed in each shock
absorber is an air spring. Replace a faulty 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.

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 7225
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.

Compressor/Pump: Description and Operation
The air compressor:
- Is not interchangeable with the Rear Air Suspension (RAS) air compressor.
- Consists of the compressor and vent solenoid; neither are replaceable as individual items.
- Is a single cylinder electric motor driven unit that provides pressurized air as required.
- Is powered by a solid state relay, which is controlled by the air suspension control module.
- Passes pressurized air through the compressor air drier that contains silica gel (a drying agent).
Moisture is then removed from the compressor air drier when vented air passes out of the system
during vent operation.
- The drier may be replaced separately.
- The drier has dual ports and is not interchangeable with the RAS drier.
The vent solenoid:
- Allows air to escape from the system during venting actions.
- Is part of the air compressor cylinder head.
- Shares a common electrical connector with the air compressor motor.
- Is enclosed in the cylinder head casting, which forms an integral valve housing that allows the
valve tip to enter the pressurized side of the system.
- Has an O-ring seal that prevents air leakage past the valve tip.
- Opens when the air suspension control module determines lowering is required.
- Provides an escape route for pressurized air when system pressures exceed safe operating
levels.
- Has a 1792 kPa (260 psi) internal relief valve.
- Is installed with the air compressor as a unit.

A solid state relay is used in the air suspension system for compressor control. The relay
incorporates a custom power Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor Field Effect Transistor (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 air suspension control module.
The compressor solid state relay is energized by the air suspension control module to have high

Level Control Solenoid Valve: Description and Operation Exhaust Solenoid (Level Control)
The Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) protects the rear air suspension components by venting the
system to a specific pressure in the case of a system malfunction. The system will decrease the
pressure to an acceptable level to maintain vehicle height. In the normal operation mode with
normal system pressure, the PRV is constantly closed and does not have any effect on the system
performance or fiction. The PRV is replaceable without any air lines.

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 suspension 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 the left to the right front air shocks
during roll conditions. When the front fill solenoid and front gate solenoid 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 springs.
When energized along with the two rear solenoids, air pressure to the rear suspension can be
modified, affecting its height relative to the body.

Ride Height Sensor: Description and Operation
Two height sensors are mounted on the vehicle. The sensors send a voltage signal to the air
suspension 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 usable range of 80 mm (3 inch) compared to total
suspension travel of 200-250 mm (8-10 inch) 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 inch) of
travel at the height sensor. The front height sensor upper socket is attached to the frame bracket 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 indicates that the vehicle is lower than trim under normal driving
conditions, the air compressor will turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the
sensor indicates that the vehicle is raised above trim under normal driving conditions, this will
cause the air to be vented from the system to lower the vehicle to its trim height level.

Suspension Control Module: Description and Operation
NOTE: The 4WAS control module is also used for the RAS system. The internal processor
recognizes external circuitry to determine if it is installed in a 4WAS or a RAS system.
NOTE: The air suspension control module is calibrated with information from the air suspension
height sensors. A new or swapped air suspension control module requires the ride height
adjustment calibration process to be performed.
A microcontroller-based electronic air suspension control module controls the air compressor motor
(through a solid state relay) and all system solenoids. The air suspension control module also
provides power to front and rear height sensors. The air suspension control 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 Pedal Position (BPP)
switch. The air suspension control module also conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies and
contains self-test and communication software for testing the vehicle and related components.
The air suspension control module is interchangeable between the RAS and 4WAS system.
The air suspension control module monitors and controls the system through a 32-pin two-way
connector. The air suspension control module is keyed so that it cannot be plugged into an
incorrect harness. There are two sides of the harness connection to the air suspension control
module. Each is uniquely colored and keyed to prevent reversing the connections.

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. 8.
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).
9. Tighten the shock absorber attachments to the specified torque.
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 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 7322
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 can result in unexpected
inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can 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.

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.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7352
^ 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 7358
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 7359
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 7360
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7366
^ 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 7367
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 > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7368
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 > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7369
^ 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 > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7370
^ 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 > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7440
^ 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 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.

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 7482
^ 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 7488
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 7489
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 7490
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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 7492
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 7496
^ 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 7497
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 7498
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 > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 7499
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Wheels/Tires - Road Force Measurement Equipment > Page 7500
^ 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 7570
^ 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.

Wheels: Technician Safety Information
WARNING: Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground, for example, when changing a tire.
The wheel resting on the ground could cause the vehicle to move.
WARNING: The tire and wheel must always be properly matched. It is very important to determine
the size of each component before any assembly operations commence. Do not mount a 16-inch
tire on a 16.5-inch wheel. Failure to adhere to these instructions can result in an explosive
separation and cause serious bodily injury or death. Do not mount a 16.5 inch tire on a 16 inch
wheel. The tire can come off without warning.
WARNING: Aftermarket aerosol tire sealants are extremely flammable. Always question the
customer to make sure these products have not been used.
WARNING: Use only wheels and lug nuts that have been designed for the correct model year Ford
trucks. Aftermarket wheels or lug nuts may not fit or function properly, and can cause personal
injury or damage the vehicle.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield when performing any work with tire and
wheel assemblies.

Wheels: Description and Operation
WARNING: Do not mix different types of tires such as radial, bias, or bias-belted, on the same
vehicle except in emergencies (temporary spare usage). Vehicle handling can be seriously affected
and can result in loss of control.
Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and
including full-rated load capacity when inflated to recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy
cornering, excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
Replacement tires should follow the recommended: tire sizes.
- speed rating.
- load range.
- radial construction type.
Use of any over tire size or type may seriously affect: ride.
- handling
- speedometer/odometer calibration.
- vehicle ground clearance.
- tire clearance between the body and chassis.
- wheel bearing life.
- brake cooling.
Wheels need to be replaced when: bent.
- dented.
- heavily rusted.
- leaking.
- they have elongated wheel hub bolt holes.
- they have excessive lateral or radial runout.
A two-piece lug nut is used, containing the nut and a washer.
Wheel and tire assemblies are attached by five noncentering lug nuts.
When balancing wheels and tires, use T-type balancing weights.
The spare tire is mounted under the frame. The valve stem should be on the top side of the tire to
reduce the possibility of accidental valve stem air leakage.
To equalize tire wear, rotate the tires periodically.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7596
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 7597
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7598
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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7604
^ 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 7606
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 7607
^ 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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 7608
^ 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
^ Noise occurs during part/system functioning. GO to Symptom Chart - Squeak and Rattle.
2. While cranking

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 7678
^ 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.

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.

