Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAY (A/CCR)

NOTE: The PCM PIDs WAC and wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff fault (WACF) are used to
monitor the A/CCR output.

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

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

NOTE:
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Service and Repair > Page 129
- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

- Prior to the replacement of the module, it is necessary to upload the module configuration
information to the appropriate scan tool. This information must be downloaded into the new module
after installation.

- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the SJB/GEM.

- The steps included in the SJB/GEM removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the
vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new SJB/GEM is
delivered in a manufacturing mode with 7 pre-set DTCs related to the TPMS. To clear the DTCs,
successful configuration of the SJB/GEM must occur, followed by successful TPMS sensor
training, and a successful self-test, including clearing of the DTCs. The DTCs are as follows: -

B106D (Tire Pressure Monitor System [TPMS] Initiators Not Configured)

- B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)

- B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2871 (Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- C2780 (ECU in Manufacturer Sub-State)

1. NOTE: This step is necessary only if the SJB/GEM is being replaced.

Upload the module configuration information from the SJB/GEM.

2. Remove the floor console SJB/GEM cover. 3. Remove the transmission selector lever bezel
from the floor console finish panel. 4. Apply the parking brake. 5. Remove the parking brake lever
boot from the floor console finish panel. 6. Remove the floor console finish panel. 7. Disconnect the
7 electrical connectors. 8. Remove the 2 bolts and the SJB/GEM.

Installation

1. Install the SJB/GEM.

- Install the 2 bolts.

- Connect the 7 electrical connectors.

2. Install the floor console finish panel. 3. Install the parking brake lever boot into the floor console
finish panel. 4. Release the parking brake. 5. Install the transmission selector lever bezel into the
floor console finish panel.

6. NOTE: If the SJB/GEM was not replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.

Install the floor console SJB/GEM cover.

7. NOTE:

- When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for the SJB/GEM operation and
clears DTCs B2477 and B106D. The clearing of these DTCs indicates the calibration data has
been successfully downloaded to the new SJB/GEM.
- When successful, this step also programs the remote transmitter portion of the integrated
keyhead transmitter (IKT) keys into the new SJB. In the event the IKTs (remote transmitter portion
only) do not program to the new SJB, cycle each IKT key to the ON position for a minimum of 6
seconds. This action will program the remote transmitter portion of the IKT key into the new SJB.

Download the SJB/GEM configuration information from the scan tool.

8. NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871. The clearing
of these DTCs indicates the SJB/GEM has

recognized the tire pressure sensors during the training procedure.

Train the tire pressure sensors.

9. NOTE: DTC C2780 will not clear if any other DTCs are present in the SJB/GEM. When
successful, this step will clear the DTC C2780.

Carry out the SJB/GEM on-demand self-test by clearing DTCs, and then retrieving DTCs to confirm
all DTCs have been cleared.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation

TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)

Overview

The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.

Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).

Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.

Other benefits of ETC are: -

eliminate cruise control actuators

- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve

- better airflow range

- packaging (no cable)

- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality

The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)

The ETB has the following characteristics: -


The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).

- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.

- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.

- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.

- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.

- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor

Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.

The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)

Description

The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.

As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.

When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.

Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.

Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM

A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.

Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.

Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.

For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.
Making Changes to the VID Block

A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Making Changes to the PCM Calibration

At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair

RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM)

Removal

WARNING: -

Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety canopy and cause serious
personal injury or death.

- If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact
sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the
original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether or not the air
bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or
death in a crash.
- To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.

CAUTION: -

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

- When installing a new restraints control module (RCM), it is necessary to carry out programmable
module installation (PMI). Failure to follow these instructions may result in component damage
and/or system failure.

NOTE: -

The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraint control module (RCM) fuse is removed
and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a supplemental
restraint system (SRS) fault.

- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

- When installing a new RCM, always make sure the correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect
RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs will result.

- Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install
the original part and carry out the diagnostic procedure again.

1. If installing a new RCM, carry out the steps necessary to prepare for programmable module
installation (PMI). 2. Depower the SRS.

Installation

1. WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact
sensor (if equipped) to the specified torque.

Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of
personal injury or death in a crash.

Install the RCM and 3 bolts. -

Tighten to 11 Nm (8 lb-ft).

2. Make sure the connector position assurance lever is in the full release position before attempting
to connect the connector.

3. CAUTION: Putting the large restraints control module (RCM) electrical connector into the RCM
on an angle can cause bad electrical

connections and damage components.

Position the large RCM electrical connector into the RCM.

- CAUTION: Do not push the connector to the point where the lever pivots and seats itself. Light
pressure is needed to get the

8. Install the center console. 9. Repower the SRS. Do not prove out the SRS at this time.

10. When installing a new RCM, carry out the steps necessary to complete PMI. 11. Prove out the
SRS as follows:

Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON
and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn OFF. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: -

fail to light.

- remain lit continuously.

- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).

The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch
has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to
complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a
chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and
any SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

Clear all continuous DTCs from the RCM.

Radiator Cooling Fan Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

FAN SPEED SENSOR (FSS)

Cooling Fan Clutch With FSS

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

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

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR

Typical CHT Sensor

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

The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Description and Operation

Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows: -

to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Brake Pedal Switch (BPS)/Brake Deactivator Switch

The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.

On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

through the SIG RTN circuit. The CPP input to the PCM is used to detect a reduction in engine
load. The PCM uses the load information for mass air flow and fuel calculations.

Oil Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR

Typical EOT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:

- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Discharge Air Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

EVAPORATOR DISCHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

NOTE: A second (auxiliary) evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is used for the auxiliary
evaporator core on hybrid vehicles. For information concerning the auxiliary evaporator discharge
air temperature sensor, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor contains a thermistor. The resistance of this
thermistor varies by a specific amount based on the evaporator discharge air temperature. The
dual-zone EATC or EMTC module measures a voltage ratio between the reference voltage it
supplies to the sensor and the sensor return voltage to determine this resistance and the
associated discharge air temperature.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor maintains evaporator core temperature and
prevents icing of the evaporator core. It does this by signaling the HVAC module to switch off the
A/C request signal to the instrument cluster on 2.3L or 3.0L (4V) vehicles, or signaling the PCM to
cycle the A/C compressor off when the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor reading falls
below acceptable levels. The A/C request or A/C compressor will be switched back on when the
evaporator temperature rises above acceptable levels.

On hybrid vehicles, the A/C compressor will continue to run and the passenger zone valve will be
closed by the PCM if the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is reading a temperature
below acceptable levels, but the TBCM is requesting A/C operation for HVTB cooling. This allows
continued refrigerant flow to the auxiliary evaporator core while allowing the front (main) evaporator
core to warm to acceptable levels.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is located on the heater core and evaporator core
housing behind the glove compartment.

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE (ACET) SENSOR

A/C Evaporator Temperature (ACET) Sensor Voltage And Resistance

The ACET sensor measures the evaporator air discharge temperature. The ACET sensor is a
thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a
thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the
temperature decreases. The PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit. With SIG RTN
also connected to the ACET sensor, the varying resistance changes the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals. As A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the varying resistance of the ACET
sensor changes the voltage the PCM detects.

The ACET sensor is used to more accurately control A/C clutch cycling, improve defrost/demist
performance, and reduce A/C clutch cycling.

NOTE: These values can vary 15% due to sensor and VREF variations. Voltage values were
calculated for VREF equals 5.0 volts.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling
Switch

Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch

The A/C cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input. When the A/C
cycling switch opens, the PCM turns off the A/C clutch. For information on the specific function of
the A/C cycling switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System Air
Conditioning System Overview. Also, refer to the applicable Vehicle/Diagrams for vehicle specific
wiring.

If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate.

Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C is
requested. This information is received by the PCM through the communication link.

Air Conditioning (A/C) High Pressure Switch

The A/C high pressure switch is used for additional A/C system pressure control. The A/C high
pressure switch is either dual function for multiple speed, relay controlled electric fan applications,
or single function for all others.

For refrigerant containment control, the normally closed high pressure contacts open at a
predetermined A/C pressure. This results in the A/C turning off, preventing the A/C pressure from
rising to a level that would open the A/C high pressure relief valve.

For fan control, the normally open medium pressure contacts close at a predetermined A/C
pressure. This grounds the ACPSW circuit input to the PCM. The PCM then turns on the high
speed fan to help reduce the pressure.

For additional information, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System, Air
Conditioning System Overview or Vehicle/Diagrams.

Typical ACP Transducer Sensor

The ACP transducer sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge) side of the A/C system. The
ACP transducer sensor provides a voltage signal to the PCM that is proportional to the A/C
pressure. The PCM uses this information for A/C clutch control, fan control and idle speed control.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Dual-Function Pressure Switch

Dual-Function Pressure Switch

The dual-function pressure switch is located on the receiver drier and includes 2 separate sets of
contacts that are opened at 2 different pressures.

The first set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor
operation in the event of excessively high discharge pressure in the high-pressure side of the
refrigerant system. The PCM monitors the first set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch
in-series with the low-charge protection switch. When the contacts are open, the PCM will
disengage the A/C compressor clutch.

The second set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch is used by the PCM to engage the
high-speed cooling fan. The PCM monitors the second set of contacts through the A/C pressure
(ACP) circuit. When the A/C pressure rises above a preset level, the second set of contacts will
close and the high-speed cooling fan will be engaged.

The dual-function pressure switch is installed on a Schrader-type valve core fitting on the
receiver/drier. It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the dual-function pressure
switch.

Low-Charge Protection Switch

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch,
HVAC > Component Information > Description and Operation > Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch > Page 454
The low-charge protection switch is installed on the evaporator outlet line to cycle the A/C
compressor off in the event of a low refrigerant charge. The PCM monitors the low-charge
protection switch in-series with the dual-function pressure switch. When the low-side pressure
drops below acceptable levels, the low-charge protection switch contacts open. When the
low-charge protection switch contacts are open, the PCM will disengage the A/C compressor
clutch.

The low-charge protection switch is installed on a Schrader-type valve core fitting on the
evaporator outlet line. It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the low-charge
protection switch.

The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.

Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir

The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 545

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION (CPP) SWITCH

Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

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

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR

Typical CHT Sensor

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

The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors

Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of

fuel, spark, and air flow.


The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.

Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.

Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

595

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR

Typical EOT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:

- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.

Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.

Universal HO2S

The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.

The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.

Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.

Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

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

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor

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

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

Typical TP Sensor

The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: -

closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)

- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)

- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)

- throttle angle rate

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

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

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

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

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation

FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR

Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor

The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.

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

Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch: Description and Operation

INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF (IFS) SWITCH

Typical Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor

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

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

Typical TP Sensor

The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: -

closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)

- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)

- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)

- throttle angle rate

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

Impact Sensor: Testing and Inspection

SENSORS

WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the
impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting
areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether
or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury or death in a crash.

For this vehicle line, the supplemental restraint system (SRS) uses 5 satellite sensors in addition to
the restraints control module (RCM). The RCM is mounted to the center tunnel beneath the
console. All vehicles have one front impact severity sensor located in the front-center area of the
vehicle, behind the grille mounted on the lower radiator support. The first row impact sensors are
mounted behind the trim panel near the floor on the B-pillar, the second row sensors are located on
each C-pillar. The front and side impact sensor are not interchangeable. Mounting orientation is
critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (OCS)

CAUTION: It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when
a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system
service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.

NOTE:

- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat wiring harness, seat cushion
foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system module [OCSM]) are
calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to
be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad
are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat
wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.

- To identify between a production OCS system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM
electrical connector.

A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.

An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the module. It cannot and should
not be disconnected or altered.

The OCS system is standard equipment on all front outboard passenger seats. For information on
diagnosing or servicing the OCS system, refer to Air Bag Systems.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

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

Training

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB). For additional information, refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.

NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.

NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.

^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.

6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from

the valve stem.

Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press
and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire
pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training > Page 860

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and

release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.

8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.

Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.


The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.

For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.

9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the SJB and document them
on the applicable warranty claim.

10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns

with a newly programmed SJB.

If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and perform
the SJB on-demand self test.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: The tire pressure sensors will go into a 14 sleep mode" after 30 minutes of inactivity to
conserve battery power. The sensors do not transmit information while in sleep mode, it will be
necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 2. Position the tire pressure monitor activation tool
against the LF tire sidewall 180 degrees from the tire valve stem.

3. NOTE: The activation tool will provide feedback in the form of a flashing green light and a beep
sound for each successful response from a tire

pressure sensor.

Press the test button on the activation tool to activate the sensor, activate the sensor at least 2
times.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining tires. 5. If the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
indicator remains illuminated after adjusting and activating each sensor, refer to the Symptom
Chart

in Diagnosis and Testing. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Tire Monitoring

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Alignment: Description and Operation

Wheel Alignment Angles

Camber

Negative And Positive Camber

Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or
negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.

Caster Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the pivot points (top
of strut and lower ball joint), 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. The caster setting is not adjustable.

A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-). Front caster adjustment is not a
separate procedure on this vehicle. Front caster should fall within specification when the front
camber is adjusted.

Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)

Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)

Incorrect thrust angle (also known as dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not
square to the chassis. Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 948
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 experienced 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 experienced by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering
wheel.

Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering Poor returnability and sticky steering are used to describe the
poor return of the steering wheel to center after a turn or steering correction.

Drift/Pull Pull is a tugging sensation felt by the hands on the steering wheel that must be overcome
to keep the vehicle going straight.

Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with the hands off the steering wheel.

^ A vehicle-related drift/pull on a flat road causes a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and requires constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.

^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (wind or road crown).

Poor Groove Feel Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the
steering wheel as the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or
straight-ahead (under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Effort 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 the
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 driveability problem, it is important to understand the difference between


wander and poor groove feel.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

Spark Plug Inspection

1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.

^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.

^ Clean the spark plug.

2. Check for oil fouling.

^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.

^ Correct the oil leak concern.

^ Install a new spark plug.

3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a

spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^

Install new spark plugs.

4. Inspect for normal burning.

^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.


Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 987
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine

damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a Heli-Coil(R) insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^

Install a new spark plug.

6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with a bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine

overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^

Install a new spark plug.

7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.

^ Install new spark plugs.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection Compression Test

Compression Test - All Vehicles Except Hybrid

1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle

until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all the spark plugs.

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

the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the
approximate number of compression strokes necessary to obtain the highest reading.

5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.

If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil meeting Ford
specification on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure
check on these cylinders.

Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings

1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are worn or damaged. 2. If compression does
not improve, valves are sticking or not seating correctly. 3. If 2 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.

3. Check that the belt length indicator, if equipped, on the belt tensioner is in the acceptable belt
installation and wear range. If the indicator is in the

belt replacement range, either an incorrect belt is installed or the belt is worn beyond the service
limit. Install a new belt as necessary.

4. Eliminate all other non-belt related noises that could cause belt misdiagnosis, such as A/C
compressor engagement chirp, A/C slugging noise,

power steering cavitations at low temperatures, variable camshaft timing (VCT) tick or generator
whine.

5. If a concern is found, correct the condition before proceeding to the next step.

Drive Belt: Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any
fluids or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping
mechanism may occur.

Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.

To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.

Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on
an accessory pulley under certain conditions.

A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start-up and shut down or during very rapid
engine acceleration and decelerations, such as: ^

wide open throttle (WOT) 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back out shifts on automatic
transmissions.

^ WOT 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual transmissions.

These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias
required to meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or
reoccurring drive belt squeal can occur: ^

if the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications: -

the A/C system is overcharged.


- the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.

^ if the A/C off equalized pressure (the common discharged and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.

^ if any of the accessories or idler pulley(s) are damaged or have a worn or damaged bearing. All
accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.

^ if there is evidence of fluid contamination on the accessory drive belt. When the drive belt has
been exposed to fluid contamination during vehicle operation, such as leaks from the power
steering system, A/C system or cooling system, clean all pulleys with soap and water, rinse with
clean water and install a new accessory drive belt. If the drive belt has been exposed to fluids in a
localized area during routine vehicle service, such as replacement of hoses or fluids, the drive belt
and pulleys should be washed with soap and water immediately (prior to starting the engine), and
rinsed with clean water.

^ if the accessory drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the accessory drive
belt tensioner arm to go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will
release tension to the drive belt. If the accessory drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the normal
installation wear range window, install a new accessory drive belt.

^ NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.

Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.

Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation

CAUTION: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may
cause the drive belt to come off the pulleys.

Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt
tracks incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the drive
belt.

Incorrect Installation

Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Drive Belt > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection
and Diagnostic Overview > Page 1031

Correct Installation

Correct Installation

With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the
accessory drive belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur.
Make sure the accessory drive belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking
condition exists, proceed with the following: ^

Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage and wear, especially the mounting
pad surface and arm alignment. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the
mounting surface pad will be out of position. If the tensioner arm is worn, the arm will be out of
alignment. Either of these conditions will result in chirp and squeal noises.

^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.

^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any
interference that would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference
condition and recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.

^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware
to specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.

Belt Tensioner - Mechanical

The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for tensioner stick, grab or bind. 1.
With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under
Description and Operation.

2. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires substantial force to
release.
Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, release the tension
on the belt and detach the accessory drive belt from the tensioner. Carry out the following tests: ^

Using the release tool, move the tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke and back
to the relaxed position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that there is
tension on the tensioner spring.

^ Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized condition.

^ Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination and
repair any leaks.

3. If the accessory drive belt tensioner does not meet the criteria in the previous step, install a new
tensioner. If the accessory drive belt tensioner

meets the criteria in the previous step, proceed to testing the tensioner dynamically.

Belt Tensioner - Dynamics

The accessory drive belt tensioner can be checked dynamically as follows: 1. With the engine
running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory drive tensioner
should move (respond) when the

A/C clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is accelerated rapidly. If the accessory drive
belt tensioner movement is excessive without A/C clutch cycling or engine acceleration, check belt
rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in the belt) can cause excessive
accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by installing a new belt. If
excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new accessory drive belt
tensioner.

CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with clean, specified brake fluid. Never
reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system. Damage to the brake
system components may occur.

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
can enter the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic
system after the repair is finished or after the new component is installed. 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 clean, specified brake fluid. 2. Remove the bleeder screw cap and place a
box end wrench on the RH rear bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain hose to the RH rear bleeder
screw

and submerge the free end of the hose in a container partially filled with clean, specified brake
fluid.

3. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal at least 3 times and then hold firm pressure on the
brake pedal. 4. Loosen the RH rear bleeder screw until a stream of brake fluid comes out. While
the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the

RH rear bleeder screw. ^

Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1182

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1183
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator and Message Center Messages The TPMS
indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that cannot be
resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously

NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will result in a false low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS indicator to
illuminate.

1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:

^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.

2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be

necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.

If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Flashes

The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds, then remains ON solid when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, for the following conditions:

1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is

malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Wheels and Tires/Tire Monitoring System/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has not received

any signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Wheels and Tires/Tire Monitoring
System/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR FAULT when the tire pressure

monitoring system is malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)

Check Engine, Service Engine Soon, Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol

The MIL notifies the driver that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an on board
diagnostic (OBD) emission-related component or system concern. When this occurs, an OBD
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets.

- The MIL is located in the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or the international standards organization (ISO) standard engine symbol.

- The MIL is illuminated during the instrument cluster prove out for approximately 4 seconds.

- The MIL remains illuminated after instrument cluster prove out if: -

an emission-related concern and DTC exists.

- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).

- the PCM is operating in the hardware limited operation strategy (HLOS).

- The MIL remains off during the instrument cluster prove out if an indicator or instrument cluster
concern is present.

- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the scan tool must be sent, or 3
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a concern.

- For all MIL concerns, go to Symptom Charts. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

- If the MIL flashes at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition may exist.

- If the MIL flashes erratically, the PCM can reset while cranking if the battery voltage is low.

- The MIL flashes after a period of time with the key in the RUN position (engine not running) if
DTC P1000 is set.

JACKING AND LIFTING

WARNING:

- When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking
brake if the rear wheels will remain on the ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle
movement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

- Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally
lower. Always support vehicle with floor stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
- Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on
an uneven or soft surface may result in vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

- Vehicle may have multiple drive wheels. Do not use engine to power the driveline unless all drive
wheels are elevated off the ground. Drive wheels in contact with ground could cause unexpected
vehicle movement. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

- The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated
tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never use the jack to hoist the vehicle for any other purpose.

- Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front or rear control arms,
halfshafts or front wheel constant velocity (CV) joints. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.

- To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift
without first checking for possible interference.

- Damage to the suspension, exhaust or steering linkage components may occur if care is not
exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB). For additional information, refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.

NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.

NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.

^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.

6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from

the valve stem.

Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press
and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire
pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.

Page 1256

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and

release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.

8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.

Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.


The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.

For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.

9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the SJB and document them
on the applicable warranty claim.

10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns

with a newly programmed SJB.

If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and perform
the SJB on-demand self test.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator and Message Center Messages The TPMS
indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that cannot be
resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously

NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will result in a false low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS indicator to
illuminate.

1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:

^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.

2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be

necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.

If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Flashes

The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds, then remains ON solid when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, for the following conditions:

1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is

malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic


Procedures

2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has not received

any signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom
Related Diagnostic Procedures

3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR FAULT when the tire pressure

monitoring system is malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost.

Training

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB). For additional information, refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.

NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.

NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.

^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.

6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from

the valve stem.

Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press
and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire
pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tire Monitoring System > Tire Pressure Sensor >
Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training > Page 1274

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and

release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.

8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.

Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.


The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.

For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.

9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the SJB and document them
on the applicable warranty claim.

10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns

with a newly programmed SJB.

If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and perform
the SJB on-demand self test.

JACKING AND LIFTING

WARNING:

- When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking
brake if the rear wheels will remain on the ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle
movement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

- Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally
lower. Always support vehicle with floor stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
- Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on
an uneven or soft surface may result in vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

- Vehicle may have multiple drive wheels. Do not use engine to power the driveline unless all drive
wheels are elevated off the ground. Drive wheels in contact with ground could cause unexpected
vehicle movement. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

- The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated
tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never use the jack to hoist the vehicle for any other purpose.

- Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front or rear control arms,
halfshafts or front wheel constant velocity (CV) joints. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.

- To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift
without first checking for possible interference.

- Damage to the suspension, exhaust or steering linkage components may occur if care is not
exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation

VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM

Overview

The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.

- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.

- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.

- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.

- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.

All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.

Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System


VCT System

The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.

1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature

(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.

2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.

As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.

The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 1331
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.

5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.

One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

Compression Test - All Vehicles Except Hybrid

1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle

until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position,
then remove all the spark plugs.

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

the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the highest reading. Note the
approximate number of compression strokes necessary to obtain the highest reading.

5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.

If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil meeting Ford
specification on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure
check on these cylinders.

Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings

1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are worn or damaged. 2. If compression does
not improve, valves are sticking or not seating correctly. 3. If 2 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.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation

VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM

Overview

The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.

- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.

- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.

- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.

- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.

All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.

Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System


VCT System

The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.

1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature

(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.

2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.

As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.

The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 1393
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.

5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.

One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

3. Check that the belt length indicator, if equipped, on the belt tensioner is in the acceptable belt
installation and wear range. If the indicator is in the

belt replacement range, either an incorrect belt is installed or the belt is worn beyond the service
limit. Install a new belt as necessary.

4. Eliminate all other non-belt related noises that could cause belt misdiagnosis, such as A/C
compressor engagement chirp, A/C slugging noise,

power steering cavitations at low temperatures, variable camshaft timing (VCT) tick or generator
whine.

7. The condition of the V-ribbed drive belt should be compared against the illustration and
appropriate action taken.

1. Small scattered deposits of rubber material. This is not a concern, therefore, installation of a new
belt is not required. 2. Longer deposit areas building up to 50% of the rib height. This is not
considered a concern but it can result in excessive noise. If noise is

apparent, install a new belt.

3. Heavy deposits building up along the grooves resulting in a possible noise and belt stability
concern. If heavy deposits are apparent, install a

new belt.

Drive Belt: Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any
fluids or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping
mechanism may occur.

Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of
a damaged or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.

To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area
with a straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft
direction or at an angle to the straightedge.

Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on
an accessory pulley under certain conditions.

