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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment > General
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 89
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 90
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment > General
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 91
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.

General Module: Description and Operation
NOTE
- Each vehicle has either a Generic Electronic Module (GEM) or Central Timer Module (CTM). The
difference in functionality is defined in the GEM/CTM Feature Matrix.
- The GEM/CTM inputs and outputs are designed to withstand continuous exposure to a short
circuit to ground or battery voltage without being damaged.
The multifunction modules consist of the following:
- Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module
- Central Timer Module (CTM) with diagnostic connector
- Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
GEM/CTM Feature Matrix
Ignition Switch Positions The position of the ignition switch is very important to proper GEM/CTM
operation. Often times, erratic or unexpected operation can be traced to problems on these
GEM/CTM inputs. The following is a brief description of five ignition switch positions.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM/CTM
RUN and RUN/ACC input terminals.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM/CTM
RUN/ACC input terminal only.
When the ignition switch is in the START position, battery voltage should be present at the
GEM/CTM start/clutch depressed input.
The GEM module does not have an OFF or LOCK switch state input. The GEM will assume the
OFF or LOCK position when there are no RUN, ACC, or START signals present.

Battery Discharge Protection Relay: Description and Operation
The following components are under the control of the battery saver relay:
^ Delayed accessory relay.
^ Overhead interior lamp with map lamps.
^ Underhood lamp switch.
^ Glove box lamp switch.
^ Overhead interior lamp switch.
^ Interior lamp relay coil.
The battery saver relay becomes active (relay coil is energized) when the GEM is in awake mode
and is deactivated (relay coil is de-energized) in sleep mode.
The battery saver will remain active until the ignition state is not ACC or RUN and 45 minutes have
passed since last active input. At that time, the relay will be deactivated and power to the above
circuits will terminate.
Five minutes after the battery saver relay has become deactivated, the GEM will go into a lower
power state known as sleep mode. In the sleep mode, the GEM will deactivate all outputs and will
monitor select inputs.
Logical characteristics of the GEM battery saver mode are as follows:
Feature Inputs:
^ Sleep/Awake mode status.
Feature Outputs:
^ Battery saver relay control (Open circuit in sleep mode, grounded when awake).

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.

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.

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 > 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 319
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 320
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

and Instructions > Page 321
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.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 361
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 362
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Instructions > Page 363
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.

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 serviced separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, the RCM will 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 the two-digit
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 DLC,
using the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the
system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the GEM to activate an audible chime. The
chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag
indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will
be displayed.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors determine that an air bag deployment is required. The backup power supply will
deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected.

^ 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

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

Service Bulletins: > 01-14-1 > Jul > 01 > Transfer Case - Inadvertent Shifts > Page 426
^ 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.

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
The brake master cylinder fluid level warning switch is an integral part of the brake master cylinder
reservoir. It consists of a float containing a magnet and a reed switch mounted in the bottom of the
brake master cylinder reservoir.
When the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir gets to a predetermined level, the
floating magnet actuates the reed switch, causing the red brake warning indicator to illuminate.
Loss of brake fluid from either the primary (front) hydraulic circuit or secondary (rear) hydraulic
circuit will cause the warning indicator to activate. If the brake fluid level warning switch is
inoperative, the brake master cylinder reservoir must be installed new.

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.

> Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Recalls for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08
> Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 561
Disconnect the SCDS and inspect the harness connector (See Figure 3) for the presence of brake
fluid.
^ All vehicles except 1993 Mark VIII: If there is no evidence of brake fluid on the connector, install a
Fused Jumper Harness.
- On 1993 Mark VIII vehicles with no evidence of brake fluid on the SCDS harness connector,
replace the Speed Control Deactivation Switch but do not inspect or apply electrical grease to the
speed control servo connector.
^ If there is evidence of brake fluid on the connector, replace the Speed Control Deactivation
Switch, inspect and apply electrical grease to the appropriate connectors.
FUSED JUMPER HARNESS (FJH) INSTALLATION
1. Connect the fused jumper harness to the SCDS and the vehicle harness.
2. Secure the jumper harness to the existing harness with tie straps, making sure the fuse holders
are positioned vertically with the cap facing upward. Wrap the tie straps underneath, then over the
top of the existing harness and verify proper fuse holder orientation. See Figure 4.
SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (SCDS) REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
The brake pedal must not be depressed during the removal and replacement of the SCDS.
1. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder and, if necessary, fill to maximum fluid level.
NOTICE:
DO NOT apply fluid to the electrical connector or damage to the connector may occur.
NOTICE:
The 1994 Capri Brake Repair Kit contains a brass sealing washer. Install the brass washer onto the
SCDS before installing it on the vehicle.

> Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Recalls for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08
> Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 562
2. Add a few drops of Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, PM1-1 or
PM-1-C (US), CPM-1-C (Canada), to the fluid port at the threaded end of the new SCDS. See
Figure 5.
NOTICE:
Do not allow any foreign material to enter the master cylinder port once the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
Call the Special Service Support Center for assistance if brake fluid does not flow from the SCDS
fitting when the SCDS is removed.
NOTE:
If the new SCDS is not installed immediately after the original switch is removed, the master
cylinder brake fluid could drop below the minimum level and air could enter the brake system. If this
should occur, air must be bled from the brake system at all 4 wheels. In this situation, the labor to
bleed the brake system will not be covered under this program.
3. Remove the SCDS.
4. With the brake fluid reservoir cap removed, observe for brake fluid dripping/draining from the
SCDS fitting. As soon as brake fluid begins to bleed from the fitting, install the new SCDS.
5. Tighten the new SCDS as follows:
^ 18 Nm (159 lb-in) - all vehicles except 1994 Capri.
^ 13 Nm (115 lb-in) - 1994 Capri.
6. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder, fill to maximum fluid level and install the brake
fluid reservoir cap.
7. Disconnect the speed control servo and inspect the vehicle harness connector for heat damage.
See Figure 6.
^ If no heat damage is found at the speed control servo connector (even if there is presence of
brake fluid in the connector), proceed to the next step.
^ If the speed control servo connector is heat damaged, call the Special Service Support Center for
further instructions.
8. With the speed control servo disconnected, use shop air only to blow the SCDS harness
electrical connector and the servo connector dry of any trace of brake fluid. Do not use any type of
solvent to clean the connectors.

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

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

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

> Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Brake Switch (Cruise Control): >
05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 597
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.

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 the 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 2,999-3,276 kPa (435-475 psi),
the switch contacts open, disengaging the A/C compressor.
- When the pressure drops to approximately 1,585-2,000 kPa (230-290 psi), the contacts close to
allow operation of the A/C compressor.
- It is not necessary to discharge 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 151-173 kPa (22-25 psi).
- The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 268-324 kPa (39-47 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 discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.

Hazard Warning Switch: Diagnostic Aids
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 - Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 708
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.

Hazard Warning Switch: Description and Operation
The integrated multifunction switch is mounted to the LH side of the steering column and controls
the turn signal, headlamp dimmer/flash-to-pass, windshield wiper/washer and hazard warning.
The ignition switch is mounted below the steering column and is activated using the ignition key
and rotating the key lock cylinder on the steering column.
If equipped with manual transmission, the key release lever prevents rotation of the ignition cylinder
to LOCK or ACC positions unless the lever is depressed.

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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

If you suspect that a vehicle (engine) may have had the synchronizer assembly (Figure 3) installed
incorrectly, check the vehicle history to see if related service has been performed. If you determine

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

ISSUE Some Bi-Fuel vehicles may exhibit DTC's for high Oxygen Sensor voltage (P0132 and
P0152). Current diagnostics may result in premature replacement of the Compuvalve.
ACTION If an Oxygen Sensor code is set, the current diagnostics direct the Compuvalve to be
replaced it no faults are detected when Pinpoint Test H is conducted. The modified repair action
outlined below gives additional test procedures if nothing is detected from Pinpoint Test H.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Prior to clearing any codes, to aid in diagnostics of intermittent failures, access and record the
freeze frame data using the NGS Tester.
2. At step H4 of the pinpoint test, it Oxygen Sensor PIDS (H02S11 and H02521) are within
specification (see table in Section H of PC/ED Manual), clear codes and road test the vehicle in
alternative fuel using the freeze frame data (from above) to duplicate conditions that triggered the
code. During the road test, monitor Oxygen Sensor PIDs for both banks in both the PCM and the
AFCM.
NOTE
A SECOND TECHNICIAN SHOULD MONITOR THE PIDS WHILE THE OTHER DRIVES. IF THE
CODE/CONCERN CANNOT BE DUPLICATED, REFER TO PINPOINT TEST Z OF THE BASE
VEHICLE PC/ED.
3. If the concern is duplicated, and if voltage is outside of specifications in both the AFCM and the
PCM, the fault is in the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor circuit. Refer to base vehicle
diagnostics.
4. If the voltage is outside of specifications in the AFCM only, replace the Compuvalve.

Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 924
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.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 933
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN
THIS EXAMPLE FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY. ON AN ACTUAL VEHICLE, SPLICE NAMES WILL
DEPEND ON THE CIRCUIT NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR. NOTE ALSO THAT
THIS FIGURE IS NOT INTENDED TO SHOW ALL SPLICES/CONNECTIONS ON ALL
VEHICLES. OTHER EEC CIRCUITS, NOT SHOWN, MAY ALSO BE SPLICED IN WITH THE
CIRCUITS SHOWN.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 934
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 >
Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 935
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 >
Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 936
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 > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 950
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 951
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 952
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 997
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 998
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 999
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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

10. Press the start button and view both the CKP sensor as well as the CMP sensor signals.
Figures 6, 7 and 8).
11. Compare the wave forms of both sensors.
^ The missing tooth of the CKP sensor trigger wheel will be shown on the screen as an extra space
between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

10. Press the start button and view both the CKP sensor as well as the CMP sensor signals.
Figures 6, 7 and 8).
11. Compare the wave forms of both sensors.
^ The missing tooth of the CKP sensor trigger wheel will be shown on the screen as an extra space
between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

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

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

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

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

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 generant 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.
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.

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.

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1335
^ 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.

Runout Out of round and wobble.
Rustling Intermittent sound of varying frequency (100-200 Hz), sounds similar to shuffling through
leaves.
Shake A low-frequency vibration (5-20 Hz), usually with visible component movement. Usually
relates to tires, wheels, brake drums or brake discs if it is vehicle speed sensitive, or engine if it is
engine speed sensitive. Also referred to as a shimmy or wobble.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1341
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 1342
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1343
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 > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1345
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1349
^ 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

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1350
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1351
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 > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1352
^ 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1353
^ 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.

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 1423
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

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

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.

Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed
from the side. The caster specifications will give the vehicle the best directional stability
characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.

Wheel Track
WHEEL TRACK
Dogtracking
DOGTRACKING
Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
WANDER
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel
corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
SHIMMY
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel
resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire
contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
NIBBLE
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various
road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel.
POOR RETURNABILITY/STICKY STEERING
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to described the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
DRIFT/PULL
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1434
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel. ^
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (i.e., wind, road camber).
POOR GROOVE FEEL
Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the steering gear as
the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or straight-ahead
(under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center. " ^
Under 20 degrees of turn, most of the turning effort that builds up comes from the mesh of gear
teeth in the steering gear. In this range, the steering wheel is not yet turned enough to feel the
effort from the self-aligning forces at the road wheel or tire patch.
^ In the diagnosis of a roadability problem, it is important to understand the difference between
wander and poor groove feel.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
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 Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of Super Premium SAE
5W30 Motor Oil, X0-5W30-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.
- If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty.
- If compression does not improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly.
- 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.

4.6L, 5.4L Belt, Drive Tensioner/Belt Length Indicator Without A/C
Automatic tensioners are calibrated at the factory to provide the correct amount of tension to the
belt. Unless a spring within the tensioner assembly breaks or some other mechanical part of the
tensioner fails, there is no need to check tensioners for proper tension.
The only mechanical check that need be made, if you have any doubt about the tensioner function,
would be to remove the belt in the area of the tensioner, to avoid belt contact, then using the proper
tool, rotate the tensioner from its relaxed position through its full stroke and back to the relaxed
position to assure that there is no "stick, grab, bind," and to assure that there is tension on the
spring. It is a normal condition for the tensioner to be moving, under certain conditions, when the
engine is running. If the tensioner meets these criteria, it should be assumed to be a good
tensioner.
Drive Belt Misalignment
CAUTION: Incorrect drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may cause the
drive belt to come off the drive pulleys.
Non-standard replacement drive belts may track differently or improperly. If a replacement drive
belt tracks improperly, replace it with an original equipment drive belt to avoid performance failure
or loss of belt.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview > Page 1499
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
pulley front surfaces) for excessive wobble. Replace components as required.
- Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting properly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck belt tracking,
- Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.

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

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

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Replacement of the 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 the 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 Scharder-type valve stem core is installed in the fitting so that the A/C pressure cut-off
switch can be removed without discharging the A/C system.

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

Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 1590
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 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 1680
Ford Motor Company has approved the Rotunda Deluxe A/C Refrigerant Analyzer (198-00003) for
use on Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles (Figure 1). The analyzer provides the technician with a
quick and easy way to identify the type and percentage of refrigerant (R-134a, R-12, R-22, or
flammable hydrocarbon). The analyzer can also provide the percentage of air in the A/C system
and automatically purge air from the system.
The A/C Refrigerant Analyzer is designed to identify vapor gas samples taken directly from
automotive air conditioning systems or refrigerant storage cylinders. Refrigerant vapor passes
through the multiple sensor Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensing unit. The microprocessor
calculates each refrigerant type and purity percentage which is displayed on the analyzer's Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD).
The analyzer identifies the purity percentage of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbon; and air in the
sample. If the purity percentage of the R-134a or R-12 is 98% or greater by weight, a green
"PASS" Light Emitting Diode (LED) will light. If refrigerants R-134a or R-12 do not meet 98% purity
levels, the red "FAIL" LED will light. Levels of R-22 and flammable hydrocarbons above 2% will
light the red "FAIL" light. If a hydrocarbon is detected above 5%, both the "FAIL" light and
"HYDROCARBON" light will illuminate and a horn will sound alerting the user of potential hazards.
The percent of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a or R-12 content is 98% or
above. The analyzer eliminates the effect of air

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C - Identification of Non Approved Refrigerants > Page 1681
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.

WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15
minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse
the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a
painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air
may get into the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the
hydraulic system after it has been properly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually
or with pressure bleeding equipment.
1. Clean all dirt from and remove the brake master cylinder filler cap and fill the brake master
cylinder reservoir with the specified brake fluid.
2. Place a box end wrench on the RH rear bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain tube to the RH rear

Circuit Breaker: Diagnostic Aids
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Circuit Breaker > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1720
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Circuit Breaker > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1721
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Circuit Breaker > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1722
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 > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1742
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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1743
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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1744
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 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.

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.

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

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:

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Page 1858
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.

Page 1859
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

Page 1862
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> All Technical Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure >
Page 1866
^ 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.

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

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

> All Technical Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure >
Page 1870
^ 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.

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.

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

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

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.

1972
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.

1973
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

1976
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins
> All Other Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page
1980
^ 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

1981
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:

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.

^ 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.

^ 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.

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

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.

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 2103
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

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

engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.

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 2107
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.

Procedure > Page 2110
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2111
^ 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.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2113
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.

Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2114
^ 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 > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2115
^ 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.

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

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.

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 2217
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.

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

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

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

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

Procedure > Page 2224
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2225
^ 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.

Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2227
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.

Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2228
^ 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 > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2229
^ 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.

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 2315
^ 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2321
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 2322
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

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2325
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2329
^ 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 2330
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2331
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 2332
^ 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 > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2333
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

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

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 2403
^ 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.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
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 Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of Super Premium SAE
5W30 Motor Oil, X0-5W30-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.
- If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty.
- If compression does not improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly.
- 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.