3. Grip each front tire at the top and bottom and move the wheel inward and outward while lifting
the weight of the tire off the front wheel bearing.
4. If the tire and wheel (hub) is loose on the spindle, does not rotate freely, or has a rough feeling
when spun, carry out one of the following:
^ On vehicles with inner and outer bearings, Inspect the bearings and cups for wear or damage.
Adjust or install new bearings and cups as necessary.
^ On vehicles with one sealed bearing, install a new wheel hub. Refer to the appropriate workshop
manual for the service procedures.

Vehicle Description: Sport utility vehicles equipped with four-wheel-drive (4x4), 17" chrome steel
wheels. The clamp load can be lost on the wheel lugs due to insufficient wheel contact area with
the hub. In some cases, the contact area can deform, resulting in a loss of lug nut torque. Loss of
lug nut torque can cause vibration or separation of a wheel and tire from the vehicle. Dealers will
re-torque the wheel lugs to proper specifications and also install a label that specifies that the
wheel lugs be torqued to 110 lb-ft any time the wheel is removed. Owner notification began May 7,
1999. 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.

Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is riot required when repairing the air
conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed
A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The suction accumulator/drier is mounted to the A/C accumulator bracket to the right of the vehicle
centerline. The inlet lube of the suction accumulator/drier attaches directly to the A/C evaporator
core outlet tube and the outlet tube of the suction accumulator/drier attaches to the A/C manifold
and tube.
After entering the inlet of the suction accumulator/drier, heavier oil-laden refrigerant contacts an
internally mounted dome (which serves as an umbrella) and drips down onto the bottom of the
canister.
^ A small diameter oil bleed hole, in the bottom of the vapor return tube, allows the accumulated
heavier liquid refrigerant and oil mixture to re-enter the compressor suction line at a controlled rate.
^ As the heavier mixture passes through the small diameter liquid bleed hole, it has a second
chance to vaporize and recirculate through the A/C compressor without causing compressor
damage due to slugging.
^ A fine mesh screened filter fits tightly around the bottom of the vapor return tube to filter out
refrigerant system contaminant particles.
^ A desiccant bag is mounted inside the canister to absorb any moisture which may be in the
refrigerant system.
^ A fitting located on the top of the suction accumulator/drier is used to attach the A/C cycling
switch. A long-travel Schrader-type valve stem core

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation
The A/C electric blend door actuator is located on the plenum assembly.
^ Its function is to move the air temperature blend door on command from the control assembly.
^ The A/C electric blend door actuator contains a reversible electric motor and a potentiometer.
The potentiometer wiper is connected to the actuator output shaft and moves with the output shaft
to indicate the position of the air temperature blend door.
^ A 5 volt signal is applied to the ends of the potentiometer. The voltage available at the wiper
indicates the position of the potentiometer. The expressed value of the actuator wiper voltage is
sent to the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module and is compared to the
desired wiper voltage determined by the EATC module. The control ]nodule then drives the
actuator motor in whichever direction is necessary to make the actuator wiper voltage agree with
the desired wiper voltage.

Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation
The heater blower motor switch resistor has the following features:
^ The assembly is located on the passenger side of the plenum assembly behind the glove
compartment.
^ Three resistance elements are mounted on the resistor board to provide four A/C blower motor
speeds.
^ Depending on the heater blower motor switch position, series resistance is added or bypassed in
the A/C blower motor circuit to decrease or increase A/C blower motor speed.
^ An overheating protective device (thermal limiter) will open the resistor coil circuit when the
temperature reaches 121°C (250°F) interrupting the blower motor operation in all speeds except
HI.
^ The thermal limiter cannot be reset and is not serviceable.

Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
The in-car temperature sensor operates in the following manner:
^ A thermistor in the in-car temperature sensor measures air temperature inside the passenger
compartment.
^ An automatic temperature control sensor hose and elbow is connected between the plenum
assembly and the in-car temperature sensor.
^ The automatic temperature control sensor hose and elbow uses air from the plenum assembly air
stream to create a suction at the in-car temperature sensor.
^ The suction draws in-vehicle air into the in-car temperature sensor and across the thermistor.

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation
A/C compressor and Clutch Assembly
Compressor Clutch Components
NOTE
- Internal A/C compressor components are not serviced separately. The FS-10 A/C compressor is
serviced only as an assembly. The A/C clutch, A/C clutch pulley, A/C clutch field coil and the shaft
seal are serviceable.
- Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning
system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C
compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The FS-10 A/C compressor has the following characteristics:
^ A ten-cylinder swashplate design utilizing the tangential design mount.
^ Displacement of 154 cc (9.4 cubic inches)
^ A one-piece lip-type seal (installed from the front of the A/C compressor) is used to seal it at the
shaft opening in the assembly.
^ Five double-acting pistons operate within the cylinder assembly. The pistons are actuated by a
swashplate that changes the rotating action of the shaft to a reciprocating force.
^ Reed-type discharge valves are located between the cylinder assembly and the head at each end
of the A/C compressor.
^ The A/C compressor uses PAG Compressor Oil, F7AZ-19589-DA, or equivalent meeting Ford
specification WSH-M1C231-B. This oil contains special additives required for the A/C compressor.
^ The A/C compressor oil from vehicles equipped with an FS-10 A/C compressor may have a dark
color while maintaining a normal oil viscosity. This is normal for this A/C compressor because
carbon from the piston rings will discolor the oil.
The magnetic A/C clutch has the following characteristics:
^ It drives the compressor shaft.
^ When battery positive voltage (B+) is applied to the A/C clutch field coil, the clutch disc and hub
assembly is drawn toward the A/C clutch pulley.
^ The magnetic force locks the clutch disc and hub assembly and the A/C clutch pulley together as
one unit, causing the compressor shaft to rotate.
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Compressor HVAC > Compressor Clutch > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 7874
^ When B+ is removed from the A/C clutch field coil, springs in the clutch disc and hub assembly
move the clutch plate away from the A/C clutch pulley.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Blower Motor Speed Control
The A/C blower motor speed control is a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) type which provides
variable blower speed control of the blower motor. The A/C blower motor speed control is
controlled by switching the control signal voltage of 5 volts OFF and ON 2,000 times per second.
By varying the ratio of time on (+5 volts) to time off (0 volts), the Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) module tells the A/C bower motor speed control how fast the blower motor should
run. The A/C blower motor speed control has the following features:
^ Has circuitry to protect the blower motor from burning out in the event of a locked rotor condition.
^ Can compensate for changes in battery positive voltage (B+) which prevents the blower speed
from slowing down when the engine is idling and will provide up to a maximum of 30 amperes for
blower motor operation with battery voltages between 10 and 16 volts.