A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start-up and shut down or during very rapid
engine acceleration and decelerations, such as: ^

wide open throttle (WOT) 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back out shifts on automatic
transmissions.

^ WOT 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual transmissions.

These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias
required to meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or
reoccurring drive belt squeal can occur: ^

if the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications: -

the A/C system is overcharged.


- the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.

^ if the A/C off equalized pressure (the common discharged and suction pressure that occurs after
several minutes) exceeds specifications.

^ if any of the accessories or idler pulley(s) are damaged or have a worn or damaged bearing. All
accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.

^ if there is evidence of fluid contamination on the accessory drive belt. When the drive belt has
been exposed to fluid contamination during vehicle operation, such as leaks from the power
steering system, A/C system or cooling system, clean all pulleys with soap and water, rinse with
clean water and install a new accessory drive belt. If the drive belt has been exposed to fluids in a
localized area during routine vehicle service, such as replacement of hoses or fluids, the drive belt
and pulleys should be washed with soap and water immediately (prior to starting the engine), and
rinsed with clean water.

^ if the accessory drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the accessory drive
belt tensioner arm to go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will
release tension to the drive belt. If the accessory drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the normal
installation wear range window, install a new accessory drive belt.

^ NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without binding.

Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.

Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation

CAUTION: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may
cause the drive belt to come off the pulleys.

Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt
tracks incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the drive
belt.

Correct Installation

Correct Installation

With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the
accessory drive belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur.
Make sure the accessory drive belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking
condition exists, proceed with the following: ^

Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage and wear, especially the mounting
pad surface and arm alignment. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the
mounting surface pad will be out of position. If the tensioner arm is worn, the arm will be out of
alignment. Either of these conditions will result in chirp and squeal noises.

^ With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.

^ Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any
interference that would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference
condition and recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.

^ Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware
to specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.

Belt Tensioner - Mechanical

The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for tensioner stick, grab or bind. 1.
With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under
Description and Operation.

2. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires substantial force to
release.
Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, release the tension
on the belt and detach the accessory drive belt from the tensioner. Carry out the following tests: ^

Using the release tool, move the tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke and back
to the relaxed position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that there is
tension on the tensioner spring.

^ Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized condition.

^ Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination and
repair any leaks.

3. If the accessory drive belt tensioner does not meet the criteria in the previous step, install a new
tensioner. If the accessory drive belt tensioner

meets the criteria in the previous step, proceed to testing the tensioner dynamically.

Belt Tensioner - Dynamics

The accessory drive belt tensioner can be checked dynamically as follows: 1. With the engine
running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory drive tensioner
should move (respond) when the

A/C clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is accelerated rapidly. If the accessory drive
belt tensioner movement is excessive without A/C clutch cycling or engine acceleration, check belt
rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in the belt) can cause excessive
accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by installing a new belt. If
excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new accessory drive belt
tensioner.

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:

- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation

VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM

Overview

The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.

- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.

- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.

- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.

- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.

All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.

Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System


VCT System

The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.

1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature

(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.

2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.

As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.

The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))

Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 1676
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.

5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.

One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

Spark Plug Inspection

1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.

^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.

^ Clean the spark plug.

2. Check for oil fouling.

^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.

^ Correct the oil leak concern.

^ Install a new spark plug.

3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a

spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^

Install new spark plugs.

4. Inspect for normal burning.

^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.

5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine

damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a Heli-Coil(R) insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^

Install a new spark plug.

6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with a bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine

overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^

Install a new spark plug.

7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.

^ Install new spark plugs.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1752

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

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

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

Radiator Cooling Fan Motor: Description and Operation

FAN CONTROL
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, A/C
on/off status, A/C pressure) to determine engine cooling fan needs.

For variable speed electric fan(s):

Edge/MKX, Taurus/Taurus X/Sable, Fusion/Milan/MKZ, Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis, Town Car:


FCV Duty Cycle Output From PCM (Negative Duty Cycle)

The PCM controls the fan speed and operation using a duty cycle output on the fan control variable
(FCV) circuit. The fan controller (located at or integral to the engine cooling fan assembly) receives
the FCV command and operates the cooling fan at the speed requested (by varying the power
applied to the fan motor).

For relay controlled fans:

2.0L Focus (With A/C): PCM FC Output State For Cooling Fan Speeds

2.3L Escape: PCM FC Output State For Cooling Fan Speeds

The PCM controls the fan operation through the fan control (FC) (single speed fan applications),
low fan control (LFC), medium fan control (MFC), and high fan control (HFC) outputs. Some
applications will have the xFC circuit wired-to 2 separate-relays.

For 3-speed fans, although the PCM output circuits are called low, medium, and high fan control
(FC), cooling fan speed is controlled by a combination of these outputs. Refer to the table.

Radiator Cooling Fan Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

FAN SPEED SENSOR (FSS)

Cooling Fan Clutch With FSS

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

Fan Clutch: Description and Operation

COOLING FAN CLUTCH

Cooling Fan Clutch With Fan Speed Sensor (FSS)

The cooling fan clutch is an electrically actuated viscous clutch that consists of 3 main elements:

- a working chamber

- a reservoir chamber

- a cooling fan clutch actuator valve and a fan speed sensor (FSS)

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

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

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR

Typical CHT Sensor

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

The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection

HEATER CORE

1. NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and did not require the installation of a new

heater core. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must be tested by following the
plugged heater core component test before the heater core pressure test. Carry out a system
inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:

Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater hose to heater core attachments. A coolant
leak in the heater hose could follow the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in
the heater core.

2. NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specified clamps can cause leakage at the

heater hose connection and damage the heater core.

Check the integrity of the heater hose clamps.

Heater Core - Plugged

1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level. 2. Start the engine and turn on the
heater. 3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, check the heater core inlet and
outlet hoses to see if they are hot. 4. If the outlet only is not hot:

- the heater core may have an air pocket.

- the heater core may be plugged.

5. If the inlet only is not hot, the thermostat may not be working correctly.

Heater Core - Pressure Test

Use the Pressure Test Kit to carry out the pressure test.
1. NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.

Drain the coolant from the cooling system.

2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater hose,
approximately 101 mm (4 in) long on each heater core tube. 4. Fill the heater core and heater
hoses with water and install plug BT-7422-B and adapter BT-7422-A from the Pressure Test Kit.
Secure the heater

hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps.

5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter. 6. Close the
bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure into the heater core. 7.
Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of 3 minutes. 8. If the pressure drops, check the heater
hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater hoses do not leak, remove the heater
core from the

vehicle.

9. Carry out the bench test.

Heater Core - Bench Test

1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core. 3.
Connect the 101 mm (4 in) test heater hoses with plug and adapter to the core tubes. Then
connect the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter. 4. Apply 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure to the heater
core. Submerge the heater core in water. 5. If a leak is observed, install a new heater core.

Radiator Cooling Fan Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

FAN SPEED SENSOR (FSS)

Cooling Fan Clutch With FSS

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

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

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

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR

Typical CHT Sensor

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

The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation

CATALYST AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Overview

V-Engines

In-Line Engines

The catalytic converter and exhaust systems work together to control the release of harmful engine
exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of nitrogen (N),
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). However, it also contains carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrogen (H), and various unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). The major air
pollutants of CO, NOx,and HCs, and their emission into the atmosphere must be controlled.

The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, front heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, catalyst HO2S, a muffler, and an exhaust tailpipe. The
catalytic converter is typically installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. On some vehicle
applications, more than one catalyst is used between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the on board diagnostic (OBD) system strategy in the
powertrain control module (PCM). For information on the OBD catalyst monitor, refer to the
description for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness
Codes/Catalyst Efficiency Monitor

For most vehicles, only 2 HO2Ss are used in an exhaust stream. The front sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control while the ones after the
catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor catalyst efficiency. However, some partial zero
emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 HO2Ss for each engine bank. The stream 1 sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) located before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control, the stream 2
sensors (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor the light-off catalyst, and the stream 3 sensors
(HO2S13/HO2S23) located after the catalyst are used for long term fuel trim control to optimize
catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control).

Catalytic Converter

A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst also enables a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature. The
concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Specifications > Page 1864
converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated ceramic
honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust gases
come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The catalyst
initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components so they
are used up as much as possible.

Light Off Catalyst

As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly. The point at which conversion efficiency
exceeds 50% is called catalyst light off. For most catalysts this point occurs at 246°C to 302°C
(475°F to 575°F). A fast light catalyst is a 3-way catalyst (TWC) that is located as close to the
exhaust manifold as possible. Because the light off catalyst is located close to the exhaust manifold
it lights off faster and reduces emissions more quickly than the catalyst located under the body.
Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst quickly reaches the maximum conversion efficiency for that
catalyst.

Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) Conversion Efficiency

TWC Conversion Efficiency Chart

A TWC requires a stoichiometric fuel ratio, 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel (14.7:1), for high
conversion efficiency. In order to achieve these high efficiencies, the air/fuel ratio must be tightly
controlled with a narrow window of stoichiometry. Deviations outside of this window greatly
decrease the conversion efficiency. For example a rich mixture decreases the HC and CO
conversion efficiency while a lean mixture decreases the NOx conversion efficiency.

Exhaust System

Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 2 HO2S Configuration


Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Exhaust System > Catalytic Converter > Component Information
> Specifications > Page 1865

Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 3 HO2S Configuration

The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. A HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of CO, unburned HCs, and
NOx in the exhaust emissions to an acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed
from the catalytic converter past another HO2S mounted in the rear exhaust pipe and then on into
the muffler. Finally, the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust
tailpipe.

On some PZEV, there is a total of 3 HO2S in the exhaust stream. One near the exhaust manifold
(stream 1), one in the middle of the light-off catalyst (stream 2), and the third (stream 3) is mounted
after the light-off catalyst.

Underbody Catalyst

The underbody catalyst is located after the light off catalyst. The underbody catalyst may be in line
with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be common to 2 light off catalysts, forming
a Y pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the catalyst and exhaust system for a specific
vehicle, refer to Exhaust System for the exhaust system-exploded view.

Three-Way Catalytic (TWC) Converter


The TWC converter contains either platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) or palladium (Pd) and rhodium
(Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of unburned HCs and CO and the
reduction reaction of NOx. The 3-way conversion can be best accomplished by always operating
the engine air fuel/ratio at or close to stoichiometry.

Exhaust Manifold Runners

The exhaust manifold runners collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders. The number of exhaust
manifolds and exhaust manifold runners depends on the engine configuration and number of
cylinders.

Exhaust Pipes

Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

The HO2Ss provide the PCM with information related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.

Muffler

Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

Special Tool(s)

1. Clean the exhaust manifold using a suitable solvent. Use a plastic scraping tool to clean the
gasket sealing surfaces.

2. NOTE: New exhaust manifold gaskets, studs, nuts and/or bolts must be installed when an
exhaust manifold is serviced.

NOTE: Use a straightedge that is calibrated by the manufacturer to be flat within 0.005 mm (0.0002
inch) per running foot of length, such as Snap-On GA438A or equivalent. For example, if the
straightedge is 61 cm (24 inch) long, the machined edge must be flat within 0.010 mm (0.0004
inch) from end to end.

Using the precision straight edge and a feeler gauge, check the exhaust manifold sealing surface
for warpage. If the warpage is greater than 0.76 mm (0.0299 inch), install a new exhaust manifold.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation

TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)

Overview

The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.

Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).

Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.

Other benefits of ETC are: -

eliminate cruise control actuators

- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve

- better airflow range

- packaging (no cable)

- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality

The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)

The ETB has the following characteristics: -


The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).

- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.

- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.

- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.

- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.

- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor

Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.

The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)

Description

The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.

As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.

When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.

Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.

Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM

A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.

Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.

Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.

For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.

Making Changes to the VID Block


A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Making Changes to the PCM Calibration

At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 1978

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

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

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR

Typical CHT Sensor

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

The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors

Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of

fuel, spark, and air flow.


The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.

Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.

Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page
2028

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Oil Temperature Sensor For ECM: Description and Operation

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR

Typical EOT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:

- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.

Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.

Universal HO2S

The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.

The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.

Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.

Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

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

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor

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

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

Typical TP Sensor

The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: -

closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)

- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)

- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)

- throttle angle rate

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

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

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

Typical Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

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

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

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

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 2119

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation

FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR

Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor

The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.

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

Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor

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

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

Typical TP Sensor

The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: -

closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)

- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)

- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)

- throttle angle rate

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

Spark Plug Inspection

1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.

^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.

^ Clean the spark plug.

2. Check for oil fouling.

^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.

^ Correct the oil leak concern.

^ Install a new spark plug.

3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a

spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^

Install new spark plugs.

4. Inspect for normal burning.

^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.


Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Spark Plug >
Component Information > Specifications > Page 2215
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine

damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a Heli-Coil(R) insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^

Install a new spark plug.

6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with a bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine

overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^

Install a new spark plug.

7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.

^ Install new spark plugs.

Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings

1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are worn or damaged. 2. If compression does
not improve, valves are sticking or not seating correctly. 3. If 2 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.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Air Flow Meter/Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 2241

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors

Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of

fuel, spark, and air flow.


The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.

Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.

Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

Component Information > Locations > Page 2250

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Brake Signal: Description and Operation

Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows: -

to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Brake Pedal Switch (BPS)/Brake Deactivator Switch

The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.

On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

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

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL (TAC)

Typical In-line TAC Design


Typical Parallel TAC Design

The electronic TAC is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2 wires). There are 2 designs
for the TAC, parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel to the
plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing. An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a
default position. The default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop
angle. The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation

TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)

Overview

The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.

Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).

Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.

Other benefits of ETC are: -

eliminate cruise control actuators

- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve

- better airflow range

- packaging (no cable)

- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality

The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)

The ETB has the following characteristics: -


The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).

- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.

- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.

- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.

- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.

- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor

Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.

The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)

Description

The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.

As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.

When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.

Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.

Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM

A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.

Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.

Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.

For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.
Making Changes to the VID Block

A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Making Changes to the PCM Calibration

At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR

Typical CHT Sensor

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

The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation

IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE

NOTE: The IAC valve assembly is not adjustable and cannot be cleaned, also some IAC valves are
normally open and others are normally closed. Some IAC valves require engine vacuum to
operate.

The IAC valve assembly controls the engine idle speed and provides a dashpot function. The IAC
valve assembly meters intake air around the throttle plate through a bypass within the IAC valve
assembly and throttle body. The PCM determines the desired idle speed or bypass air and signals
the IAC valve assembly through a specified duty cycle. The IAC valve responds by positioning the
IAC valve to control the amount of bypassed air. The PCM monitors engine RPM and increases or
decreases the IAC duty cycle in order to achieve the desired RPM.

The PCM uses the IAC valve assembly to control:

- no touch start

- cold engine fast idle for rapid warm-up

- idle (corrects for engine load)

- stumble or stalling on deceleration (provides a dashpot function)

- over-temperature idle boost

Information Bus: Diagram Information and Instructions

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2334

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2335
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2336

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Information Bus: Description and Operation

COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Vehicle communication utilizes both International Standards Organization (ISO) 9141 and controller
area network (CAN) communications. ISO 9141 is used for diagnostic use only while CAN allows
many modules to communicate with each other on a common network. CAN in-vehicle networking
is a method for transferring data among distributed electronic modules via a serial data bus.

Without serial networking, intermodule communication requires dedicated, point to point wiring
resulting in bulky, expensive, complex, and difficult to install wiring harnesses. Applying a serial
data network reduces the number of wires, combining the signals on a single network. Information
is sent to the individual control modules that control each function.

The vehicle has 3 module communication networks:

- ISO 9141

- Medium speed (MS) CAN


- High speed (HS) CAN

All 3 networks are connected to the data link connector (DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing of
these systems easier by allowing one scan tool to be able to diagnose and control any module on
the 3 networks from one connector. The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the
steering column and the audio unit.

Network Topology (Part 2)

ISO 9141 Network Operation

The ISO 9141 communications network is a single wire network, used for diagnostic purposes only.

The ISO 9141 communications network is used for the following module: -

Parking aid module (PAM)

MS-CAN Network Operation

The MS-CAN network communicates using bussed messages. The MS-CAN has an unshielded
twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits. In addition to scan tool communication,
this network allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.

The MS-CAN is a medium speed communication network used for the following modules: -

Audio unit

- Electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) or electronic manual temperature control


(EMTC) module

- Front control interface module (FCIM)

- Front display interface module (FDIM)

- Instrument cluster

- Satellite radio receiver (SDARS)

- Smart junction box (SJB)

HS-CAN Network Operation


The HS-CAN network communicates using bussed messages. The HS-CAN network uses an
unshielded twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits. In addition to scan tool
communication, this network allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.

The HS-CAN is a high speed communication network used for the following modules: -

ABS module

- Four wheel drive (4WD) control module

- Instrument cluster

- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) module

- Power steering control (PSC) module

- PCM

- Restraints control module (RCM)

Network Termination

The CAN network uses a network termination circuit to improve communication reliability. The
network termination of the CAN bus takes place inside the termination modules by termination
resistors. Termination modules are located at either end of the bus network. As network messages
are broadcast, in the form of voltage signals, the network voltage signals are stabilized by the
termination resistors. Each termination module has a 120 ohm resistor across the positive and
negative bus connection in the termination module. With 2 termination modules on each network,
and the 120 ohm resistors located in a parallel circuit configuration, the total network impedance, or
total resistance, is 60 ohms.

Network termination improves bus message reliability by: -

stabilizing bus voltage.

- eliminating electrical interference.

Gateway Module

The instrument cluster is the gateway module, translating HS-CAN to MS-CAN and vice versa. This
information allows a message to be distributed throughout both networks. The instrument cluster is
the only module on this vehicle that has this ability.

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: -

Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.

- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.

- GO to Pinpoint Test R, to diagnose no power to the scan tool. See: Pinpoint Tests/Test R: No
Power To The Scan Tool

5. NOTE: During the network test, the scan tool will first attempt to communicate with the PCM,
after establishing communication with the PCM,

the scan tool will then attempt to communicate with all other modules on the vehicle.

Carry out the network test. -

If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs) and proceed to Step 6.

- If the network test fails, GO to Symptom Chart to identify the module not communicating. See:

Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Vehicle communication utilizes both International Standards Organization (ISO) 9141 and controller
area network (CAN) communications. ISO 9141 is used for diagnostic use only, and CAN is a
method for transferring data among distributed electronic modules via a serial data bus.

The vehicle is equipped with 3 module communication networks:

- ISO 9141

- Medium speed (MS) CAN

- High speed (HS) CAN

ISO 9141 Communications Network

The ISO 9141 communications network is a single wire network. The ISO communications network
does not permit intermodule communication and is only used for the parking aid module. When the
scan tool communicates with the parking aid module, the scan tool must request all information, the
module cannot initiate communications.

The ISO network operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 10 Kbps for bus messages and is
designed for scan tool to module diagnostic use only.
The following fault chart describes the specific ISO 9141 network failures and their resulting
symptom:

ISO 9141 Network Communication Fault Chart

MS-CAN

The MS-CAN network uses an unshielded twisted pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The
data (+) and the data (-) circuits are each regulated to approximately 2.5 volts during neutral or
rested network traffic. As bus messages are sent on the data (+) circuit, voltage is increased by
approximately 1.0 volt. Inversely, the data (-) circuit is reduced by approximately 1.0 volt when a
bus message is sent. Multiple bus messages can be sent over the CAN circuits allowing multiple
modules to communicate with each other. The MS-CAN is used for the instrument cluster, the front
control interface module (FCIM), the front display interface module (FDIM), electronic automatic
temperature control (EATC) or electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) module, the audio
unit, the satellite radio receiver and the smart junction box (SJB) communications, and is designed
for general information transfer. The MS-CAN network will not communicate while certain faults are
present, but will operate with diminished performance with other faults present. The MS-CAN bus
may remain operational when 1 of the 2 termination resistors are not present.

The MS-CAN network operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages
and is designed for general information transfer. The network will remain operational, but at a
degraded level when certain circuit faults are present.

The following fault chart describes the specific MS-CAN network failures and their resulting
symptom:

MS-CAN Network Communication Fault Chart

HS-CAN

The HS-CAN network uses an unshielded twisted pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The
data (+) and the data (-) circuits are each regulated to approximately 2.5 volts during neutral or
rested network traffic. As bus messages are sent on the data (+) circuit, voltage is increased by
approximately 1.0 volt. Inversely, the data (-) circuit is reduced by approximately 1.0 volt when a
bus message is sent. Multiple bus messages can be sent over the CAN circuits allowing multiple
modules to communicate with each other. The HS-CAN is a high speed communication network
used for the instrument cluster, the PCM, the ABS module, the occupant classification sensor
(OCS), restraint control module (RCM), the traction battery control module (TBCM), the
transmission control module (TCM), the power steering control module and the four wheel drive
(4WD) control module communications, and designed for real time information transfer and control.
The HS-CAN network will not communicate while certain faults are present, but will operate with
diminished performance with other faults present.The HS-CAN bus may remain operational when 1
of the 2 termination resistors are not present.

The HS-CAN network operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for
real time information transfer and control. The network will remain operational, but at a degraded
level when certain circuit faults are present.

The following fault chart describes the specific HS-CAN network failures and their resulting
symptom:

Inspection and Verification

INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION

This provides step-by-step module configuration procedures. Carry out the programmable module
installation (PMI) procedures when another Vehicle System directs to carry out configuration or
when DTCs from the given list are present. See: Programming and Relearning

Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Configurable modules accommodate a variety of vehicle options, eliminating the need for many
unique modules for one vehicle line. These modules must be configured when replaced as part of a
repair procedure.
Configurable modules should not be exchanged between vehicles since the settings are unique to
each vehicle. Failure to configure a new module may result in improper operation and/or any of the
following DTCs setting:

- B2477 and/or B2141 - sets when a body/chassis module is not configured or is configured
incorrectly.

- P0602, P0605 and/or P1639 - sets when the powertrain control module (PCM) vehicle
identification (VID) block is not configured.

- B2900 - sets when there is a VIN mismatch between the module with the B2900 and the PCM.
The stored VIN in either module may be incorrect.

- U0300 and/or U0301 - sets when the configuration between 2 or more modules do not match.

- U2050 and/or U2051 - sets when a valid strategy/calibration is not present.

The following are the 3 different methods of configuration:

- Programmable module installation (PMI)

- Module reprogramming ("flashing")

- Programmable parameters

Some modules do not support all 3 methods.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 2368
Definition of Terms

The following are definitions of configuration terms:

Programmable Module Installation (PMI) PMI is a scan tool process which configures settings in a
new module. Data used for the PMI process is automatically downloaded from the original module
and stored when a scan tool session is started. If this data cannot be retrieved from the module
being replaced, the scan tool may prompt for As-Built data entry or display a list of parameter
values that need to be manually selected. Some modules are reprogrammed during PMI when a
strategy/ calibration update is available.

NOTE: It is important that the scan tool identifies the vehicle and obtains configuration data prior to
removing any modules. The new module must be able to communicate with the scan tool in order
to carry out PMI. See: Programming and Relearning

To carry out PMI, refer to Programmable Module Installation. See: Programming and Relearning

Module Reprogramming Module reprogramming (also referred to as "flashing") is a scan tool


process which updates the strategy/calibration in a module. Module reprogramming is
automatically carried out during PMI when a later strategy/calibration is available.

Reprogramming a module with the same level of software will not improve module operation or
repair a hardware failure.

NOTE: -

Module reprogramming should be limited to circumstances where a published Technical Service


Bulletin (TSB) procedure recommends doing so.

- A module cannot communicate with other modules on the communication network while being
reprogrammed. Clear any network communication DTCs which may have been set in other
modules during reprogramming.

Programmable Parameters Programmable parameters are customer preference items that may be
modified by the dealer via scan tool or in some cases modified by the customer following a
procedure listed in the vehicle Owner's Literature. While many configuration options may exist for a
module, only a few of these options are programmable parameters.

Adaptive Learning and Calibration

Some modules require a separate learning procedure to be carried out if replaced as part of a
repair procedure. For adaptive learning and calibration instructions, refer to the specific module
removal and installation procedures.

Vehicle Identification (VID) Block

Some PCMs contain a memory area called a vehicle identification (VID) block. The PCM VID block
commonly stores powertrain configuration items such as VIN, tire size, axle ratio, and whether or
not the vehicle is equipped with speed control.