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.
3. Remove all intake and exhaust lash adjusters from the engine and replace with service-only
Lash Adjusters (YL3Z-6500-AA). Refer to the appropriate workshop Manual, Section 303-01B for
service procedures and tooling necessary to compress the valve springs and remove the roller
followers.

4.6L, 5.4L Belt, Drive Tensioner/Belt Length Indicator Without A/C
Automatic tensioners are calibrated at the factory to provide the correct amount of tension to the
belt. Unless a spring within the tensioner assembly breaks or some other mechanical part of the
tensioner fails, there is no need to check tensioners for proper tension.
The only mechanical check that need be made, if you have any doubt about the tensioner function,
would be to remove the belt in the area of the tensioner, to avoid belt contact, then using the proper
tool, rotate the tensioner from its relaxed position through its full stroke and back to the relaxed
position to assure that there is no "stick, grab, bind," and to assure that there is tension on the
spring. It is a normal condition for the tensioner to be moving, under certain conditions, when the
engine is running. If the tensioner meets these criteria, it should be assumed to be a good
tensioner.
Drive Belt Misalignment
CAUTION: Incorrect drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may cause the
drive belt to come off the drive pulleys.
Non-standard replacement drive belts may track differently or improperly. If a replacement drive
belt tracks improperly, replace it with an original equipment drive belt to avoid performance failure
or loss of belt.

Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 2628
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
pulley front surfaces) for excessive wobble. Replace components as required.
- Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting properly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck belt tracking,
- Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets, and drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the drive belt tracking.

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

^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.
Glossary of Terms
Acceleration-Light An increase in speed at less than half throttle.
Acceleration-Medium An increase in speed at half to nearly full throttle, such as 0-97 km/h (0-60
mph) in approximately 30 seconds.
Acceleration-Heavy An increase in speed at one-half to full throttle, such as 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph)
in approximately 20 seconds.
Ambient Temperature The surrounding or prevailing temperature.
Amplitude The quantity or amount of energy produced by a vibrating component (G force). An
extreme vibration has a high amplitude. A mild vibration has a low amplitude.
Backlash Gear teeth clearance.
Boom Low frequency or low pitched noise often accompanied by a vibration. Also refer to
Drumming.
Bound Up An overstressed isolation (rubber) mount that transmits vibration/noise instead of
absorbing it.
Brakes Applied When the service brakes are applied with enough force to hold the vehicle against
movement with the transmission in gear.
Buffet/Buffeting Strong noise fluctuations caused by gusting winds. An example would be wind
gusts against the side glass.
Buzz A low-pitched sound like that from a bee. Often a metallic or hard plastic humming sound.

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 2648
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 2649
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Drive Belts, Mounts, Brackets and Accessories >

Procedure > Page 2650
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

Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2652
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 2656
^ 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.

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.

^ 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:

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.

Engine Mount > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 2660
^ 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.

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.

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

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.

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

ISSUE 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.

Cylinder heads damaged by brinnelling (depression marks from original gasket) of the head may
still be reusable. The revised "Service-Only" gasket has a feature by which the embossed sealing
area does not follow the same sealing path as the original gasket. This area is surrounding the
High Pressure Oil Feed (HPOF) area. It is triangular in shape and is found in the rear of the
passenger side cylinder head, or, in the front of the drivers side cylinder head (Figure 1 and Figure
2).
Required for service are:
^ A straightedge (machine flatness toleranced to 0.0002" per foot in length) (available from
Snap-On or as provided by Ford Motor Company)

^ Metal Surface Prep (ZC-31)
^ Service-only gasket (3U7Z-6051-BA for drivers side and/or 3U7Z-6051-AA for passenger side)
with the new embossed area
The engine should be allowed to cool before removing the head or warpage may occur in deck
flatness.
The cylinder head and block decks should be cleaned before performing a flatness check. Dark
metal stains below the surface of the metal are normal. Do not attempt to polish off the stains with
grinders or scrapers. Use a plastic scraper (or plastic ice scraper or equivalent) to pull away any
residual silicone RTV with ZC-30 and ZC-31 applied in sequence.
The Workshop Manual and Service Labor Time Standards have been recently updated for both
cars and truck using 4.6L 2V and 5.4L 2V and Supercharged 5.4L engines. These include
instructions to remove the engine prior to removing the cylinder head. Service Labor Time
Standards allow for extra time in engine removal and cylinder head deck leak repair out of vehicle.
Cylinder Head Kits are available on most applications. Refer to the current Parts Catalog Listing for
applicability.
Cylinder Head Kits include:
^ Complete Head assembly, with Cam and Valves
^ Head Bolts
^ Service Only Head Gasket
^ Both Intake Gaskets Exhaust Gasket
^ One Rocker Cover Gasket
^ One set of Exhaust Studs and Nuts
If it is found that only one head is leaking, it is not necessary to remove the other head Only repair
the side for which leakage occurs.
For detailed information on these subjects refer to previous articles on general cylinder head
gasket repairs, machining of aluminum heads and blocks, gasket cleaners/removers, and
straightedge procedures.

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 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.

Cylinder heads damaged by brinnelling (depression marks from original gasket) of the head may
still be reusable. The revised "Service-Only" gasket has a feature by which the embossed sealing
area does not follow the same sealing path as the original gasket. This area is surrounding the
High Pressure Oil Feed (HPOF) area. It is triangular in shape and is found in the rear of the
passenger side cylinder head, or, in the front of the drivers side cylinder head (Figure 1 and Figure
2).
Required for service are:
^ A straightedge (machine flatness toleranced to 0.0002" per foot in length) (available from
Snap-On or as provided by Ford Motor Company)

The engine should be allowed to cool before removing the head or warpage may occur in deck
flatness.
The cylinder head and block decks should be cleaned before performing a flatness check. Dark
metal stains below the surface of the metal are normal. Do not attempt to polish off the stains with
grinders or scrapers. Use a plastic scraper (or plastic ice scraper or equivalent) to pull away any
residual silicone RTV with ZC-30 and ZC-31 applied in sequence.
The Workshop Manual and Service Labor Time Standards have been recently updated for both
cars and truck using 4.6L 2V and 5.4L 2V and Supercharged 5.4L engines. These include
instructions to remove the engine prior to removing the cylinder head. Service Labor Time
Standards allow for extra time in engine removal and cylinder head deck leak repair out of vehicle.
Cylinder Head Kits are available on most applications. Refer to the current Parts Catalog Listing for
applicability.
Cylinder Head Kits include:
^ Complete Head assembly, with Cam and Valves
^ Head Bolts
^ Service Only Head Gasket
^ Both Intake Gaskets Exhaust Gasket
^ One Rocker Cover Gasket
^ One set of Exhaust Studs and Nuts
If it is found that only one head is leaking, it is not necessary to remove the other head Only repair
the side for which leakage occurs.

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.

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

ISSUE 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.
RESULTING SCRATCHES WILL PROVIDE A LEAK PATH. USE PLASTIC OR WOOD
SCRAPERS ONLY.

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.

coolant, oil or coolant contamination, or air in coolant), thorough cleaning procedures are
necessary for a successful head gasket repair. Diagnosis and post-repair confirmation can be done
successfully utilizing leak detection methods such as a black light dye process.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
To sum up, a successful leak repair depends on:
^ Accurate diagnosis of the leak using Ford-recommended test equipment and procedures
^ Surface preparation and gasket installation using the approved tools, cleaners, and methods
^ Exercising CARE and CLEANLINESS during disassembly/assembly of components
^ Use of genuine Ford OEM replacement parts
^ Use of a Ford Remanufacturer

Aluminum Cylinder Head - Removal From Engine
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Seals and Gaskets, Engine > Cylinder Head Gasket >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Cylinder Head Gasket: > 02-1-4 > Jan
> 02 > Engine Head Gasket - Approved Replacement Procedures > Page 2956
WARNING
ALUMINUM CYLINDER HEADS ARE HIGHLY POLISHED AND MUST BE HANDLED WITH
EXTREME CARE. AFTER REMOVING THE HEAD BOLTS, WITHDRAW THE HEAD FROM THE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT. USE EXTREME CARE NOTING THAT THE GASKET SURFACE OF
THE HEAD COULD BE DAMAGED ON THE WAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF ALLOWED TO HIT
AGAINST OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS. ONCE REMOVED, PLACE THE HEAD ON A
BENCH, GASKET SIDE UP, USING A PIECE OF CLEAN CARDBOARD ON THE BENCH
SURFACE UNDERNEATH. DO NOT SLIDE THE HEAD GASKET SURFACE ALONG THE
BENCHTOP OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
NOTE
SOME ENGINES REQUIRE A "DE-TORQUING" PROCEDURE OF THE CYLINDER HEAD
BOLTS. CONSULT WITH THE APPROPRIATE MODEL YEAR WORKSHOP MANUAL FIRST, AS
THIS PROCEDURE IS USUALLY DONE ON FOUR-VALVE ENGINES. HOWEVER, ALL
ALUMINUM HEADS ARE PRONE TO WARPAGE DURING REMOVAL IF TAKEN OFF WHEN
HOT OR WARM. THE ENGINE SHOULD BE COOLED SUFFICIENTLY BY THE TIME THE
HEADS ARE ACCESSIBLE DURING TEARDOWN. ALLOW AN ADEQUATE COOL DOWN
PERIOD.
NOTE
IN SOME ENGINE APPLICATIONS, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO "RUBBER BAND" A FEW OF
THE HEAD BOLTS TOGETHER DUE TO TIGHT CLEARANCES OF THE HEAD NEAR
HEATER/AC PLENUMS AND THE BODY COWL. THIS WILL ALLOW THE BOLTS TO CLEAR
THE BLOCK DECK AS THE HEAD IS WITHDRAWN FROM THE VEHICLE.
Place CLEAN shop towels over the cylinder block bores to prevent further contamination from
reaching internal parts and surfaces. If a towel is to be removed, do it SLOWLY . Debris collected
on the towel can fall on the engine if care is not exercised as it is removed.
Gasket surfaces are machined to near-mirror surface quality. Scratches, dents, gouges, and other
impressions may allow oil, coolant, and compression gases to leak into other sealed cavities and/or
the atmosphere. Surface imperfections deteriorate the head gasket's ability to seal effectively.
Contamination on these surfaces will cause leaks from "shimming" the head even under full head
bolt torque. Contamination will also cause marks on the polished gasket surface, creating a leak
path.
Inspection For Damage and Cleaning Procedure
The overall straightness of the cylinder head and block face is held within very tight specification.
Defects known as "waviness" or "depressions" cannot be surface machined out with ordinary
equipment. Machining must meet manufacturer's specification on surface finish quality and be less
than 0.001" inch (0.025 mm) level as measured under a known quality straightedge using a feeler
gauge. If the engine has been overheated the cylinder head may have been damaged or warped.
Re-surfacing will not correct this damage.
The head must not contain any impressions on its sealing surface deeper than 0.001" (0.025 mm).
There must not be any scratches or gouges present, especially those which track to another
sealing cavity or to the atmosphere.
Ensure that the mating cylinder block surface is completely free of solid contamination, corrosion,
and fluids. Use Motorcraft Metal Surface Cleaner, F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent, to rid the
surface of any material, which could later interfere with the gasket's sealing ability.
WARNING
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ANY ALUMINUM GASKET SURFACES TO BE CLEANED
USING RAZOR BLADES, ROTARY ABRASIVE DEVICES INCLUDING ROLOC AND 3M
BRANDED SCOTCHBRITE PRODUCTS, ROTARY WIRE BRUSHES, SINGLE HANDLED WIRE
BRUSHES, HAND ABRASIVE SUCH AS SANDPAPER OR EMERY CLOTH, OR ANY CARBON
STEEL BLADE. THESE TOOLS ARE PROVEN TO CUT AND DAMAGE ALUMINUM AND WILL
DISRUPT THE POLISHED FINISH. ABRASIVE PARTICLES ARE ALSO SUSCEPTIBLE TO
ENTERING THE ENGINE CAVITIES AND MAY CAUSE INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THE
ONLY TOOLS ACCEPTABLE ARE PLASTIC AND WOOD SCRAPERS COMBINED WITH USE
OF MOTORCRAFT METAL SURFACE CLEANER, F4AZ-19A536-RA, OR EQUIVALENT
SOLVENT.
The original head bolts are to be discarded. Only new head bolts are acceptable for use in a head
gasket repair. Use of old bolts can cause clamp load failure because they were stretched from the
last torquing procedure either from the plant or a previous field repair. The new head bolt shanks
and threads should be thoroughly cleaned, dried, and lightly lubricated. Oil the bolts and let oil drip
for a minimum of 5 minutes. Use of too much oil may cause hydraulic lockup in the bolt hole.
The corresponding bolt holes in the cylinder block must be free of contamination consisting of dirt
particles, coolant, and oil. Bolts can mechanically or hydraulically lock on top of these materials and
cause for poor clamping of the cylinder head gasket. Use very lightly compressed air to blow out
the bolt holes. Use care to prevent debris from scattering over the internal engine surfaces.
To clean the cylinder block gasket surface, a plastic or wood scraper in combination with Motorcraft
Metal Surface Cleaner, F4AZ-19A536-RA, or equivalent solvent can be used with a portable shop
vacuum. Move the scraper toward the vacuum nozzle to direct loosened material quickly away from
the block surface.
It is not necessary to expect aluminum head surfaces to be shiny and bright after the vehicle has
been in service. Sanding, scraping, or polishing will create surface depressions that cause leaks.
The surface is expected to be flat within 0.001" (0.025 mm) and free of dirt, metal chips, and liquid
contaminants. Any staining of the metal surface is considered normal.
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

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

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
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 Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of Super Premium SAE
5W30 Motor Oil, X0-5W30-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.
- If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty.
- If compression does not improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly.
- 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.