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

A/C Evaporator Core
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is riot required when repairing the air
conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed
A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The A/C evaporator core is the plate/fin type with a unique refrigerant flow path.
^ A mixture of refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the A/C evaporator core through the A/C
evaporator core inlet tube and is routed so it flows through the partitioned first three plate/fin
sections.
^ The next four plate/fin sections are partitioned to force the refrigerant to flow toward the other end
of the A/C evaporator core.
^ Refrigerant then continues over to the remaining five plate/fin sections and then moves out of the
A/C evaporator core through the A/C evaporator core outlet tube.
^ This S-pass flow pattern accelerates the flow of refrigerant and oil through the A/C evaporator
core.

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

Expansion Valve: Description and Operation
An A/C evaporator expansion valve automatically regulates the flow of refrigerant into the auxiliary
A/C evaporator core. It is also the dividing point in the system between low- and high-pressure
sides.
The temperature sensing bulb measures the temperature of the refrigerant in the suction line and
transmits it to the A/C evaporator expansion valve. This temperature variation regulates the
refrigerant flow to the auxiliary A/C evaporator core.
^ When the bulb senses a high temperature, the A/C evaporator expansion valve opens and floods
refrigerant through the auxiliary A/C evaporator core.
^ When the bulb senses a low temperature, the A/C evaporator expansion valve starts closing to
shut off the refrigerant to the auxiliary A/C evaporator core.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

7989
heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference
Workshop Manual, Section 412.
b. If leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and does not appear to be the result of
physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.
Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the
battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure
it is in contact with the coolant but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system.
Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty
engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that
coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the
engine block before addition to or replacement of. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater
core clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the
original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE
POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (V) OK, reconnect
battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. If greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft® engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on off switch on the vehicle instrument panel, use a jumper
wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell
phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.

l. Check for ANY AC voltage greater than 0.4.
m. If any AC voltage is present then try turning off each accessory one at a time including blower
motor and any fan motors.
n. If AC voltage is still present then shut engine off and remove B+ from the alternator and tape it
up then retest.
o. If voltage drop is gradual to less than or equal to 0.4 V, the ground straps may simply be
overloaded by added accessories. Test by using heavy gauge jumper to ground. If indicated, install
heavier gauge ground strap(s) and recheck.
NOTE
If vehicle is equipped with electric cooling fans, be sure they cycle during this testing and monitor
voltage when they are on and when off.

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

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

motor and any fan motors.
n. If AC voltage is still present then shut engine off and remove B+ from the alternator and tape it
up then retest.
o. If voltage drop is gradual to less than or equal to 0.4 V, the ground straps may simply be
overloaded by added accessories. Test by using heavy gauge jumper to ground. If indicated, install
heavier gauge ground strap(s) and recheck.
NOTE
If vehicle is equipped with electric cooling fans, be sure they cycle during this testing and monitor
voltage when they are on and when off.

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

> Page 8034
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.

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator/drier is not required when repairing the air
conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed
A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator/drier.
The condenser to evaporator tube contains high pressure liquid refrigerant upstream of the A/C
evaporator core orifice.
The A/C manifold and tube is attached to the A/C compressor with O-ring seals and has the
following features:
^ The upstream side contains low pressure refrigerant gas.
^ The downstream side contains high pressure refrigerant gas.
^ An integral non-serviceable muffler and a serviceable high pressure A/C charge port valve are
located on the downstream side.
^ The downstream side also contains a fitting used to mount the A/C pressure cut-off switch. A
long-travel Schrader-type valve stem core is installed in the fitting so that the A/C pressure cut-off
switch can be removed without recovering the A/C system.

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

Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 8108
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 > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 8109
when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is not considered a contaminant
although air can affect A/C system performance. Air will automatically be purged until a pure
refrigerant with a less than 2% by weight air measurement is reached.
Recovery of Contaminated Refrigerant
If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a or R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the following actions:
1. Repeat the test to verify contaminated refrigerant is present.
2. Advise the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any additional cost to repair the
system. The customer may wish to return to the service facility which performed the last A/C
service.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for
capturing and storing contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to recover
contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C
service facility in your area which has the proper equipment for refrigerant recovery.
Repairing A Contaminated A/C System
Once the contaminated refrigerant is removed from the system it will be necessary to repair the
system. Ford recommends that you do the following to be sure a quality repair is made:
1. Determine the cause of the failure.
2. Determine which parts will need to be replaced.
3. Flush the heat exchangers to remove any oil that may be degraded due to the contaminated
refrigerant.
4. Install a new suction/accumulator.
5. Properly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of clean refrigerant oil is present
in the system.
6. Evacuate the system for 45 minutes.
7. Recharge the system, verify proper operation, and leak test.
Disposal of Contaminated Refrigerant
Disposal of contaminated refrigerant is a new process to the automotive industry Listed below are
companies that will assist with disposal of contaminated refrigerant. Ford Motor Company has not
evaluated the processes of the listed refrigerant disposal companies and is not endorsing or
promoting their companies Business transactions are between the dealership and disposal
companies. Disposal costs will vary between $3.00 and $5.00 per pound, plus the cost of round trip
cylinder shipping.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Cutoff Switch
Typical Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor
The A/C pressure cut-off switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event of high
system discharge pressures.
^ The A/C pressure cut-off switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the high pressure
side of the A/C manifold and tube.
^ A valve depressor, located inside the threaded end of the A/C pressure cut-off switch, presses on
the Schrader valve stem.
^ This allows the A/C pressure cut-off switch to monitor the compressor discharge pressure.
^ When the compressor discharge pressure rises to approximately 2,896 kPa (420 psi), the switch
contacts open, disengaging the A/C compressor.
^ When the pressure drops to approximately 1724 kPa (250 psi) the contacts close to allow
operation of the A/C compressor.
^ It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant system to remove the A/C pressure cut-off switch.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation A/C Pressure Switch
A/C Cycling Switch
The A/C cycling switch is mounted on a Schrader valve-type fitting on the 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 152-193 kPa (22-28 psi).
^ The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 276-324kPa (40-47 psi).
^ When the A/C cycling switch contacts close, the A/C clutch field coil is energized.
^ When the A/C cycling switch contacts open, the A/C clutch field coil is deenergized and
compressor operation stops.
^ The A/C cycling switch will control the A/C evaporator core pressure at a point where the plate/fin
surface temperature will be maintained slightly above freezing.
^ This prevents icing of the A/C evaporator core and blockage of airflow.
^ It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Blower Motor Speed Control
The A/C blower motor speed control is a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) type which provides
variable blower speed control of the blower motor. The A/C blower motor speed control is
controlled by switching the control signal voltage of 5 volts OFF and ON 2,000 times per second.
By varying the ratio of time on (+5 volts) to time off (0 volts), the Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) module tells the A/C bower motor speed control how fast the blower motor should
run. The A/C blower motor speed control has the following features:
^ Has circuitry to protect the blower motor from burning out in the event of a locked rotor condition.
^ Can compensate for changes in battery positive voltage (B+) which prevents the blower speed
from slowing down when the engine is idling and will provide up to a maximum of 30 amperes for
blower motor operation with battery voltages between 10 and 16 volts.