As-Built Data

As-Built data is a VIN specific module configuration record. During vehicle build, the configuration
from all modules is downloaded and stored in the As-Built database. As-Built data will not reflect
customer preference items that have been changed from the default state. These items will need to
be changed using programmable parameters after the module is configured.

NOTE: It is not necessary to obtain As-Built data unless directed to do so by the scan tool. This
data may be accessed from the technician service publication website.
The following chart lists module As-Built data addresses:

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)

Check Engine, Service Engine Soon, Or ISO Standard Engine Symbol

The MIL notifies the driver that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an on board
diagnostic (OBD) emission-related component or system concern. When this occurs, an OBD
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets.

- The MIL is located in the instrument cluster and is labeled CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE
SOON or the international standards organization (ISO) standard engine symbol.

- The MIL is illuminated during the instrument cluster prove out for approximately 4 seconds.

- The MIL remains illuminated after instrument cluster prove out if: -

an emission-related concern and DTC exists.

- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).

- the PCM is operating in the hardware limited operation strategy (HLOS).

- The MIL remains off during the instrument cluster prove out if an indicator or instrument cluster
concern is present.

- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the scan tool must be sent, or 3
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a concern.

- For all MIL concerns, go to Symptom Charts. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures

- If the MIL flashes at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition may exist.

- If the MIL flashes erratically, the PCM can reset while cranking if the battery voltage is low.

- The MIL flashes after a period of time with the key in the RUN position (engine not running) if
DTC P1000 is set.

Oil Temperature Sensor For ECM: Description and Operation

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR

Typical EOT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:

- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.

Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.

Universal HO2S

The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.

The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.

Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.

Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

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

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

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

Electronic Throttle Control Module: Description and Operation

TORQUE BASED ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC)

Overview

The torque based ETC is a hardware and software strategy that delivers an engine output torque
(via throttle angle) based on driver demand (pedal position). It uses an electronic throttle body, the
powertrain control module (PCM), and an accelerator pedal assembly to control the throttle
opening and engine torque.

Torque based ETC enables aggressive automatic transmission shift schedules (earlier upshifts and
later downshifts). This is possible by adjusting the throttle angle to achieve the same wheel torque
during shifts, and by calculating this desired torque, the system prevents engine lugging (low RPM
and low manifold vacuum) while still delivering the performance and torque requested by the driver.
It also enables many fuel economy/emission improvement technologies such as variable camshaft
timing (VCT) (deliver same torque during transitions).

Torque based ETC also results in less intrusive vehicle and engine speed limiting, along with
smoother traction control.

Other benefits of ETC are: -

eliminate cruise control actuators

- eliminate idle air control (IAC) valve

- better airflow range

- packaging (no cable)

- more responsive powertrain at altitude and improved shift quality

The ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster
when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB)

The ETB has the following characteristics: -


The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor controlled by the PCM (requires 2-wires).

- There are 2 designs: parallel and in-line. The parallel design has the motor under the bore parallel
to the plate shaft. The motor housing is integrated into the main housing. The in-line design has a
separate motor housing.

- An internal spring is used in both designs to return the throttle plate to a default position. The
default position is typically a throttle angle of 7 to 8 degrees from the hard stop angle.

- The closed throttle plate hard stop is used to prevent the throttle from binding in the bore
(approximately 0.75 degree). This hard stop setting is not adjustable and is set to result in less
airflow than the minimum engine airflow required at idle.

- The required idle airflow is provided by the plate angle in the throttle body assembly. This plate
angle controls idle, idle quality, and eliminates the need for an IAC valve.

- There is 1 reference voltage and 1 signal return circuit between the PCM and the ETB. The
reference voltage circuit and the signal return circuit is shared with the reference voltage circuits
and signal return circuits used by the APP sensor. There are also 2 TP signal circuits for
redundancy. The redundant TP signals are required for increased monitoring reasons. The first TP
signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal
(TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). The TP2 signal reaches a limit of
approximately 4.5 volts at approximately 45 degrees of throttle angle.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor

Depending on the application either a 2-track or 3-track APP sensor is used.

The torque based ETC strategy was developed to improve fuel economy and to accommodate
variable camshaft timing (VCT). This is possible by not coupling the throttle angle to the driver
pedal position. Uncoupling the throttle angle (produce engine torque) from the pedal position (driver
demand) allows the powertrain control strategy to optimize fuel control and transmission shift
schedules while delivering the requested wheel torque.

The ETC monitor system is distributed across 2 processors within the PCM: the main powertrain
control processor unit (CPU) and a separate monitoring processor. The primary monitoring function
is carried out by the independent plausibility check (IPC) software, which resides on the main
processor. It is responsible for determining the driver-demanded torque and comparing it to an
estimate of the actual torque delivered. If the generated torque exceeds driver demand by a
specified amount, appropriate corrective action is taken.

FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM)

Description

The EEPROM is contained in an integrated circuit internal to the powertrain control module (PCM).
The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy including calibration information specific to the vehicle,
and is capable of being programmed or flashed repeatedly.

As part of the calibration there is an area referred to as the vehicle identification (VID) block. The
VID block is programmed when installing a new PCM as described under Programming the VID
Block for a Replacement PCM. Failure to carry out this procedure may generate DTCs PI635 or
P1639. The VID block in an existing PCM can also be tailored to accommodate various hardware
or parameter changes made to the vehicle since production. Failure to carry out this procedure
properly may generate DTC P1635, Tire/Axle Ratio out of Acceptable Range. An incorrect tire/axle
ratio is one of the main causes for DTC P1639. This is described under Making Changes to the VID
Block and also under Making Changes to the PCM Calibration. The VID block contains many items
used by the strategy for a variety of functions. Some of these items include the vehicle identification
number (VIN), octane adjust, fuel octane, fuel type, vehicle speed limit, tire size, axle ratio, the
presence of speed control, and 4-wheel drive electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) versus manual
shift-on-the-fly (MSOF). Only items applicable to the vehicle hardware and supported by the VID
block is displayed on the scan tool.

When changing items in the VID block, the strategy places range limits on certain items such as
tire and axle ratio. The number of times the VID block may be reconfigured is limited. When this
limit is reached, the scan tool displays a message indicating the need to flash the PCM again to
reset the VID block.

Programming can be carried out by a local Ford dealer or any non-Ford facility. Refer to the scan
tool manufacturer's instruction manual for details.

Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM

A new PCM contains the latest strategy and calibration level for a particular vehicle. However, the
VID block is blank and needs programming. There are 2 procedures available. The first is an
automatic data transfer from the old PCM to the new PCM, and the second is manual data entry
into the new PCM.

Automatic data transfer is carried out if the old PCM is capable of communicating. This is done by
using a scan tool to retrieve data from the old PCM before removing it from the vehicle. The stored
data can then be downloaded to the new PCM after it has been installed.

Carry out manual data entry if the old module is damaged or incapable of communicating. Remove
and install a new PCM. Using a compatible scan tool, select and carry out the module/parameter
programming, referring to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual. Make certain that all
parameters are included. Failure to properly program tire size in revolutions per mile, (rev/mile
equals 63,360 divided by the tire circumference in inches), axle ratio, 4x4/4x2, and/or MSOF/ESOF
may result in DTCs P1635 and P1639. You may be instructed to contact the As-Built Data Center
for the information needed to manually update the VID block with the scan tool. Contact the center
only if the old PCM cannot be used or the data is corrupt. For Ford and Lincoln Mercury
technicians, contact your National Hotline or the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website for
As-Built data listed under the Service Publications Index. Non-Ford technicians use the
Motorcraft(R) website at www.motorcraft.com. From the Motorcraft(R) homepage, use the search
function to find the Module Programming or As-Built Data.

For Ford and Lincoln Mercury technicians, check the Programmable Module Installation link on the
PTS website for quick Programmable Module data information by vehicle.
Making Changes to the VID Block

A PCM which is programmed may require changes to be made to certain VID information to
accommodate the vehicle hardware. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Making Changes to the PCM Calibration

At certain times, the entire EEPROM needs to be completely reprogrammed. This is due to
changes made to the strategy or calibration after production, or the need to reset the VID block
because it has reached its limit. Refer to Module Reprogramming on the scan tool.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR

Typical Thread Type ECT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

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

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE (CHT) SENSOR

Typical CHT Sensor

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

The CHT sensor is installed in the cylinder head and measures the metal temperature. The CHT
sensor can provide complete engine temperature information and can be used to infer coolant
temperature. If the CHT sensor conveys an overheating condition to the PCM, the PCM initiates a
fail-safe cooling strategy based on information from the CHT sensor. A cooling system concern
such as low coolant or coolant loss could cause an overheating condition. As a result, damage to
major engine components could occur. Using both the CHT sensor and fail-safe cooling strategy,
the PCM prevents damage by allowing air cooling of the engine and limp home capability.

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

Typical Stand-Alone/Non-Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensors

Typical Integrated Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Incorporated Into A Drop-in Or Flange-type
MAF Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of

fuel, spark, and air flow.


The IAT sensor provides a quicker temperature change response time than the ECT or CHT
sensor.

Currently there are 2 design types of IAT sensors used, a stand-alone/non-integrated type and a
integrated type. Both types function the same, however the integrated type is incorporated into the
mass air flow (MAF) sensor instead of being a stand alone sensor.

Supercharged vehicles use 2 IAT sensors. Both sensors are thermistor type devices and operate
as described above. One is located before the supercharger at the air cleaner for standard
OBD/cold weather input, while a second sensor (IAT2) is located after the supercharger in the
intake manifold. The IAT2 sensor located after the supercharger provides air temperature
information to the PCM to control spark and to help determine charge air cooler (CAC) efficiency.

outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This

ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE (EOT) SENSOR

Typical EOT Sensor

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

Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a


voltage divider network so that varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in
total current flow. Voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor in a series with the sensor resistor
determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage
minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.

The EOT sensor measures the temperature of the engine oil. The sensor is typically threaded into
the engine oil lubrication system. The PCM can use the EOT sensor input to determine the
following:

- On variable camshaft timing (VCT) applications the EOT input is used to adjust the VCT control
gains and logic for camshaft timing.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input in conjunction with other PCM inputs to determine oil
degradation.

- The PCM can use EOT sensor input to initiate a soft engine shutdown. To prevent engine
damage from occurring as a result of high oil temperatures, the PCM has the ability to initiate a soft
engine shutdown. Whenever engine RPM exceeds a calibrated level for a certain period of time,
the PCM begins reducing power by disabling engine cylinders.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

The HO2S detects the presence of oxygen in the exhaust and produces a variable voltage
according to the amount of oxygen detected. A high concentration of oxygen (lean air/fuel ratio) in
the exhaust produces a voltage signal less than 0.4 volt. A low concentration of oxygen (rich
air/fuel ratio) produces a voltage signal greater than 0.6 volt. The HO2S provides feedback to the
PCM indicating air/fuel ratio in order to achieve a near stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 during
closed loop engine operation. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.0 and 1.1 volts.

Embedded with the sensing element is the HO2S heater. The heating element heats the sensor to
a temperature of 800°C (1,472°F). At approximately 300°C (572°F) the engine can enter closed
loop operation. The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM turns the heater on by
providing the ground when the correct conditions occur. The heater allows the engine to enter
closed loop operation sooner. The use of this heater requires the HO2S heater control to be duty
cycled, to prevent damage to the heater.

Universal HO2S

The universal HO2S, sometimes referred to as a wideband oxygen sensor, uses the typical HO2S
combined with a current controller in the PCM to infer an air/fuel ratio relative to the stoichiometric
air/fuel ratio. This is accomplished by balancing the amount of oxygen ions pumped in or out of a
measurement chamber within the sensor. The typical HO2S within the universal HO2S is used to
detect the oxygen content of the exhaust gas in the measurement chamber. The oxygen content
inside the measurement chamber is maintained at the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio by pumping
oxygen ions in and out of the measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner,
the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in or out to maintain a stoichiometric air/fuel ratio in the
measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air/fuel ratio. The amount of current required to
pump the oxygen ions in or out of the measurement chamber is used to measure the air/fuel ratio.
The measured air/fuel ratio is actually the output from the current controller in the PCM and not a
signal that comes directly from the sensor.

The universal HO2S also uses a self-contained reference chamber to make sure an oxygen
differential is always present. The oxygen for the reference chamber is supplied by pumping small
amounts of oxygen ions from the measurement chamber into the reference chamber. The universal
HO2S does not need access to outside air.

Part to part variance is compensated for by placing a resistor in the connector. This resistor is used
to trim the current measured by the current controller in the PCM.

Embedded with the sensing element is the universal H02S heater. The heater allows the engine to
enter closed loop operation sooner. The heating element heats the sensor to a temperature of
780°C (1,436°F). The VPWR circuit supplies voltage to the heater. The PCM controls the heater on
and off by providing the ground to maintain the sensor at the correct temperature for maximum
accuracy.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

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

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor

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

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

Typical TP Sensor

The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: -

closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)

- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)

- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)

- throttle angle rate

generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the
VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control,
transmission/transaxle shift scheduling, and torque converter clutch scheduling.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation

VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) SYSTEM

Overview

The VCT enables rotation of the camshaft(s) relative to the crankshaft rotation as a function of
engine operating conditions. There are 4 types of VCT systems.

- Exhaust phase shifting (EPS) system - the exhaust cam is the active cam being retarded.

- Intake phase shifting (IPS) system - the intake cam is the active cam being advanced.

- Dual equal phase shifting (DEPS) system - both intake and exhaust cams are phase shifted and
equally advanced or retarded.

- Dual independent phase shifting (DIPS) system - where both the intake and exhaust cams are
shifted independently.

All systems have 4 operational modes: idle, part throttle, wide open throttle (WOT), and default
mode. At idle and low engine speeds with closed throttle, the powertrain control module (PCM)
determines the phase angle based on air flow, engine oil temperature and engine coolant
temperature. At part and wide open throttle the PCM determines the phase angle based on engine
RPM, load, and throttle position. VCT systems provide reduced emissions and enhanced engine
power, fuel economy and idle quality. IPS systems also have the added benefit of improved torque.
In addition, some VCT system applications can eliminate the need for an external exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) system. The elimination of the EGR system is accomplished by controlling the
overlap time between the intake valve opening and exhaust valve closing. Currently, both the IPS
and DEPS systems are used.

Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System


VCT System

The VCT system consists of an electric hydraulic positioning control solenoid, a camshaft position
(CMP) sensor, and a trigger wheel. The CMP trigger wheel has a number of equally spaced teeth
equal to the number (n) of cylinders on a bank plus one extra tooth (n+1). Four cylinder and V8
engines use a CMP 4+1 tooth trigger wheel. V6 engines use a CMP 3+1 tooth trigger wheel. The
extra tooth placed between the equally spaced teeth represents the CMP signal for that bank. A
crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides the PCM with crankshaft positioning information in 10
degree increments.

1. The PCM receives input signals from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, engine coolant
temperature (ECT) sensor, engine oil temperature

(EOT) sensor, CMP, throttle position (TP) sensor, mass air flow (MAF) sensor, and CKP to
determine the operating conditions of the engine. At idle and low engine speeds with closed
throttle, the PCM controls the camshaft position based on ECT, EOT, IAT, and MAF. During part
and wide open throttle, the camshaft position is determined by engine RPM, load and throttle
position. The VCT system does not operate until the engine is at normal operating temperature.

2. The VCT system is enabled by the PCM when the correct conditions are met. 3. The CKP signal
is used as a reference for CMP positioning. 4. The VCT solenoid valve is an integral part of the
VCT system. The solenoid valve controls the flow of engine oil in the VCT actuator assembly.

As the PCM controls the duty cycle of the solenoid valve, oil pressure/flow advances or retards the
cam timing. Duty cycles near 0% or 100% represent rapid movement of the camshaft. Retaining a
fixed camshaft position is accomplished by dithering (oscillating) the solenoid valve duty cycle.

The PCM calculates and determines the desired camshaft position. It continually updates the VCT
solenoid duty cycle until the desired position is achieved. A difference between the desired and
actual camshaft position represents a position error in the PCM VCT control loop. The PCM
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 2683
disables the VCT and places the camshaft in a default position if a concern is detected. A related
DTC is also set when the concern is detected.

5. When the VCT solenoid is energized, engine oil is allowed to flow to the VCT actuator assembly
which advances or retards the camshaft timing.

One half of the VCT actuator is coupled to the camshaft and the other half is connected to the
timing chain. Oil chambers between the 2 halves couple the camshaft to the timing chain. When
the flow of oil is shifted from one side of the chamber to the other, the differential change in oil
pressure forces the camshaft to rotate in either an advance or retard position depending on the oil
flow.

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

SECONDARY AIR DIVERTER VALVE

Secondary AIR Diverter Valve

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

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation

CATALYST AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Overview

V-Engines

In-Line Engines

The catalytic converter and exhaust systems work together to control the release of harmful engine
exhaust emissions into the atmosphere. The engine exhaust gas consists mainly of nitrogen (N),
carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). However, it also contains carbon monoxide (CO),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrogen (H), and various unburned hydrocarbons (HCs). The major air
pollutants of CO, NOx,and HCs, and their emission into the atmosphere must be controlled.

The exhaust system generally consists of an exhaust manifold, front exhaust pipe, front heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S), rear exhaust pipe, catalyst HO2S, a muffler, and an exhaust tailpipe. The
catalytic converter is typically installed between the front and rear exhaust pipes. On some vehicle
applications, more than one catalyst is used between the front and rear exhaust pipes. Catalytic
converter efficiency is monitored by the on board diagnostic (OBD) system strategy in the
powertrain control module (PCM). For information on the OBD catalyst monitor, refer to the
description for the Catalyst Efficiency Monitor. See: Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes/Catalyst Efficiency Monitor

For most vehicles, only 2 HO2Ss are used in an exhaust stream. The front sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control while the ones after the
catalyst (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor catalyst efficiency. However, some partial zero
emission vehicles (PZEV) use 3 HO2Ss for each engine bank. The stream 1 sensors
(HO2S11/HO2S21) located before the catalyst are used for primary fuel control, the stream 2
sensors (HO2S12/HO2S22) are used to monitor the light-off catalyst, and the stream 3 sensors
(HO2S13/HO2S23) located after the catalyst are used for long term fuel trim control to optimize
catalyst efficiency (fore aft oxygen sensor control).

Catalytic Converter

A catalyst is a material that remains unchanged when it initiates and increases the speed of a
chemical reaction. A catalyst also enables a chemical reaction to occur at a lower temperature. The
concentration of exhaust gas products released to the atmosphere must be controlled. The
catalytic
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 2704
converter assists in this task. It contains a catalyst in the form of a specially treated ceramic
honeycomb structure saturated with catalytically active precious metals. As the exhaust gases
come in contact with the catalyst, they are changed into mostly harmless products. The catalyst
initiates and speeds up heat producing chemical reactions of the exhaust gas components so they
are used up as much as possible.

Light Off Catalyst

As the catalyst heats up, converter efficiency rises rapidly. The point at which conversion efficiency
exceeds 50% is called catalyst light off. For most catalysts this point occurs at 246°C to 302°C
(475°F to 575°F). A fast light catalyst is a 3-way catalyst (TWC) that is located as close to the
exhaust manifold as possible. Because the light off catalyst is located close to the exhaust manifold
it lights off faster and reduces emissions more quickly than the catalyst located under the body.
Once the catalyst lights off, the catalyst quickly reaches the maximum conversion efficiency for that
catalyst.

Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) Conversion Efficiency

TWC Conversion Efficiency Chart

A TWC requires a stoichiometric fuel ratio, 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel (14.7:1), for high
conversion efficiency. In order to achieve these high efficiencies, the air/fuel ratio must be tightly
controlled with a narrow window of stoichiometry. Deviations outside of this window greatly
decrease the conversion efficiency. For example a rich mixture decreases the HC and CO
conversion efficiency while a lean mixture decreases the NOx conversion efficiency.

Exhaust System

Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 2 HO2S Configuration


Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Catalytic Converter > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 2705

Typical Bank 1 Catalyst 3 HO2S Configuration

The purpose of the exhaust system is to convey engine emissions from the exhaust manifold to the
atmosphere. Engine exhaust emissions are directed from the engine exhaust manifold to the
catalytic converter through the front exhaust pipe. A HO2S is mounted on the front exhaust pipe
before the catalyst. The catalytic converter reduces the concentration of CO, unburned HCs, and
NOx in the exhaust emissions to an acceptable level. The reduced exhaust emissions are directed
from the catalytic converter past another HO2S mounted in the rear exhaust pipe and then on into
the muffler. Finally, the exhaust emissions are directed to the atmosphere through an exhaust
tailpipe.

On some PZEV, there is a total of 3 HO2S in the exhaust stream. One near the exhaust manifold
(stream 1), one in the middle of the light-off catalyst (stream 2), and the third (stream 3) is mounted
after the light-off catalyst.

Underbody Catalyst

The underbody catalyst is located after the light off catalyst. The underbody catalyst may be in line
with the light off catalyst, or the underbody catalyst may be common to 2 light off catalysts, forming
a Y pipe configuration. For an exact configuration of the catalyst and exhaust system for a specific
vehicle, refer to Exhaust System for the exhaust system-exploded view.

Three-Way Catalytic (TWC) Converter


The TWC converter contains either platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) or palladium (Pd) and rhodium
(Rh). The TWC converter catalyzes the oxidation reactions of unburned HCs and CO and the
reduction reaction of NOx. The 3-way conversion can be best accomplished by always operating
the engine air fuel/ratio at or close to stoichiometry.

Exhaust Manifold Runners

The exhaust manifold runners collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders. The number of exhaust
manifolds and exhaust manifold runners depends on the engine configuration and number of
cylinders.

Exhaust Pipes

Exhaust pipes are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to
increase the life of the product. The pipes serve as guides for the flow of exhaust gases from the
engine exhaust manifold through the catalytic converter and the muffler.

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)

The HO2Ss provide the PCM with information related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas.

Muffler

Mufflers are usually treated during manufacturing with an anti-corrosive coating agent to increase
the life of the product. The muffler reduces the level of noise produced by the engine, and also
reduces the noise produced by exhaust gases as they travel from the catalytic converter to the
atmosphere.

EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Data

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

EGR Valve: Description and Operation

Electric Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EEGR) Valve

EEGR Motor/Valve Assembly

Depending on the application, the EEGR valve is a water cooled or an air cooled motor/valve
assembly. The motor is commanded to move in 52 discrete steps as it acts directly on the EEGR
valve. The position of the valve determines the rate of EGR. The built-in spring works to close the
valve (against the motor opening force).

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Module (ESM)

ESM
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Exhaust Gas Recirculation > EGR Valve
> Component Information > Locations > Page 2755
The ESM is an integrated differential pressure feedback EGR system that functions in the same
manner as a conventional differential pressure feedback EGR system. The various system
components have been integrated into a single component called the ESM. The flange of the valve
portion of the ESM bolts directly to the intake manifold with a metal gasket that forms the metering
orifice. This arrangement increases system reliability, response time, and system precision. By
relocating the EGR orifice from the exhaust to the intake side of the EGR valve, the downstream
pressure signal measures manifold absolute pressure (MAP). This MAP signal is used for EGR
correction and inferred barometric pressure (BARO) at key on. The system provides the powertrain
control module (PCM) with a differential pressure feedback EGR signal, identical to a traditional
differential pressure feedback EGR system.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve

Typical EGR Valve

EGR Flowrate

The EGR valve in the differential pressure feedback EGR system is a conventional,
vacuum-actuated. The valve increases or decreases the flow of EGR. As vacuum applied to the
EGR valve diaphragm overcomes the spring force, the valve begins to open. As the vacuum signal
weakens, at 5.4 kPa (1.6 in-Hg) or less, the spring force closes the valve. The EGR valve is fully
open at about 15 kPa (4.5 in-Hg).

Since EGR flow requirement varies greatly, providing repair specifications on flow rate is
impractical. The on board diagnostic (OBD) system monitors the EGR valve function and triggers a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if the test criteria is not met. The EGR valve flow rate is not
measured directly as part of the diagnostic procedures.

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Sensor

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

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 2818

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation

FUEL INJECTORS

Typical Fuel Injector

CAUTION: Do not apply battery positive voltage (B+) directly to the fuel injector electrical connector
terminals. The solenoids may be damaged internally in a matter of seconds.