ISSUE This TSB article describes Ford Motor Company's position on the use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
ACTION
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Coolant > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Engine Coolant - Propylene Glycol Recommendations > Page 3092
Ford Motor Company does not recommend nor endorse the use of engine coolants made with
propylene glycol in Ford vehicles. Ford Motor Company currently recommends the use of ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants.
Published information suggests that engine coolants made with propylene glycol may provide
engine cooling performance equivalent to engine coolants made with ethylene glycol. However,
different brands of engine coolant provide varying corrosion protection for the cooling system. Ford
does not have performance data for the multitude of engine coolants available in the aftermarket
and therefore cannot recommend the use of any coolant except those sold by Ford Customer
Service Division. Consult the vehicle's Owner's Guide to determine the appropriate Ford Customer
Service Division coolant for the vehicle.
Furthermore, claims of toxicological and environmental advantages of propylene glycol over
ethylene glycol may be misleading. When significant new information is developed, Ford will review
this policy.
Ford Motor Company specifications recommend that vehicles be maintained using certain ethylene
glycol-based engine coolants. Those specifications do not refer to engine coolants made with
propylene glycol. Although the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty is not automatically voided upon
the use of a coolant made with propylene glycol, if such use results in damage to the vehicle or its
components, the cost of repairing the damage would not be covered by the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection
Spin the fan blade by hand. A light resistance should be felt. If there is no resistance or very high
resistance, the minimum and maximum fan speeds must be checked as follows:
MINIMUM SPEED FAN CLUTCH REQUIREMENT TEST
1. Use a suitable marker to mark the water pump pulley, one of the fan blade bolts, and the
crankshaft pulley. 2. Connect a tachometer to the engine. 3. Install a throttle adjusting tool. 4.
Connect a digital photoelectric tachometer.
5. WARNING: To avoid the possibility of personal injury or damage to the vehicle, do not operate
the engine until the fan blade has been
first examined for possible cracks and separation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
personal injury.
Start the engine and run it at approximately 1500 rpm until the normal operating temperature has
been achieved.
6. Adjust the engine speed to 2300 rpm. 7. Adjust the strobe light to 3000 rpm and aim it at the
water pump pulley. Adjust the engine speed until the light flash and the water pump pulley
mark are synchronized.
8. Aim the strobe light at the fan blade retaining bolts. Adjust the strobe light until the light flash is
synchronized with the marked fan blade retaining
bolt (fan blade appears to stand still).
9. The fan blade speed must not be greater than 1500 rpm at 3000 water pump rpm.
10. Turn the engine off. 11. If the fan blade speed was greater than 1500 rpm, install a new fan
clutch.
MAXIMUM SPEED FAN CLUTCH REQUIREMENT TEST
1. Perform Steps 1 through 5 of the Minimum Speed Fan Clutch Requirement Test.
2. NOTE: The engine temperature should be above 96°C (205°F) for maximum fan speed.
Block off areas on each side of the radiator in the engine compartment and the front of the radiator
grille. This will raise the temperature of the air striking the fan clutch and should cause the fan to
operate at maximum speed.
3. Place the climate control function selector switch in the MAX A/C position and the blower motor
switch in the HI position. 4. Adjust the strobe light to 3000 rpm.
5. WARNING: To avoid the possibility of personal injury or damage to the vehicle, do not operate
the engine until the fan blade has been
first examined for possible cracks and separation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
personal injury.
Start the engine and adjust the engine speed until the strobe light flash and the water pump pulley
mark are synchronized.
6. Aim the strobe light at the fan blade retaining bolts. Adjust the strobe light until the light flash is
synchronized with the marked fan blade retaining
bolt (fan blade appears to stand still).
7. If the fan blade speed is less than 2300 rpm, install a new fan clutch.

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.

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

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
HEATER CORE
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.
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 replacement. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must he tested
by following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core pressure test. Perform
a system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly.
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, or
- the thermostat is not working properly.
PRESSURE TEST
Use the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to perform the pressure test. 1. Drain the coolant
from the cooling system.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 inches) long on each heater core tube.
4. Fill the heater core and heater water hoses with water and install Plug 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 perform the bench test.
BENCH TEST
1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater 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

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.

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.

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. WARNING: Never remove the pressure relief cap under any conditions while the engine is
operating. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in damage to the cooling system or engine or personal injury. To avoid having scalding
hot coolant or steam blow out of the cooling system, never remove the pressure relief cap from a
hot degas bottle. Wait until the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth around the pressure
relief cap and turn it slowly one turn (counterclockwise). Step back while the pressure is released
from the cooling system. When certain all the pressure has been released, remove the pressure
relief cap (still with a cloth).
Inspect the pressure relief cap and seals for damage or deterioration. Replace the pressure relief
cap if necessary.
2. Fit the pressure relief cap to Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester Kit using the aftermarket
adapter.
3. NOTE: If the plunger of the pressure tester is depressed too fast, an incorrect pressure reading
will result.
Slowly pump the pressure tester until the pressure gauge stops increasing and note the highest
pressure reading. Release pressure and repeat test. Install a new pressure relief cap if the
pressure is not 99.3-121.4 kPa (14.4-17.6 psi).

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
Engine coolant temperature information is received by the instrument cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the SCP network. Temperatures over 121°C (275°F) will display hot
(H). If the engine coolant temperature data is missing or invalid for five seconds, the instrument
cluster will move the engine coolant temperature gauge below the cold (C) position.

1. Remove the water thermostat. 2. Check the water thermostat for seating. Hold the water
thermostat up to a lighted background. Leakage of light around the thermostat valve at
room temperature indicates that the water thermostat should be replaced. Some water thermostats
have a small leakage notch at one location on the perimeter of the thermostat valve, which is
considered normal.
3. Immerse it in a boiling antifreeze and water mixture. 4. For additional information, refer to
Specifications for water thermostat opening temperature.

Thermostat: Testing and Inspection Electrical Thermostat Test
CAUTION: Always vent the exhaust to the outside when performing this test.
NOTE: The electrical thermostat test is most accurate if performed indoors at less than 37.8°C
(100°F) ambient air. This test may be performed with or without the hood open and with the engine
warm or cold.
1. Check the engine coolant level. Fill as needed. 2. With the key OFF, remove the Engine Coolant
Temperature (ECT) sensor harness connector and attach ECT Sensor "T" Cable as a jumper
between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the ECT Sensor. Attach 73 Digital Multimeter
to the ECT Sensor "T" Cable. Voltage values (0 to 5 V) may now be monitored while the sensor
retains its connection to the wiring harness.
New Generation Star (NGS) Tester or the Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS) may be used to
monitor the ECT on vehicles equipped with Data Link Connector (DLC). The SBDS sequence to
use for the screen is: Tool box-Electronic Engine Control and DCL-Item.
3. NOTE: Running this test with the vehicle in gear or with the A/C compressor clutch engaged
(running) will cause improper diagnosis.
Place transmission in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
4. Start the engine and allow to idle throughout this test. Allow the engine to run for 2 minutes, then
record the ECT voltage. Record the ECT
voltage every 60 seconds. When the ECT voltage trend changes direction or only changes slightly
(0.03 volts or less) from the previous reading, record this as the thermostat opening voltage. Use
the voltage and corresponding coolant temperature chart.
5. If the thermostat opening voltage is greater than 0.75 volts and less than 82°C (180°F), install a
new water thermostat. 6. If the thermostat opening voltage is less than 0.75 volts and greater than
82°C (180°F), the water thermostat is good and should not be replaced.

ISSUE Some 1997-2003 F-150 vehicles equipped with any engine, and 1997-1998 F-250 LD
vehicles equipped with the 5.4L engine, may exhibit a ticking or knocking noise coming from the
catalytic converters. The noise may be described as sounding like a diesel engine. The condition
will be present when the vehicle is in gear at idle only, and is more pronounced when the vehicle is
stationary, such as sitting in a drive-through line. The noise is normal, and is created by engine
pulses being amplified through the light-off converters.
ACTION DO NOT replace converters unless loose internal components are found. To reduce the
noise, install a wrap kit on each of the light-off converters. Refer to the instruction sheet included in
the kit.

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 > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 3271
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.

> Technical Service Bulletins > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 3272
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Technical Service Bulletins > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 3273
The upstream H025 sensors will have a high switch frequency, due to normal closed loop fuel
control. With an efficient catalyst, the downstream H025 will have a low switch frequency. The
switch ratio is determined by dividing the number of downstream switches by the number of
upstream switches over a given period of time. As the catalyst ages (or if the catalyst is damaged
or contaminated), the downstream switches will increase. When the downstream switch rate
crosses a threshold value (approximately 0.75 switch ratio), a code is stored (P0420 and/or P0430)
and the MIL illuminates (refer to Figures 5 and 6).
NOTE
IF A CATALYST IS DETERMINED TO HAVE LOW EFFICIENCY AND REQUIRES
REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT OF THE DOWNSTREAM H025 SENSORS WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY.
2. Use care in handling H025 sensors: In the event of catalyst replacement, use care in the
handling of H025 sensors to prevent damage or contamination. Do not use power tools in the
removal or installation of sensors. Use a 22mm wrench or crow foot to remove and install H025
sensors; do not use slotted sockets, as these sockets may damage wires. H025 sensors should be
torqued to 41 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 4 lb-ft).
3. Do not replace downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22) for DTCs P0420 and/or P0430:
When diagnosing a vehicle with a customer concern of MIL On and DTCs P0420/P0430 in
continuous memory, do not replace the downstream HO2S sensors (H02S12/H02S22). Damaged
or malfunctioning downstream HO2S sensors will not cause these DTCs to be set. Always verify
the vehicle concern, then perform the pinpoint diagnostics in the appropriate PC/ED Service
Manual.

> Technical Service Bulletins > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 3274
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.

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 > 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 3380
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 3381
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 3382
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.

- 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

Modules - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 3422
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 3423
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 - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 3424
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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

ISSUE Some Bi-Fuel vehicles may exhibit DTC's for high Oxygen Sensor voltage (P0132 and
P0152). Current diagnostics may result in premature replacement of the Compuvalve.
ACTION If an Oxygen Sensor code is set, the current diagnostics direct the Compuvalve to be
replaced it no faults are detected when Pinpoint Test H is conducted. The modified repair action
outlined below gives additional test procedures if nothing is detected from Pinpoint Test H.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Prior to clearing any codes, to aid in diagnostics of intermittent failures, access and record the
freeze frame data using the NGS Tester.
2. At step H4 of the pinpoint test, it Oxygen Sensor PIDS (H02S11 and H02521) are within
specification (see table in Section H of PC/ED Manual), clear codes and road test the vehicle in
alternative fuel using the freeze frame data (from above) to duplicate conditions that triggered the
code. During the road test, monitor Oxygen Sensor PIDs for both banks in both the PCM and the
AFCM.
NOTE
A SECOND TECHNICIAN SHOULD MONITOR THE PIDS WHILE THE OTHER DRIVES. IF THE
CODE/CONCERN CANNOT BE DUPLICATED, REFER TO PINPOINT TEST Z OF THE BASE
VEHICLE PC/ED.
3. If the concern is duplicated, and if voltage is outside of specifications in both the AFCM and the
PCM, the fault is in the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor circuit. Refer to base vehicle
diagnostics.
4. If the voltage is outside of specifications in the AFCM only, replace the Compuvalve.

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

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

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

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

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

4. View H025 PID data carefully: NGS PIDs for HO2S sensors that do not exist (with certain
exhaust configurations) will show a value of "0" volts (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
In this example, the vehicle (equipped with a 4-cylinder engine) has one upstream and one
downstream HO2S. Notice that the NGS (scan tool) display shows two upstream and two
downstream HO2S PIDs, and that the "unused" HO2S sensor PIDs display "0" volts.
5. H025 sensors measure oxygen in the exhaust, not fuel: The exhaust gas condition reported by
the HO2S sensor is based on the presence of oxygen in the exhaust, not the presence of unburned
fuel.
Example: In the event of an ignition-related misfire, you might expect a rich HO2S reading, due to
the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. However, there is also a large amount of
unburned oxygen, since no combustion took place in the misfiring cylinder. Since the H025 senses
oxygen only, it would report a lean condition in this particular situation.
F2.) Tips Related to Heated Oxygen Sensor (H025) Monitor
1. OBD II Response Rate Monitor: The OBD II
Response Rate Monitor (P0133/P0153) is only run at vehicle speeds between approximately 50-95
km/h (30-60 mph), during steady-state conditions. The test lasts approximately 6 seconds.
Therefore, P0133/P0153 cannot be diagnosed at idle in the repair bay.
2. Do not compare H025 switch rate - Bank-to-Bank or vehicle-to-vehicle: Different H025 switch
rates, from Bank-to-Bank, are considered normal. The H025 switch rate, from one Bank to the
other, should not be compared as a gauge of the H025's ability to switch/react. The PCM is
continuously adjusting spark and fuel in reaction to engine operating conditions (rpm, load, air flow,
throttle angle, etc.). The PCM is also continuously adapting to certain conditions (customer driving
habits, engine and component wear, etc.).
F3.) Tips Related to Catalyst Efficiency Monitor
1. Determining catalyst efficiency/switch ratio:
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 >
Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 3540
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 >
Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 3541
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 3555
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 3556
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 3557
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 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

Information and Instructions > Page 3602
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 3603
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 3604
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

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

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

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

NOTE
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MAY ALSO BE USED TO DIAGNOSE VEHICLES THAT DO
NOT HAVE FUEL SYSTEM/HO2S SENSOR DTCS.
Symptoms
^ Lack of Power
^ Spark Knock/Detonation
^ Buck/Jerk
^ Hesitation/Surge on Acceleration
^ Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Illuminated DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175 may be stored in memory
OBDII DTCs
^ P0171, P0174 (Fuel system lean, Bank 1 or 2)
^ P0172, P0175, (Fuel system rich, Bank 1 or 2)
^ P1130, P1131, P1132, (HO2S11 lack of switching, Bank 1)
^ P1150, P1151, P1152, (HO2S21 lack of switching, Bank 2)
OBDI DTCs
^ 181, 189 (Fuel system lean, Bank 1 or 2)
^ 179, 188 (Fuel system rich, Bank 1 or 2)
^ 171, 172, 173 (HO2S11 lack of switching, Bank 1)
^ 175, 176, 177 (HO2S21 lack of switching, Bank 2)
^ 184, 185 (MAF higher/lower than expected)
^ 186, 187 (Injector pulse width higher/lower than expected)
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.

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.

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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

If you suspect that a vehicle (engine) may have had the synchronizer assembly (Figure 3) installed
incorrectly, check the vehicle history to see if related service has been performed. If you determine
that the synchronizer could have been installed incorrectly, use the following procedure with WDS
to verify correct installation (Figure 5).
NOTE
CORRECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL.
AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SYNCHRONIZER CAN CAUSE HARD TO DIAGNOSE
DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.
Reasons for incorrect installation are:

^ Not setting the # 1 cylinder on Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke
^ Use of the incorrect camshaft synchronizer tool for installation
^ Incorrect alignment of the synchronizer tool
Power Balance Test In WDS
The WDS Power Balance Test can be used to quickly determine if the CMP synchronizer assembly
is installed incorrectly. Use the following procedure.
1. Run the vehicle while viewing the power balance test in WDS to insure that no engine misses
are occurring.
2. Shut the engine off and remove the # 1 cylinder injector electrical connector.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

10. Press the start button and view both the CKP sensor as well as the CMP sensor signals.
Figures 6, 7 and 8).
11. Compare the wave forms of both sensors.
^ The missing tooth of the CKP sensor trigger wheel will be shown on the screen as an extra space
between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Ignition System > Hall Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Technical Service Bulletins: > 06-21-19 > Oct > 06 > A/C - Heater Core Electrolysis/Leakage > Page 3727
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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

If you suspect that a vehicle (engine) may have had the synchronizer assembly (Figure 3) installed
incorrectly, check the vehicle history to see if related service has been performed. If you determine
that the synchronizer could have been installed incorrectly, use the following procedure with WDS
to verify correct installation (Figure 5).
NOTE
CORRECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL.
AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SYNCHRONIZER CAN CAUSE HARD TO DIAGNOSE
DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.
Reasons for incorrect installation are:

^ Not setting the # 1 cylinder on Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke
^ Use of the incorrect camshaft synchronizer tool for installation
^ Incorrect alignment of the synchronizer tool
Power Balance Test In WDS
The WDS Power Balance Test can be used to quickly determine if the CMP synchronizer assembly
is installed incorrectly. Use the following procedure.
1. Run the vehicle while viewing the power balance test in WDS to insure that no engine misses
are occurring.
2. Shut the engine off and remove the # 1 cylinder injector electrical connector.
3. Start the engine and view the WDS power balance test.

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 generant 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.
The side air bag sensors are located at or near the base of the B-pillar.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
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 Pressure Limit Chart
Compression Pressure Limit Chart
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest reading.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of Super Premium SAE
5W30 Motor Oil, X0-5W30-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.
- If compression improves considerably, piston rings are faulty.
- If compression does not improve, valves are sticking or seating improperly.
- 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.

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

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

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

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

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

98-23-10 > Nov > 98 > Engine - Lean Driveability Symptoms > Page 3855
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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

02-22-1 > Nov > 02 > Engine Controls - Engine Surge/Rolling Idle/DTC's Set > Page 3913
^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3945
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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3947
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 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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Engine Control Module: > 99-4-3
> Mar > 99 > PCM - Reprogramming Out of Vehicle > Page 3981
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 > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3999
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

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4000
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4001
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.