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

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

Seat Belt: Service and Repair Service Procedures
Post Collision Inspection
1. 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.
WARNING: All safety belt assemblies including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle support
assemblies (slide bar), shoulder belt height adjusters, 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.
NOTE: 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.
2. Install the new safety belt(s) using the appropriate instructions. Perform the Functional Test.
See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics
Replacement of the Weld Nut and Reinforcement
1. Remove the interior trim panel to expose the suspect anchor point. 2. Determine if the weld nut
only or the weld nut and reinforcement and weld nut are missing. If the B- or C- or D-pillar safety
belt anchor nuts or
reinforcements are stripped or missing, they should be replaced with a new nut or reinforcement.
To install a missing weld nut only, proceed to Step 3.
3. Obtain a M12 weld nut and a standard washer. 4. Drill out two 8 mm (5/16 in) diameter holes
adjacent to the clearance hole. 5. Obtain a length of copper welding wire and feed through
clearance hole in door frame opening until it becomes visible at the access hole. 6. Pull the wire
through so that it may be secured to the weld nut and washer. 7. Pull the wire back up to the weld
nut clearance hole. 8. Hold the weld nut securely in place. Use the MIG Wire Feed Welder
106-00053 to plug weld the nut in place at the two 8 mm (5/16 in) diameter
holes previously drilled.
9. Metal finish as required.
10. Verify the nut is securely in place.
Safety Belt Tongue Rotated on Belt
1. Fold the safety belt as indicated.
2. Pull the safety belt tongue over the fold in the safety belt.

Description and Operation
Seat Belt Extension: Description and Operation
In certain cases, the safety belt may be too short even when it is fully extended. About 20 cm (8 in)
can be added to the belt length by using a safety belt extension. Safety belt extensions are
available through any Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer parts department at no cost. Safety belt
extensions are only available with black webbing. There are two extension assemblies available
one for the front seating positions and one for the rear seating positions. They are not
interchangeable. Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety belt.
Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on the label. Also, use the safety
belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended. Do not use extension
to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation
Automatic Locking Retraction (ALR) System
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 driver position, are
equipped with the ALR system. This system is used when installing a child safety seat in an
outboard seating position or when a tight lap/shoulder belt is desired by the occupant. 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 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.
The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat in the front passenger
and rear outboard passenger seating positions where dual locking mode retractors are provided.

ISSUE Some vehicles may experience a concern with the keyless entry keypad. In order to
properly diagnose the concern with the keyless entry keypad, it is important to identify whether the
keypad is a factory installed style (wired) or a Genuine Ford Accessory (GFA) radio frequency (RF)
style keypad.
ACTION Use the following Service Procedure to identify GFA RF keypads and provide diagnostic
service tips.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
IDENTIFICATION:
1. Production installed keyless entry keypads are mounted flush with the surface of the vehicle and
are wired directly to the module controlling the vehicle's keyless entry system. This style keypad
can be diagnosed using the appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14.
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Antitheft and Alarm Systems > Keyless Entry > Keyless
Entry Key-Pad > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Keyless Entry - Keypad Diagnostics > Page 8419
2. Dealer installed GFA RF keypads are adhesive backed and protrude approximately 1/2" (13
mm) from the surface of the vehicle and there are no specific diagnostics available in the WSM
(Figure 1).
NOTE
THIS RF KEYPAD WAS ALSO US[D IN PRODUCTION ON 2004 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES
BUILT PRIOR TO 12/3/2003. REFER TO WSM, SECTION 501-14 FOR RF KEYPAD
DIAGNOSTICS FOR THESE VEHICLES.
GENUINE FORD ACCESSORY KEYPAD DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
1. The keypad operates similarly to a remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter and is programmed
using a similar procedure.
Although the RF keypad is not specifically addressed in the WSM, the RKE transmitter
programming portion of the WSM, Section 501-14 can be used as a guide
NOTE
THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTONS ON THE KEYPAD MUST BE PRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY
DURING THE PROCEDURE IN ORDER FOR THE KEYPAD TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN
ADDITIONAL REMOTE TRANSMITTER.
Since the GFA RF keypad is essentially another RKE transmitter, the transmitter diagnostic
pinpoint tests in the vehicle's WSM can also be referenced even though the buttons serving the
lock / unlock functions will differ
2. The GFA RF keypad is serviced as an assembly. The internal battery cannot be replaced
separately.
3. If the master code or owner selectable code is lost or forgotten, the GFA RF keypad must be
replaced. These codes are not stored in any vehicle module (with the exception of 2004 F-Super
Duty vehicles produced prior to 12/3/2003).
4. The GFA RF keypad and all RKE transmitters (the number of transmitters allowable will vary by
vehicle) must be reprogrammed together anytime the keypad is replaced, an RKE transmitter is
replaced, or the module controlling the keyless entry system on the vehicle (GEM/SJB/VSM/DDM
etc.) is replaced.
NOTE
THERE IS AN EXCEPTION TO TIP 4 FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED
KEYHEAD TRANSMITTERS (IKTs) (FUSION/MILAN/ZEPHYR). THE GFA RF KEYPADS FOR
VEHICLES WITH IKTs MUST BE PROGRAMMED INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE IKTs. TURN
THE IGNITION FROM "OFF" TO "RUN" 8 TIMES WITHIN 10 SECONDS, WITH THE 8TH TIME
ENDING IN "RUN". THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE TO CONFIRM ENTERING
PROGRAMMING MODE. PRESS THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTON ON THE KEYPAD
SIMULTANEOUSLY TO SEND A LOCK SIGNAL. TURN IGNITION TO OFF. THE LOCKS WILL
CYCLE AGAIN TO INDICATE THE END OF THE PROGRAMMING MODE.
5. The keypad will normally illuminate for 5 seconds after one or more buttons are pressed, and the
illumination will immediately turn off if the 7-8 and 9-0 buttons are pressed simultaneously (lock all
doors). The keypad contains an optical sensor and will not illuminate under bright lighting
conditions. The keypad may only illuminate briefly in colder temperatures in order to maximize the
battery power available to transmit a lock/unlock signal. The temperature at which this occurs will
vary depending upon the keypad battery age and condition. Both of these conditions are a normal
function of the Power Save Mode and do not indicate a need to replace the keypad.
6. After entering the keypad code, the system may unlock the driver's door, lock it, then unlock it
again, and the keypad will not even briefly illuminate. This is the Alert Mode and is an indication
that battery power is very low and the keypad must be replaced.
7. The keypad also contains an Anti-scan feature. If the wrong code has been entered 7 times (35
consecutive button presses) the keypad is disabled for one minute and the keypad lamp will flash
during this time.