The fuel injector is a solenoid-operated valve that meters fuel flow to the engine. The fuel injector is
opened and closed a constant number of times per crankshaft revolution. The amount of fuel is
controlled by the length of time the fuel injector is held open.

The fuel injector is normally closed, and is operated by a 12-volt source from either the electronic
engine control (EEC) power relay or fuel pump relay. The ground signal is controlled by the PCM.

The injector is the deposit resistant injector (DRI) type and does not have to be cleaned. However,
it can be flow checked and, if found outside of specification, a new fuel injector should be installed.

Fuel Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation

FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR

Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor

The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.

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

Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

FUEL RAIL PULSE DAMPER

Typical Fuel Rail Pulse Damper

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

The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.

Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir

The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Information > Diagrams > Page 2924
The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.

Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir

The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR

Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor

The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.

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

Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation

IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE

NOTE: The IAC valve assembly is not adjustable and cannot be cleaned, also some IAC valves are
normally open and others are normally closed. Some IAC valves require engine vacuum to
operate.

The IAC valve assembly controls the engine idle speed and provides a dashpot function. The IAC
valve assembly meters intake air around the throttle plate through a bypass within the IAC valve
assembly and throttle body. The PCM determines the desired idle speed or bypass air and signals
the IAC valve assembly through a specified duty cycle. The IAC valve responds by positioning the
IAC valve to control the amount of bypassed air. The PCM monitors engine RPM and increases or
decreases the IAC duty cycle in order to achieve the desired RPM.

The PCM uses the IAC valve assembly to control:

- no touch start

- cold engine fast idle for rapid warm-up

- idle (corrects for engine load)

- stumble or stalling on deceleration (provides a dashpot function)

- over-temperature idle boost

INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF (IFS) SWITCH

Typical Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch

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

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR

The APP sensor is an input to the powertrain control module (PCM) and is used to determine the
amount of torque requested by the operator. Depending on the application either a 2-track or
3-track APP sensor is used.

2-Track APP Sensor

2-Track APP Sensor

There are 2 pedal position signals in the sensor. Both signals, APP1 and APP2, have a positive
slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage), but are offset and increase at different rates. The 2
pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct input even if 1 signal has a concern.
The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating where it should be, inferred from the
other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits the other input is used. There are 2
reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 2 signal circuits (a total of 6 circuits and pins)
between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The reference voltage circuits and the signal
return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit and signal return circuit used by the
electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor. The pedal position signal is converted to
pedal travel degrees (rotary angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to
counts, which is the input to the torque based strategy.

3-Track APP Sensor

Typical 3-Track APP Sensor

There are 3 pedal position signals in the sensor. Signal 1, APP1, has a negative slope (increasing
angle, decreasing voltage) and signals 2 and 3, APP2 and APP3, both have a positive slope
(increasing angle, increasing voltage). During normal operation APP1 is used as the indication of
pedal position by the strategy. The 3 pedal position signals make sure the PCM receives a correct
input even if 1 signal has a concern. The PCM determines if a signal is incorrect by calculating
where it should be, inferred from the other signals. If a concern is present with one of the circuits
the other inputs are used. The pedal position signal is converted to pedal travel degrees (rotary
angle) by the PCM. The software then converts these degrees to counts, which is the input to the
torque based strategy. There are 2 reference voltage circuits, 2 signal return circuits, and 3 signal
circuits (a total of 7 circuits and pins) between the PCM and the APP sensor assembly. The
reference voltage circuits and the signal return circuits are shared with the reference voltage circuit
and signal return circuit used by the electronic throttle body (ETB) throttle position sensor.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Sensors and Switches - Fuel
Delivery and Air Induction > Air Flow Meter/Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 2973

Typical Drop-in Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor

The MAF sensor uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the
engine. Air passing over the hot wire causes it to cool. This hot wire is maintained at 200°C (392°F)
above the ambient temperature as measured by a constant cold wire. The current required to
maintain the temperature of the hot wire is proportional to the mass air flow. The MAF sensor then
outputs an analog voltage signal to the PCM proportional to the intake air mass. The PCM
calculates the required fuel injector pulse width in order to provide the desired air/fuel ratio. This
input is also used in determining transmission electronic pressure control (EPC), shift and torque
converter clutch scheduling.

The MAF sensor is located between the air cleaner and the throttle body or inside the air cleaner
assembly. Most MAF sensors have integrated bypass technology with an integrated intake air
temperature (IAT) sensor. The hot wire electronic sensing element must be replaced as an
assembly. Replacing only the element may change the air flow calibration.

Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TEMPERATURE (FRPT) SENSOR

Typical Fuel Rail Pressure Temperature (FRPT) Sensor

The FRPT sensor measures the pressure and temperature of the fuel in the fuel rail and sends
these signals to the PCM. The sensor uses the intake manifold vacuum as a reference to
determine the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The relationship
between fuel pressure and fuel temperature is used to determine the possible presence of fuel
vapor in the fuel rail.

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

Both the pressure and temperature signals are used to control the speed of the fuel pump. The
speed of the fuel pump sustains fuel rail pressure which preserves fuel in its liquid state. The
dynamic range of the fuel injectors increase because of the higher rail pressure, which allows the
injector pulse width to decrease.

INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF (IFS) SWITCH

Typical Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) Switch

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) Throttle Position Sensor

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

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

Typical TP Sensor

The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly
proportional to the throttle plate/shaft position. The sensor housing has a 3-blade electrical
connector that may be gold plated. The gold plating increases the corrosion resistance on the
terminals and increases the connector durability. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body.
As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, 4 operating conditions are determined by the PCM
from the TP. The operating conditions are: -

closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)

- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)

- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or de-choke on crank)

- throttle angle rate

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation

Coil On Plug (COP)

Typical Coil On Plug (COP)

The COP ignition operates similar to a standard coil pack ignition except each plug has one coil per
plug. The COP has 3 different modes of operation: engine crank, engine running, and CMP failure
mode effects management (FMEM).

Coil Pack

Typical Four-Tower Coil Pack


Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Ignition Coil > Component Information > Diagrams
> Page 3064

Typical Six-Tower Coil Pack

The PCM provides a grounding switch for the coil primary circuit. When the switch is closed,
voltage is applied to the coil primary circuit. This creates a magnetic field around the primary coil.
The PCM opens the switch, causing the magnetic field to collapse, inducing the high voltage in the
secondary coil windings and firing the spark plug. The spark plugs are paired so that as one spark
plug fires on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next
time the coil is fired the order is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine
firing order.

Coil packs come in 4-tower, 6-tower horizontal and series 5 6-tower models. Two adjacent coil
towers share a common coil and are called a matched pair. For 6-tower coil pack (6 cylinder)
applications, the matched pairs are 1 and 5, 2 and 6, and 3 and 4. For 4-tower coil pack (4 cylinder)
applications, the matched pairs are 1 and 4, and 2 and 3.

When the coil is fired by the PCM, spark is delivered through the matched pair towers to their
respective spark plugs. The spark plugs are fired simultaneously and are paired so that as one fires
on the compression stroke, the other spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke. The next time the coil
is fired, the situation is reversed. The next pair of spark plugs fire according to the engine firing
order.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation

Knock Sensor (KS)

Two Types Of Knock Sensor (KS)

The KS is a tuned accelerometer on the engine which converts engine vibration to an electrical
signal. The PCM uses this signal to determine the presence of engine knock and to retard spark
timing.

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR

Typical Synchronizer Hall-Effect CMP Sensor

Typical Variable Reluctance CMP Sensor


The CMP sensor detects the position of the camshaft. The CMP sensor identifies when piston
number 1 is on its compression stroke. A signal is then sent to the PCM and used for synchronizing
the sequential firing of the fuel injectors. Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP
signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Vehicles with 2 CMP sensors are equipped with variable camshaft timing (VCT). They use the
second sensor to identify the position of the camshaft on bank 2 as an input to the PCM.

There are 2 types of CMP sensors: the 3-pin connector Hall-effect type sensor and the 2-pin
connector variable reluctance type sensor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Typical Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

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

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

Spark Plug Inspection

1. Inspect the spark plug for a bridged gap.

^ Check for deposit build-up closing the gap between the electrodes. Deposits are caused by oil or
carbon fouling.

^ Clean the spark plug.

2. Check for oil fouling.

^ Check for wet, black deposits on the insulator shell bore electrodes, caused by excessive oil
entering the combustion chamber through worn rings and pistons, excessive valve-to-guide
clearance or worn or loose bearings.

^ Correct the oil leak concern.

^ Install a new spark plug.

3. Inspect for carbon fouling. Look for black, dry, fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator tips,
exposed shell surfaces and electrodes, caused by a

spark plug with an incorrect heat range, dirty air cleaner, too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling.
^

Install new spark plugs.

4. Inspect for normal burning.

^ Check for light tan or gray deposits on the firing tip.


Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Spark Plug > Component Information >
Specifications > Page 3118
5. Inspect for pre-ignition, identified by melted electrodes and a possibly damaged insulator.
Metallic deposits on the insulator indicate engine

damage. This may be caused by incorrect ignition timing, wrong type of fuel or the unauthorized
installation of a Heli-Coil(R) insert in place of the spark plug threads. ^

Install a new spark plug.

6. Inspect for overheating, identified by white or light gray spots and with a bluish-burnt appearance
of electrodes. This is caused by engine

overheating, wrong type of fuel, loose spark plugs, spark plugs with an incorrect heat range, low
fuel pump pressure or incorrect ignition timing. ^

Install a new spark plug.

7. Inspect for fused deposits, identified by melted or spotty deposits resembling bubbles or blisters.
These are caused by sudden acceleration.

^ Install new spark plugs.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

to the internal cooler fins will occur.

CAUTION: Flush with clean transmission fluid only. Do not use solvents, mineral spirits or
water-based cleaners.

NOTE: Rubber hoses must be attached to the ends of the fluid cooler tubes, to aid in connecting
them to the cleaner.

Backflush any contaminants from the oil-to-air cooler by connecting the flushing machine pressure
line to the transmission fluid cooler outlet tube and the return line to the transmission fluid cooler
inlet tube.

After 5 minutes, stop the machine, reverse the hoses and repeat the flushing.
3. CAUTION: Do not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure when flushing the cooler. Damage to
the cooler will occur.

NOTE: Some vehicles are equipped with a cold weather bypass valve which cannot by cleaned or
flushed. A new valve should be installed as part of an overhaul or prior to the installation of a
remanufactured transaxle.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Shift Interlock: Diagram Information and Instructions

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Interlock, A/T >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3335

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3336
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

NOTE: If it is necessary to use the override procedure to move the selector lever out of the PARK
position, it is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational. Before driving
the vehicle, verify that the brake lights are working.
This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock feature that prevents the selector lever from
being moved out of PARK when the ignition is in the ON position unless the brake pedal is
depressed.

If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position when the ignition is in the ON
position and the brake pedal is depressed:

1. Apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key.

2. NOTE: Relief located at the front of the access panel.

Remove the access panel.

3. Using an suitable tool, depress the brake shift interlock override mechanism on the selector
lever, apply the brake, depress the button on the

selector lever and move the selector lever into NEUTRAL.

4. Start the vehicle. 5. To install, reverse the procedure.

CD4E - ENGINE STALLING ON ENGAGEMENT/STOPPING

FORD: 2005-2008 Escape

MERCURY: 2005-2008 Mariner

ISSUE Some 2005-2008 Escape and Mariner vehicles equipped with a CD4E automatic transaxle
and built from 8/1/2004 through 2/15/2007 may exhibit an engine stall when coming to a stop or
when engaging the transmission into drive or reverse. This condition may be intermittent and often
occurs after extended drives. There may be no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored. This may
be caused by internal wear in the torque converter which prevents it from unlocking.

ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Inspect and repair all non transaxle codes per Workshop Manual (WSM) and Powertrain
Controls/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manuals.

2. Use the Integrated Diagnostic System equipment to monitor the PIDs (Parameter Identification)
for TC_SLIPACT as the stall is occurring.

a. If the slip is greater than 20 RPM, the stalling is not transaxle related. Repair following PC/ED
procedures for engine stalling condition.

b. If TC_SLIPACT is less than 20 RPM with the transmission in park or neutral, torque converter
internal failure is the most likely cause, proceed to Step 3.

3. Remove the transaxle assembly and check the rotation of the torque converter in the bell
housing. A failed converter will be difficult to rotate.

4. Remove the torque converter, drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and refill the CD4E
transmission assembly using MERCON(R) V ATF.

5. Install a new torque converter and reinstall the transaxle assembly.

6. Back flush the transmission cooler system as described in the WSM, Section 307-01A.

Torque Converter: Description and Operation

Torque Converter The torque converter is a 4 element assembly. The torque converter contains an
impeller, a turbine, a reactor and a torque converter clutch (TCC) for increased fuel economy. It
couples the engine to the turbine shaft assembly, provides torque multiplication and absorbs
engine shock of gear shifting.

The lock-up temperature for the torque converter is based upon initial transmission fluid
temperature (TFT) at key on. If the TFT reads below 16°C (60° F), the converter will lock-up at
16°C (60°F). If the initial TFT reads 16°C (61°F), the converter will lock-up at 21°C (70°F). This
warm-up phase continues until approximately 32°C (90°F), at which temperature the converter
lock-up is available immediately.

At high temperatures, the converter lock-up is delayed to avoid conditions which might cause
shudder. Delayed converter lock-up begins at 80°C (175° F).

Impeller and Cover The impeller and cover assembly drives the impeller blades and pump
assembly. The impeller is primarily responsible for driving the turbine with hydraulic fluid by means
of centrifugal force. The cover provides a mating surface for the torque converter clutch piston plate
and dampener assembly.

Turbine The turbine is driven by centrifugal fluid force from the impeller. The turbine transmits input
torque to the drive chain and driven sprocket through the turbine shaft.

Reactor The reactor redirects fluid flow from the turbine back to the impeller so that fluid rotates in
the same direction as the impeller. This action also assists in torque multiplication.

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) The TCC provides a mechanical link or direct drive between the
engine crankshaft and turbine shaft when applied. The application of the TCC is controlled by the
PCM. Under certain conditions, the PCM sends the appropriate signal to the TCC solenoid, which
allows fluid pressure within the torque converter to force the TCC piston plate and dampener
assembly against the cover creating a mechanical link between the engine and transaxle called
torque converter lock-up.

Lock-up temperature for the torque converter is based on initial TFT with the key in the ON
position. If the TFT reads below 16°C (60°F), the torque converter will lock at 16°C (60°F). If initial
TFT is 17°C (63°F) the torque converter will lock at 21°C (70°F). This "warm-up" phase continues
until the TFT is approximately 32°C (90°F), at which temperature converter lock-up is available
immediately.

At high temperatures, torque converter lock-up is delayed to avoid conditions which might cause a
shudder. Delayed torque converter lock-up begins at 79°C (175°F).

Turbine Shaft The turbine shaft connects the torque converter stator with the forward/coast/direct
clutch cylinder. When applied, the forward/coast/direct clutch cylinder transmits input torque to the
reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly, which also acts as the drive sprocket. This allows input
torque to be transmitted from the torque converter to the drive chain and driven sprocket.

Torque Converter Diagnosis

Prior to installing a new or remanufactured torque converter, all diagnostic procedures must be
followed. This is to prevent the unnecessary installation of new or remanufactured torque
converters. Only after a complete diagnostic evaluation can the decision be made to install a new
or remanufactured torque converter.

Begin with the normal diagnostic procedures as follows: 1. Preliminary Inspection. 2. Know and
Understand the Customers Concern. 3. Verify the Concern - Carry out the Torque Converter
Operation Test. 4. Carry out Diagnostic Procedures.

^ Carry out On-Board Diagnostics. Refer to Computers and Control Systems. -

Repair all non-transmission related DTCs first.

- Repair all transmission DTCs.

Torque Converter Clutch Operation Test

This test verifies that the torque converter clutch control system and the torque converter are
operating correctly. Carry out the test as follows: 1. Carry out On-Board Diagnostic Test. Refer to
Computers and Control Systems. 2. Connect a tachometer to the engine. 3. Bring engine to normal
operating temperature by driving the vehicle at highway speeds for approximately 15 minutes in (D)
position. 4. After normal operating temperatures are reached, maintain a constant vehicle speed of
about 80 km/h (50 mph) and tap the brake pedal with the

left foot.

5. Engine rpm should increase when the brake pedal is tapped, and should decrease about 5
seconds after the brake pedal is released. If this does not

occur, see Torque Converter Operation Concerns. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. If the vehicle is
at a stop and stalls in (D) at idle, move the transaxle range selector lever to the manual 1 position,
see Torque Converter Operation Concerns. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. Repair as required. If

CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners or mineral spirits to clean or flush the torque converter
or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean automatic transmission fluid designated for the
transmission and converter being serviced.

1. If a new or remanufactured torque converter is not being installed, the following steps must be
completed. 2. With the torque converter on a bench, pour a small amount of transmission fluid from
the torque converter onto an absorbent white tissue or

through a paper filter and examine the fluid.

3. Observe the color and odor of the fluid. The fluid should be red, not brown or black. Odor may
indicate an overheating condition such as clutch

disc or band failure.

4. Examine the stain on the tissue for evidence of particles (spec of any kind). Examine the fluid
level indicator for signs of antifreeze (gum or

varnish). If particles are present in the fluid or there is evidence of engine coolant or water, a new
torque converter must be installed.

5. If there are no particles or contamination present, drain the remainder of the transmission fluid
from the torque converter. 6. Add 1.9L (2 qt) of clean automatic transmission fluid into the converter
and agitate by hand. 7. Thoroughly drain the fluid.

Transmission Cooler: Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Transmission Fluid Cooler

Material

CAUTION: Whenever a transaxle has been disassembled to install new parts or because the valve
body sticks from foreign material, the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler must be
cleaned by using a suitable cleaner. Under no circumstances should an attempt be made to clean
converters by hand agitation with solvent.

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material
or band material can be carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These
contaminants are a major cause of recurring transaxle concerns and must be removed from the
system before the transaxle is returned for repair.

Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test

NOTE: The transaxle selector lever linkage adjustment, fluid level and line pressure must be within
specification before carrying out this test. Refer to transaxle selector lever linkage adjustment
procedure. For transmission fluid level checking procedures, refer to Preliminary Inspection. For
transaxle line pressure testing, refer to Line Pressure Test. See: Transmission Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Initial
Inspection/Preliminary Inspection See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Line Pressure Test

1. Check the transmission fluid level and fill as necessary. 2. Remove the transmission fluid level
indicator from fluid filler tube and install a funnel in the fluid filler tube. 3. With the vehicle in
NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair. Inspect the
transmission fluid cooler lines for

damage. Install new transmission fluid cooler lines as needed.

4. Disconnect cooler return line (rear line) by separating the tubing from the cooler line rubber
hose. 5. Plug the cooler line to avoid transmission fluid loss. 6. Connect one end of a hose to the
cooler return line hose and route the other end of the hose up to a point where it can be inserted
into the funnel at

the fluid filler tube.

7. Start the engine and run at idle with transaxle in NEUTRAL range until the automatic
transmission fluid is warm. Temperature is important to the
flow rate measurement. ^

Option 1: Once fluid flow no longer has air bubbles in it, remove the rubber hose from the funnel
and insert it into liter container. After 15 seconds, install the hose into the funnel and measure the
amount of automatic transmission fluid in the container. The rate of flow should be approximately
0.83-1.0L (28-34 oz) in 15 seconds.

^ Option 2: Once fluid flow no longer has air bubbles in it, remove the rubber hose from the funnel
and insert it into a liter container. As soon as 1L (1.06 qt) is dispensed into the container, install the
hose into the funnel. One liter of automatic transmission fluid should flow through the cooling
system in approximately 15-17 seconds.

8. Once adequate flow is determined, shut off the engine, remove the extension hose and
reassemble the cooler line with the constant tension clamp. 9. If flow is not adequate, stop the
engine. Disconnect the hose from the cooler return line and connect it to the converter-out line. If
flow is now

liberal, carry out backflushing and cleaning procedure. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler
Backflushing and Cleaning. If flow is still not liberal, repair the pump or converter.

10. Check the transmission fluid level and adjust as required.

Transmission Fluid Cooler Tube Replacement When fluid leakage is found at the transmission fluid
cooler tubes or installation of new cooler tubes is necessary, refer to Transmission Cooler.

NOTE: Rubber hoses must be attached to the ends of the fluid cooler tubes, to aid in connecting
them to the cleaner.

Backflush any contaminants from the oil-to-air cooler by connecting the flushing machine pressure
line to the transmission fluid cooler outlet tube and the return line to the transmission fluid cooler
inlet tube.

After 5 minutes, stop the machine, reverse the hoses and repeat the flushing.
3. CAUTION: Do not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure when flushing the cooler. Damage to
the cooler will occur.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Continuously Variable Transmission/Transaxle, CVT > Shift
Interlock, CVT > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3607

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Interlock, CVT > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3608
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Axle Shaft Assembly: Description and Operation

Rear Drive Halfshafts

The rear drive halfshafts are driven by the differential side gears in the rear drive axle. The splined
inner constant velocity (CV) joint housing transfers the torque to the connecting shaft through the
flexible joint consisting of caged balls or 3 roller trunnion. This allows the connecting shaft to
change both length and angle while the joint housing remains fixed. The CV joints are lubricated
with a special high temperature grease that is contained by flexible rubber boots sealed to the joint
housing and connecting shafts by clamps. The outer CV joint receives the rotational force from the
connecting shaft and in turn, drives the rear wheel hub. ^

The inner and outer CV joints connect to a splined shaft. A circlip stopper holds the cross groove
inner race assembly (inner CV joint) together.

^ The RH and LH halfshafts are the same length.

^ An axle circlip retains the splined inner CV joint to the differential side gear.

^ A rear axle wheel hub nut secures the side shaft assembly (interconnecting shaft and outer CV
joint) to the rear hub.

^ The rear halfshafts are serviced as assemblies only.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Brake Switch - TCC: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with clean, specified brake fluid. Never
reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system. Damage to the brake
system components may occur

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
can enter the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic
system after the repair is finished or after the new component is installed. The hydraulic system
can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment.

NOTE: Bleeding the hydraulic control unit (HCU) is required only when removing or installing the
HCU, master cylinder, or opening the tubes and hoses to the HCU.

1. NOTE: Carrying out the System Bleed function drives trapped air from the HCU. Subsequent
bleeding removes the air from the brake hydraulic

system through the bleeder screws.

NOTE: Adequate battery voltage is required during the anti-lock control portion of the system
bleed.

REAR BRAKE NOISE - ROTATIONAL CHIRP - (EXCLUDES HYBRID)

FORD: 2008 Escape

MERCURY: 2008 Mariner

This article supersedes TSB 08-11-2 to update the Service procedure.

ISSUE Some 2008 Escape and Mariner (Excludes Hybrid) vehicles may exhibit a noise from the
rear brakes while coming to a stop. This condition does not affect brake performance. The noise is
typically described as a cyclic, scraping, or rotational chirp noise.

ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

To better determine if this procedure is applicable, be advised of the following characteristics:

^ The noise this procedure addresses is unlike a typical brake squeak.

^ It is often described as a groan noise or scraping noise which is cyclic and follows wheel speed.

^ Vehicles will usually exhibit the noise at speeds under 20 MPH (32 Km/h).

^ This noise will only be present when the brakes are very warm or hot such as experienced in stop
and go traffic.

Vehicles built prior to 6/15/2007 follow both procedures A and B.

Vehicles built after 6/15/2007 perform only procedure B.

NOTE

PERFORMING PROCEDURE B IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF THIS REPAIR. ADDING


LUBRICANT TO THE WHEEL CYLINDER PISTONS WILL REDUCE FRICTION BETWEEN THE
WHEEL CYLINDER PISTON AND ALUMINUM WHEEL CYLINDER WALL ELIMINATING NOISE
SOURCE.

PROCEDURE A

1. Replace the rear brake shoes. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-02.

2. Apply Motorcraft® Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound to the contact points
between the shoe and the rear backing plate. Ensure grease will not contact brake lining surface.