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 > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4038
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 4039
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 Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4040
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.

Information Bus: Description and Operation Module Communication Network
Principles of Operation
The vehicle has two module communications networks. The Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP)
which is an unshielded twisted pair cable (data bus plus, Circuit 914 [TN/OG] and data bus minus,
Circuit 915 [PK/LB]), and the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9141 network which is a
single wire (Circuit 70 [LB/WH]). The New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester can connect to both
networks through the Data Link Connector (DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing of these
systems easier by allowing one smart tester to be able to diagnose and control any module on the
two networks from one connector. The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the
steering column and the radio.
The ISO 9141 communication network does not permit inter-module communication. When the
NGS Tester communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, the NGS Tester
must ask for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Module Communication Network > Page 4047
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.
Unlike the SCP communication network, the ISO 9141 communication network will not function if
the wire is shorted to chassis ground or battery positive voltage (B+). Also, if one of the modules on
the ISO 9141 network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will fail.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is on the SCP communication network. The PCM controls
the engine for better fuel economy, emissions control, and failure mode detection and storage.
The Natural Gas Vehicle Module (NGVM) calculates fuel level based on inputs from the fuel tank
pressure sensor and the fuel tank temperature sensor. The NGVM then provides a voltage signal
to the instrument cluster to drive the fuel gauge. The NGVM also has separate injector drivers to
run the injectors at the higher operating pressure of natural gas. The NGVM does not perform any
calculations for this function; calibration for the injectors is maintained in the PCM.
The Restraint Control Module (RCM) is on the ISO 9141 network. The RCM controls the
deployment of the air bags based on sensor input.
The Generic Electronic Module (GEM) and the Central Timer Module (CTM) are on the ISO 9141
network. Only one GEM or one CTM will be on a vehicle. The GEM is equipped on vehicles with
4-wheel drive or vehicles with power windows. The CTM is equipped on vehicles with 2-wheel drive
and vehicles without power windows. The GEM controls additional functions that include:
- Speed dependent windshield wipers.
- 4-wheel shift on the fly.
- One touch down power window.
The Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module is on the ISO 9141 communication network. The
RAP module controls keyless entry for the vehicle.
The 4-wheel anti-lock brake control module is on the ISO 9141 communication network. The
4-wheel anti-lock brake control module controls the brake pressure to the four wheels to keep the
vehicle under control while braking.
The instrument cluster is also known as a Hybrid Electronic Cluster (HEC) and is on the SCP
communication network. The instrument cluster displays driver information. The instrument cluster
incorporates the PATS control module functions.

Customer Driven Preferences There are customer preference items that can or need to be
configured on this vehicle. These are items that the customer may or may not want to have
enabled. Typically, customer preference items can be toggled on or off by the use of a Ford
compatible scan tool. You may need to ask the customer which preferences they had enabled prior
to installation of the new module.
To carry out the customer configuration process, use a Ford Service Function (FSF) card and the
New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester. Refer to the Customer Preference Index for modules on the
vehicle that have customer preference items. Configure the items as needed with a Ford

ISSUE Some Bi-Fuel vehicles may exhibit DTC's for high Oxygen Sensor voltage (P0132 and
P0152). Current diagnostics may result in premature replacement of the Compuvalve.
ACTION If an Oxygen Sensor code is set, the current diagnostics direct the Compuvalve to be
replaced it no faults are detected when Pinpoint Test H is conducted. The modified repair action
outlined below gives additional test procedures if nothing is detected from Pinpoint Test H.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Prior to clearing any codes, to aid in diagnostics of intermittent failures, access and record the
freeze frame data using the NGS Tester.
2. At step H4 of the pinpoint test, it Oxygen Sensor PIDS (H02S11 and H02521) are within
specification (see table in Section H of PC/ED Manual), clear codes and road test the vehicle in
alternative fuel using the freeze frame data (from above) to duplicate conditions that triggered the
code. During the road test, monitor Oxygen Sensor PIDs for both banks in both the PCM and the
AFCM.
NOTE
A SECOND TECHNICIAN SHOULD MONITOR THE PIDS WHILE THE OTHER DRIVES. IF THE
CODE/CONCERN CANNOT BE DUPLICATED, REFER TO PINPOINT TEST Z OF THE BASE
VEHICLE PC/ED.
3. If the concern is duplicated, and if voltage is outside of specifications in both the AFCM and the
PCM, the fault is in the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor circuit. Refer to base vehicle
diagnostics.
4. If the voltage is outside of specifications in the AFCM only, replace the Compuvalve.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4103
The H025 Monitor is an on-board strategy designed to monitor the HO2S sensors for a malfunction
or deterioration that can affect emissions. Under specific conditions, the fuel control or upstream
HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3) are checked for proper output voltage and response rate (the time
it takes to switch from lean to rich or rich to lean). Downstream HO2S sensors (Figures 1 and 3)
used for Catalyst Monitor are also monitored for proper output voltage. Input is required from the
ECT or CHT, IAT, MAF, TP and CKP sensors to activate the H025 Monitor. The Fuel System
Monitor and Misfire Detection Monitor must also have completed successfully before the HO2S
Monitor is enabled.
The HO2S sensor senses the oxygen content in the exhaust flow and outputs a voltage between
zero and 1.0 volt. Lean of stoichiometric (air/fuel ratio of approximately 14.7:1 for gasoline
engines), the HO2S will generate a voltage between zero and 0.45 volt. Rich of stoichiometric, the
HO2S will generate a voltage between 0.45 and 1.0 volt.
^ The HO2S Monitor evaluates both the upstream (Fuel Control) and downstream (Catalyst
Monitor) HO2S for proper function.
^ Once the HO2S Monitor is enabled, the upstream H025 signal voltage amplitude and response
frequency are checked. Excessive voltage is determined by comparing the HO2S signal voltage to
a maximum calibratable threshold voltage.
^ A fixed frequency closed loop fuel control routine is executed and the upstream HO2S voltage
amplitude and output response frequency are observed. A sample of the upstream HO2S signal is
evaluated to determine if the sensor is capable of switching or has a slow response rate.
^ An HO2S heater circuit fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for a
corresponding change in the OSM and by measuring the current going through the heater circuit.
^ The MIL is activated after a fault is detected on two consecutive OBD II drive cycles.
The HO2S Monitor DTCs can be categorized as follows:
^ HO2S signal circuit malfunction - P0131, P0136, P0151, P0156
^ HO2S slow response rate - P0133, P0153
^ HO2S heater circuit malfunction - P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161
^ Downstream HO2S not running in on-demand self test - P1127
^ Swapped H025 connectors - P1128 and P1129
^ H025 lack of switching - P1130, P1131, P1132, P1150, P1151, P1152
^ HO2S lack of switching (sensor indicates lean) - P1137
^ H025 lack of switching (sensor indicates rich) - P1138

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

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

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4112
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).

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4113
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4114
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4115
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 > Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4129
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 4130
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 > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4131
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.

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.

a. Make sure WDS is docked or attached to vehicle battery supply.
b. Verify WDS software is at the latest release level.
3. If there is a communication error, attempt to communicate with a different diagnostic scan tool,
such as NGS, NGS+, VCM or another WDS.
NOTE
IF COMMUNICATION STILL CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED, VOLTAGE DROP PCM POWERS,
GROUNDS, AND CHECK VREF.
PCM REPLACEMENT - STANDARD
1. Open WDS vehicle session with original PCM installed in vehicle. If the original PCM is not able
to communicate, to open a session, proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
2. Install the new PCM.
NOTE
IF WDS NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WHILE THE NEW PCM IS BEING
INSTALLED, PLACE THE VEHICLE SESSION ON "HOLD" FOR USE LATER.
3. Attempt to start the vehicle.
4. Run KOEO Self Test to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in PCM.
5. Check for DTC P0602/P0605/P1639.
a. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is present then Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure
must be performed. Use the WDS session opened at Step 1.
b. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is not present, then verify Programmable Parameters are properly
set such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
6. Check for DTC B2900.
a. If DTC B2900 is present, perform PMI on the ABS module. Do Not replace ABS module for this
procedure when directed. You may be prompted to enter the 9 lines of PCM As-Built data during
this procedure.
b. If DTC B2900 is not present proceed to Step 7.
7. Diagnose all other DTCs following normal diagnostic procedures.
REPROGRAMMING DOES NOT COMPLETE OR FAILS - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM
Replacement
1. Verify all cables are properly connected.
2. Verify vehicle battery is at proper charge level.
3. Verify scan tool battery is at proper charge level.
4. Attempt reprogramming procedure again.
5. If reprogramming still does not complete properly, save current session, reboot WDS, open
previous session, and attempt reprogramming again.
6. If reprogramming still does not complete or you are now unable to communicate with PCM,
proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
BLANK PATH PROGRAMMING - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
Perform this procedure prior to PCM replacement if a vehicle comes in with a PCM that will not
communicate, or if steps earlier in this TSB directed you to this procedure.
1. Verify powers and grounds to PCM by loading and voltage drop testing circuits.
2. Follow Pin Point Tests to verify network integrity.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 4202
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 Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4203
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4204
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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

ISSUE Some Bi-Fuel vehicles may exhibit DTC's for high Oxygen Sensor voltage (P0132 and
P0152). Current diagnostics may result in premature replacement of the Compuvalve.
ACTION If an Oxygen Sensor code is set, the current diagnostics direct the Compuvalve to be
replaced it no faults are detected when Pinpoint Test H is conducted. The modified repair action
outlined below gives additional test procedures if nothing is detected from Pinpoint Test H.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Prior to clearing any codes, to aid in diagnostics of intermittent failures, access and record the
freeze frame data using the NGS Tester.
2. At step H4 of the pinpoint test, it Oxygen Sensor PIDS (H02S11 and H02521) are within
specification (see table in Section H of PC/ED Manual), clear codes and road test the vehicle in
alternative fuel using the freeze frame data (from above) to duplicate conditions that triggered the
code. During the road test, monitor Oxygen Sensor PIDs for both banks in both the PCM and the
AFCM.
NOTE
A SECOND TECHNICIAN SHOULD MONITOR THE PIDS WHILE THE OTHER DRIVES. IF THE
CODE/CONCERN CANNOT BE DUPLICATED, REFER TO PINPOINT TEST Z OF THE BASE
VEHICLE PC/ED.
3. If the concern is duplicated, and if voltage is outside of specifications in both the AFCM and the
PCM, the fault is in the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor circuit. Refer to base vehicle
diagnostics.
4. If the voltage is outside of specifications in the AFCM only, replace the Compuvalve.

Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4315
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.

Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4324
In this example, the most likely cause of DTCs P0135 and P0155 (with no other DTCs present)
would be a concern with Splice "B" (refer to Figure 2).
NOTE
THIS ILLUSTRATION IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. SPLICE NAMES "A", "B", AND "C" ARE USED IN

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

Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4325
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.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Engine
Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4326
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.

Controls - Bi-Fuel O2 Sensor Diagnostics > Page 4327
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 > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4341
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

Instructions > Page 4342
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Instructions > Page 4343
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 > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4388
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

Instructions > Page 4389
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

Instructions > Page 4390
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.

TICKING OR KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
FORD: 1997-1998 F-250 LD 1997-2003 F-150
ISSUE Some 1997-2003 F-150 vehicles equipped with any engine, and 1997-1998 F-250 LD
vehicles equipped with the 5.4L engine, may exhibit a ticking or knocking noise coming from the
catalytic converters. The noise may be described as sounding like a diesel engine. The condition
will be present when the vehicle is in gear at idle only, and is more pronounced when the vehicle is
stationary, such as sitting in a drive-through line. The noise is normal, and is created by engine
pulses being amplified through the light-off converters.
ACTION DO NOT replace converters unless loose internal components are found. To reduce the
noise, install a wrap kit on each of the light-off converters. Refer to the instruction sheet included in
the kit.

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

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

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

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

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 4449
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 4450
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 4451
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Exhaust System - Catalytic Converter Ticking/Knocking > Page 4452
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.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Description and Operation
PCV System Flow Schematic
Typical PCV Valve
Typical PCV Vacuum Connector
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System cycles crankcase gases back through the
engine where they are burned. The PCV valve regulates the amount of ventilating air and blow-by
gas to the intake manifold and prevents backfire from traveling into the crankcase. The PCV valve
should be mounted in a vertical position. On some applications, the PCV system is connected to
the evaporative emission system (refer to the VECI decal).
CAUTION: Do not remove the PCV system from the engine. Removal of the PCV system will
adversely affect the fuel economy and engine ventilation and result in shorter engine life.

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 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.
3. Remove all intake and exhaust lash adjusters from the engine and replace with service-only
Lash Adjusters (YL3Z-6500-AA). Refer to the appropriate workshop Manual, Section 303-01B for
service procedures and tooling necessary to compress the valve springs and remove the roller
followers.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Fuel - Volatility Related Driveability Concerns > Page 4594
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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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 4743
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 On some vehicles vaporizers with GFI model numbers Z5-1OO or Z7-1OO, may experience
internal component deterioration due to fuel contamination.
ACTION The following procedures are provided to expedite diagnostics and to determine if
component debris (caused by fuel contamination) has impeded the operation of the Vaporizer,
Compuvalve, Fuel Rails, and/or Injector Sleeves. Refer to the following Service Procedure for
details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Perform all preliminary diagnostics as indicated in the Workshop Manual/Workshop information CD
to ensure that the base vehicle is operational. Even a weak ignition system may cause a
driveability concern in ALT fuel while not affecting gasoline. Use the NGS to verify that the PCM
calibration matches the current bi-fuel calibration code in the following Calibration Chart.
Confirm and record the model number of the vaporizer for the vehicle. On the F-Series truck, a
mirror can be used to read the model number and on the Econoline van, unbolt the vaporizer from
the bracket to read the model number.

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

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

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.)

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

10. Press the start button and view both the CKP sensor as well as the CMP sensor signals.
Figures 6, 7 and 8).
11. Compare the wave forms of both sensors.
^ The missing tooth of the CKP sensor trigger wheel will be shown on the screen as an extra space
between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

If you suspect that a vehicle (engine) may have had the synchronizer assembly (Figure 3) installed
incorrectly, check the vehicle history to see if related service has been performed. If you determine
that the synchronizer could have been installed incorrectly, use the following procedure with WDS
to verify correct installation (Figure 5).
NOTE
CORRECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL.
AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SYNCHRONIZER CAN CAUSE HARD TO DIAGNOSE
DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.

^ Not setting the # 1 cylinder on Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke
^ Use of the incorrect camshaft synchronizer tool for installation
^ Incorrect alignment of the synchronizer tool
Power Balance Test In WDS
The WDS Power Balance Test can be used to quickly determine if the CMP synchronizer assembly
is installed incorrectly. Use the following procedure.
1. Run the vehicle while viewing the power balance test in WDS to insure that no engine misses
are occurring.
2. Shut the engine off and remove the # 1 cylinder injector electrical connector.
3. Start the engine and view the WDS power balance test.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

Engine Controls - Engine Surge/Rolling Idle/DTC's Set > Page 5044
^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

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 Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5060
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 Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5061
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 5062
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

Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5063
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.