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

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

point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8447
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
NOTE
^ Dropped calls, bad connections, noisy audio, problems in certain geographic areas, problems at
the edge of coverage areas, same time-place each day or under bridges, tunnels, etc., usually
indicate a system or cellular carrier concern and are not the fault of the phone itself.
^ A customer initial call must be made from their home coverage area for proper activation of the
Ford Cellular System. There might be a slight delay in activation after leaving the dealership from
initial delivery.
^ The audio system does not operate when the portable cellular phone is in use because the
audio-mute feature will mute the audio system when a call is placed or received.
If there is a concern making calls on the portable convertible phone while it is connected to the
vehicle, check the following information first:
1. Make sure the portable convertible phone is turned ON. With the power button ON, the system
should be on while the ignition switch is in ACC or
RUN.
2. Make sure the customer is calling within the coverage area. No SVC will appear in the display if
the customer is calling from outside the coverage
area.
3. Check to see if the Roam indicator is on. If so, follow the roaming instructions in the User's
Guide 4. Check to see if the display reads Locked. If so, press Clr and enter the customer
three-digit unlock code. 5. Make sure the portable cellular phone is securely connected to the coil
cord and seated in the holder. 6. Check the coil cord connections in the console. 7. Check the
portable cellular phone antenna and Portable Support Electronics (PSE) module connections. 8.
Check the portable cellular phone system registration. Also, check to make sure that the portable
cellular phone is correctly programmed. Incorrect
programming can result in single system scanning, loss of speed dialing, loss of hands-free audio,
loss of auto redial, loss of dial tone multi- frequency tones, and the loss of other keypad/portable

System/Carrier Concerns
Dropped calls, bad connections, noisy audio, and other intermittent symptoms usually indicate a
system or cellular carrier concern, and are not the fault of the phone itself. Such symptoms may
occur in situations such as the following:
^ In certain geographic areas (for example areas of excessive foliage or hills) or at the edge of
coverage areas.
^ At the same place each day.
^ At the same time each day.
^ Under bridges, tunnels, in lower freeways, and in congested downtown areas.
If the customer phone exhibits any of the above symptoms or symptoms occur under the above
conditions, the customer or the dealer should contact customer assistance at their particular
cellular provider/carrier or call the 1-800 assistance number provided in the Ford Cellular System
Dealer Kit.
Other Possible Concerns
1. If, for some reason, the customer's electronic serial number was incorrectly recorded in the
carrier switch, the phone will not work. Call the 1-800
number in your dealer kit to check the electronic serial number.
2. A customer initial call must be made in his/her home coverage area for correct activation of the
Ford Cellular System. 3. A customer may have to wait until after 24 hours of the coverage
activation before making a call from outside of his/her home coverage area or the
phone might be reported stolen and coverage stopped.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General
Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8535
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General
Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8536
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Multifunction Electronic Control Module <--> [General
Module] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8537
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Multifunction Electronic Control Module: Description and Operation
The multi function modules consist of the following:
^ Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
The Generic Electronic Module (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).
The ignition switch position is very important to the GEM function. Often times, erratic or
unexpected GEM function can be traced to problems with these GEM inputs.
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.
^ Heated backlite/mirror.

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.

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

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

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

NOTE
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.

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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8658
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test

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

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

frame wax from all areas where there is hitch- or
nut plate-to-frame contact. This includes:
^ the inside areas of the hitch.
^ the inside and outside areas of the frame web.
^ the upper and lower areas of the frame flanges.
CAUTION To avoid cross threading the bolts into the nut plates, start each bolt by hand and be
sure it is threading properly into the nut plate.
CAUTION Do not final tighten any bolts until all have been installed. Be sure to tighten the
horizontal bolts first (Step 7) before tightening the vertical bolts (Step 8).

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8805
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8806
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8807
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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