PROCEDURE B

1. Remove the rear brake shoe return springs brake shoes, and wheel cylinder dust boots. Using
your hands, push one piston into the wheel cylinder until the opposite side piston is exposed. Be
sure the wheel cylinder piston is extending out beyond the end of the wheel cylinder sufficient to
allow complete coverage of the piston surface and piston seal. It is possible and recommended to
have the piston cup seal slightly exposed when performing this operation (Figure 1).

2. Apply Motorcraft(R) Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound around the wheel
cylinder pistons and then repeat procedure for opposite side wheel cylinder pistons. Be sure to
pack the grease into the wheel cylinder bore to ensure grease gets back to the piston seal. (Figure
2)

3. Once both wheel cylinder pistons have been lubricated, shuttle the pistons side to side three (3)
or more times to distribute the lubricant and ensure smooth movement. (Figure 3)

REAR BRAKE NOISE - ROTATIONAL CHIRP - (EXCLUDES HYBRID)

FORD: 2008 Escape

MERCURY: 2008 Mariner

This article supersedes TSB 08-11-2 to update the Service procedure.

ISSUE Some 2008 Escape and Mariner (Excludes Hybrid) vehicles may exhibit a noise from the
rear brakes while coming to a stop. This condition does not affect brake performance. The noise is
typically described as a cyclic, scraping, or rotational chirp noise.

ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

To better determine if this procedure is applicable, be advised of the following characteristics:

^ The noise this procedure addresses is unlike a typical brake squeak.

^ It is often described as a groan noise or scraping noise which is cyclic and follows wheel speed.

^ Vehicles will usually exhibit the noise at speeds under 20 MPH (32 Km/h).

^ This noise will only be present when the brakes are very warm or hot such as experienced in stop
and go traffic.

Vehicles built prior to 6/15/2007 follow both procedures A and B.

Vehicles built after 6/15/2007 perform only procedure B.

NOTE

PERFORMING PROCEDURE B IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF THIS REPAIR. ADDING


LUBRICANT TO THE WHEEL CYLINDER PISTONS WILL REDUCE FRICTION BETWEEN THE
WHEEL CYLINDER PISTON AND ALUMINUM WHEEL CYLINDER WALL ELIMINATING NOISE
SOURCE.

PROCEDURE A

1. Replace the rear brake shoes. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-02.

2. Apply Motorcraft® Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound to the contact points
between the shoe and the rear backing plate. Ensure grease will not contact brake lining surface.

PROCEDURE B

1. Remove the rear brake shoe return springs brake shoes, and wheel cylinder dust boots. Using
your hands, push one piston into the wheel cylinder until the opposite side piston is exposed. Be
sure the wheel cylinder piston is extending out beyond the end of the wheel cylinder sufficient to
allow complete coverage of the piston surface and piston seal. It is possible and recommended to
have the piston cup seal slightly exposed when performing this operation (Figure 1).

2. Apply Motorcraft(R) Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound around the wheel
cylinder pistons and then repeat procedure for opposite side wheel cylinder pistons. Be sure to
pack the grease into the wheel cylinder bore to ensure grease gets back to the piston seal. (Figure
2)

3. Once both wheel cylinder pistons have been lubricated, shuttle the pistons side to side three (3)
or more times to distribute the lubricant and ensure smooth movement. (Figure 3)

1. Clean all dirt from and remove the brake master cylinder filler cap and fill the brake master
cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.

2. NOTE: Master cylinder pressure bleeder adapter tools are available from various manufacturers
of pressure bleeding equipment. Follow the

instructions of the equipment manufacturer when installing the adapter.

Install the bleeder adapter to the brake master cylinder reservoir and attach the bleeder tank hose
to the fitting on the adapter.

3. NOTE: Bleed the longest line first. Make sure the bleeder tank contains enough clean, specified
brake fluid to complete the bleeding operation.

Remove the bleeder screw cap and place a box end wrench on the RH rear bleeder screw. Attach
a rubber drain hose to the RH rear bleeder screw and submerge the free end of the hose in a
container partially filled with clean, specified brake fluid.

4. Open the valve on the bleeder tank. 5. Loosen the RH rear bleeder screw. Leave open until
clear, bubble-free brake fluid flows, then tighten the RH rear bleeder screw and remove the

rubber hose and install the bleeder screw cap. ^

Tighten to 16 Nm (12 lb-ft).

6. Continue bleeding the system, going in order from the LH rear bleeder screw to the RH front disc
brake caliper bleeder screw ending with the LH

front disc brake caliper bleeder screw.

from the brake fluid reservoir.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Bleeding

WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification.
Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been previously drained. Following these instructions
will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL
INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call:
1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding
operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with clean, specified brake fluid. Never
reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system. Damage to the brake
system components may occur

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
can enter the system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic
system after the repair is finished or after the new component is installed. The hydraulic system
can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment.

NOTE: Bleeding the hydraulic control unit (HCU) is required only when removing or installing the
HCU, master cylinder, or opening the tubes and hoses to the HCU.

1. NOTE: Carrying out the System Bleed function drives trapped air from the HCU. Subsequent
bleeding removes the air from the brake hydraulic

system through the bleeder screws.

NOTE: Adequate battery voltage is required during the anti-lock control portion of the system
bleed.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection Brake Master Cylinder - Compensator Port

Brake Master Cylinder - Compensator Port

The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to: ^

supply additional brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir needed by the brake system
due to brake lining wear.

^ allow brake fluid to return to the brake master cylinder reservoir when the brakes are released.
The returning brake fluid creates a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. This is a
normal condition and indicates that the compensator ports are not clogged.

Clogged compensator ports may cause the brakes to hang up or not fully release. If clogged
compensator ports are suspected, proceed as follows: 1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it
on a hoist. 2. With the brakes released, attempt to rotate each wheel and check for any brake drag.

^ If an excessive amount of brake drag exists at all 4 wheels, continue with the test.

^ If an excessive amount of brake drag exists at only 1 wheel, it indicates a possible seized brake
caliper, brake wheel cylinder or parking brake component. Repair or install new components as
necessary.

3. Check the brake stoplamp switch, speed control deactivator switch and the brake pedal free play
to verify that the brake pedal is not partially

applied.

4. NOTE: If the booster vacuum is not depleted, the seal between the booster and the master
cylinder can be drawn into the booster when the 2

components are separated.

Press the brake pedal several times to deplete the vacuum in the booster.

5. Loosen the brake master cylinder nuts and position the brake master cylinder away from the
brake booster. 6. With the brakes released, attempt to rotate each wheel and check for any brake
drag.

^ If the brake drag is no longer present, install a new brake booster.

^ If the brake drag is still present, install a new master cylinder.

REAR BRAKE NOISE - ROTATIONAL CHIRP - (EXCLUDES HYBRID)

FORD: 2008 Escape

MERCURY: 2008 Mariner

This article supersedes TSB 08-11-2 to update the Service procedure.

ISSUE Some 2008 Escape and Mariner (Excludes Hybrid) vehicles may exhibit a noise from the
rear brakes while coming to a stop. This condition does not affect brake performance. The noise is
typically described as a cyclic, scraping, or rotational chirp noise.

ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

To better determine if this procedure is applicable, be advised of the following characteristics:

^ The noise this procedure addresses is unlike a typical brake squeak.

^ It is often described as a groan noise or scraping noise which is cyclic and follows wheel speed.

^ Vehicles will usually exhibit the noise at speeds under 20 MPH (32 Km/h).

^ This noise will only be present when the brakes are very warm or hot such as experienced in stop
and go traffic.

Vehicles built prior to 6/15/2007 follow both procedures A and B.

Vehicles built after 6/15/2007 perform only procedure B.

NOTE

PERFORMING PROCEDURE B IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF THIS REPAIR. ADDING


LUBRICANT TO THE WHEEL CYLINDER PISTONS WILL REDUCE FRICTION BETWEEN THE
WHEEL CYLINDER PISTON AND ALUMINUM WHEEL CYLINDER WALL ELIMINATING NOISE
SOURCE.

PROCEDURE A

1. Replace the rear brake shoes. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-02.

2. Apply Motorcraft® Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound to the contact points
between the shoe and the rear backing plate. Ensure grease will not contact brake lining surface.

REAR BRAKE NOISE - ROTATIONAL CHIRP - (EXCLUDES HYBRID)

FORD: 2008 Escape

MERCURY: 2008 Mariner

This article supersedes TSB 08-11-2 to update the Service procedure.

ISSUE Some 2008 Escape and Mariner (Excludes Hybrid) vehicles may exhibit a noise from the
rear brakes while coming to a stop. This condition does not affect brake performance. The noise is
typically described as a cyclic, scraping, or rotational chirp noise.

ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

To better determine if this procedure is applicable, be advised of the following characteristics:

^ The noise this procedure addresses is unlike a typical brake squeak.

^ It is often described as a groan noise or scraping noise which is cyclic and follows wheel speed.

^ Vehicles will usually exhibit the noise at speeds under 20 MPH (32 Km/h).

^ This noise will only be present when the brakes are very warm or hot such as experienced in stop
and go traffic.

Vehicles built prior to 6/15/2007 follow both procedures A and B.

Vehicles built after 6/15/2007 perform only procedure B.

NOTE

PERFORMING PROCEDURE B IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF THIS REPAIR. ADDING


LUBRICANT TO THE WHEEL CYLINDER PISTONS WILL REDUCE FRICTION BETWEEN THE
WHEEL CYLINDER PISTON AND ALUMINUM WHEEL CYLINDER WALL ELIMINATING NOISE
SOURCE.

PROCEDURE A

1. Replace the rear brake shoes. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-02.

2. Apply Motorcraft® Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound to the contact points
between the shoe and the rear backing plate. Ensure grease will not contact brake lining surface.

1. Remove the rear brake shoe return springs brake shoes, and wheel cylinder dust boots. Using
your hands, push one piston into the wheel cylinder until the opposite side piston is exposed. Be
sure the wheel cylinder piston is extending out beyond the end of the wheel cylinder sufficient to
allow complete coverage of the piston surface and piston seal. It is possible and recommended to
have the piston cup seal slightly exposed when performing this operation (Figure 1).

2. Apply Motorcraft(R) Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound around the wheel
cylinder pistons and then repeat procedure for opposite side wheel cylinder pistons. Be sure to
pack the grease into the wheel cylinder bore to ensure grease gets back to the piston seal. (Figure
2)

3. Once both wheel cylinder pistons have been lubricated, shuttle the pistons side to side three (3)
or more times to distribute the lubricant and ensure smooth movement. (Figure 3)

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation

Brake Booster

The power brake actuation system consists of the following components: ^

Brake booster assembly

^ Brake booster vacuum fitting

Pedal pressure is amplified by the brake booster. The brake booster uses engine vacuum from the
intake manifold. The low pressure in the intake manifold is applied to a rubber diaphragm on the
vacuum side of the brake booster chamber, which then pulls the piston rod in when the brakes are
applied to supply a power assist. The piston rod is connected to the brake pedal.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection

Brake Booster

1. Disconnect the check valve from the brake booster. 2. Apply the parking brake, start the engine
and place the transmission in NEUTRAL. 3. Verify that manifold vacuum is available at the check
valve with the engine at idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL.

^ If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, connect the check valve and continue with Step
5.

^ If manifold vacuum is not available, continue with Step 4.

4. Disconnect the check valve from the vacuum hose and verify that manifold vacuum is available
at the hose with the engine at idle speed and the

transmission in NEUTRAL. ^

If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, install a new check valve and continue with Step
5.

^ If manifold vacuum is not available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the check valve
and refer to Engine System to diagnose the no vacuum condition.

5. Apply the brake pedal several times to exhaust all vacuum from the system. 6. Apply the brake
pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine and verify that the brake pedal moves
downward after the engine starts.

^ If the brake pedal moves, the brake booster is operating correctly

^ If the brake pedal does not move, install a new brake booster.

7. Operate the engine a minimum of 10 seconds at fast idle. Stop the engine, and let the vehicle
stand for 10 minutes. Then apply the brake pedal with

approximately 89 N (20 lb) of force. The brake pedal feel should be the same as that noted with the
engine operating. If the brake pedal feels hard (no power assist), install a new brake booster check
valve and retest. If the brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to remove air. Refer to
Brake System Bleeding.

4. CAUTION: Do not service the brake pedal or brake booster without first removing the stoplamp
switch and speed control deactivator

switch. These switches must be removed with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Switch
plungers must be compressed for the switch to rotate in the bracket. Attempting to remove the
switch when the plunger is extended (during pedal apply) will result in damage to the switch.

Remove the stoplamp switch.

5. If equipped, remove the speed control deactivator switch.

6. NOTE: The booster push rod clevis-locking pin is a one-time use only part. Anytime the booster
push rod clevis-locking pin is removed, a new

booster push rod clevis-locking pin should be used.

NOTE: Remove the clevis-locking pin by squeezing the locking tabs and pulling outward on the
opposite end.

Remove and discard the booster push rod clevis-locking pin.

7. Remove the 4 nuts and the brake booster.

^ To install, tighten to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft).

8. CAUTION: Do not press, pull or otherwise move the brake pedal while installing the stoplamp
switch or the speed control deactivator

switch. These switches must be installed with the booster push rod attached to the brake pedal and
with the brake pedal in the at-rest position. Installing these switches with the brake pedal in any
other position will result in incorrect adjustment and may damage the switches.

Vacuum Brake Booster Check Valve: Testing and Inspection

Brake Booster Check Valve

The function of the brake booster check valve is to allow manifold vacuum to enter the brake
booster and prevent the escape of vacuum in case manifold vacuum is lost during sustained full
throttle operation. 1. Disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the check valve. 2. Apply the
parking brake, start the engine and place the transmission in NEUTRAL. 3. Verify that manifold
vacuum is available at the check valve end of the vacuum hose with the engine at idle speed and
the transmission in

NEUTRAL. ^

If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the check valve and
continue this test.

^ If manifold vacuum is not available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the check valve
and refer to Engine System to diagnose the no vacuum condition.

4. Connect the vacuum hose to the check valve and run the engine for at least 10 seconds. 5.
Operate the brake pedal to check for power assist.

^ If power assist is present, continue with this test.

^ If power assist is not present, refer to Brake Booster Component Test.

6. NOTE: Do not remove the brake booster check valve from the brake booster in this step.

Stop the engine and disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the brake booster check valve.

7. Apply the brake and verify that there is enough vacuum retained in the brake booster for at least
one power-assisted brake application.

^ If there is enough vacuum for at least one power-assisted brake application, the check valve is
functioning correctly.

^ If there is not enough vacuum for at least one power-assisted brake application, continue with this
test.

8. Inspect the brake booster for any signs of damage that could cause a leak.

^ If any damage is found, install a new brake booster and repeat this test.

^ If no damage is found, install a new check valve.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

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

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Removal

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

NOTE:
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Power Distribution Module >
Component Information > Service and Repair > Page 4538
- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

- Prior to the replacement of the module, it is necessary to upload the module configuration
information to the appropriate scan tool. This information must be downloaded into the new module
after installation.

- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the SJB/GEM.

- The steps included in the SJB/GEM removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the
vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new SJB/GEM is
delivered in a manufacturing mode with 7 pre-set DTCs related to the TPMS. To clear the DTCs,
successful configuration of the SJB/GEM must occur, followed by successful TPMS sensor
training, and a successful self-test, including clearing of the DTCs. The DTCs are as follows: -

B106D (Tire Pressure Monitor System [TPMS] Initiators Not Configured)

- B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)

- B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2871 (Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- C2780 (ECU in Manufacturer Sub-State)

1. NOTE: This step is necessary only if the SJB/GEM is being replaced.

Upload the module configuration information from the SJB/GEM.

2. Remove the floor console SJB/GEM cover. 3. Remove the transmission selector lever bezel
from the floor console finish panel. 4. Apply the parking brake. 5. Remove the parking brake lever
boot from the floor console finish panel. 6. Remove the floor console finish panel. 7. Disconnect the
7 electrical connectors. 8. Remove the 2 bolts and the SJB/GEM.

Installation

1. Install the SJB/GEM.

- Install the 2 bolts.

- Connect the 7 electrical connectors.

2. Install the floor console finish panel. 3. Install the parking brake lever boot into the floor console
finish panel. 4. Release the parking brake. 5. Install the transmission selector lever bezel into the
floor console finish panel.

6. NOTE: If the SJB/GEM was not replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.

Install the floor console SJB/GEM cover.

7. NOTE:

- When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for the SJB/GEM operation and
clears DTCs B2477 and B106D. The clearing of these DTCs indicates the calibration data has
been successfully downloaded to the new SJB/GEM.
- When successful, this step also programs the remote transmitter portion of the integrated
keyhead transmitter (IKT) keys into the new SJB. In the event the IKTs (remote transmitter portion
only) do not program to the new SJB, cycle each IKT key to the ON position for a minimum of 6
seconds. This action will program the remote transmitter portion of the IKT key into the new SJB.

Download the SJB/GEM configuration information from the scan tool.

8. NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871. The clearing
of these DTCs indicates the SJB/GEM has

recognized the tire pressure sensors during the training procedure.

Train the tire pressure sensors.

9. NOTE: DTC C2780 will not clear if any other DTCs are present in the SJB/GEM. When
successful, this step will clear the DTC C2780.

Carry out the SJB/GEM on-demand self-test by clearing DTCs, and then retrieving DTCs to confirm
all DTCs have been cleared.

- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

- Prior to the replacement of the module, it is necessary to upload the module configuration
information to the appropriate scan tool. This information must be downloaded into the new module
after installation.

- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the SJB/GEM.

- The steps included in the SJB/GEM removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the
vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new SJB/GEM is
delivered in a manufacturing mode with 7 pre-set DTCs related to the TPMS. To clear the DTCs,
successful configuration of the SJB/GEM must occur, followed by successful TPMS sensor
training, and a successful self-test, including clearing of the DTCs. The DTCs are as follows: -

B106D (Tire Pressure Monitor System [TPMS] Initiators Not Configured)

- B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)

- B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2871 (Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- C2780 (ECU in Manufacturer Sub-State)

1. NOTE: This step is necessary only if the SJB/GEM is being replaced.

Upload the module configuration information from the SJB/GEM.

2. Remove the floor console SJB/GEM cover. 3. Remove the transmission selector lever bezel
from the floor console finish panel. 4. Apply the parking brake. 5. Remove the parking brake lever
boot from the floor console finish panel. 6. Remove the floor console finish panel. 7. Disconnect the
7 electrical connectors. 8. Remove the 2 bolts and the SJB/GEM.

Installation

1. Install the SJB/GEM.

- Install the 2 bolts.

- Connect the 7 electrical connectors.

2. Install the floor console finish panel. 3. Install the parking brake lever boot into the floor console
finish panel. 4. Release the parking brake. 5. Install the transmission selector lever bezel into the
floor console finish panel.

6. NOTE: If the SJB/GEM was not replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.

Install the floor console SJB/GEM cover.

7. NOTE:

- When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for the SJB/GEM operation and
clears DTCs B2477 and B106D. The clearing of these DTCs indicates the calibration data has
been successfully downloaded to the new SJB/GEM.
- When successful, this step also programs the remote transmitter portion of the integrated
keyhead transmitter (IKT) keys into the new SJB. In the event the IKTs (remote transmitter portion
only) do not program to the new SJB, cycle each IKT key to the ON position for a minimum of 6
seconds. This action will program the remote transmitter portion of the IKT key into the new SJB.

Download the SJB/GEM configuration information from the scan tool.

8. NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871. The clearing
of these DTCs indicates the SJB/GEM has

recognized the tire pressure sensors during the training procedure.

Train the tire pressure sensors.

9. NOTE: DTC C2780 will not clear if any other DTCs are present in the SJB/GEM. When
successful, this step will clear the DTC C2780.

Carry out the SJB/GEM on-demand self-test by clearing DTCs, and then retrieving DTCs to confirm
all DTCs have been cleared.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4628

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4629
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4630

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Removal

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

NOTE:
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Power Distribution Module > Component Information > Service
and Repair > Page 4703
- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

- Prior to the replacement of the module, it is necessary to upload the module configuration
information to the appropriate scan tool. This information must be downloaded into the new module
after installation.

- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) functionality is integral to the SJB/GEM.

- The steps included in the SJB/GEM removal and installation procedure are critical to restoring the
vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems to normal operation. A new SJB/GEM is
delivered in a manufacturing mode with 7 pre-set DTCs related to the TPMS. To clear the DTCs,
successful configuration of the SJB/GEM must occur, followed by successful TPMS sensor
training, and a successful self-test, including clearing of the DTCs. The DTCs are as follows: -

B106D (Tire Pressure Monitor System [TPMS] Initiators Not Configured)

- B2477 (Module Configuration Failure)

- B2868 (Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2869 (Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2870 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- B2871 (Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault)

- C2780 (ECU in Manufacturer Sub-State)

1. NOTE: This step is necessary only if the SJB/GEM is being replaced.

Upload the module configuration information from the SJB/GEM.

2. Remove the floor console SJB/GEM cover. 3. Remove the transmission selector lever bezel
from the floor console finish panel. 4. Apply the parking brake. 5. Remove the parking brake lever
boot from the floor console finish panel. 6. Remove the floor console finish panel. 7. Disconnect the
7 electrical connectors. 8. Remove the 2 bolts and the SJB/GEM.

Installation

1. Install the SJB/GEM.

- Install the 2 bolts.

- Connect the 7 electrical connectors.

2. Install the floor console finish panel. 3. Install the parking brake lever boot into the floor console
finish panel. 4. Release the parking brake. 5. Install the transmission selector lever bezel into the
floor console finish panel.

6. NOTE: If the SJB/GEM was not replaced, this is the last step that is necessary.

Install the floor console SJB/GEM cover.

7. NOTE:

- When successful, this step provides the calibration necessary for the SJB/GEM operation and
clears DTCs B2477 and B106D. The clearing of these DTCs indicates the calibration data has
been successfully downloaded to the new SJB/GEM.
- When successful, this step also programs the remote transmitter portion of the integrated
keyhead transmitter (IKT) keys into the new SJB. In the event the IKTs (remote transmitter portion
only) do not program to the new SJB, cycle each IKT key to the ON position for a minimum of 6
seconds. This action will program the remote transmitter portion of the IKT key into the new SJB.

Download the SJB/GEM configuration information from the scan tool.

8. NOTE: When successful, this step clears DTCs B2868, B2869, B2870 and B2871. The clearing
of these DTCs indicates the SJB/GEM has

recognized the tire pressure sensors during the training procedure.

Train the tire pressure sensors.

9. NOTE: DTC C2780 will not clear if any other DTCs are present in the SJB/GEM. When
successful, this step will clear the DTC C2780.

Carry out the SJB/GEM on-demand self-test by clearing DTCs, and then retrieving DTCs to confirm
all DTCs have been cleared.

Wheel Alignment Angles

Camber

Negative And Positive Camber

Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or
negative and has a direct effect on tire wear.

Caster Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the pivot points (top
of strut and lower ball joint), 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. The caster setting is not adjustable.

A backward tilt is positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-). Front caster adjustment is not a
separate procedure on this vehicle. Front caster should fall within specification when the front
camber is adjusted.

Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)

Incorrect Thrust Angle (Dogtracking)

Incorrect thrust angle (also known as dogtracking) is the condition in which the rear axle is not
square to the chassis. Heavily crowned roads can give the illusion of dogtracking.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 4770
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 experienced 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 experienced by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the steering
wheel.

Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering Poor returnability and sticky steering are used to describe the
poor return of the steering wheel to center after a turn or steering correction.

Drift/Pull Pull is a tugging sensation felt by the hands on the steering wheel that must be overcome
to keep the vehicle going straight.

Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with the hands off the steering wheel.

^ A vehicle-related drift/pull on a flat road causes a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and requires constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.

^ Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (wind or road crown).

Poor Groove Feel Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the
steering wheel as the wheel is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or
straight-ahead (under 20 degrees of steering wheel turn). Effort 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 the
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 driveability problem, it is important to understand the difference between


wander and poor groove feel.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

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

Training

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB). For additional information, refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.

NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.

NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.

^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.

6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from

the valve stem.

Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press
and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire
pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training > Page 4800

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and

release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.

8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.

Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.


The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.

For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.

9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the SJB and document them
on the applicable warranty claim.

10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns

with a newly programmed SJB.

If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and perform
the SJB on-demand self test.