Service Bulletins > Ignition System - Coil-On-Plug Misfire Diagnostic Tips > Page 5065
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.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

If you suspect that a vehicle (engine) may have had the synchronizer assembly (Figure 3) installed
incorrectly, check the vehicle history to see if related service has been performed. If you determine
that the synchronizer could have been installed incorrectly, use the following procedure with WDS
to verify correct installation (Figure 5).
NOTE
CORRECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL.
AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SYNCHRONIZER CAN CAUSE HARD TO DIAGNOSE
DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.
Reasons for incorrect installation are:

^ Not setting the # 1 cylinder on Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke
^ Use of the incorrect camshaft synchronizer tool for installation
^ Incorrect alignment of the synchronizer tool
Power Balance Test In WDS
The WDS Power Balance Test can be used to quickly determine if the CMP synchronizer assembly
is installed incorrectly. Use the following procedure.
1. Run the vehicle while viewing the power balance test in WDS to insure that no engine misses
are occurring.
2. Shut the engine off and remove the # 1 cylinder injector electrical connector.
3. Start the engine and view the WDS power balance test.

10. Press the start button and view both the CKP sensor as well as the CMP sensor signals.
Figures 6, 7 and 8).
11. Compare the wave forms of both sensors.
^ The missing tooth of the CKP sensor trigger wheel will be shown on the screen as an extra space
between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

If you suspect that a vehicle (engine) may have had the synchronizer assembly (Figure 3) installed
incorrectly, check the vehicle history to see if related service has been performed. If you determine
that the synchronizer could have been installed incorrectly, use the following procedure with WDS
to verify correct installation (Figure 5).
NOTE
CORRECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL.
AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SYNCHRONIZER CAN CAUSE HARD TO DIAGNOSE
DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.

10. Press the start button and view both the CKP sensor as well as the CMP sensor signals.
Figures 6, 7 and 8).
11. Compare the wave forms of both sensors.
^ The missing tooth of the CKP sensor trigger wheel will be shown on the screen as an extra space
between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

02-22-1 > Nov > 02 > Engine Controls - Engine Surge/Rolling Idle/DTC's Set > Page 5127
^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

CMP sensors are used on all current model year engines, regardless of fuel system or ignition
system type. The CMP sensor provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with cam position
information to indicate # 1 cylinder, on the compression stroke
There are two different types of CMP sensors:
^ The three-pin, Hall-effect sensor (Figure 1)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor (Figure 1)
Although the Hall-effect (three-pin) and the Variable Reluctance (two-pin) CMP sensors perform
the same function, their signal appearance is quite different and they are not interchangeable.

^ The three-pin Hall-effect sensor uses a Hall effect device and a magnet to generate a digital
square wave signal (Figure 2)
^ The two-pin Variable Reluctance sensor is a magnetic transducer, which uses differential voltage
across windings to generate a voltage waveform that is similar to a sine wave (Figure 2)
Both sensors provide a switching voltage as the engine rotates.

If you suspect that a vehicle (engine) may have had the synchronizer assembly (Figure 3) installed
incorrectly, check the vehicle history to see if related service has been performed. If you determine
that the synchronizer could have been installed incorrectly, use the following procedure with WDS
to verify correct installation (Figure 5).
NOTE
CORRECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION IS CRITICAL.
AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED SYNCHRONIZER CAN CAUSE HARD TO DIAGNOSE
DRIVEABILITY CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.
Reasons for incorrect installation are:

Effect Sensor, Ignition > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Hall
Effect Sensor: > 02-22-1 > Nov > 02 > Engine Controls - Engine Surge/Rolling Idle/DTC's Set > Page 5149
^ Not setting the # 1 cylinder on Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke
^ Use of the incorrect camshaft synchronizer tool for installation
^ Incorrect alignment of the synchronizer tool
Power Balance Test In WDS
The WDS Power Balance Test can be used to quickly determine if the CMP synchronizer assembly
is installed incorrectly. Use the following procedure.
1. Run the vehicle while viewing the power balance test in WDS to insure that no engine misses
are occurring.
2. Shut the engine off and remove the # 1 cylinder injector electrical connector.
3. Start the engine and view the WDS power balance test.

Effect Sensor: > 02-22-1 > Nov > 02 > Engine Controls - Engine Surge/Rolling Idle/DTC's Set > Page 5150
4. The test should indicate a power loss in the # 1 cylinder (Figure 4).
^ If the # 1 cylinder is indicated, then the CMP synchronizer assembly IS NOT grossly
mis-installed. (Figure 4) Continue to Step 5 in this procedure

^ If any other cylinder is indicated during the power balance test, then the CMP synchronizer
assembly HAS BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY, and must be reinstalled. (Refer to the
installation procedure, tool chart shown and TDC reference described in this TSB, or refer to the
appropriate model year Workshop Manual Section 303-14, Synchronizer-Camshaft).
5. If power loss is indicated in the # 1 cylinder (Figure 4), connect a 104 pin break-out box between
the PCM and the PCM electrical connector.
6. Insert the red WDS probe into pin # 21 and the black WDS probe into pin # 85 of the break-out
Box.

10. Press the start button and view both the CKP sensor as well as the CMP sensor signals.
Figures 6, 7 and 8).
11. Compare the wave forms of both sensors.
^ The missing tooth of the CKP sensor trigger wheel will be shown on the screen as an extra space
between the wave forms. This position is 60° Before Top Dead Center (BTDC)
^ The upper peaks of the wave form are each spaced 10° of crankshaft rotation apart
^ The CMP timing setting on all current 6-cylinder engines should be between 10 and 40° After Top
Dead Center (ATDC)
On all Hall-effect sensors, the CMP wave form rising edge should occur between the 7th and the
10th peak past the missing tooth. (Figure 6) On the VRS sensors (except 5.0L engines), the falling
edge of the CMP waveform should cross the zero reference line between the 7th and 10th peak
past the missing tooth waveform. (Figure 7).
On 5.0L engines With a VRS CMP sensor, the falling edge waveform should cross the zero
reference line between the 6th and the 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth (Figure 8).
On 5.0L engines with a Hall-effect VRS CMP sensor, the rising edge of the wave form should occur
between the 6th and 9th peak past the CKP missing tooth wave form.

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.

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,

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Shifts > Page 5247
^ 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.

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.

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.

This article supersedes TSB 04-21-07 to update the service procedure and to clarify this TSB
applies to all powertrain control module (PCM) reprogramming, with or without PCM replacement.
ISSUE PCMs may need to be reprogrammed or replaced as part of a repair. Additional vehicle
concerns may be caused if proper programming procedures are not followed.
ACTION Use the following procedure to reprogram PCMs.
Verify repair after reprogramming.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
PRELIMINARY STEPS - Existing PCM
Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
1. Connect a battery charger to vehicle.
2. Use WDS if available.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for PROM - Programmable Read Only Memory: >
04-24-14 > Dec > 04 > Engine Controls - General PCM Programming Procedures > Page 5331
a. Make sure WDS is docked or attached to vehicle battery supply.
b. Verify WDS software is at the latest release level.
3. If there is a communication error, attempt to communicate with a different diagnostic scan tool,
such as NGS, NGS+, VCM or another WDS.
NOTE
IF COMMUNICATION STILL CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED, VOLTAGE DROP PCM POWERS,
GROUNDS, AND CHECK VREF.
PCM REPLACEMENT - STANDARD
1. Open WDS vehicle session with original PCM installed in vehicle. If the original PCM is not able
to communicate, to open a session, proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
2. Install the new PCM.
NOTE
IF WDS NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE WHILE THE NEW PCM IS BEING
INSTALLED, PLACE THE VEHICLE SESSION ON "HOLD" FOR USE LATER.
3. Attempt to start the vehicle.
4. Run KOEO Self Test to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in PCM.
5. Check for DTC P0602/P0605/P1639.
a. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is present then Programmable Module Installation (PMI) procedure
must be performed. Use the WDS session opened at Step 1.
b. If DTC P0602/P0605/P1639 is not present, then verify Programmable Parameters are properly
set such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
6. Check for DTC B2900.
a. If DTC B2900 is present, perform PMI on the ABS module. Do Not replace ABS module for this
procedure when directed. You may be prompted to enter the 9 lines of PCM As-Built data during
this procedure.
b. If DTC B2900 is not present proceed to Step 7.
7. Diagnose all other DTCs following normal diagnostic procedures.
REPROGRAMMING DOES NOT COMPLETE OR FAILS - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM
Replacement
1. Verify all cables are properly connected.
2. Verify vehicle battery is at proper charge level.
3. Verify scan tool battery is at proper charge level.
4. Attempt reprogramming procedure again.
5. If reprogramming still does not complete properly, save current session, reboot WDS, open
previous session, and attempt reprogramming again.
6. If reprogramming still does not complete or you are now unable to communicate with PCM,
proceed to the Blank Path Programming procedure.
BLANK PATH PROGRAMMING - Existing PCM Reprogramming Or PCM Replacement
Perform this procedure prior to PCM replacement if a vehicle comes in with a PCM that will not
communicate, or if steps earlier in this TSB directed you to this procedure.
1. Verify powers and grounds to PCM by loading and voltage drop testing circuits.

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.

ISSUE MERCON(R) Automatic Transmission Fluid is being replaced by MERCON(R) V as a
service fluid.
ACTION Beginning immediately all automatic transmission / transaxle applications requiring
MERCON(R) can now be serviced using MERCON(R) V or MERCON(R) Automatic Transmission
Fluid or dual usage fluids labeled MERCON(R) / MERCON(R) V. After July 1, 2007, MERCON(R)
Automatic Transmission Fluid will no longer be manufactured, therefore, availability of this fluid will
only continue for however long it takes to deplete what remains in inventory.

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.

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 4R70W
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.

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, providing 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.

^ 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.

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
serviced separately. Some vehicles are equipped with an optional auxiliary transmission fluid
cooler that is mounted in front of the radiator. In operation, transmission fluid travels from the
transmission to the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler, if equipped, to the integral transmission fluid
cooler then back to the transmission. The integral transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from the
transmission fluid to the engine coolant. The auxiliary transmission fluid cooler transfers heat from
the transmission fluid to outside air.

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

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

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5823
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 5824
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 5825
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 5827
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 5831
^ 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.

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 5833
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 5834
^ 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 5835
^ Verify the "symptom".
^ Determine which "system(s)" can cause the "symptom".
- If a vibration concern is vehicle speed related. the tire and wheel rpm/frequency or driveshaft
frequency should be calculated.
- If a vibration concern is engine speed related. the engine, engine accessory or engine firing
frequencies should be calculated.
^ After determining the "system", use the diagnostic tools to identify the worn or damaged
'components".
^ After identifying the "components". try to find the "cause" of the failure.

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

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

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5904
Rotate the steering wheel to the RH stop. then turn the steering wheel 90° back from that position.
Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
4. Turn the steering wheel another 90°. Turn the steering wheel slowly in a 15° to 30° arc.
5. Repeat the test with power steering fluid at different temperatures.
6. If a light grunt is heard or a low (50-200Hz) shudder is present, this is a normal steering system
condition.
Checking Tooth Contact Pattern/Condition of Ring & Pinion
There are two basic types of conditions that will produce ring and pinion noise. The first type is a
howl or chuckle produced by broken, cracked, chipped, scored or forcibly damaged gear teeth and
is usually quite audible over the entire speed range. The second type of ring and pinion noise
pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear pattern. This gear noise can be recognized as it produces
a cycling pitch or whine. Ring and pinion noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges,
and will tend to remain constant in pitch.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Drain the axle lubricant. Refer to the appropriate workshop manual for the draining procedures.
3. Remove the carrier assembly or the axle housing cover depending on the axle type. Refer to the
appropriate workshop manual for the service procedures.
4. Inspect the gear set for scoring or damage.
5. In the following steps, the movement of the contact pattern along the length is indicated as
toward the "heel" or "toe" of the differential ring gear.
6. Apply a marking compound to a third of the gear teeth on the differential ring gear. Rotate the
differential ring gear several complete turns in both directions until a good, clear tooth pattern is
obtained. Inspect the contact patterns on the ring gear teeth.
7. A good contact pattern should be centered on the tooth. It can also be slightly toward the toe.
There should always he some clearance between the contact pattern and the top of the tooth.
Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
8. A high, thick contact pattern that is worn more toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The high contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is not installed deep enough into the
carrier.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, A/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 5905
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

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

Axle Shaft: Description and Operation
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 (fixed 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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6363
^ 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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6369
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 6370
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6371
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 6373
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 6377
^ When was it first noticed?
^ Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
^ Did any abnormal occurrence coincide with or proceed it's appearance?
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2. Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that
the vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of
anything that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments
before taking the vehicle on the road.
3. Preparing For the Road Test
Observe the following when preparing for the road test:
^ Review the information recorded on the NVH Diagnostic Guide. It is important to know the
specific concern the customer has with the vehicle.
^ Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
distance away.
^ Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration.
This small vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving
component (reactor), due to contact with other components (transfer path).
^ Conduct the road test on a quiet street where it is safe to duplicate the vibration/noise. The ideal
testing route is an open, low-traffic area where it is possible to operate the vehicle at the speed in
which the condition occurs.
^ If possible, lower the radio antenna in order to minimize turbulence. Identify anything that could
potentially make noise or be a source of wind noise. Inspect the vehicle for add-on items that
create vibration/noise. Turn off the radio and the heating and cooling system blower.
^ The engine speed is an important factor in arriving at a final conclusion. Therefore, connect an
accurate tachometer to the engine, even if the vehicle has a tachometer. Use a tachometer that
has clearly defined increments of less than 50 rpm. This ensures an exact engine speed reading.
4. Verify the Customer Concern
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test, or both depends on the type of NVH
concern. A road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is
sensitive to torque. A drive engine run-up (DERU) or a neutral engine run-up (NERU) test identifies
noises and vibrations relating to engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always
be identifiable by carrying out these tests, however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried
out correctly.
5. Road Test
Note:
It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the concern.
During the road test. take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving
conditions. The customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this
information helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful
diagnosis. After reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding
to the next step of this process.
^ The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH
concern, especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
^ The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the concern is torque-related.
^ The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is vehicle speed-related.
^ The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the concern is engine speed-related.
^ The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension
components contribute to a vehicle speed-related concern.
^ The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
^ The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or
bumpy surface.
^ The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Run-up Test and the Engine Load Test. These
tests help to determine if the concern is engine

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6378
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 6379
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 > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6380
^ 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 6381
^ 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 > Transmission and Drivetrain > Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints > Wheel Bearing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6451
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

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

DRIVESHAFT - FRONT
The driveshaft is a tubular shaft which transfers torque from the engine, through the transmission to
the rear axle. Driveshafts; differ in length, diameter, and type of slip-yoke to accommodate various
wheelbase and powertrain combinations.
The two-piece driveshaft has a rear driveshaft and a front coupling shaft. The two-piece driveshaft
incorporates three single cardan universal joints and is supported with a driveshaft center bearing
support mounted to the frame.
NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is raised on a hoist, inspect the universal joint slip yoke boot for rips
or holes. Install new components if required.
NOTE: All front driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft and
universal joints to prevent overspray of any undercoating material.
The front driveshaft is connected to the case and the front drive axle by driveshaft flange yokes.