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

ISSUE Some vehicles may experience a concern with the keyless entry keypad. In order to
properly diagnose the concern with the keyless entry keypad, it is important to identify whether the
keypad is a factory installed style (wired) or a Genuine Ford Accessory (GFA) radio frequency (RF)
style keypad.
ACTION Use the following Service Procedure to identify GFA RF keypads and provide diagnostic
service tips.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
IDENTIFICATION:
1. Production installed keyless entry keypads are mounted flush with the surface of the vehicle and
are wired directly to the module controlling the vehicle's keyless entry system. This style keypad
can be diagnosed using the appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-14.
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Key-Pad > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Keyless Entry - Keypad Diagnostics > Page 9054
2. Dealer installed GFA RF keypads are adhesive backed and protrude approximately 1/2" (13
mm) from the surface of the vehicle and there are no specific diagnostics available in the WSM
(Figure 1).
NOTE
THIS RF KEYPAD WAS ALSO US[D IN PRODUCTION ON 2004 F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES
BUILT PRIOR TO 12/3/2003. REFER TO WSM, SECTION 501-14 FOR RF KEYPAD
DIAGNOSTICS FOR THESE VEHICLES.
GENUINE FORD ACCESSORY KEYPAD DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
1. The keypad operates similarly to a remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter and is programmed
using a similar procedure.
Although the RF keypad is not specifically addressed in the WSM, the RKE transmitter
programming portion of the WSM, Section 501-14 can be used as a guide
NOTE
THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTONS ON THE KEYPAD MUST BE PRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY
DURING THE PROCEDURE IN ORDER FOR THE KEYPAD TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN
ADDITIONAL REMOTE TRANSMITTER.
Since the GFA RF keypad is essentially another RKE transmitter, the transmitter diagnostic
pinpoint tests in the vehicle's WSM can also be referenced even though the buttons serving the
lock / unlock functions will differ
2. The GFA RF keypad is serviced as an assembly. The internal battery cannot be replaced
separately.
3. If the master code or owner selectable code is lost or forgotten, the GFA RF keypad must be
replaced. These codes are not stored in any vehicle module (with the exception of 2004 F-Super
Duty vehicles produced prior to 12/3/2003).
4. The GFA RF keypad and all RKE transmitters (the number of transmitters allowable will vary by
vehicle) must be reprogrammed together anytime the keypad is replaced, an RKE transmitter is
replaced, or the module controlling the keyless entry system on the vehicle (GEM/SJB/VSM/DDM
etc.) is replaced.
NOTE
THERE IS AN EXCEPTION TO TIP 4 FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED
KEYHEAD TRANSMITTERS (IKTs) (FUSION/MILAN/ZEPHYR). THE GFA RF KEYPADS FOR
VEHICLES WITH IKTs MUST BE PROGRAMMED INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE IKTs. TURN
THE IGNITION FROM "OFF" TO "RUN" 8 TIMES WITHIN 10 SECONDS, WITH THE 8TH TIME
ENDING IN "RUN". THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE TO CONFIRM ENTERING
PROGRAMMING MODE. PRESS THE 7-8 AND 9-0 BUTTON ON THE KEYPAD
SIMULTANEOUSLY TO SEND A LOCK SIGNAL. TURN IGNITION TO OFF. THE LOCKS WILL
CYCLE AGAIN TO INDICATE THE END OF THE PROGRAMMING MODE.
5. The keypad will normally illuminate for 5 seconds after one or more buttons are pressed, and the
illumination will immediately turn off if the 7-8 and 9-0 buttons are pressed simultaneously (lock all
doors). The keypad contains an optical sensor and will not illuminate under bright lighting
conditions. The keypad may only illuminate briefly in colder temperatures in order to maximize the
battery power available to transmit a lock/unlock signal. The temperature at which this occurs will
vary depending upon the keypad battery age and condition. Both of these conditions are a normal
function of the Power Save Mode and do not indicate a need to replace the keypad.
6. After entering the keypad code, the system may unlock the driver's door, lock it, then unlock it
again, and the keypad will not even briefly illuminate. This is the Alert Mode and is an indication
that battery power is very low and the keypad must be replaced.
7. The keypad also contains an Anti-scan feature. If the wrong code has been entered 7 times (35
consecutive button presses) the keypad is disabled for one minute and the keypad lamp will flash
during this time.

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Mirrors > Heated Element, Mirror > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9119
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Mirrors > Heated Element, Mirror > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9120
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Mirrors > Heated Element, Mirror > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9121
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

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 Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Customer Interest for Paint: > 99-12-10 > Jun > 99 > Paint - Rough Texture > Page 9151
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.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > Page 9172
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.

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 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
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 9363
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

^ 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

ISSUE
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.

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.

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

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

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9716
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9717
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9718
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9797
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9798
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9799
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit an inoperative or inaccurate speedometer, 4x4 lamp illuminated, and/or
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) P1635 or P1639 present after a Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) or Instrument Cluster replacement. This may be caused by the Vehicle Identification (VID)
block that must be programmed when replacing the PCM.
ACTION
As part of the calibration, there is an area referred to as the Vehicle Identification (VID) block. The
VID block must be programmed when replacing the PCM. Failure to perform the proper
Programmable Module Installation procedure may generate fault code: P1639 VID Block not
programmed or is corrupt--P1635 Tire/Axle Out Of Acceptable Range. Refer to the following
procedures to ensure the PCM is properly configured.

updated.
Procedure C - If the VID block is not correctly programmed - but has some data stored in it, the
NGS Service Function Card may not be able to configure the PCM due to the need to reprogram
the module
1. Create an NGS Flash Card with the correct calibration (Tear Tag).
2. Start the reprogramming process. (you will be notified that the vehicle already has the latest
calibration).
3. Select CANCEL - you will be given the opportunity to update PCM parameters (Vehicle ID block
data).

Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
SERVICE ENGINE SOON
Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine's emission control system. This
is commonly known as the On Board Diagnostic System (OBD II). This OBD II system protects the
environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The
OBD II system also assists the service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.
The SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON
position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is started, on of the engine's emission
control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern
being noted. The vehicle will ususally be drivable and will not require towing.

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

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

A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 10025
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.

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.

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

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10083
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10084
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10085
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10242
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10243
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a

Information and Instructions > Page 10244
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10278
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10279
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution