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: The tire pressure sensors will go into a 14 sleep mode" after 30 minutes of inactivity to
conserve battery power. The sensors do not transmit information while in sleep mode, it will be
necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 2. Position the tire pressure monitor activation tool
against the LF tire sidewall 180 degrees from the tire valve stem.

3. NOTE: The activation tool will provide feedback in the form of a flashing green light and a beep
sound for each successful response from a tire

pressure sensor.

Press the test button on the activation tool to activate the sensor, activate the sensor at least 2
times.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the remaining tires. 5. If the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Sensor

The PSP sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure within the power steering system. The PSP
sensor voltage input to the PCM changes as the hydraulic pressure changes. The PCM uses the
input signal from the PSP sensor to compensate for additional loads on the engine by adjusting the
idle RPM and preventing engine stall during parking maneuvers. Also, the PSP sensor signals the
PCM to adjust the transmission electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure during increased
engine load, for example, during parking maneuvers.

Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

Typical Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch

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

Ball Joint: Testing and Inspection

Ball Joint Inspection

1. Prior to inspecting the ball joints for wear, inspect the wheel bearings. Install a new wheel
bearing as necessary.

2. NOTE: In order to obtain accurate measurements, the suspension must be in full rebound with
the weight of the vehicle supported by the frame.

Raise and support the vehicle by the frame to allow the wheels to hang in the rebound position.

3. Inspect the ball joint and ball joint boot for damage.

^ If the ball joint or ball joint boot is damaged, install a new ball joint as necessary.

4. CAUTION: Do not use any tools or equipment to move the wheel and tire assembly or
suspension components while checking for relative

movement. Suspension damage may occur. The use of tools or equipment will also create relative
movement that may not exist when using hand force. Relative movement must be measured using
hand force only.

Inspect the ball joint for relative movement by alternately pulling downward and pushing upward on
the lower control arm by hand. Note any relative vertical movement between the wheel knuckle and
lower arm at the lower ball joint. ^
If relative movement is not felt or seen, the ball joint is OK. Do not install a new ball joint.

^ If relative movement is found, continue with Step 5.

5. NOTE: In order to obtain an accurate measurement, the dial indicator should be aligned as close
as possible with the vertical axis (center line) of

the ball joint.

To measure ball joint deflection, attach a suitable dial indicator with a flexible arm between the
lower control arm and the wheel knuckle or ball joint stud.

6. Measure the ball joint deflection while an assistant pushes up and pulls down on the lower
control arm, by hand.

^ If the deflection exceeds the specification, a new ball joint must be installed.

^ If the deflection meets the specification, no further action is required.

LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING INSPECTION PROCEDURE

FORD: 2001-2009 Escape 2005-2009 Escape Hybrid

MERCURY: 2005-2009 Mariner 2006-2009 Mariner Hybrid

ISSUE Many states and Canadian provinces require annual safety inspections which include the
evaluation of suspension components. The information in this procedure is intended to assist the
technician performing the inspection with specific criteria for 2001-2009 Escape and Mariner lower
control arm (LCA) bushings and will prevent the unnecessary replacement of good components.

ACTION Inspect according to the procedure below.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

The LCA bushing is located at the rear of the front suspension lower control arm. The bushing is
identified as number 1 of Figure 1. The control arm is mounted in the front subframe with bolts
number 2 and number 3. The bushing is part of the LCA and cannot be serviced separately from
the arm.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Control Arm > Control Arm Bushing > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Steering/Suspension - Control Arm Bushing Inspection > Page 4995
Figure 2 - Shows a new bushing prior to assembly into the control arm. Bolt number 2 passes
through the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve is pressed into the control arm. The rubber bushing
is bonded to both the inner and outer sleeves.

Figure 3 - Illustrates a generic bushing showing minor sur[ace cracks that do not adversely affect
the performance of the bushing. Bushings exhibiting sur[ace cracks with a depth less than 3/8" (10
mm) are acceptable and will continue to function normally. These do not require replacement.

Figure 4 - Illustrates a partial separation between the rubber and the outer sleeve. The bushing
may show signs of movement on the rubber surface, making the surface shiny. Bushings with a
separation or crack depth less than or equal to 3/8" (10 mm) are acceptable and meet all functional
requirements. These do not require replacement.

Bushings with a separation or crack greater than 3/8" (10 mm) in depth should be replaced. The
customer may hear a bang or clunk in the front suspension if there is enough separation for the
arm to contact the subframe. This does not affect the retention of the control arm to the vehicle as
the bushing is sandwiched in the subframe and held in place with the bolt. The vehicle can be
safely operated in this condition until the bushing is replaced.

REAR BRAKE NOISE - ROTATIONAL CHIRP - (EXCLUDES HYBRID)

FORD: 2008 Escape

MERCURY: 2008 Mariner

This article supersedes TSB 08-11-2 to update the Service procedure.

ISSUE Some 2008 Escape and Mariner (Excludes Hybrid) vehicles may exhibit a noise from the
rear brakes while coming to a stop. This condition does not affect brake performance. The noise is
typically described as a cyclic, scraping, or rotational chirp noise.

ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

To better determine if this procedure is applicable, be advised of the following characteristics:

^ The noise this procedure addresses is unlike a typical brake squeak.

^ It is often described as a groan noise or scraping noise which is cyclic and follows wheel speed.

^ Vehicles will usually exhibit the noise at speeds under 20 MPH (32 Km/h).

^ This noise will only be present when the brakes are very warm or hot such as experienced in stop
and go traffic.

Vehicles built prior to 6/15/2007 follow both procedures A and B.

Vehicles built after 6/15/2007 perform only procedure B.

NOTE

PERFORMING PROCEDURE B IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF THIS REPAIR. ADDING


LUBRICANT TO THE WHEEL CYLINDER PISTONS WILL REDUCE FRICTION BETWEEN THE
WHEEL CYLINDER PISTON AND ALUMINUM WHEEL CYLINDER WALL ELIMINATING NOISE
SOURCE.

PROCEDURE A

1. Replace the rear brake shoes. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-02.

2. Apply Motorcraft® Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound to the contact points
between the shoe and the rear backing plate. Ensure grease will not contact brake lining surface.

PROCEDURE B

1. Remove the rear brake shoe return springs brake shoes, and wheel cylinder dust boots. Using
your hands, push one piston into the wheel cylinder until the opposite side piston is exposed. Be
sure the wheel cylinder piston is extending out beyond the end of the wheel cylinder sufficient to
allow complete coverage of the piston surface and piston seal. It is possible and recommended to
have the piston cup seal slightly exposed when performing this operation (Figure 1).

2. Apply Motorcraft(R) Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound around the wheel
cylinder pistons and then repeat procedure for opposite side wheel cylinder pistons. Be sure to
pack the grease into the wheel cylinder bore to ensure grease gets back to the piston seal. (Figure
2)

3. Once both wheel cylinder pistons have been lubricated, shuttle the pistons side to side three (3)
or more times to distribute the lubricant and ensure smooth movement. (Figure 3)

Vehicle Lifting: Description and Operation

JACKING AND LIFTING

WARNING:

- When jacking or lifting the vehicle, block all wheels remaining on the ground. Set the parking
brake if the rear wheels will remain on the ground. These actions help prevent unintended vehicle
movement. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

- Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. The jack could unintentionally
lower. Always support vehicle with floor stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
- Only raise the vehicle when positioned on a hard, level surface. Attempting to raise the vehicle on
an uneven or soft surface may result in vehicle slipping or falling from the jack or jackstand. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

- Vehicle may have multiple drive wheels. Do not use engine to power the driveline unless all drive
wheels are elevated off the ground. Drive wheels in contact with ground could cause unexpected
vehicle movement. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

- The jack provided with the vehicle is intended to be used in an emergency for changing a deflated
tire. To avoid damage to the vehicle, never use the jack to hoist the vehicle for any other purpose.

- Under no circumstances should the vehicle ever be lifted by the front or rear control arms,
halfshafts or front wheel constant velocity (CV) joints. Severe damage to the vehicle could result.

- To prevent possible damage to the underbody, do not drive the vehicle onto the drive-on lift
without first checking for possible interference.

- Damage to the suspension, exhaust or steering linkage components may occur if care is not
exercised when positioning the hoist adapters prior to lifting the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB). For additional information, refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.

NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.

NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.

^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.

6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from

the valve stem.

Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press
and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire
pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and

release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.

8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.

Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.


The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.

For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.

9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the SJB and document them
on the applicable warranty claim.

10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns

with a newly programmed SJB.

If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and perform
the SJB on-demand self test.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator and Message Center Messages The TPMS
indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that cannot be
resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously

NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will result in a false low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS indicator to
illuminate.

1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:

^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.

2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be

necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.

If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Flashes

The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds, then remains ON solid when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, for the following conditions:

1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is

malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic


Procedures

2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has not received

any signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom
Related Diagnostic Procedures

3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR FAULT when the tire pressure

monitoring system is malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost.

2. CAUTION: Metal scrapers may damage the wheel. Use only plastic or non-metallic scrapers to
remove the cradle adhesive strip residue.

NOTE: The sensor and cradle must be installed in the drop well of the wheel, 180 degrees from the
valve stem.

Clean the area where the sensor and cradle are to be installed.

3. NOTE: The sensor and cradle must be positioned with the hinge side of the sensor on the RH
side when viewed from the curb side (beauty side)

of the wheel.

NOTE: The sensor has raised markings indicating how to position the sensor.

Remove the adhesive tape liner from the cradle and position the sensor and cradle into the wheel
drop well 180 degrees from the valve stem.

4. Install the tapered end of the strap through the opening of the cradle on the hinge side of the
sensor. This will position the worm gear on the

locking clip side of the sensor.

5. CAUTION: Steel wheels have a "high spot" along their circumference. Make sure the strap and
sensor are mounted at the lowest spot

possible to avoid damaging the sensor during wheel and tire disassembly and assembly.

NOTE: Keep the strap parallel with the wheel flange while tightening the worm gear.

Blower Motor: Diagram Information and Instructions

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5374

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5375
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 5376

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAY (A/CCR)

NOTE: The PCM PIDs WAC and wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff fault (WACF) are used to
monitor the A/CCR output.

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

A/C CONDENSER

NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning
system, except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or
damage to the receiver/drier.

The A/C condenser is an aluminum fin-and-micro-channel 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 2.3L or 3.0L (4V) vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the top portion of the
condenser is partitioned from the refrigerant system and is used for transmission fluid cooling.

Discharge Air Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

EVAPORATOR DISCHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

NOTE: A second (auxiliary) evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is used for the auxiliary
evaporator core on hybrid vehicles. For information concerning the auxiliary evaporator discharge
air temperature sensor, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor contains a thermistor. The resistance of this
thermistor varies by a specific amount based on the evaporator discharge air temperature. The
dual-zone EATC or EMTC module measures a voltage ratio between the reference voltage it
supplies to the sensor and the sensor return voltage to determine this resistance and the
associated discharge air temperature.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor maintains evaporator core temperature and
prevents icing of the evaporator core. It does this by signaling the HVAC module to switch off the
A/C request signal to the instrument cluster on 2.3L or 3.0L (4V) vehicles, or signaling the PCM to
cycle the A/C compressor off when the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor reading falls
below acceptable levels. The A/C request or A/C compressor will be switched back on when the
evaporator temperature rises above acceptable levels.

On hybrid vehicles, the A/C compressor will continue to run and the passenger zone valve will be
closed by the PCM if the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is reading a temperature
below acceptable levels, but the TBCM is requesting A/C operation for HVTB cooling. This allows
continued refrigerant flow to the auxiliary evaporator core while allowing the front (main) evaporator
core to warm to acceptable levels.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is located on the heater core and evaporator core
housing behind the glove compartment.

EVAPORATOR CORE

NOTE:

- Installation of a new receiver/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning system,
except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage
to the receiver/drier.

- A second (auxiliary) evaporator core is used for HVTB cooling on hybrid vehicles. For information
concerning the auxiliary evaporator core, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.

The evaporator core is an aluminum plate/fin-type and is located in the heater core and evaporator
core housing. A mixture of liquid refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the evaporator core
through the evaporator core inlet tube and continues out of the evaporator core through the
evaporator core outlet tube as a vapor. During A/C compressor operation, airflow from the blower
motor is cooled and dehumidified as it flows through the evaporator core fins.

Evaporator Core: Testing and Inspection

EVAPORATOR/CONDENSER CORE - ON-VEHICLE LEAK TEST

1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery,
Evacuation and Charging. 2. Disconnect the suspect evaporator core (leave the TXV attached to
the evaporator core) or condenser core from the A/C system. 3. Clean the fittings. 4. Connect the
appropriate test fittings from the A/C Fittings Set to the condenser or evaporator core/TXV tube
connections.

5. 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 that will activate the valve. The test is not valid if the shut-off
valve does not open.

Connect the red and blue hoses from the R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the test fittings on the
evaporator core/TXV or condenser core. Connect the yellow hose to a known good vacuum pump.

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 evaporator core or condenser core. If the refrigerant is not
completely removed from the oil, outgassing will degrade the vacuum and appear as a refrigerant
leak.

7. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) when the valves on the
gauge and manifold set are open and the vacuum

pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe the low pressure gauge. If the pressure
rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the test fitting connections and gauge set
connections before installing a new evaporator core or 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 evaporator core or
condenser core. Then recheck for loss of vacuum.

- If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit overnight with vacuum applied and check
for vacuum loss.

9. If the condenser core does leak, as verified by the above procedure, install a new condenser
core.

If the evaporator core/TXV does leak, as verified by the above procedure, disconnect the TXV and
recheck the evaporator core for a leak. If the evaporator core does leak, install a new evaporator
core or condenser core. TEST the system for normal operation.
If the evaporator core does not leak, install new evaporator core/TXV seals and retest the
evaporator core/TXV. If the evaporator core/TXV does leak, install a new TXV. TEST the system
for normal operation.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE (ACET) SENSOR

A/C Evaporator Temperature (ACET) Sensor Voltage And Resistance

The ACET sensor measures the evaporator air discharge temperature. The ACET sensor is a
thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a
thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the
temperature decreases. The PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit. With SIG RTN
also connected to the ACET sensor, the varying resistance changes the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals. As A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the varying resistance of the ACET
sensor changes the voltage the PCM detects.

The ACET sensor is used to more accurately control A/C clutch cycling, improve defrost/demist
performance, and reduce A/C clutch cycling.

NOTE: These values can vary 15% due to sensor and VREF variations. Voltage values were
calculated for VREF equals 5.0 volts.

THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE (TXV)

NOTE:

- Installation of a new receiver/drier is not required when repairing the air conditioning system,
except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage
to the receiver/drier.

- A second (auxiliary) TXV is used for HVTB cooling on hybrid vehicles. For information concerning
the auxiliary TXV, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.

The TXV is located at the evaporator core inlet and outlet tubes at the dash panel at the rear of the
engine compartment. The TXV provides a restriction to the flow of refrigerant from the
high-pressure side of the refrigerant system and separates the low-pressure and high-pressure
sides of the refrigerant system. Refrigerant entering and exiting the evaporator core passes
through the TXV through 2 separate flow paths. An internal temperature sensing bulb senses the
temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator core and adjusts an internal pin-type
valve to meter the refrigerant flow into the evaporator core. The internal pin-type valve decreases
the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator core at lower temperatures and increases the
amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator core at higher temperatures.

Heater Core: Testing and Inspection

HEATER CORE

1. NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater cores are good
and did not require the installation of a new

heater core. If a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must be tested by following the
plugged heater core component test before the heater core pressure test. Carry out a system
inspection by checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:

Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater hose to heater core attachments. A coolant
leak in the heater hose could follow the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in
the heater core.

2. NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and overtightening of
non-specified clamps can cause leakage at the

heater hose connection and damage the heater core.

Check the integrity of the heater hose clamps.

Heater Core - Plugged

1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level. 2. Start the engine and turn on the
heater. 3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, check the heater core inlet and
outlet hoses to see if they are hot. 4. If the outlet only is not hot:

- the heater core may have an air pocket.

- the heater core may be plugged.

5. If the inlet only is not hot, the thermostat may not be working correctly.

Heater Core - Pressure Test

Use the Pressure Test Kit to carry out the pressure test.
1. NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.

Drain the coolant from the cooling system.

2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core. 3. Install a short piece of heater hose,
approximately 101 mm (4 in) long on each heater core tube. 4. Fill the heater core and heater
hoses with water and install plug BT-7422-B and adapter BT-7422-A from the Pressure Test Kit.
Secure the heater

hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps.

5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter. 6. Close the
bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure into the heater core. 7.
Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of 3 minutes. 8. If the pressure drops, check the heater
hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater hoses do not leak, remove the heater
core from the

vehicle.

9. Carry out the bench test.

Heater Core - Bench Test

1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle. 2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core. 3.
Connect the 101 mm (4 in) test heater hoses with plug and adapter to the core tubes. Then
connect the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter. 4. Apply 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure to the heater
core. Submerge the heater core in water. 5. If a leak is observed, install a new heater core.

Switch

Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch

The A/C cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input. When the A/C
cycling switch opens, the PCM turns off the A/C clutch. For information on the specific function of
the A/C cycling switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System Air
Conditioning System Overview. Also, refer to the applicable Vehicle/Diagrams for vehicle specific
wiring.

If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate.

Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C is
requested. This information is received by the PCM through the communication link.

The A/C high pressure switch is used for additional A/C system pressure control. The A/C high
pressure switch is either dual function for multiple speed, relay controlled electric fan applications,
or single function for all others.

For refrigerant containment control, the normally closed high pressure contacts open at a
predetermined A/C pressure. This results in the A/C turning off, preventing the A/C pressure from
rising to a level that would open the A/C high pressure relief valve.

For fan control, the normally open medium pressure contacts close at a predetermined A/C
pressure. This grounds the ACPSW circuit input to the PCM. The PCM then turns on the high
speed fan to help reduce the pressure.

For additional information, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System, Air
Conditioning System Overview or Vehicle/Diagrams.

Typical ACP Transducer Sensor

The ACP transducer sensor is located in the high pressure (discharge) side of the A/C system. The
ACP transducer sensor provides a voltage signal to the PCM that is proportional to the A/C
pressure. The PCM uses this information for A/C clutch control, fan control and idle speed control.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Dual-Function Pressure Switch

Dual-Function Pressure Switch

The dual-function pressure switch is located on the receiver drier and includes 2 separate sets of
contacts that are opened at 2 different pressures.

The first set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor
operation in the event of excessively high discharge pressure in the high-pressure side of the
refrigerant system. The PCM monitors the first set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch
in-series with the low-charge protection switch. When the contacts are open, the PCM will
disengage the A/C compressor clutch.

The second set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch is used by the PCM to engage the
high-speed cooling fan. The PCM monitors the second set of contacts through the A/C pressure
(ACP) circuit. When the A/C pressure rises above a preset level, the second set of contacts will
close and the high-speed cooling fan will be engaged.

The dual-function pressure switch is installed on a Schrader-type valve core fitting on the
receiver/drier. It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the dual-function pressure
switch.

Low-Charge Protection Switch

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch, HVAC > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch > Page 5556
The low-charge protection switch is installed on the evaporator outlet line to cycle the A/C
compressor off in the event of a low refrigerant charge. The PCM monitors the low-charge
protection switch in-series with the dual-function pressure switch. When the low-side pressure
drops below acceptable levels, the low-charge protection switch contacts open. When the
low-charge protection switch contacts are open, the PCM will disengage the A/C compressor
clutch.

The low-charge protection switch is installed on a Schrader-type valve core fitting on the
evaporator outlet line. It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the low-charge
protection switch.

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CLUTCH RELAY (A/CCR)

NOTE: The PCM PIDs WAC and wide open throttle air conditioning cutoff fault (WACF) are used to
monitor the A/CCR output.

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

Discharge Air Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

EVAPORATOR DISCHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

NOTE: A second (auxiliary) evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is used for the auxiliary
evaporator core on hybrid vehicles. For information concerning the auxiliary evaporator discharge
air temperature sensor, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor contains a thermistor. The resistance of this
thermistor varies by a specific amount based on the evaporator discharge air temperature. The
dual-zone EATC or EMTC module measures a voltage ratio between the reference voltage it
supplies to the sensor and the sensor return voltage to determine this resistance and the
associated discharge air temperature.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor maintains evaporator core temperature and
prevents icing of the evaporator core. It does this by signaling the HVAC module to switch off the
A/C request signal to the instrument cluster on 2.3L or 3.0L (4V) vehicles, or signaling the PCM to
cycle the A/C compressor off when the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor reading falls
below acceptable levels. The A/C request or A/C compressor will be switched back on when the
evaporator temperature rises above acceptable levels.

On hybrid vehicles, the A/C compressor will continue to run and the passenger zone valve will be
closed by the PCM if the evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is reading a temperature
below acceptable levels, but the TBCM is requesting A/C operation for HVTB cooling. This allows
continued refrigerant flow to the auxiliary evaporator core while allowing the front (main) evaporator
core to warm to acceptable levels.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is located on the heater core and evaporator core
housing behind the glove compartment.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE (ACET) SENSOR

A/C Evaporator Temperature (ACET) Sensor Voltage And Resistance

The ACET sensor measures the evaporator air discharge temperature. The ACET sensor is a
thermistor device in which resistance changes with temperature. The electrical resistance of a
thermistor decreases as the temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the
temperature decreases. The PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit. With SIG RTN
also connected to the ACET sensor, the varying resistance changes the voltage drop across the
sensor terminals. As A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the varying resistance of the ACET
sensor changes the voltage the PCM detects.

The ACET sensor is used to more accurately control A/C clutch cycling, improve defrost/demist
performance, and reduce A/C clutch cycling.

NOTE: These values can vary 15% due to sensor and VREF variations. Voltage values were
calculated for VREF equals 5.0 volts.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling
Switch

Air Conditioning (A/C) Cycling Switch

The A/C cycling switch may be wired to either the ACCS or ACPSW PCM input. When the A/C
cycling switch opens, the PCM turns off the A/C clutch. For information on the specific function of
the A/C cycling switch, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System Air
Conditioning System Overview. Also, refer to the applicable Vehicle/Diagrams for vehicle specific
wiring.

If the ACCS signal is not received by the PCM, the PCM circuit will not allow the A/C to operate.

Some applications do not have a dedicated (separate) input to the PCM indicating that A/C is
requested. This information is received by the PCM through the communication link.

Air Conditioning (A/C) High Pressure Switch

The A/C high pressure switch is used for additional A/C system pressure control. The A/C high
pressure switch is either dual function for multiple speed, relay controlled electric fan applications,
or single function for all others.

For refrigerant containment control, the normally closed high pressure contacts open at a
predetermined A/C pressure. This results in the A/C turning off, preventing the A/C pressure from
rising to a level that would open the A/C high pressure relief valve.

For fan control, the normally open medium pressure contacts close at a predetermined A/C
pressure. This grounds the ACPSW circuit input to the PCM. The PCM then turns on the high
speed fan to help reduce the pressure.

For additional information, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning, Climate Control System, Air
Conditioning System Overview or Vehicle/Diagrams.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Dual-Function Pressure Switch

Dual-Function Pressure Switch

The dual-function pressure switch is located on the receiver drier and includes 2 separate sets of
contacts that are opened at 2 different pressures.

The first set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch is used to interrupt A/C compressor
operation in the event of excessively high discharge pressure in the high-pressure side of the
refrigerant system. The PCM monitors the first set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch
in-series with the low-charge protection switch. When the contacts are open, the PCM will
disengage the A/C compressor clutch.

The second set of contacts in the dual-function pressure switch is used by the PCM to engage the
high-speed cooling fan. The PCM monitors the second set of contacts through the A/C pressure
(ACP) circuit. When the A/C pressure rises above a preset level, the second set of contacts will
close and the high-speed cooling fan will be engaged.

The dual-function pressure switch is installed on a Schrader-type valve core fitting on the
receiver/drier. It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the dual-function pressure
switch.

Low-Charge Protection Switch

protection switch in-series with the dual-function pressure switch. When the low-side pressure
drops below acceptable levels, the low-charge protection switch contacts open. When the
low-charge protection switch contacts are open, the PCM will disengage the A/C compressor
clutch.