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 > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6689
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6695
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 6696
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 6697
engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis. Every rotating component will
have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate
software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents these
velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline
how Vibrate software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
^ Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
^ Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
^ Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
- An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will be
needed.
^ Provides pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The chassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier
bearings.
EngineEAR
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect
the noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power
steering pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear
teeth and for detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones.
The directional sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the
suspect component and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a
component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the
component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas
where there is weather-stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks,
vacuum leaks and evaporative emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a
multi-directional transmitter (operating in the ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The
transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the vehicle, the hand-held detector is
used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is approached, a beeping
sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit
The squeak and rattle repair kit contains lubricants and self-adhesive materials that can be used to
eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the following materials:
^ PVC (soft foam) tape
^ Urethane (hard foam) tape
^ Flocked (black fuzzy) tape
^ UHMW (frosted) tape
^ Squeak and rattle oil tube

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6699
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 6702
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 6703
^ 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 > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6704
speed-related.
^ The Neutral Run-up Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test when the
concern occurs at idle.
^ The Engine Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine load or torque. It also
helps to reproduce engine speed-related concerns that cannot be duplicated when carrying out the
Neutral Run-up Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
^ The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine
speed-related concerns.
^ The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify concerns occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slow Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported concern occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the
engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the concern is coming.
^ Attempt to identify the source of the concern.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Heavy Acceleration Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Accelerate hard from 0-64 km/h (0-40 mph).
^ Decelerate in a lower gear.
^ The concern is torque related if duplicated while carrying out this test.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Neutral Coast Down Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the concern occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
^ Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
^ If the concern was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test
to verify if the concern is engine speed related.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Downshift Speed Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
^ Drive at the engine rpm where the concern occurs.
^ The concern is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
^ If necessary, repeat this test using other gears and NEUTRAL to verify the results.
^ Proceed as necessary.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Manual Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Mount, M/T >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6705
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 6706
^ 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 6707
^ 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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 6777
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

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

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.

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.

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.
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
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

^ 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.

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.
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
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transfer Case > Case, Transfer Case > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 01-14-1 > Jul > 01 > Transfer Case - Inadvertent Shifts > Page 6887
^ 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.

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.

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.

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.
NOTE
AN UNCOMMANDED 4H OR 4L SHIFT DUE TO FALSE SHIFT MOTOR CONTACT PLATE

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Customer Interest for Control Module: > 01-14-1 > Jul > 01 > Transfer Case Inadvertent Shifts > Page 7121
^ 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.

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

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
The brake master cylinder fluid level warning switch is an integral part of the brake master cylinder
reservoir. It consists of a float containing a magnet and a reed switch mounted in the bottom of the
brake master cylinder reservoir.
When the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir gets to a predetermined level, the
floating magnet actuates the reed switch, causing the red brake warning indicator to illuminate.
Loss of brake fluid from either the primary (front) hydraulic circuit or secondary (rear) hydraulic
circuit will cause the warning indicator to activate. If the brake fluid level warning switch is
inoperative, the brake master cylinder reservoir must be installed new.

Valve > Component Information > Description and Operation
Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
The brake master cylinder fluid control valve regulates the hydraulic pressure in the rear hydraulic
circuit. It is located on the brake master cylinder and is screwed into the rear most outlet port.
When the brake pedal is applied, the full brake pressure passes through the brake master cylinder
fluid control valve to the rear hydraulic circuit 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 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 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 to the disc brake calipers to compensate for normal brake wear. Add brake fluid as
needed.
- A momentary or slight squirt of brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir upon
application of the brake pedal.
- A trace of brake fluid found on the outside of the power brake booster below the brake master
cylinder mounting flange. This condition results from the lubricating action of the brake master
cylinder wiping seal.

Information > Specifications > Page 7399
Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
Normal Conditions The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the
brake master cylinder is in need of repair. Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master
cylinder, the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and
fall during release. The net fluid level (after brake application and release) will remain unchanged.
Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting
flange. This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.
Abnormal Conditions Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be
wrong in the brake system. Refer to the Symptom Chart for abnormal condition diagnosis. See:
Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
Bypass Condition Test To perform this 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
a new master
cylinder installed.
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.

TEMPERATURES - LIGHTNING MODELS ONLY
FORD: 1999-2001 F-150
ISSUE Some Lightning model vehicles may exhibit a reduced power assist after the first two or
three brake applications during operation in freezing ambient temperatures. This may be caused by
current production routing of the brake booster vacuum hose allowing water to collect in the hose
which can freeze in cold ambient temperatures.
ACTION Verify condition only occurs during freezing ambient temperatures. Replace existing brake
booster hose with a new design service part. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove existing brake booster hose and discard.
2. Install new brake booster hose (1L3Z-9C482-AA). Secure new. hose by inserting retainer
(included) into the upper hole on the driver's side of the cowl trim panel (Figure 1).
3.. Road test and verify brake effectiveness.

Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
The brake master cylinder fluid level warning switch is an integral part of the brake master cylinder
reservoir. It consists of a float containing a magnet and a reed switch mounted in the bottom of the
brake master cylinder reservoir.
When the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir gets to a predetermined level, the
floating magnet actuates the reed switch, causing the red brake warning indicator to illuminate.
Loss of brake fluid from either the primary (front) hydraulic circuit or secondary (rear) hydraulic
circuit will cause the warning indicator to activate. If the brake fluid level warning switch is
inoperative, the brake master cylinder reservoir must be installed new.

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.

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 generant 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.
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.

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

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 generant 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.
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.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7662
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Circuit Breaker > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7663
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.

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 > Electrical Accessory Panel >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7679
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 Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Electrical Accessory Panel >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7680
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.

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.

> 02 > Audio System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7693
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.

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

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

HOW TO FIND 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7730
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7732
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7752
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7753
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7754
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7838
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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7840
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.

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 7869
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.

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.

System - Whining/Buzzing Noise From Speakers > Page 7882
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A
RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP . ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL
RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS
WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE
RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.
NOTE
SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL
PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999
RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the
frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the
fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel
pump is the cause of the radio noise:
1. Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition
key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position).
2. Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3. The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not
running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when
the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

HOW TO FIND 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 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

Information and Instructions > Page 7908
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.

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.

Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8014
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 8015
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

^ 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

Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8018
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8022
^ 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 > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8024
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 > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8025
^ Shift the transmission into DRIVE, and increase and decrease the engine rpm between an idle to
approximately 2000 rpm. Note the engine rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
^ Repeat the test in REVERSE.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test, inspect the engine and
transmission or transaxle mounts.
^ If the concern is definitely engine speed-related, carry out the Engine Accessory Test to narrow
down the source.
^ Proceed as necessary.
Engine Accessory Test
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Block the front and rear wheels, and apply the parking brake and the service brake, or injury to
personnel can result.
CAUTION:
Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage will
result.
Note:
A serpentine drive belt decreases the usefulness of this test. In these cases. use a vibration
analyzer, such as the EVA, to pinpoint accessory vibrations. An electronic listening device. such as
an EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
Remove the accessory drive belts.
^ Increase the engine mm to where the concern occurs.
^ If the vibration/noise is duplicated when carrying out this test. the belts and accessories are not
sources.
^ If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install each accessory belt,
one at a time, to locate the source.
Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure
To carry out this procedure, proceed as follows:
^ Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the
test conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for
up to three minutes.
^ Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the concern
temperature (if known) for 6-~ hours.
^ Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
^ Turn the key on. but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump. anti-lock brake system
(ABS) and air suspension system noises.
^ Start the engine.
^ CAUTION:
Never probe moving parts.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
^ Refer to Idle Noise/Vibration in the Symptom Chart to assist with the diagnosis.
6. Check OASIS/TSBs/Repair History
After verifying the customer concern, check for OASIS reports, TSBs and the vehicle repair history
for related concerns. If information relating to a diagnosis/repair is found, carry out the procedure(s)
specified in that information.
If no information is available from these sources, carry out the vehicle preliminary inspection to
eliminate any obvious faults.
7. Diagnostic Procedure
Qualifying the concern by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the concern.
Always use the "symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This
diagnostic method divides the problem into related areas to correct the customer concern.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8026
^ 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.

Alignment: Description and Operation
WHEEL ALIGNMENT ANGLES
Caster and camber are adjusted by means of adjustment slots cut into the upper control arm
mounting brackets. Toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rod adjusting sleeve.
Negative and Positive Camber
CAMBER
Negative and Positive Camber Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front.
Camber can be positive or negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.
Caster And Frame Angle
CASTER
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed
from the side. The caster specifications will give the vehicle the best directional stability
characteristics when loaded and driven. The caster setting is not related to tire wear.

Wheel Track
WHEEL TRACK
Dogtracking
DOGTRACKING
Dogtracking is the condition in which the rear axle is not square to the chassis. Heavily crowned
roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
WANDER
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel
corrections to maintain a straight path down a level road.
SHIMMY
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel
resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire
contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
NIBBLE
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various
road surfaces and observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering wheel.
POOR RETURNABILITY/STICKY STEERING
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to described the poor return of the steering wheel to
center after a turn or the steering correction is completed.
DRIFT/PULL
Pull is a tugging sensation, felt by the hands on the steering wheel, that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.
Ford F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Page 8107
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel. ^
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (i.e., wind, road camber).
POOR GROOVE FEEL
Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the steering gear as
the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or straight-ahead
(under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center. " ^
Under 20 degrees of turn, most of the turning effort that builds up comes from the mesh of gear
teeth in the steering gear. In this range, the steering wheel is not yet turned enough to feel the
effort from the self-aligning forces at the road wheel or tire patch.
^ In the diagnosis of a roadability problem, it is important to understand the difference between
wander and poor groove feel.

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 generant 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.
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. NOTE: Make sure the wheels are in the straight-ahead position.
Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.
2. Remove the driver air bag module.
3. Remove the steering wheel bolt.

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 8245
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.

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

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8367
^ 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.

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

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8373
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 8374
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8375
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 > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8377
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8381
^ 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 8382
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 8383
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8384
^ 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Wheel Bearing > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8385
^ 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.

Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8455
^ 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.

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

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.

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8536
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

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

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

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8544
^ 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.

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8546
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.

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8547
^ 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.

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8548
^ 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.

WARNING:
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is harmful to health and potentially lethal. Repair
exhaust system leaks immediately. Never operate the engine in an enclosed area.
WARNING:
Exhaust system components are hot.
Note:
Neutralize the exhaust system to relieve strain on mounts which can be sufficiently bound up to
transmit vibration as if grounded.
1. WARNING:
The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or
towing an air suspension vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension
switch. Failure to do so can result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can

5. Tighten the muffler connection.
6. Tighten all the exhaust hanger clamps and flanges (tighten the exhaust manifold flange joint
last).
^ Verify there is adequate clearance to prevent grounding at any point in the system. Make sure
that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
^ After neutralization. the rubber in the exhaust hangers should show some flexibility when
movement is applied to the exhaust system.
^ With the exhaust system installed securely and cooled. the rear hanger should be angled
forward.
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Test the exhaust system for normal operation.
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 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.

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 8650
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

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

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

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

Procedure > Page 8654
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 Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 8658
^ 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.

Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 8660
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.

Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 8661
^ 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.

Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Tires: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness
Procedure > Page 8662
^ 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.

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.

^ 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.

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

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8781
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
- If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
- A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive axle or
rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins when it reaches maximum intensity.
and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
- Frequencies should be read in the "avg" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an 8 Hz
through 12 Hz.
d. Determine what the normal frequency is for the vehicle at a specified speed. Multiply the rear
axle ratio by the Hz (1 Hz per every 5 mph). Example: A vehicle travelling 50 mph with a 3.08 rear
axle ratio, the acceptable amount of Hz for the vehicle at that speed would be 10 (1 Hz per every 5
mph) X 3.08 (rear axle ratio) = 30.8 Hz.
e. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
f. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another
reading.

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

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

Tracing Powder
Tracing powder is used to check both the uniformity of contact and the tension of a seal against its
sealing surface. These tests are usually done when a suspected air leak/noise appears to originate
from the seal area or during the alignment and adjustment of a component to a weatherstrip.
Tracing powder can be ordered from Crest Industries as ATR Leak Trace. Their toll-free number is
1-800-822-4100. Carry out the tracing powder test as follows:
a. Clean the weatherstrip.
b. Spray the tracing powder on the mating surface only.
c. Close the door completely. Do not slam the door.
d. Open the door. An imprint is made where the weatherstrip contacted the mating surface seal.
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8789
^ 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.

Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8791
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.

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8792
^ 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.

Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Wheels: > 99-11-1 > Jun > 99 > Comprehensive
Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8793
^ 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.

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.

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8894
^ Advance through the flowchart from left to right.
^ Match the operating condition to the symptom.
^ Verify the symptom.
^ Identify which category or system could cause the symptom.
^ Refer to the diagnostic symptom chart that the flowchart refers to.
Glossary of Terms
Acceleration-Light An increase in speed at less than half throttle.
Acceleration-Medium An increase in speed at half to nearly full throttle, such as 0-97 km/h (0-60
mph) in approximately 30 seconds.
Acceleration-Heavy An increase in speed at one-half to full throttle, such as 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph)
in approximately 20 seconds.
Ambient Temperature The surrounding or prevailing temperature.
Amplitude The quantity or amount of energy produced by a vibrating component (G force). An
extreme vibration has a high amplitude. A mild vibration has a low amplitude.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8900
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 8901
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8902
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

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8904
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8908
^ 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

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8909
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 8910
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 8911
^ 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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Wheel Bearing > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8912
^ 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.

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.

Technical Service Bulletins > Comprehensive Noise/Vibration/Harshness Procedure > Page 8982
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct, a thinner drive pinion shim is needed. A decrease
will move the drive pinion toward the differential ring gear.
9. A high, thin contact pattern that is worn toward the toe.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The drive pinion depth is correct. Increase the differential ring gear backlash.
10. A contact pattern that is worn in the center of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.
^ The low contact pattern indicates that the drive pinion is installed too deep into the carrier.
^ The differential ring gear backlash is correct. A thicker drive pinion shim is needed.
11. A contact pattern that is worn at the top of the differential ring gear tooth toward the heel.
^ Tooth contact pattern shown on the drive side of the gear teeth.

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

Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation
An A/C evaporator core orifice or O-ring seal is not considered a major component, but the A/C
evaporator core orifice should be replaced whenever the A/C compressor is replaced for lack of
performance.
The suction accumulator/drier is mounted to the A/C accumulator bracket to the right of the vehicle
centerline. The inlet tube 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

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.
Blower Motor Resistor Coils
Blower Motor Thermal Limiter
- 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.

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation
NOTE:
- Internal A/C compressor components are not serviced separately. The FS-10 A/C compressor is
serviced only as an assembly. The A/C clutch, A/C clutch pulley, A/C clutch field coil and the shaft
seal are serviceable.
- Whenever the A/C compressor is replaced, also replace the A/C evaporator core orifice.
Compressor Clutch Components
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 plate and hub
assembly is drawn toward the A/C clutch pulley .
- The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and hub assembly and the A/C clutch pulley together as
one unit, causing the compressor shaft to rotate.
- When B+ is removed from the A/C clutch field coil, springs in the clutch plate and hub assembly
move the clutch plate away from the A/C clutch pulley.

NOTE: Replacement of the 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 A/C condenser core has the following characteristics:
- It is an aluminum fin and tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator.
- It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat and
by condensing gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.

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

Control Assembly: Description and Operation
The manual climate control system heats or cools the vehicle interior depending on the function
selector position and the temperature selected. Function selector position determines heating or
cooling and air distribution. The temperature blend control setting determines air temperature.
The manual climate control components are used to:
- select air inlet source (outside or recirculated).
- select blower motor speed.
- select discharge air temperature (temperature blend).
- select discharge air location (defrost, panel, floor).

- select A/C compressor clutch operation.
Control System Inputs The climate control assembly has three system controls: The A/C heater function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve with two electrical
switches to supply battery positive voltage (B+) to the A/C clutch circuit and the blower motor
control circuit.
- The temperature selection is accomplished with a potentiometer connected to the electric blend
door actuator that controls positioning of the temperature blend door. Movement of the control knob
from COOL (blue) to WARM (red) causes a corresponding movement on the air temperature
control door and determines the temperature that the system will maintain.
- The blower motor switch controls blower motor speed by adding or bypassing resistors in the
heater blower motor switch resistor.

Coupler HVAC: Description and Operation
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.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation
NOTE: Replacement of the 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 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 the refrigerant and the oil through the A/C
evaporator core.

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

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.