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

HOW TO FIND ELECTRICAL CONCERNS
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
These six steps present an orderly method of troubleshooting.
Step 1. Verify the concern.
- Operate the complete system to check the accuracy and completeness of the customer's
complaint.
Step 2. Narrow the concern.
- Using the wiring diagrams, narrow down the possible causes and locations of the concern to
pinpoint the exact cause.
- Read the description notes at the components and study the wiring schematic. You should then
know enough about the circuit operation to determine where to check for the trouble.
Step 3. Test the suspected cause.
- Use electrical test procedures to find the specific cause of the symptoms.
- The component location reference bars and the pictures will help you find components.
Component location information for connectors, diodes, resistors, splices and grounds can be
found at Vehicle Locations.
Step 4. Verify the cause.
- Confirm that you have found the correct cause by connecting jumper wires and/or temporarily
installing a known good component and operating the circuit.
Step 5. Make the repair.
- Repair or replace the inoperative component.
Step 6. Verify the repair.
- Operate the system as in Step 1 and check that your repair has removed all symptoms without
creating any new symptoms.
Some engine circuits may need special test equipment and special procedures. See Testing and
Inspection for the specific component, system, or sub-system in question.
NOTE: Most Ford testing and inspection procedures will be found at the system/sub-system level;
only a few component tests are provided by OE.
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
JUMPER WIRE
This is a test lead used to connect two points of a circuit. A Jumper Wire can bypass an open to
complete a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across loads (motors,etc.) connected between hot and
ground. This direct battery short may cause injury or fire.
VOLTMETER
A DC Voltmeter measures circuit voltage. Connect negative (- or black) lead to ground, and
positive (+ or red) lead to voltage measuring point.
OHMMETER
An Ohmmeter shows the resistance between two connected points.
TEST LAMP
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10487
A Test Light is a 12-volt bulb with two test leads. Uses: Voltage Check, Short Check.
SELF-POWERED TEST LAMP
The Self-Powered Test Lamp is a bulb, battery and set of test leads wired in series. When
connected to two points of a continuous circuit, the bulb glows. Uses: Continuity Check, Ground
Check.
CAUTION: When using a self -powered test lamp or ohmmeter; be sure power is off in circuit
during testing. Hot circuits can cause equipment damage and false readings.
In an inoperative circuit with a switch in series with the load, jumper the terminals of the switch to
power the load. If jumpering the terminals powers the circuit, the switch is inoperative.
CONTINUITY CHECK (Locating open circuits)
Connect one lead of Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to each end of circuit. Lamp will glow if
circuit is closed. Switches and fuses can be checked in the same way.
VOLTAGE CHECK
Connect one lead of test lamp to a known good ground or the negative (-) battery terminal. Test for
voltage by touching the other lead to the test
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10488
point. Bulb goes on when the test point has voltage.
SHORT CHECK
A fuse that repeatedly blows is usually caused by a short to ground. It's important to be able to
locate such a short quickly. 1. Turn off everything powered through the fuse. 2. Disconnect other
loads powered through the fuse:
- Motors: disconnect motor connector (Connector C4).
- Lights: remove bulbs.
3. Turn Ignition Switch to RUN (if necessary) to power fuse. 4. Connect one Test Lamp lead to hot
end of blown fuse. Connect other lead to ground. Bulb should glow, showing power to fuse. This
step is
just a check to be sure you have power to the circuit)
5. Disconnect the test lamp lead that is connected to ground, and reconnect it to the load side of
the fuse at the connector of the disconnected
component. (Connect the test lamp lead to connector C4). If the Test Lamp is off, the short is in the disconnected component.
- If the Test Lamp goes on, the short is in the wiring. You must find the short by disconnecting the
circuit connectors, one at a time, until the Test Lamp goes out. For example, with a ground at X,
the bulb goes out when C1 or C2 is disconnected, but not after disconnecting C3. This means the
short is between C2 and C3.
GROUND CHECK
Turn on power to the circuit. Perform a Voltage Check between the suspected inoperative ground
and the frame. Any indicated voltage means that the ground is inoperative.
Turn off power to the circuit. Connect one lead of a Self-Powered Test Lamp or Ohmmeter to the
wire in question and the other lead to a known ground. If the bulb glows, the circuit ground is OK.
DIAGRAMS These diagrams make it easy to identify common points in circuits. This knowledge
can help narrow the concern to a specific area. For example, if several circuits fail at the same
time, check for a common power or ground connection (see Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams). If part of a
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10489
circuit fails, check the connections between the part that works and the part that doesn't work.
For example, if the lo beam headlamps work, but the high beams and the indicator lamp don't
work, then power and ground paths must be good. Since the dimmer switch is the component that
switches this power to the high beam lights and indicator, it is most likely the cause of failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING HARNESS AND CONNECTOR HIDDEN CONCERNS
The following illustrations are known examples of wiring harness, splices and connectors that will
create intermittent electrical concerns. The concerns are hidden and can only be discovered by a
physical evaluation as shown in each illustration.
NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

This article supersedes TSB 04-18-9 to update vehicle applications and service procedure.
ISSUE Some vehicles may exhibit inoperative electric rear window defroster (heated back lite) grid
lines, integral antenna concerns causing radio reception issues or terminal tabs pulled from the
rear window glass.
ACTION Follow the diagnostic and repair procedures included in this article to inspect and service
rear defroster grid lines, integral antenna concerns or broken terminal tabs.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Warrantable/Non Warrantable repairs
Warrantable grid line repairs typically can be identified by one inoperative grid line with a small
discoloration at the area of concern, approximately the size of a pinhead. Grid line(s) that are
scratched or have the silver material removed are not warrantable and should be addressed with
the customer. Replacement of backglass for grid line or bus bar tarnishing is not a warrantable
repair. Tarnishing of the silver lines or bus bars is a normal condition. Please refer to the Heated
Back Lite Damageability Job Aid for additional information and examples of defects and damage.
NOTE
THE GRID LINE MATERIAL IS NOT EMBEDDED INTO THE GLASS BUT IS BAKED TO THE
GLASS SURFACE AND CONSEQUENTLY CAN BE SCRAPED OFF. INOPERATIVE LINES MAY
APPEAR TO THE EYE TO BE UNDAMAGED DUE TO RESIDUE REMAINING ON
Ford Expedition 4wd Workshop Manual (V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Rear Defogger > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C/Audio - Defroster/Antenna Grid Diagnosis/Repair > Page 10646
THE GLASS AND WILL REQUIRE DIAGNOSIS WITH A VOLTMETER OR 12V TEST LAMP AS
EXPLAINED IN THIS ARTICLE.
Examples Of Non-Warrantable Grid Line Damage
^ Ice scraper damage to grid lines
^ Animal scratches on grid lines
^ Window tint film/removal of the film which damages grid lines
^ Stickers placed over grids which upon removal, removes the grid line material
^ License plate (steel type placed against the inside of back glass) which rubs on the grid line
causing damage
^ Temporary license plate (paper stuck on to the inside of the back glass) which upon removal
removes grid line material
^ Cargo or lumber rubbing against the glass which removes grid line material
^ Cellular phone antenna installation/removal which damages grid line material
NOTE
AN UNDAMAGED GRIDLINE WILL HAVE SMALL RIDGES THAT PROJECT ABOVE THE
SURFACE OF THE GLASS AND CAN EASILY BE FELT WHEN RUNNING A FINGERNAIL
ACROSS THEM.
GRIDLINES THAT HAVE BEEN "RAZOR BLADED" WILL FEEL SMOOTH WHEN A FINGERNAIL
IS DRAGGED ACROSS THE AFFECTED AREA. THERE MAY BE SOME RESIDUE LEFT ON
THE GLASS THAT APPEARS TO BE GRID MATERIAL BUT A CHECK WITH A VOLTMETER OR
12V TEST LAMP, AS EXPLAINED IN THIS ARTICLE, WILL CONFIRM AN OPEN CIRCUIT. GRID
LINE INOPERATIVE - DIAGNOSTICS
1. Reference Workshop Manual Section 501-11 and the Wiring Diagram Section 56 to verify power
and ground to the back-glass.
2. Connect a test lamp or DVOM to a good body ground.
3. Turn the ignition key to the run position and depress and release the rear defroster button to turn
the system on. THE GRID IS ENERGIZED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES EACH TIME
THE DEFROSTER BUTTON IS PRESSED.
4. Starting from the top grid line at the center of the back-glass, touch the test lamp or DVOM +
lead to each grid line. (Use caution not to damage grid lines). The DVOM should read
approximately 1/2 of the battery voltage on each line at the center of the back-glass. If using a test
light, the bulb should be approximately the same brightness on each line from top to bottom. If the
DVOM or light indicates a high voltage or no voltage on any grid line, move along the concern grid
line with the + test lead or test lamp until the voltage changes suddenly. This is the area of
concern, use chalk to mark the area of concern and mark the outside of the glass at that same
area.
5. Repair per the Grid Line Repair Procedure.
GRID LINE REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE
LONG GAPS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS DUE TO DAMAGE AND ARE NOT WARRANTABLE,
HOWEVER THEY CAN BE REPAIRED. THE LONGER THE GAP THE MORE IMPORTANT IT IS
TO APPLY A MINIMUM SIX (6) COATS OF CONDUCTIVE REPAIR MATERIAL WITH THE FIVE
(5) MINUTE DRY TIME BETWEEN EACH COAT. APPLYING LESS COATS OR NOT ALLOWING
DRY TIME BETWEEN COATS WILL PRODUCE REPAIRED RESISTANCE THAT IS GREATER
THAN OEM RESISTANCE, RESULTING IN POOR DEFROST PERFORMANCE AND
EXCESSIVE LOCALIZED HEATING. REPAIRED LONG GAPS ARE GENERALLY NOT
VISUALLY PLEASING UNLESS EXTREME CARE IS TAKEN WHEN TAPING AFFECTED GRID
LINE AREAS.
NOTE
IF THE BROWN COLOR UNDER THE GRID LINE IS DAMAGED OR MISSING (THIS IS VERY
RARE), IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO APPLY BROWN ACRYLIC LACQUER TOUCH-UP PAINT
FOR COLOR MATCH. THIS PAINT MUST MEET SPECIFICATION ESR-M2P100-C AND
SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE GLASS PRIOR TO APPLYING THE REAR WINDOW
DEFROSTER REPAIR COMPOUND.