The low-charge protection switch is installed on a Schrader-type valve core fitting on the
evaporator outlet line. It is not necessary to recover the refrigerant to remove the low-charge
protection switch.

SERVICE GAUGE PORT VALVES

The high-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the receiver/drier inlet line.

The low-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the evaporator outlet line.

The fitting is an integral part of the refrigerant line or component.

- Special couplings are required for both the high-side and low-side service gauge ports.

- A very small amount of leakage will always be detectable around the Schrader-type valve with the
service gauge port valve cap removed, and is considered normal. A new Schrader-type valve core
can be installed if the seal leaks excessively.

- The service gauge port valve caps are used as primary seals in the refrigerant system to prevent
leakage through the Schrader-type valves from reaching the atmosphere. Always install and tighten
the A/C service gauge port valve caps to the correct torque after they are removed.

1. NOTE: Refer to the correct removal and installation procedure for all SRS components being
installed.

When any deployable device or combination of devices are deployed and/or the restraints control
module (RCM) has the DTC B1231 (Event Threshold Exceeded) in memory, the repair of the
vehicle's SRS is to include the removal of all deployed devices and the installation of new
deployable devices, the removal and installation of new impact sensors, and the removal and
installation of a new RCM. DTCs must cleared from all required modules after repairs are carried
out.

Vehicles with occupant classification sensor (OCS) system

2. NOTE: After installation of new occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components carry
out the OCS System Reset procedure as

instructed in the Vehicle System. Refer to the appropriate Vehicle System for OCS system removal
and installation procedure.

When a vehicle has been involved in a collision and the occupant classification system module
(OCSM) has DTC B1231 stored in memory, the repair of the OCS system is to include the following
procedures for the specified system: -

For rail type OCS system, inspect the passenger side floorpan for damage and repair as
necessary. Install new OCS rails.

- For weight sensor bolt type OCS system, inspect the passenger side floorpan for damage and
repair as necessary. Install a new seat track with OCS weight sensor bolts.

CAUTION: It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when
a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system
service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.

NOTE:

- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat wiring harness, seat cushion
foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system module [OCSM]) are
calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to
be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad
are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat
wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.

- To identify between a production OCS system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM
electrical connector.

bag module hooks during installation.

- Audible clicks will be heard when the 3 wire clips are seated in the 3 driver air bag module hooks.

Align the driver air bag module hooks to the steering wheel and, while pushing inward, seat the 3
driver air bag module hooks to the steering wheel wire clip. -

When the 3 driver air bag module hooks are seated in place, gently pull outward at the corners of
the driver air bag module to make sure that the 3 hooks are fully seated. There should also be an
even gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel. Check the driver air
bag module and trim cover for correct movement when applying the horn.

15. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 16. Install RCM fuse 32 (10A) to the SPDJB and
install the cover.

17. WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front
of any air bag module when the battery is

connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of
an accidental deployment.

Connect the battery ground cable.

18. Prove out the SRS as follows:

Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: -

fail to light.

- remain lit continuously.

- flash.

The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime
will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any
SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

WARNING: Always tighten the child safety seat tether anchor/bolt to specification. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in the child's safety seat being incorrectly secured, which increases the
risk of serious personal injury or death to the child in a sudden stop or crash.

The child safety seat tether anchors are attached to the roof near the rear liftgate.

If the child safety seat tether anchors were in use during a collision, inspect and install new anchors
as necessary. Return the vehicle structure to its original production configuration.

Lower Anchors and Tethers For Children (LATCH)

The lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH) system is a standardized and uniform
attachment system for installing child safety seats in passenger vehicles. LATCH-equipped child
safety seats have 2 lower attachments that connect to the vehicle portion of the LATCH system.

The vehicle portion of the system consists of 2 attachment points (6-mm wires) welded to the 60
percent and the 40 percent rear seat backrest frame. The attachment points protrude from the
biteline between the seat cushion and seat backrest.

If a child safety seat was in use during a collision, inspect the vehicle portion of the system for
damage. If any of the attachment points (6-mm wires) are damaged, install a new seat backrest
frame. For information on installing a new seat backrest frame, refer to Seats.

Seat Belt Buckle: Description and Operation

SAFETY BELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER

The safety belt buckle and pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess webbing from
the safety belt when deployed. The pretensioner works in conjunction with the front air bag system.
When the front air bags deploy, the pretensioners deploy, causing the buckle to move downward,
removing excess webbing from the lap and shoulder safety belts.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the front air bags and safety belt
pretensioners, a new driver and passenger seat belt system (including safety belt buckle and
pretensioners, safety belt retractors, and height adjusters), must be installed.

For safety belt buckle pretensioner diagnostic information, refer to Air Bag Systems.

Seat Belt Reminder Buzzer: Description and Operation

Safety Belt Warning Indicator and Chime

The safety belt warning indicator and warning chime are reminders to fasten the safety belts. The
system operates as follows: -

If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the
safety belt warning indicator illuminates for one minute and the warning chime sounds for 6
seconds.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is illuminated and the warning chime
is sounding, the safety belt warning indicator and warning chime turn off.

- If the driver safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the safety
belt warning indicator and warning chime remain off.

Belt-Minder(R)

The Belt-Minder(R) feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This
feature provides additional reminders that front safety belts are unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.

Both the driver and passenger safety belts are monitored and either may activate the
Belt-Minder(R) feature. The warnings are the same for the driver and the front passenger. If the
Belt-Minder(R) warnings have expired (warnings for approximately 5 minutes) for one occupant
(driver or front passenger), the other occupant can still activate the Belt-Minder(R) feature.

The Belt-Minder(R) feature uses information from the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system
on the front passenger seat to determine if a front seat passenger is present and therefore
potentially in need of a warning. The warning is activated if the OCS system senses weight
exceeding a programmed set point.

The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder(R) feature is deactivated/activated independently.


When deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder(R) for a seat, do not buckle the safety belts on the
other seat, or the process will be terminated. To deactivate/activate the Belt-Minder(R) feature,
refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.

Dual Locking Mode Retractors

WARNING: After any crash, all of the following safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware must
be inspected by an authorized dealer to verify correct function: -

Retractors

- Buckles

- Belt tension sensor (BTS) (if equipped)

- Front safety belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar) (if equipped)

- Safety belt shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped)

- Child safety seat tether bracket assemblies

- Automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature for child safety seats (passenger seating positions only)

If any safety belt assembly is damaged, does not operate correctly or does not pass all of the
Functional Tests in the Diagnosis and Testing portion, a new safety belt assembly must be
installed. If any safety belt assembly attaching areas are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal
must be restored to its original structural integrity and new safety belt assembly and attaching
hardware must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware
may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

After any crash that results in deployment of the driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt
pretensioners, new driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt systems (including retractors,
buckles and height adjusters) must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt systems increases
the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

NOTE: When installing a new dual locking mode retractor, the retractor should be checked to make
sure it is not in the automatic locking retractor (ALR) mode after installation in the stowed position.

All outboard continuous-loop, 3-point retractor systems, except the driver position, are equipped
with the dual locking mode system.

The emergency locking retractor (ELR) mode will allow the occupant freedom of movement, locking
tight only on hard braking, hard cornering, or an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5 mph). The ELR
mode helps to reduce the forward movement of the driver and passengers. The ELR mode is
continuously in operation at all seating positions.

The ALR portion of this system does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. The ALR mode
is used when locking a child seat in an outboard seating position or when a tight belt fit is desired.
The ALR mode is disengaged when the webbing is free to move in or out of the retractor. The ALR
mode is automatically engaged when the webbing is fully extracted from the retractor and then
allowed to retract. As the webbing is retracted back onto the spool, an audible clicking sound is
made, indicating that the retractor is in ALR mode. The ALR mode is automatically disengaged
when most of the webbing is retracted back onto the spool.

The automatic locking mode must be used when installing a child safety seat in the front or rear
passenger seating positions where dual locking mode retractors are provided.

Energy Management Retractor

This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature at the front seating
positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.
The energy management retractor feature is designed to pay out webbing in a controlled manner.
This feature is designed to help reduce the belt force acting on an occupant's chest.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation

Safety Belt Buckle Pretensioner

The safety belt buckle and pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess webbing from
the safety belt when deployed. The pretensioner works in conjunction with the front air bag system.
When the front air bags deploy, the pretensioners deploy, causing the buckle to move downward,
removing excess webbing from the lap and shoulder safety belts.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the front air bags and safety belt
pretensioners, a new driver and passenger seat belt system (including safety belt buckle and
pretensioners, safety belt retractors, and height adjusters), must be installed.

For safety belt buckle pretensioner diagnostic information, refer to Air Bag Systems.

For safety belt buckle pretensioner disposal information, refer to Air Bag Systems.

Safety Belt Retractor Pretensioner

The driver and passenger seat safety belt retractors use a safety belt pretensioner system. This
works in conjunction with the safety belt buckle pretensioner, front air bag system and, if equipped,
side air bag system. The pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess webbing slack
from the safety belt. When activated by the restraints control module (RCM), the pretensioner
deploys in the retractor, removing excess slack from the lap and shoulder safety belt. The
pretensioners are activated when the RCM detects an impact force exceeding a programmed limit.

If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the safety belt pretensioners, a
new driver and passenger seat belt system (including safety belt buckle and pretensioners or
safety belt retractor and pretensioners, safety belt retractors, safety belts, buckles and height
adjusters), must be installed.

For safety belt retractor pretensioner diagnostic information, refer to Air Bag Systems.

For safety belt retractor pretensioner disposal information, refer to Air Bag Systems.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (OCS)

CAUTION: It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when
a front passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system
service kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.

NOTE:

- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat wiring harness, seat cushion
foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system module [OCSM]) are
calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to
be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad
are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat
wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.

- To identify between a production OCS system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM
electrical connector.

A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.

An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the module. It cannot and should
not be disconnected or altered.

The OCS system is standard equipment on all front outboard passenger seats. For information on
diagnosing or servicing the OCS system, refer to Air Bag Systems.

transmitters will not be programmed.

1. Electronically unlock the door locks using the door lock control switch. 2. Cycle the ignition
switch from the OFF to the RUN position 8 times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds), with the
eighth turn ending in RUN.

If the module successfully enters program mode, it locks and then unlocks all the doors.

3. NOTE: If no action is taken within 20 seconds after a transmitter has been programmed, the
programming sequence ends (the doors lock and

unlock to confirm that programming is complete).

Within 20 seconds, press any button on the RKE transmitter to be programmed. The doors lock
and then unlock to confirm that each RKE transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each
RKE transmitter.

4. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:

- The key transitions to the OFF position.

- 20 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was
programmed.

- The maximum number (4) of RKE transmitters have been programmed.

5. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE
transmitter(s), wait several seconds and press the

button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Locks, Latches and Entry Systems.

1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical
damage.

Visual Inspection Chart

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.

4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

5. NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM.

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: -

Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.

- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network), No Power To The Scan Tool, to
diagnose no communication with the scan tool.

6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

- Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.

- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to diagnose no response from the
PCM.

7. Carry out the network test.

- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Information
Bus (Module Communications Network).

- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.
8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the instrument cluster. 9. If
the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, refer to Body
Control Systems (Multifunction Electronic

Control Module). See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Information and Message Center

10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart. See: Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures

Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The message center is an integral part of the instrument cluster that receives and acts upon much
of the same information that is input and used to operate the instrument cluster gauges,
informational indicators, and warning indicators. The message center, located in the center of the
instrument cluster is a vacuum fluorescent 2-line display. The message center electronic functions
use both hardwired, and the controller area network (CAN) circuitry to transmit and receive
information.

Whenever conditions are present that require a warning message, the message center replaces
the last selected display with the new warning display. Once the message is reset or cleared, the
message center returns to the last selected display. If multiple warnings are present, the message
center displays each warning for approximately 4 seconds. Warning messages are also generally
associated with other observable instrument cluster indications. For example, when the LH front
door is opened, the message center displays the message DRIVER DOOR AJAR along with the
door ajar warning indicator. This allows the message center to be a more informative supplement
to the instrument cluster gauges and indicators.

It is very important to understand:

- where the input (command) originates.

- all the information (messages) necessary in order for a feature to operate.

- which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.

- if the module that received the input (message) controls the output of the feature, or if it outputs a
message over the CAN to another module.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 6027
- which module controls the output of the feature.

Instrument Cluster Messages

NOTE: Whenever a message is suspected as missing, confirmed by a missing message DTC, it is


important to look for other symptoms that may also be present in the instrument cluster and
throughout the vehicle. Once a DTC is set in the instrument cluster, it may be helpful to review the
complete message list available in Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to see what
other modules also rely on the same message and run the self-test for those modules. If the
message is missing from other modules, the same DTC may also be set in those modules.
Confirmation of missing messages common to multiple modules may indicate that the originating
module is the source of the concern or the communication network may be experiencing some
problems.

The instrument cluster uses input messages from other modules to control the gauges,
informational indicators, warning indicators and message center displays over the communication
networks. If a required message is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the gauge or
indicator that requires the message remains at the last commanded state based upon the last
known good message. For example, if the message is missing the driver door ajar off status for
less than 5 seconds and the door ajar indicator was ON, the indicator remains in the ON state until
the next good message is received. If the message remains missing or invalid for greater than 5
seconds, the instrument cluster sets a U-code diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and the output
becomes a default action for the indicator or gauge. Each indicator or gauge utilizes a different
default strategy depending on the nature of the indication. Refer to Instrument Cluster for further
descriptions of the default action specific to each indicator or gauge. If the messaged input to the
cluster returns at any time, the normal function of the gauge or indicator resumes.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Pinpoint Tests

Test A: The Message Center Is Not Operating Correctly

PINPOINT TEST A: THE MESSAGE CENTER IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY

Normal Operation

The message center is located in the center of the instrument cluster between the tachometer and
the speedometer in the vacuum fluorescent display area. The message center is integral to the
instrument cluster and uses the same voltage supply as the instrument cluster. The RUN/START
voltage is supplied to the instrument cluster on circuit CBP29 (WH/VT) and the keep alive B+
voltage is received on circuit SBP26 (YE/RD). The instrument cluster logic ground is through circuit
GD112 (BK/GN) and the bulb ground is through circuit GD114 (BK/BU). The message center
functionality is controlled through the message center switch, which is hardwired to the instrument
cluster through input circuit CMC29 (GN/VT) and return circuit VMC29 (YE).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Instrument cluster

A1-A3

Test B: The Message Center Switch Does Not Operate Correctly


PINPOINT TEST B: THE MESSAGE CENTER SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation

The message center functionality is controlled through the message center switch, which is
hardwired to the instrument cluster through input circuit CMC29 (GN/VT) and return circuit VMC29
(YE). There are 3 message center switch buttons with each button operating a switch that uses
different resistance values. The instrument cluster sends out a reference voltage to the message
center switch on the input circuit and monitors the voltage drop when a message center switch
button is pressed. The voltage drop will vary depending upon the resistance of each button,
providing a specific indication to the instrument cluster which switch is pressed.

DTC B1206 (EIC Switch-1 Assembly Circuit Open) - is a continuous and on-demand DTC that sets
when the instrument cluster detects an open on the message center switch input, circuit CMC29
(GN/VT).

Test C: The STOP SAFELY NOW Warning Is Inoperative/Always On

PINPOINT TEST C: THE STOP SAFELY NOW WARNING IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ON

Normal Operation

The stop safely now display informs the driver that there is a problem with the Hybrid electrical
system and that an impending vehicle shut down is about to occur. The instrument cluster receives
the hazard input from a message over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN)
communication bus from the powertrain control module (PCM), the transmission control module
(TCM) and the traction battery control module (TBCM).
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 6034

NOTE: The instrument cluster turns on both the hazard warning indicator in the instrument cluster
and displays the stop safely now warning simultaneously when a problem or fault has been
detected in any of the 3 modules (PCM, TCM or TBCM).

If the hazard status message is missing from the PCM or if the data is deemed invalid by the
instrument cluster for more than 5 seconds, the instrument cluster sets DTC U0100 in continuous
memory. If the hazard status message is missing from the TCM or if the data is deemed invalid by
the instrument cluster for more than 5 seconds, the instrument cluster sets DTC U0101 in
continuous memory. If the hazard status message is missing from the TBCM or if the data is
deemed invalid by the instrument cluster for more than 5 seconds, the instrument cluster sets DTC
U0111 in continuous memory.

If any one of the 3 messages are missing with the other two valid, the instrument cluster defaults
the STOP SAFELY NOW warning to the last observable state (on or off). If all 3 messages are
missing and the instrument cluster does not see an ignition switch transition into RUN/START, the
instrument cluster defaults the STOP SAFELY NOW warning to the last observable state (on or
off).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM concern

- TCM concern

- TBCM concern

- Instrument cluster

Test D: The REGEN BREAKING DISABLED Message Is Inoperative/Always On

PINPOINT TEST D: THE REGEN BRAKING DISABLED MESSAGE IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS


ON

Normal Operation

The instrument cluster receives the regenerative brake disabled status from the powertrain control
module (PCM) over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) communication bus. If the
regenerative braking system is disabled, the PCM sends a command to the instrument cluster to
display the regenerative braking disabled message.

If the regenerative braking message is missing, the instrument cluster sets DTC U0100 in
continuous memory and the regenerative braking disabled message remains in the last indication
mode (on or off). If the regen braking message is deemed invalid by the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster defaults the regenerative braking disabled message off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Navigation System > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6082

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Navigation System > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6083
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6084

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6167

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6168
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6169

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Trailer Lamps: Diagram Information and Instructions

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

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

Ground Distribution

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

MODULE CONTROLLED FUNCTIONS

NOTE:

- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

- The time out for the battery saver relay and the accessory delay relay (both are controlled by the
SJB/GEM) is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles). Once the vehicle passes the
approximate mileage threshold of 80 km (50 miles), the time out for both relays will be the normal
10 minutes time out, as described by the Owner's Literature.

The SJB/GEM is the only multifunction control module on this vehicle. The SJB/GEM is a
combination of a multifunction control module and a central junction box (CJB). The following
systems are controlled by the SJB/GEM:

- Auto locks

- Exterior lamps

- Illuminated entry and interior lamps

- Keyless entry keypad

- Power door locks

- Remote keyless entry (RKE) system

- Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

The SJB/GEM is located under the front (passenger side floor) console.

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.

4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

5. NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) prove-out confirms power and ground from
the DLC are provided to the VCM.

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: -

Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.

- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network), No Power To The Scan Tool, to
diagnose no communication with the scan tool.

6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

- Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.

- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to diagnose no response from the
PCM.

7. Carry out the network test:

- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Information
Bus (Module Communications Network).

- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the SJB/GEM. 9. If the
DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, REFER to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart. See:

Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Smart Junction Box (SJB)/GEM DTC Chart See: Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart

10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, verify the symptom. GO to Symptom Chart.
See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

NOTE:

- The time out for the battery saver relay and the accessory delay relay is 1 minute if the vehicle
has less than 80 km (50 miles). Once the vehicle passes the approximate mileage threshold of 80
km (50 miles), the time out for both relays will be the normal 10 minute time out, as described by
the Owner's Literature.

- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).

The SJB/GEM is a multifunction control module that controls many of the vehicle systems. Several
SJB/GEM functions utilize hardwired inputs and/or outputs. The SJB/GEM controls the following
hardwired functions, using the corresponding inputs and outputs:
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Body Control Systems > System Information > System Diagnosis > Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 6239

In addition, the SJB/GEM is involved in other vehicle systems through communication over the
controller area network (CAN). For a detailed list of SJB/GEM network inputs and outputs, refer to
Information Bus (Module Communications Network).

Some SJB/GEM parameters are programmable. Two types of programmable parameters are
available: vehicle configuration and customer preference.

The SJB/GEM utilizes a protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the
headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically
short circuits) and are shut down (voltage or ground provided by the module is turned off) when a
fault is detected. A continuous DTC is stored at that time for the fault. The circuit will then reset
after an ignition cycle or customer demand of the function (which will switch the component on,
causing the 30-minute battery saver timer to be energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs
several times, the module shuts down the output until a service procedure is carried out. At the
same time, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure will not clear by a command to
clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not allow this code to be cleared or the normal circuit
function restored, until a successful on-demand self-test proves that the fault has been repaired.
After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), the
continuous DTC will have been cleared and the normal circuit function will be restored.

DTC B106E sets when the SJB/GEM has disabled a circuit due to a repetitive fault causing a circuit
overload. A corresponding DTC for the circuit in question will also be set as follows:
- DTC B1034 - Radio Start Signal Circuit Failure

- DTC B1218 - Horn Relay Coil Circuit Short to Vbatt

- DTC B1304 - Accessory Delay Relay Coil Circuit Short To Battery

- DTC B1316 - Battery Saver Relay Coil Circuit Short To Ground

- DTC B1349 - Heated Backlite Relay Short To Battery

- DTC B1474 - Battery Saver Power Relay Circuit Short To Battery

- DTC B1502 - Lamp Turn Signal Left Circuit Short To Ground

- DTC B1506 - Lamp Turn Signal Right Circuit Short To Ground

- DTC B1626 - Lamp Keypad Output Short Circuit To Ground

- DTC B2070 - Trailer Tow Relay Coil(s) Circuit Failure

- DTC B2501 - LF Lamp Low Beam Circuit Failure

- DTC B2503 - RF Lamp Low Beam Circuit Failure

- DTC B2505 - LF Lamp High Beam Circuit Failure

- DTC B2507 - RF Lamp High Beam Circuit Failure

- DTC B2512 - Front Fog Lamp Relay Ckt Short to Battery

- DTC C1788 - Stoplamp Relay Output Circuit Short to Ground

- DTC C1961 - Park Lamp Relay Coil Circuit Failure

- DTC P0930 - Gear Shift Lock Solenoid Circuit Low

Body Control Systems: Pinpoint Tests

PINPOINT TEST A: DTCS B106E/B106F - SOLID STATE DRIVER DISABLED/MODULE


DISABLED

Normal Operation

When a repetitive fault causing a circuit overload is detected on certain output circuits, the smart
junction box (SJB)/GEM disables the circuit by removing voltage, or ground, to the affected circuit.
The circuit remains disabled until the fault is corrected and an on-demand self-test is run. When the
on-demand self-test has been run after all faults have been corrected, any DTCs related to the fault
are cleared.

DTC B106E (Solid State Driver Disabled Due to Short Circuit) - sets when the SJB/GEM has
disabled a circuit due to a repetitive fault causing a circuit overload. For a complete list of
corresponding DTCs, refer to Principles of Operation. See: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Principles of Operation
DTC B106F (Module Disabled Due to External Fault) - sets when one or more output functions are
permanently disabled due to a repetitive circuit overload fault. When DTC B106F is present, the
SJB/GEM must be replaced after the fault condition has been corrected.

Possible Causes

- Output circuit short to ground or voltage

- SJB/GEM

FRAME ASSEMBLY

Front Subframe

The front subframe is bolted to the body and is used to: -

aid in structural support.

- provide mounting surfaces for the front suspension control arms.

- provide a mounting point for the engine isolators.

- provide the mounting surface for the steering gear.

- provide the mounting surface for the sway bar.

Rear Subframe

The rear subframe is bolted to the body and is used to: -

aid in structural support.

- provide mounting surfaces for the rear suspension control arms.

- provide mounting surfaces for the rear differential (all-wheel drive [AWD]).

Welding Precautions

The correct equipment and settings must be used when welding mild or high strength steel. Metal
inert gas (MIG) and resistance spot welding are the preferred methods. Surfaces must be clean
and free of foreign materials.

- The correct protective clothing should always be worn.

- Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid accumulation of poisonous gases.

- A test weld should always be carried out on a test sample.

- Follow equipment manufacturer's prescribed procedures and equipment settings for the type of
weld being used.

- Disconnect the battery ground cable from the battery.

- On Hybrid vehicles, depower the high voltage traction battery system. Refer to Hybrid Drive
Systems.

- Disconnect on-vehicle modules and protect them from possible heat damage and electrical
currents when welding.

- Corrosion protection needs to be restored whenever it is necessary to sand or grind through


painted surfaces or Ecoat, or when bare metal repairs are carried out. Refer to Restoring Corrosion
Protection Following Repair.

Underbody misalignment can affect front and rear wheel alignment, the operation of the
suspension parts and drivetrain operation. Window glass cracks, door and window opening
concerns, and air or water leaks at the doors are often caused by incorrectly tightened bolts and
body misalignment.