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection
HEATER CORE
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.
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 replacement. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must he tested
by following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core pressure test. Perform
a system inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly.
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, or
- the thermostat is not working properly.
PRESSURE TEST
Use the Radiator/Heater Core Pressure Tester to perform the pressure test. 1. Drain the coolant
from the cooling system.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.
2. Disconnect the heater water hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater water
hose, approximately 101 mm (4 inches) long on each heater core tube.
4. Fill the heater core and heater water hoses with water and install Plug 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 perform the bench test.
BENCH TEST
1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core.

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

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

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
NOTE: Replacement of the 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 the 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 Scharder-type valve stem core is installed in the fitting so that the A/C pressure cut-off
switch can be removed without discharging the A/C system.

Receiver Dryer: Description and Operation
An A/C evaporator core orifice or O-ring seal is not considered a major component, but the A/C
evaporator core orifice should be replaced whenever the A/C compressor is replaced for lack of
performance.
The suction accumulator/drier is mounted to the A/C accumulator bracket to the right of the vehicle
centerline. The inlet tube 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

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.

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

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 the 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 2,999-3,276 kPa (435-475 psi),
the switch contacts open, disengaging the A/C compressor.
- When the pressure drops to approximately 1,585-2,000 kPa (230-290 psi), the contacts close to
allow operation of the A/C compressor.
- It is not necessary to discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C pressure cut-off 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 151-173 kPa (22-25 psi).
- The contacts close when the suction pressure rises to 268-324 kPa (39-47 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 discharge the refrigerant system to remove the A/C cycling switch.

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 serviced separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, the RCM will 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 the two-digit
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 DLC,
using the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the
system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the GEM to activate an audible chime. The
chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag
indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will
be displayed.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors determine that an air bag deployment is required. The backup power supply will
deplete its stored energy approximately one 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 serviced separately.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected while the ignition switch is in
the RUN position, the RCM will 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 the two-digit
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 DLC,
using the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester. If the air bag indicator does not function, and the
system detects a fault condition, the RCM will signal the GEM to activate an audible chime. The
chime is a series of five sets of five tone bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag
indicator require repair.
LFCs are prioritized. If two or more faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest
priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will
be displayed.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy
the air bags in the event that the ignition circuit is damaged in a collision before the safing and air
bag sensors determine that an air bag deployment is required. The backup power supply will
deplete its stored energy approximately one 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 Component Test.
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 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
inches) can be added to the belt length by using a safety belt extension. Safety belt extensions are
available through the dealership 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 position and one for the rear seating position and 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 the extension to change
the fit of the shoulder belt across the torso.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation
Dual Locking Mode Retractors
NOTE: When replacing a dual locking mode retractor, the retractor should be checked to make
sure it is not in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode after installation in the stowed
position.
All outboard continuous-loop, three-point retractor systems, except the driver position, are
equipped with the dual locking mode system.
The Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode will allow the occupant freedom of movement,
locking tight only on hard braking, hard cornering, or an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph).
The ELR mode helps to reduce the forward movement of the driver and passengers. The ELR
mode is continuously in operation at all seating positions.
The ALR portion of this system does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. The ALR mode
is used when locking a child seat in an outboard seating position or when a tight belt fit is desired.
The ALR mode is disengaged when the webbing is free to move in or out of the retractor. The ALR
mode is automatically engaged when the webbing is fully extracted from the retractor and then
allowed to retract. As the webbing is retracted back onto the spool, an audible clicking sound is
made indicating the retractor is in ALR mode. The ALR mode is automatically disengaged when
most of the webbing is retracted back onto the spool.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 9455
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.

^ To program (or reprogram) the keyless entry remote transmitter into the RAP module, perform
the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN. If the RAP
module has successfully entered program
mode, it will lock and then unlock all doors.
2. Within 20 seconds, press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will
lock and then unlock to confirm that each keyless
entry remote transmitter has been programmed. Repeat this step for each transmitter.
3. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait several seconds
and press the button again. If the door locks still fail
to respond, refer to Inspection and Verification. See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up 20 seconds after step 2, to exit program
mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has
been programmed (or reprogrammed), the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors one last time
to confirm.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > General Module > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9494
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

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9495
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.

General Module: Description and Operation
NOTE
- Each vehicle has either a Generic Electronic Module (GEM) or Central Timer Module (CTM). The
difference in functionality is defined in the GEM/CTM Feature Matrix.
- The GEM/CTM inputs and outputs are designed to withstand continuous exposure to a short
circuit to ground or battery voltage without being damaged.
The multifunction modules consist of the following:
- Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module
- Central Timer Module (CTM) with diagnostic connector
- Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
GEM/CTM Feature Matrix
Ignition Switch Positions The position of the ignition switch is very important to proper GEM/CTM
operation. Often times, erratic or unexpected operation can be traced to problems on these
GEM/CTM inputs. The following is a brief description of five ignition switch positions.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM/CTM
RUN and RUN/ACC input terminals.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM/CTM
RUN/ACC input terminal only.
When the ignition switch is in the START position, battery voltage should be present at the
GEM/CTM start/clutch depressed input.
The GEM module does not have an OFF or LOCK switch state input. The GEM will assume the
OFF or LOCK position when there are no RUN, ACC, or START signals present.

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.

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

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional
Equipment > General Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9624
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional
Equipment > General Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9625
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional
Equipment > General Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9626
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.

General Module: Description and Operation
NOTE
- Each vehicle has either a Generic Electronic Module (GEM) or Central Timer Module (CTM). The
difference in functionality is defined in the GEM/CTM Feature Matrix.
- The GEM/CTM inputs and outputs are designed to withstand continuous exposure to a short
circuit to ground or battery voltage without being damaged.
The multifunction modules consist of the following:
- Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module
- Central Timer Module (CTM) with diagnostic connector
- Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
GEM/CTM Feature Matrix
Ignition Switch Positions The position of the ignition switch is very important to proper GEM/CTM
operation. Often times, erratic or unexpected operation can be traced to problems on these
GEM/CTM inputs. The following is a brief description of five ignition switch positions.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM/CTM
RUN and RUN/ACC input terminals.
When the ignition switch is in the ACC position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM/CTM
RUN/ACC input terminal only.
When the ignition switch is in the START position, battery voltage should be present at the
GEM/CTM start/clutch depressed input.
The GEM module does not have an OFF or LOCK switch state input. The GEM will assume the
OFF or LOCK position when there are no RUN, ACC, or START signals present.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9678
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 Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9679
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9680
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9814
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9815
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9816
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

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Key-Pad > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Keyless Entry - Keypad Diagnostics > Page 10078
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.

Programming
NOTE:
^ All keyless entry remote transmitters must be programmed at the same time.
^ To program (or reprogram) the keyless entry remote transmitter into the RAP module, perform
the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, ending in RUN. If the RAP
module has successfully entered program
mode, it will lock and then unlock all doors.
2. Within 20 seconds, press any button on a keyless entry remote transmitter, and the doors will
lock and then unlock to confirm that each keyless
entry remote transmitter has been programmed. Repeat this step for each transmitter.
3. If the door locks do not respond for any keyless entry remote transmitter, wait several seconds
and press the button again. If the door locks still fail
to respond, refer to Inspection and Verification. See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, or wait up 20 seconds after step 2, to exit program
mode. If a keyless entry remote transmitter has
been programmed (or reprogrammed), the RAP module will lock and unlock all doors one last time
to confirm.

^ 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

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 10133
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Paint: > Page 10149
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (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 10290
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).

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.

Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Brake Shoe: > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch
Inspection > Page 10398
Disconnect the SCDS and inspect the harness connector (See Figure 3) for the presence of brake
fluid.
^ All vehicles except 1993 Mark VIII: If there is no evidence of brake fluid on the connector, install a
Fused Jumper Harness.
- On 1993 Mark VIII vehicles with no evidence of brake fluid on the SCDS harness connector,
replace the Speed Control Deactivation Switch but do not inspect or apply electrical grease to the
speed control servo connector.
^ If there is evidence of brake fluid on the connector, replace the Speed Control Deactivation
Switch, inspect and apply electrical grease to the appropriate connectors.
FUSED JUMPER HARNESS (FJH) INSTALLATION
1. Connect the fused jumper harness to the SCDS and the vehicle harness.
2. Secure the jumper harness to the existing harness with tie straps, making sure the fuse holders
are positioned vertically with the cap facing upward. Wrap the tie straps underneath, then over the
top of the existing harness and verify proper fuse holder orientation. See Figure 4.
SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (SCDS) REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
The brake pedal must not be depressed during the removal and replacement of the SCDS.
1. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder and, if necessary, fill to maximum fluid level.
NOTICE:
DO NOT apply fluid to the electrical connector or damage to the connector may occur.
NOTICE:
The 1994 Capri Brake Repair Kit contains a brass sealing washer. Install the brass washer onto the
SCDS before installing it on the vehicle.

Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Brake Shoe: > 05S28S15 > Apr > 08 > Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch
Inspection > Page 10399
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.

WARNING: Asbestos fiber dust can be present on brake and clutch assemblies and is hazardous
to health if inhaled.
Brake and clutch assemblies must be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner recommended for use with
asbestos fibers, such as a brake/clutch/service vacuum. The bag must be labeled per OSHA
instructions, sealed, and the trash hauler notified as to the bag's contents.
If a vacuum suitable for asbestos is not available, cleaning must be done wet. If dust generation is
still possible, technicians must wear government-approved toxic dust purifying respirators.
The occupational safety and health act (OSHA) requires areas where asbestos dust generation is
possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs. Only technicians performing brake or clutch
repair are to be present in the area.
NOTE: After adjusting the rear brake shoes and linings, check the parking brake for proper
operation. Make sure the parking brake cable equalizer operates freely.
1. Measure the brake drum inside diameter.
- Use a brake adjustment gauge.
2. Adjust the rear brake shoes and linings.
- Rotate the brake adjuster screw until the rear brake shoes and linings touch the tool.

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.

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

Recall - Cruise Control Deactivation Switch Inspection > Page 10520
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.

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.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10620
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10621
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 Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10622
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10707
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 Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10708
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 Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10709
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 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

01-14-1 > Jul > 01 > Transfer Case - Inadvertent Shifts > Page 10750
^ 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.

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

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.

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Relays and Modules - Instrument Panel >
Instrument Panel Control Module > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Keyless Entry - Keypad Diagnostics > Page 10872
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.

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

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10984
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10985
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 10986
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.

line applications.
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.

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.

Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Center Mounted Brake Lamp: > 00-9-1 > May > 00 > A/T Cooler - Fluid
Leaks at Radiator > Page 11027
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 following components are under the control of the battery saver relay:
^ Delayed accessory relay.
^ Overhead interior lamp with map lamps.
^ Underhood lamp switch.
^ Glove box lamp switch.
^ Overhead interior lamp switch.
^ Interior lamp relay coil.
The battery saver relay becomes active (relay coil is energized) when the GEM is in awake mode
and is deactivated (relay coil is de-energized) in sleep mode.
The battery saver will remain active until the ignition state is not ACC or RUN and 45 minutes have
passed since last active input. At that time, the relay will be deactivated and power to the above
circuits will terminate.
Five minutes after the battery saver relay has become deactivated, the GEM will go into a lower
power state known as sleep mode. In the sleep mode, the GEM will deactivate all outputs and will
monitor select inputs.
Logical characteristics of the GEM battery saver mode are as follows:
Feature Inputs:
^ Sleep/Awake mode status.
Feature Outputs:
^ Battery saver relay control (Open circuit in sleep mode, grounded when awake).

Hazard Warning Switch: Diagnostic Aids
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 > Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Lamps > Hazard Warning Switch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11114
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Lamps > Hazard Warning Switch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11115
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Lamps > Hazard Warning Switch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11116
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 11239
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 11240
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 11241
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 following components are under the control of the battery saver relay:
^ Delayed accessory relay.
^ Overhead interior lamp with map lamps.
^ Underhood lamp switch.
^ Glove box lamp switch.
^ Overhead interior lamp switch.
^ Interior lamp relay coil.
The battery saver relay becomes active (relay coil is energized) when the GEM is in awake mode
and is deactivated (relay coil is de-energized) in sleep mode.
The battery saver will remain active until the ignition state is not ACC or RUN and 45 minutes have
passed since last active input. At that time, the relay will be deactivated and power to the above
circuits will terminate.
Five minutes after the battery saver relay has become deactivated, the GEM will go into a lower
power state known as sleep mode. In the sleep mode, the GEM will deactivate all outputs and will
monitor select inputs.
Logical characteristics of the GEM battery saver mode are as follows:
Feature Inputs:
^ Sleep/Awake mode status.
Feature Outputs:
^ Battery saver relay control (Open circuit in sleep mode, grounded when awake).

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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11396
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11397
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11398
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

Hazard Warning Switch: Flow of Diagnosis
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the multifunction switch 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 tester menu. If NGS Tester
does not communicate with the vehicle: ^
check that the program card is correctly 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. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the NGS responds with:
^ CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, Diagnose the Module
Communications Network.
^ NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Generic Electronic Module (GEM) or Central Timer Module (CTM), go
to Pinpoint Test A. See: Pinpoint Tests/Test A: No Communication With the GEM or CTM
^ SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), erase
the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the GEM/CTM.
6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the GEM/CTM Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. See:
Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/GEM/CTM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to Symptom Chart to continue
diagnostics. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

Tail Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11532
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11533
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 F 150 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 3 (1999))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 11534
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.

Turn Signal Switch: Flow of Diagnosis
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the multifunction switch 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 tester menu. If NGS Tester
does not communicate with the vehicle: ^
check that the program card is correctly 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. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the NGS responds with:
^ CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, Diagnose the Module
Communications Network.
^ NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Generic Electronic Module (GEM) or Central Timer Module (CTM), go
to Pinpoint Test A.
^ SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), erase
the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the GEM/CTM.
6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the GEM/CTM Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. See:
Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/GEM/CTM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to Symptom Chart to continue
diagnostics. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

WATER LEAK - SLIDING REAR WINDOW - VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH 4/1999
FORD: 1997-1999 F-150, F-250 LD
ISSUE Some vehicles may exhibit a water leak around the rear (sliding) window. This may be
caused by a crack in the plastic frame around the window and/or deterioration of the butyl seal
between plastic frame and cab.
ACTION Remove the rear sliding window module and apply a gusset seal. Reinstall the same
window module. The gusset seal should reduce the possibility of leaks. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
PREVIOUSLY, WHEN A SLIDING GLASS REAR WINDOW ON AN F-150/F-250 LD WAS FOUND
TO BE LEAKING, THE SERVICE PROCEDURE WAS TO REPLACE THE LEAKING WINDOW
MODULE WITH A NEW SLIDING WINDOW MODULE. THE NEW PROCEDURE DETAILED IN
THIS TSB DESCRIBES HOW TO USE THE SERVICE FIX SEAL TO REPAIR AND REUSE A
REAR WINDOW MODULE.
LEAK CHECK THE REAR WINDOW
1. From inside the cab, check to make sure sliding pane is latched closed and area around window
is initially dry.
2. Spray water at moderate pressure into margin between window module and halo moulding
around window module.
3. From inside cab, check for water dripping down inside window. In particular, look for drips
coming down the side (fixed) panes of the window.
4. If water is coming through the seals that seal the sliding pane itself (a less common leak path),
the gusset seal will not correct the leak and the window module will need to be replaced.
APPLY REAR WINDOW GUSSET SEAL
1. If rear window is found to be leaking, remove it according to Section 501-11 of the appropriate
year F-150/F-250 LD Workshop Manual. Take care when removing it to not damage it or the cab
sheet metal around it. Try to minimize bending of the window module.
NOTE:
IF THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT PRIOR TO 2/1998, THE HALO MOULDING (STILL ATTACHED TO
THE CAB) THAT NORMALLY FRAMES THE REAR WINDOW MODULE HAS TABS ON IT THAT
NEED TO BE REMOVED. THESE TABS (NOT PRESENT ON VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 2/1998)
HANG DOWN FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TOP OF THE HALO MOULDING. THEY
ENGAGE SLOTS IN THE BACK OF THE TOP OF THE WINDOW MODULE AND MUST BE A
REMOVED PRIOR TO REINSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW MODULE.
2. Check if the window module is repairable.
a. Look for vertical cracks in the plastic division bars that separate the fixed from the sliding panes.
b. Look for separation of the side panes from the plastic frame.
c. If either of these conditions are present (usually caused by excessive bending during removal),
the module can't be repaired and needs to be replaced with a new module.
3. If the window module is repairable, obtain the Gusset Seal (XL3Z-1542086-AA) and the
Standard Butyl Sealing Cord (E69Z-19562-A).
4. Thoroughly clean sheet metal opening in cab of residue from previous butyl seal. Butyl can be
used to "blot" butyl off of the sheet metal. If the surface is not properly cleaned of all residue, the
window may leak after it is reinstalled.