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

A/C/Audio - Defroster/Antenna Grid Diagnosis/Repair > Page 10648
TIME TO MATCH THE REST OF THE GRID.
5. After five (5) minutes of dry time of the final coat of grid repair compound, remove the tape, step
outside and inspect the repaired area. If the repair compound is visible above or below the grid, the
excess can be removed. This may be done by placing a single-edge razor blade on the back
window glass parallel to grid and scrape gently toward grid. A wider/thicker line will perform better
but may not be cosmetically appealing.
CAUTION
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE GRID LINE WITH RAZOR BLADE. VERIFY ALL OF THE GRID
LINES FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN FINISHED.
Curing
The service coating will air-dry in approximately one (1) minute and the system can be energized
after five minutes. Maximum hardness and adhesion occur after approximately 24 hours.
SOLDER METHOD OF LEAD TERMINAL
NOTE
THE REAR WINDOW MUST BE AT A MINIMUM OF 60° F (16° C) BEFORE A REPAIR IS MADE.
PLACE PROTECTIVE COVERING OVER THE PACKAGE TRAY AS NECESSARY.
The new terminal will cover the original terminal location, but must be placed so that the new
terminal conductive areas will be placed on a good conductive base. This area should be cleaned
with steel wool or an abrasive pad to remove grime from the buss-bar. The area should then be
cleaned with Ultra Clear Spray Glass Cleaner, ZC-23, or equivalent meeting Ford specification
ESR-M14P5-A to remove all dirt, wax, grease, oil or other foreign matter. It is important that the
repair area be clean and dry and appear metallic. Depending on the buss-bar condition, rigorous
polishing with steel wool may be required. Please note that the entire buss-bar may be cleaned to
improve appearance.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF FLAME TORCH OR FLAME HEATED SOLDERING GUN FOR THIS
PROCEDURE. TESTING INDICATED INADEQUATE HEAT GENERATION AT THE TIP AND THE
EXHAUST HEAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO PLASTIC TRIM PARTS IN THE AREA. USE ONLY
AN ELECTRIC SOLDERING GUN WITH 100 WATTS OR MORE OF POWER.
BEFORE USING THE SOLDERING GUN, BE SURE TO MELT A SMALL AMOUNT OF ROSIN
CORE SOLDER TO THE TIP. THE SOLDER WILL ASSIST IN ACHIEVING BETTER HEAT
TRANSFER FROM THE SOLDERING GUN TIP TO THE NEW TERMINAL.
The new terminal has pre-applied solder, flux and temperature sensitive paint. The paint provides a
visual indication when the terminal has reached the proper temperature to melt the solder on the
terminal. When the proper temperature is achieved the temperature paint will liquefy and change
color.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Rear Defogger > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C/Audio - Defroster/Antenna Grid Diagnosis/Repair > Page 10649
Use terminal type A (Figure 2) for all tab locations except on the Focus vehicle line. For the Focus,
use type B (Figure 3).
NOTE
DEPENDING ON THE ORIGINAL TERMINAL LOCATION, AND WHETHER THE TERMINAL IS
COVERED BY PILLAR TRIM, WILL DETERMINE WHERE TO LOCATE THE NEW TERMINAL.
SOME GRID LINE BUSS-BARS MAY ONLY ALLOW THE PLACEMENT OF THE TERMINAL
ABOVE OR BELOW THE ORIGINAL TAB LOCATION DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS, BUT FOR
MOST VEHICLE APPLICATIONS THE REPLACEMENT TAB LOCATION WILL COVER THE
ORIGINAL TAB LOCATION BUT STILL ALLOW THE REPLACEMENT TAB TO ATTACH TO THE
BUSS-BAR ON GOOD CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL.
1. Place the replacement terminal over the original tab location making sure the conductive areas
of the terminal will be on a good conductive area. Do not place the terminal tab foot on the original
location which does not have conductive material (figure 4).
2. Hold the terminal in place with an item such as regular lead pencil at a 90 degree angle from the
terminal. (Terminal type B can be held in place with tape.) (Holding at other than a 90 degree angle
may allow the terminal to slip when the solder liquefies).
3. Place the soldering gun tip on the top of the terminal but not on the painted areas of the tab.
Energize the soldering gun and watch for the painted area of the terminal to liquefy and change
color. The paint should liquefy in approximately 25-45 seconds after heating. As soon as the paint
color completely changes on either side of the terminal, de-energize the soldering gun and
continue to hold the terminal in place with the soldering gun and pencil for an additional thirty (30)
seconds.
4. Remove the soldering gun and pencil from the terminal. The terminal should be allowed to cool
for another two (2) minutes before the wiring lead is attached to the terminal.
5. Attach the electrical lead connection to this terminal, turn on the rear defroster, and verify
operation.