Bulletins > Customer Interest for Window Frame: > 01-1-11 > Jan > 01 > Sliding Rear Window - Water Leaks to Interior >
Page 11735
5. Clean the back of the window module of the previous butyl seal using the methods described.
Additionally, clean the top of the window module. Pay particular attention to the lip of the glass that
extends above the frame. This lip of glass (the side on top of the module) must be clean for the
gusset seal to adhere properly.
6. Place short (25 mm/1 ") sections of standard butyl sealing cord behind the gaps between the
side panes of glass and the division bars (Figure 4). Make sure the butyl seats against the plastic
frame at the bottom of the gap. If this is not done, the gaps provide a leak path for water to get by
the gusset seal.

7. Leaving the release tape in place, unpack gusset seal and refer to remaining Figures 1-3 to
understand how the seal will be applied to the window module.
8. Notice that a standard butyl sealing cord is applied to the window before the fix is applied (Figure
2).
9. Leaving the release tape on, apply a standard butyl sealing cord to the back of the window
module taking care to lay the butyl in the "track" moulded into the plastic window frame.

11. Check (Figure 1) and find the pre-attached butyl seal that is to be applied to the back edge of
the glass. This edge of the gusset seal is thick, rather than flat. Remove the release tape from this
butyl seal only.
12. Once installed the gusset seal should extend from one stud on the sloping side of the window
module to the opposite stud on the opposite sloping side of the window module (Figures 2 and 3).
In the process, it should cover the entire top of the plastic frame behind the glass and down to just
above the row of studs across the back of the module.
13. Starting at one side of the module, apply the butyl bead (exposed in Step 12) to the crevice
between the back of the glass and the top of the module. It is important that the butyl seals to the
glass in order for the gusset seal to not leak. Additionally, try to minimize the protrusion of the seal
onto the visible side of the glass. It should be below the rounded edge of the glass.
14. Moving across the top of the module, apply the butyl bead on the edge of the gusset seal to the
back of one fixed pane, the plastic lip above the sliding pane, and then across the back edge of the
other fixed pane. Make sure that the butyl on the gusset seal seals to the two (2) small pieces of
butyl applied in Step 6.
15. Remove the release tape from the standard seal applied in Step 9. Refer to Figure 2 to see
how the gusset seal is applied to the standard butyl seal. Starting at one side, stick the back of the
gusset seal to the standard butyl seal. At this point, the gusset seal should cover the entire top of
the window module down to the row of studs.
16. Remove the release tape from the second butyl strip on the gusset seal. This will seal to the
back of the cab.
17. Reinstall the window module according to Section 501-11 of the appropriate year F-150/F-250
LD Workshop Manual.

WATER LEAK - SLIDING REAR WINDOW - VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH 4/1999
FORD: 1997-1999 F-150, F-250 LD
ISSUE Some vehicles may exhibit a water leak around the rear (sliding) window. This may be
caused by a crack in the plastic frame around the window and/or deterioration of the butyl seal
between plastic frame and cab.
ACTION Remove the rear sliding window module and apply a gusset seal. Reinstall the same
window module. The gusset seal should reduce the possibility of leaks. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
PREVIOUSLY, WHEN A SLIDING GLASS REAR WINDOW ON AN F-150/F-250 LD WAS FOUND
TO BE LEAKING, THE SERVICE PROCEDURE WAS TO REPLACE THE LEAKING WINDOW
MODULE WITH A NEW SLIDING WINDOW MODULE. THE NEW PROCEDURE DETAILED IN
THIS TSB DESCRIBES HOW TO USE THE SERVICE FIX SEAL TO REPAIR AND REUSE A
REAR WINDOW MODULE.
LEAK CHECK THE REAR WINDOW
1. From inside the cab, check to make sure sliding pane is latched closed and area around window
is initially dry.
2. Spray water at moderate pressure into margin between window module and halo moulding
around window module.
3. From inside cab, check for water dripping down inside window. In particular, look for drips
coming down the side (fixed) panes of the window.
4. If water is coming through the seals that seal the sliding pane itself (a less common leak path),
the gusset seal will not correct the leak and the window module will need to be replaced.
APPLY REAR WINDOW GUSSET SEAL
1. If rear window is found to be leaking, remove it according to Section 501-11 of the appropriate
year F-150/F-250 LD Workshop Manual. Take care when removing it to not damage it or the cab
sheet metal around it. Try to minimize bending of the window module.
NOTE:
IF THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT PRIOR TO 2/1998, THE HALO MOULDING (STILL ATTACHED TO
THE CAB) THAT NORMALLY FRAMES THE REAR WINDOW MODULE HAS TABS ON IT THAT
NEED TO BE REMOVED. THESE TABS (NOT PRESENT ON VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 2/1998)
HANG DOWN FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TOP OF THE HALO MOULDING. THEY
ENGAGE SLOTS IN THE BACK OF THE TOP OF THE WINDOW MODULE AND MUST BE A
REMOVED PRIOR TO REINSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW MODULE.
2. Check if the window module is repairable.
a. Look for vertical cracks in the plastic division bars that separate the fixed from the sliding panes.
b. Look for separation of the side panes from the plastic frame.
c. If either of these conditions are present (usually caused by excessive bending during removal),
the module can't be repaired and needs to be replaced with a new module.
3. If the window module is repairable, obtain the Gusset Seal (XL3Z-1542086-AA) and the
Standard Butyl Sealing Cord (E69Z-19562-A).
4. Thoroughly clean sheet metal opening in cab of residue from previous butyl seal. Butyl can be
used to "blot" butyl off of the sheet metal. If the surface is not properly cleaned of all residue, the
window may leak after it is reinstalled.

Interior > Page 11745
5. Clean the back of the window module of the previous butyl seal using the methods described.
Additionally, clean the top of the window module. Pay particular attention to the lip of the glass that
extends above the frame. This lip of glass (the side on top of the module) must be clean for the
gusset seal to adhere properly.
6. Place short (25 mm/1 ") sections of standard butyl sealing cord behind the gaps between the
side panes of glass and the division bars (Figure 4). Make sure the butyl seats against the plastic
frame at the bottom of the gap. If this is not done, the gaps provide a leak path for water to get by
the gusset seal.

7. Leaving the release tape in place, unpack gusset seal and refer to remaining Figures 1-3 to
understand how the seal will be applied to the window module.
8. Notice that a standard butyl sealing cord is applied to the window before the fix is applied (Figure
2).
9. Leaving the release tape on, apply a standard butyl sealing cord to the back of the window
module taking care to lay the butyl in the "track" moulded into the plastic window frame.

11. Check (Figure 1) and find the pre-attached butyl seal that is to be applied to the back edge of
the glass. This edge of the gusset seal is thick, rather than flat. Remove the release tape from this
butyl seal only.
12. Once installed the gusset seal should extend from one stud on the sloping side of the window
module to the opposite stud on the opposite sloping side of the window module (Figures 2 and 3).
In the process, it should cover the entire top of the plastic frame behind the glass and down to just
above the row of studs across the back of the module.
13. Starting at one side of the module, apply the butyl bead (exposed in Step 12) to the crevice
between the back of the glass and the top of the module. It is important that the butyl seals to the
glass in order for the gusset seal to not leak. Additionally, try to minimize the protrusion of the seal
onto the visible side of the glass. It should be below the rounded edge of the glass.
14. Moving across the top of the module, apply the butyl bead on the edge of the gusset seal to the
back of one fixed pane, the plastic lip above the sliding pane, and then across the back edge of the
other fixed pane. Make sure that the butyl on the gusset seal seals to the two (2) small pieces of
butyl applied in Step 6.
15. Remove the release tape from the standard seal applied in Step 9. Refer to Figure 2 to see
how the gusset seal is applied to the standard butyl seal. Starting at one side, stick the back of the
gusset seal to the standard butyl seal. At this point, the gusset seal should cover the entire top of
the window module down to the row of studs.
16. Remove the release tape from the second butyl strip on the gusset seal. This will seal to the
back of the cab.
17. Reinstall the window module according to Section 501-11 of the appropriate year F-150/F-250
LD Workshop Manual.

WATER LEAK - SLIDING REAR WINDOW - VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH 4/1999
FORD: 1997-1999 F-150, F-250 LD
ISSUE Some vehicles may exhibit a water leak around the rear (sliding) window. This may be
caused by a crack in the plastic frame around the window and/or deterioration of the butyl seal
between plastic frame and cab.
ACTION Remove the rear sliding window module and apply a gusset seal. Reinstall the same
window module. The gusset seal should reduce the possibility of leaks. Refer to the following
Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
PREVIOUSLY, WHEN A SLIDING GLASS REAR WINDOW ON AN F-150/F-250 LD WAS FOUND
TO BE LEAKING, THE SERVICE PROCEDURE WAS TO REPLACE THE LEAKING WINDOW
MODULE WITH A NEW SLIDING WINDOW MODULE. THE NEW PROCEDURE DETAILED IN
THIS TSB DESCRIBES HOW TO USE THE SERVICE FIX SEAL TO REPAIR AND REUSE A
REAR WINDOW MODULE.
LEAK CHECK THE REAR WINDOW
1. From inside the cab, check to make sure sliding pane is latched closed and area around window
is initially dry.
2. Spray water at moderate pressure into margin between window module and halo moulding
around window module.
3. From inside cab, check for water dripping down inside window. In particular, look for drips
coming down the side (fixed) panes of the window.
4. If water is coming through the seals that seal the sliding pane itself (a less common leak path),
the gusset seal will not correct the leak and the window module will need to be replaced.
APPLY REAR WINDOW GUSSET SEAL
1. If rear window is found to be leaking, remove it according to Section 501-11 of the appropriate
year F-150/F-250 LD Workshop Manual. Take care when removing it to not damage it or the cab
sheet metal around it. Try to minimize bending of the window module.
NOTE:
IF THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT PRIOR TO 2/1998, THE HALO MOULDING (STILL ATTACHED TO
THE CAB) THAT NORMALLY FRAMES THE REAR WINDOW MODULE HAS TABS ON IT THAT
NEED TO BE REMOVED. THESE TABS (NOT PRESENT ON VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 2/1998)
HANG DOWN FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TOP OF THE HALO MOULDING. THEY
ENGAGE SLOTS IN THE BACK OF THE TOP OF THE WINDOW MODULE AND MUST BE A
REMOVED PRIOR TO REINSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW MODULE.
2. Check if the window module is repairable.
a. Look for vertical cracks in the plastic division bars that separate the fixed from the sliding panes.
b. Look for separation of the side panes from the plastic frame.
c. If either of these conditions are present (usually caused by excessive bending during removal),
the module can't be repaired and needs to be replaced with a new module.
3. If the window module is repairable, obtain the Gusset Seal (XL3Z-1542086-AA) and the
Standard Butyl Sealing Cord (E69Z-19562-A).
4. Thoroughly clean sheet metal opening in cab of residue from previous butyl seal. Butyl can be
used to "blot" butyl off of the sheet metal. If the surface is not properly cleaned of all residue, the
window may leak after it is reinstalled.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windows > Window Seal > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 01-1-11 > Jan > 01 > Sliding Rear Window - Water Leaks to Interior > Page 11802
5. Clean the back of the window module of the previous butyl seal using the methods described.
Additionally, clean the top of the window module. Pay particular attention to the lip of the glass that
extends above the frame. This lip of glass (the side on top of the module) must be clean for the
gusset seal to adhere properly.
6. Place short (25 mm/1 ") sections of standard butyl sealing cord behind the gaps between the
side panes of glass and the division bars (Figure 4). Make sure the butyl seats against the plastic
frame at the bottom of the gap. If this is not done, the gaps provide a leak path for water to get by
the gusset seal.

Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 01-1-11 > Jan > 01 > Sliding Rear Window - Water Leaks to Interior > Page 11803
7. Leaving the release tape in place, unpack gusset seal and refer to remaining Figures 1-3 to
understand how the seal will be applied to the window module.
8. Notice that a standard butyl sealing cord is applied to the window before the fix is applied (Figure
2).
9. Leaving the release tape on, apply a standard butyl sealing cord to the back of the window
module taking care to lay the butyl in the "track" moulded into the plastic window frame.

Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 01-1-11 > Jan > 01 > Sliding Rear Window - Water Leaks to Interior > Page 11804
10. Place window (back side up) on a clean, stable surface with the top edge of the window module
facing you. The gusset seal will be applied to the top edge (Figure 3).

11. Check (Figure 1) and find the pre-attached butyl seal that is to be applied to the back edge of
the glass. This edge of the gusset seal is thick, rather than flat. Remove the release tape from this
butyl seal only.
12. Once installed the gusset seal should extend from one stud on the sloping side of the window
module to the opposite stud on the opposite sloping side of the window module (Figures 2 and 3).
In the process, it should cover the entire top of the plastic frame behind the glass and down to just
above the row of studs across the back of the module.
13. Starting at one side of the module, apply the butyl bead (exposed in Step 12) to the crevice
between the back of the glass and the top of the module. It is important that the butyl seals to the
glass in order for the gusset seal to not leak. Additionally, try to minimize the protrusion of the seal
onto the visible side of the glass. It should be below the rounded edge of the glass.
14. Moving across the top of the module, apply the butyl bead on the edge of the gusset seal to the
back of one fixed pane, the plastic lip above the sliding pane, and then across the back edge of the
other fixed pane. Make sure that the butyl on the gusset seal seals to the two (2) small pieces of
butyl applied in Step 6.
15. Remove the release tape from the standard seal applied in Step 9. Refer to Figure 2 to see
how the gusset seal is applied to the standard butyl seal. Starting at one side, stick the back of the
gusset seal to the standard butyl seal. At this point, the gusset seal should cover the entire top of
the window module down to the row of studs.
16. Remove the release tape from the second butyl strip on the gusset seal. This will seal to the
back of the cab.
17. Reinstall the window module according to Section 501-11 of the appropriate year F-150/F-250
LD Workshop Manual.

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.

ISSUE
Some 1997-2004 Expedition, 1998-2004 Navigator built through 04/01/2004 and 1997-2003 F-150,
may exhibit a pop/thump noise at the end of window travel when either front window is rolled up.
Some 2003-2004 Navigator vehicles may also exhibit a driver's door glass bounce back and
reverse to a mid-position. The condition may exist when the vehicle is stationary or traveling at low
speeds, however the condition will become more pronounced when traveling at higher speeds.
This may be due to the window glass being too far outboard and catching on the glass run before
seating.
ACTION
To service, adjust the window's travel path inward, by bending the flange on which the glass run is
mounted. Refer to the Service Procedure below.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove inner door panel, refer to Workshop Manual Section 501-11.

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.