WARNING: -

Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain modules. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases
the risk of serious personal injury or death.

- Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control
module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety canopy and cause serious
personal injury or death.

- To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTE: -

The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is
removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

- The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

1. Turn all vehicle accessories OFF. 2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 3. At the smart power
distribution junction box (SPDJB), located at the RH side of the center console, remove the cover
and the restraints control

module (RCM) fuse 32 (10A) from the SPDJB.


4. Turn the ignition ON and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator for at least 30 seconds.
The air bag warning indicator will remain lit

continuously (no flashing) if the correct RCM fuse has been removed. If the air bag warning
indicator does not remain lit continuously, remove the correct RCM fuse before proceeding.

5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

6. WARNING: Always deplete the backup power supply before repairing or installing any new front
or side air bag supplemental restraint

system (SRS) component and before servicing, removing, installing, adjusting or striking
components near the front or side impact sensors or the restraints control module (RCM). Nearby
components include doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood
latches.

Refer to the Description and Operation portion of Air Bag Systems for location of the RCM and
impact sensor(s).

To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least
1 minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power supplies (if equipped).

Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an
accidental deployment.

Disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least one minute.

Repowering Procedure

1. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 2. Install RCM fuse 32 (10A) to the SPDJB and install
the cover.

3. WARNING: Make sure no one is in the vehicle and there is nothing blocking or placed in front of
any air bag module when the battery is

connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of
an accidental deployment.

Connect the battery ground cable.

4. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will
light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present,
the air bag indicator will: -

fail to light.

- remain lit continuously.

- flash.

The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault
discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

Clear all continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the restraints control module using a
scan tool.

14. NOTE:

- Make sure the driver air bag module wiring harness is routed down and away from the driver air
bag module hooks during installation.

- Audible clicks will be heard when the 3 wire clips are seated in the 3 driver air bag module hooks.

Align the driver air bag module hooks to the steering wheel and, while pushing inward, seat the 3
driver air bag module hooks to the steering wheel wire clip. -

When the 3 driver air bag module hooks are seated in place, gently pull outward at the corners of
the driver air bag module to make sure that the 3 hooks are fully seated. There should also be an
even gap between the driver air bag module trim cover and the steering wheel. Check the driver air
bag module and trim cover for correct movement when applying the horn.

15. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON. 16. Install RCM fuse 32 (10A) to the SPDJB and

connected. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of
an accidental deployment.

Connect the battery ground cable.

18. Prove out the SRS as follows:

Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS
fault is present, the air bag warning indicator will: -

fail to light.

- remain lit continuously.

- flash.

The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime
will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any
SRS fault discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

Clear all continuous DTCs from the restraints control module using a scan tool.

unlock to confirm that programming is complete).

Within 20 seconds, press any button on the RKE transmitter to be programmed. The doors lock
and then unlock to confirm that each RKE transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each
RKE transmitter.

4. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:

- The key transitions to the OFF position.

- 20 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was
programmed.

- The maximum number (4) of RKE transmitters have been programmed.

5. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for the programmed RKE
transmitter(s), wait several seconds and press the

button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Locks, Latches and Entry Systems.
(Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE transmitters are attempted to be

CAUTION:

- It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front
passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service
kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.

- Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion, it is not serviceable
separately. If a new cushion heater mat is needed on the front passenger seat, an occupant
classification sensor (OCS) system service kit equipped with a heater mat must be installed.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system. Refer to Air
Bag Systems for the OCS removal and installation procedure.

NOTE:

- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat wiring harness, seat cushion
foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system module [OCSM]) are
calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to
be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad
are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat
wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.

- To identify between a production OCS system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM
electrical connector.

A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.

An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the module, it cannot and should
not be disconnected or altered.

7. WARNING: Make sure the front passenger seat repair is complete, the seat and all attached
components (head restraint, seat side shield,

etc.) are correctly assembled, and the seat is correctly installed to the vehicle before carrying out
the System Reset. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the
occupant classification sensor (OCS) system and increases the risk of serious personal injury or
death in a crash.

CAUTION: To prevent system failure, the following precautions must be taken before carrying out
the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset: -

Make sure the voltage to the occupant classification system module (OCSM) is above 8.0 volts and
less than 18.0 volts.

- Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 6°C (42°F) or above 36°C (97°F) when
initiating the OCS system reset process. If the vehicle has been exposed to extreme cold or hot
temperatures, the vehicle must be exposed and kept at a temperature within the limits, 6°C to 36°C
(42°F to 97°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.

- Make sure nothing is present on the passenger seat before carrying out the OCS system reset
and nothing is placed on the seat during the process.

- Make sure a minimum 8-second time period has passed after cycling the ignition switch ON
before the carrying out the OCS system reset process.
NOTE: If the first attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful, a second attempt
must be made. If the second attempt is unsuccessful, a new OCS system service kit must be
installed.

Carry out the OCS system reset active command.

8. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.

Cycle the ignition switch from ON to OFF.

All seats

9. Prove out the SRS as follows:

Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an SRS fault is
present, the air bag warning indicator will: -

fail to light.

- remain lit continuously.

- flash at a 5Hz rate (RCM not configured).

The air bag warning indicator may not illuminate until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition
switch has been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to
complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault
exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning
indicator and any SRS fault discovered must be

WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, safety canopy or side air curtain
modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these
modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.

CAUTION:

- It is necessary to carry out the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system reset when a front
passenger seat cushion is disassembled, a new trim cover is installed or an OCS system service
kit is installed. A scan tool is used to carry out the OCS system reset command. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in system failure and the incorrect operation of the OCS system.

- Do not install a new heater mat on a front passenger seat cushion, it is not serviceable
separately. If a new cushion heater mat is needed on the front passenger seat, an occupant
classification sensor (OCS) system service kit equipped with a heater mat must be installed.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS system. Refer to Air
Bag Systems for the OCS removal and installation procedure.

NOTE:

- Occupant classification sensor (OCS) system components (seat wiring harness, seat cushion
foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor and occupant classification system module [OCSM]) are
calibrated to each other and are serviced as an assembly. The OCS system components are not to
be installed separately. If a new OCS system, OCS system component or seat cushion foam pad
are needed, an OCS system service kit (seat cushion foam pad, bladder with pressure sensor, seat
wiring harness and OCSM) must be installed as an assembly.

- To identify between a production OCS system and a OCS system service kit, inspect the OCSM
electrical connector.

A production OCS system allows the disconnection of the OCSM electrical connector.

An OCS system service kit has the electrical connector glued to the module, it cannot and should
not be disconnected or altered.

- The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is
removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate a
supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Information and Instructions > Page 6951

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution

Information and Instructions > Page 6952
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

Information and Instructions > Page 6953

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Description and Operation

Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows: -

to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Brake Pedal Switch (BPS)/Brake Deactivator Switch

The BPS, also called the brake deactivator switch, is for vehicle speed control deactivation. A
normally closed switch supplies battery positive voltage (B+) to the PCM when the brake pedal is
not applied. When the brake pedal is applied, the normally closed switch opens and power is
removed from the PCM.

On some applications the normally closed BPS, along with the normally open BPP switch, are used
for a brake rationality test within the PCM. The PCM misfire monitor profile learn function may be
disabled if a brake switch concern occurs. If one or both brake pedal inputs to the PCM is not
changing states when they were expected to, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set by the PCM
strategy.

Clutch Switch: Description and Operation

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION (CPP) SWITCH

Typical Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch

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

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7178

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7179
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Compass: Description and Operation

ELECTRONIC COMPASS

The compass display is contained in the front display interface module (FDIM). For removal and
installation information for the FDIM, refer to Radio, Stereo, and Compact Disc. The compass
module is attached to the interior rearview mirror and is replaced separately from the mirror. The
MODE button that allows the driver to operate the calibration and zone setting procedures is
located on the top left of the compass module. The vehicle heading is displayed as a 1 or 2
character display located in the lower left hand side of the FDIM and indicates the current direction
of the vehicle (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW). The compass continuously recalibrates due to
changes in the magnetic field and remains accurate during most driving conditions. The compass
display is on with the key in the ON or START positions. When the key is first turned to the ON or
START position, there is a momentary delay of approximately 6 seconds before the compass
display illuminates. If the battery saver has been activated and the key is turned to ON or START,
the momentary delay before the compass display illuminates is approximately 3 seconds. The
compass display will turn off as soon as the key is turned to the OFF or ACC positions.

Compass Accuracy

Driving near power lines, or driving in the area of large iron or steel structures can temporarily
change the compass heading. If the compass remains inaccurate after driving near such objects,
calibrate the compass.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the
northerly direction on maps. This variation is 4 degrees between the adjacent zones and becomes
noticeable as the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting eliminates the error.

Compass: Adjustments Vehicle Demagnetizing

VEHICLE DEMAGNETIZING

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

NOTE:

- The demagnetizing process requires the use of a demagnetizing coil commonly used by television
repair technicians to demagnetize television tubes.

- To demagnetize, use a constant circular motion over the vehicle roof. Do not turn off the
demagnetizer while sweeping the vehicle roof to prevent remagnetizing ferrous materials contained
in the vehicle.

- During the demagnetizing process, make sure the phenolic surface of the tool (the side opposite
the handle) is closest to the vehicle surface.

1. Demagnetize the front third of the vehicle roof.

1 Turn on the demagnetizer at least 1 m (3 ft) away from the vehicle.

2 Holding the demagnetizer no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) from the vehicle roof and starting on the
passenger side, demagnetize the front third of the vehicle roof closest to the windshield using a
constant circular motion. Keep the circle radius within 30 cm (12 in) while sweeping across the
entire surface of the vehicle roof closest to the windshield. Continue the circular motion 4 times.

3 After the fourth pass and without stopping, move the demagnetizer at least 1 m (3 ft) away from
the vehicle.

4 Turn the demagnetizer off.

2. Carry out the compass zone adjustment procedure. See: Compass Zone Adjustment 3. Carry

COMPASS CALIBRATION

1. NOTE: For optimum calibration, drive to an open, level location away from large metallic objects
or structures. Switch off all non-essential

electrical accessories (heated rear window, heater fan, A/C, map lamps, and wipers) and make
sure all doors are closed.

Start the vehicle.

2. NOTE:

- It is not possible to exit the CAL mode unless the vehicle is driven in circles.

- While holding the MODE button down, the compass display will first enter the ZONE setting mode
(after 5 seconds) and then after another 5 seconds (10 seconds total), the compass display will
enter the CAL mode.

Press and hold (for approximately 10 seconds) the MODE button until CAL appears in the display,
then release the MODE button.

3. NOTE: If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle at least 5 times,
repeat the procedure.

Drive the vehicle slowly at less than 5 km/h (3 mph) in a continuous circle until CAL disappears
from the display and the compass heading is shown.

4. If the CAL message does not turn off within 5 circles (and the procedure has been repeated at
least once), install a new compass module (attached

to the interior rearview mirror).

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.

4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

5. NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM.

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: -

Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.

- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network), No Power To The Scan Tool, to
diagnose no communication with the scan tool.

6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

- Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.

- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to diagnose no response from the
PCM.

7. Carry out the network test.

- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Information
Bus (Module Communications Network).

- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.
8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the instrument cluster. 9. If
the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, refer to Body
Control Systems (Multifunction Electronic

Control Module). See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Information


and Message Center

10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart. See: Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures

Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The message center is an integral part of the instrument cluster that receives and acts upon much
of the same information that is input and used to operate the instrument cluster gauges,
informational indicators, and warning indicators. The message center, located in the center of the
instrument cluster is a vacuum fluorescent 2-line display. The message center electronic functions
use both hardwired, and the controller area network (CAN) circuitry to transmit and receive
information.

Whenever conditions are present that require a warning message, the message center replaces
the last selected display with the new warning display. Once the message is reset or cleared, the
message center returns to the last selected display. If multiple warnings are present, the message
center displays each warning for approximately 4 seconds. Warning messages are also generally
associated with other observable instrument cluster indications. For example, when the LH front
door is opened, the message center displays the message DRIVER DOOR AJAR along with the
door ajar warning indicator. This allows the message center to be a more informative supplement
to the instrument cluster gauges and indicators.

It is very important to understand:

- where the input (command) originates.

- all the information (messages) necessary in order for a feature to operate.

- which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.

- if the module that received the input (message) controls the output of the feature, or if it outputs a
message over the CAN to another module.

- which module controls the output of the feature.

Instrument Cluster Messages

NOTE: Whenever a message is suspected as missing, confirmed by a missing message DTC, it is


important to look for other symptoms that may also be present in the instrument cluster and
throughout the vehicle. Once a DTC is set in the instrument cluster, it may be helpful to review the
complete message list available in Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to see what
other modules also rely on the same message and run the self-test for those modules. If the
message is missing from other modules, the same DTC may also be set in those modules.
Confirmation of missing messages common to multiple modules may indicate that the originating
module is the source of the concern or the communication network may be experiencing some
problems.

The instrument cluster uses input messages from other modules to control the gauges,
informational indicators, warning indicators and message center displays over the communication
networks. If a required message is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the gauge or
indicator that requires the message remains at the last commanded state based upon the last
known good message. For example, if the message is missing the driver door ajar off status for
less than 5 seconds and the door ajar indicator was ON, the indicator remains in the ON state until
the next good message is received. If the message remains missing or invalid for greater than 5
seconds, the instrument cluster sets a U-code diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and the output
becomes a default action for the indicator or gauge. Each indicator or gauge utilizes a different
default strategy depending on the nature of the indication. Refer to Instrument Cluster for further
descriptions of the default action specific to each indicator or gauge. If the messaged input to the
cluster returns at any time, the normal function of the gauge or indicator resumes.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Pinpoint Tests

Test A: The Message Center Is Not Operating Correctly

PINPOINT TEST A: THE MESSAGE CENTER IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY

Normal Operation

The message center is located in the center of the instrument cluster between the tachometer and
the speedometer in the vacuum fluorescent display area. The message center is integral to the
instrument cluster and uses the same voltage supply as the instrument cluster. The RUN/START
voltage is supplied to the instrument cluster on circuit CBP29 (WH/VT) and the keep alive B+
voltage is received on circuit SBP26 (YE/RD). The instrument cluster logic ground is through circuit
GD112 (BK/GN) and the bulb ground is through circuit GD114 (BK/BU). The message center
functionality is controlled through the message center switch, which is hardwired to the instrument
cluster through input circuit CMC29 (GN/VT) and return circuit VMC29 (YE).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Instrument cluster

A1-A3

Test B: The Message Center Switch Does Not Operate Correctly


PINPOINT TEST B: THE MESSAGE CENTER SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY

Normal Operation

The message center functionality is controlled through the message center switch, which is
hardwired to the instrument cluster through input circuit CMC29 (GN/VT) and return circuit VMC29
(YE). There are 3 message center switch buttons with each button operating a switch that uses
different resistance values. The instrument cluster sends out a reference voltage to the message
center switch on the input circuit and monitors the voltage drop when a message center switch
button is pressed. The voltage drop will vary depending upon the resistance of each button,
providing a specific indication to the instrument cluster which switch is pressed.

DTC B1206 (EIC Switch-1 Assembly Circuit Open) - is a continuous and on-demand DTC that sets
when the instrument cluster detects an open on the message center switch input, circuit CMC29
(GN/VT).

DTC B1208 (EIC Switch-1 Assembly Circuit Short to Ground) - is a continuous and on-demand
DTC that sets when the instrument cluster detects a short to ground on the message center switch
input, circuit CMC29 (GN/VT).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Test C: The STOP SAFELY NOW Warning Is Inoperative/Always On

PINPOINT TEST C: THE STOP SAFELY NOW WARNING IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ON

Normal Operation

The stop safely now display informs the driver that there is a problem with the Hybrid electrical
system and that an impending vehicle shut down is about to occur. The instrument cluster receives
the hazard input from a message over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN)
communication bus from the powertrain control module (PCM), the transmission control module
(TCM) and the traction battery control module (TBCM).
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Driver/Vehicle Information Display >
Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 7244

NOTE: The instrument cluster turns on both the hazard warning indicator in the instrument cluster
and displays the stop safely now warning simultaneously when a problem or fault has been
detected in any of the 3 modules (PCM, TCM or TBCM).

If the hazard status message is missing from the PCM or if the data is deemed invalid by the
instrument cluster for more than 5 seconds, the instrument cluster sets DTC U0100 in continuous
memory. If the hazard status message is missing from the TCM or if the data is deemed invalid by
the instrument cluster for more than 5 seconds, the instrument cluster sets DTC U0101 in
continuous memory. If the hazard status message is missing from the TBCM or if the data is
deemed invalid by the instrument cluster for more than 5 seconds, the instrument cluster sets DTC
U0111 in continuous memory.

If any one of the 3 messages are missing with the other two valid, the instrument cluster defaults
the STOP SAFELY NOW warning to the last observable state (on or off). If all 3 messages are
missing and the instrument cluster does not see an ignition switch transition into RUN/START, the
instrument cluster defaults the STOP SAFELY NOW warning to the last observable state (on or
off).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PCM concern

- TCM concern

- TBCM concern

- Instrument cluster

C3-C7

Test D: The REGEN BREAKING DISABLED Message Is Inoperative/Always On

PINPOINT TEST D: THE REGEN BRAKING DISABLED MESSAGE IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS


ON

Normal Operation

The instrument cluster receives the regenerative brake disabled status from the powertrain control
module (PCM) over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) communication bus. If the
regenerative braking system is disabled, the PCM sends a command to the instrument cluster to
display the regenerative braking disabled message.

If the regenerative braking message is missing, the instrument cluster sets DTC U0100 in
continuous memory and the regenerative braking disabled message remains in the last indication
mode (on or off). If the regen braking message is deemed invalid by the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster defaults the regenerative braking disabled message off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


- PCM concern

The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.

Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir

The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

4. Prove out the supplemental restraint system (SRS) as follows:
Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the key back to ON and visually
monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will
light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an air bag SRS fault is present,
the air bag indicator will: -

fail to light.

- remain lit continuously.

- flash.

The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been
turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will sound
in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault
discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator and Message Center Messages The TPMS
indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that cannot be
resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously

NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will result in a false low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS indicator to
illuminate.

1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:

^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.

2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be

necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.

If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Flashes

The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds, then remains ON solid when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, for the following conditions:

1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is

malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and


Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has not received

any signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Tire Monitoring System/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR FAULT when the tire pressure

monitoring system is malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost.

- the PCM is operating in the hardware limited operation strategy (HLOS).

- The MIL remains off during the instrument cluster prove out if an indicator or instrument cluster
concern is present.

- To turn off the MIL after a repair, a reset command from the scan tool must be sent, or 3
consecutive drive cycles must be completed without a concern.

- For all MIL concerns, go to Symptom Charts. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

- If the MIL flashes at a steady rate, a severe misfire condition may exist.

- If the MIL flashes erratically, the PCM can reset while cranking if the battery voltage is low.

- The MIL flashes after a period of time with the key in the RUN position (engine not running) if
DTC P1000 is set.

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair

Oil Life

An oil change is required whenever indicated by the message center. USE ONLY
RECOMMENDED ENGINE OILS.

To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change ( approximately 7,500 miles (
12,000 km ) or 12 months ) perform the following:

1. Press and release the SETUP control to display "OIL LIFE = XXX% HOLD RESET = NEW".

2. Press and hold the RESET control for 2 seconds and release. Oil life is set to 100% and "OIL
LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed. 3. While "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed, if a lower oil life
is start value is desired , press and release the RESET control to reduce the start

value. Each press of the RESET control reduces the value by 10 percent.

Note: Oil life start value of 100% equals 7,500 miles ( 12,000 km ) or 12 months. For example,
setting oil life start value to 60% sets the oil life start value to 4,500 miles ( 7,200 km ) and 108
days.

Seat Belt Reminder Buzzer: Description and Operation

Safety Belt Warning Indicator and Chime

The safety belt warning indicator and warning chime are reminders to fasten the safety belts. The
system operates as follows: -

If the driver safety belt is not buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the
safety belt warning indicator illuminates for one minute and the warning chime sounds for 6
seconds.
- If the driver safety belt is buckled while the warning indicator is illuminated and the warning chime
is sounding, the safety belt warning indicator and warning chime turn off.

- If the driver safety belt is buckled before the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the safety
belt warning indicator and warning chime remain off.

Belt-Minder(R)

The Belt-Minder(R) feature is a supplemental warning to the safety belt warning function. This
feature provides additional reminders that front safety belts are unbuckled by intermittently
sounding a chime and illuminating the safety belt warning lamp in the instrument cluster.

Both the driver and passenger safety belts are monitored and either may activate the
Belt-Minder(R) feature. The warnings are the same for the driver and the front passenger. If the
Belt-Minder(R) warnings have expired (warnings for approximately 5 minutes) for one occupant
(driver or front passenger), the other occupant can still activate the Belt-Minder(R) feature.

The Belt-Minder(R) feature uses information from the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system
on the front passenger seat to determine if a front seat passenger is present and therefore
potentially in need of a warning. The warning is activated if the OCS system senses weight
exceeding a programmed set point.

The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder(R) feature is deactivated/activated independently.


When deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder(R) for a seat, do not buckle the safety belts on the
other seat, or the process will be terminated. To deactivate/activate the Belt-Minder(R) feature,
refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.

The FP module is a device that contains the fuel pump and sender assembly. The fuel pump is
located inside the FP module reservoir and supplies fuel through the FP module manifold to the
engine and FP module jet pump. The jet pump continuously refills the reservoir with fuel, and a
check valve located in the manifold outlet maintains system pressure when the fuel pump is not
energized. A flapper valve located in the bottom of the reservoir allows fuel to enter the reservoir
and prime the fuel pump during the initial fill.

Fuel Pump (FP) Module and Reservoir

The FP module is mounted inside the fuel tank in a reservoir. The pump has a discharge check
valve that maintains the system pressure after the key has been turned off to minimize starting
concerns. The reservoir prevents fuel flow interruptions during extreme vehicle maneuvers with low
tank fill levels.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Testing and Inspection

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator and Message Center Messages The TPMS
indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that cannot be
resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Illuminates Continuously

NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the
vehicle to restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will result in a false low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS indicator to
illuminate.

1. The TPMS indicator remains on continuously for the following condition:

^ Low Tire Pressure - The TPMS indicator is illuminated solid and the message center displays
LOW TIRE PRESSURE (if equipped). This is displayed when any of the tire pressures are low.
When this condition exists, the tire pressure must be adjusted to the recommended cold pressure
as indicated on the vehicle certification label.

2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be

necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the
SJB.

If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator Flashes

The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds, then remains ON solid when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position, for the following conditions:

1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
SENSOR FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is

malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic


Procedures

2. No communication with the SJB (TPMS is integral to the SJB) - The TPMS indicator is
illuminated when the instrument cluster has not received

any signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the message center displays TIRE
PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart. See: Testing and Inspection/Symptom
Related Diagnostic Procedures

3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR FAULT when the tire pressure

monitoring system is malfunctioning or communication with the instrument cluster has been lost.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor
Training

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training

Special Tool(s)

NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep
mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the
latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB). For additional information, refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area
without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and
appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.

NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the activation tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with
the activation tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at
least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.

NOTE: The SJB has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not
recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and
the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire
procedure must be repeated.

NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain
F-Series), the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the
sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for
front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal. 2. Cycle the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. 3.
Press and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 5. Turn the
ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position.

^ The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered
successfully. If equipped, the message center will display TRAIN LF TIRE.

6. NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the
activation tool must remain in place 180 degrees from

the valve stem.

Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press
and release the test button on the special tool. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire
pressure sensor has been recognized by the SJB.

Sensor > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training >
Page 7415

7. Within 2 minutes of the horn sounding, place the activation tool on the RF tire sidewall opposite
(180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and

release the test button to train the RF tire pressure sensor.

8. NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the SJB will time out
and the entire procedure must be repeated.

Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.


The procedure is completed after the last tire has been trained. When the training procedure is
complete, the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE.

For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure
will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the
horn sounds twice when the switch is turned to the OFF position, the training procedure was not
successful.

9. Using the scan tool, locate the updated TPMS sensor IDs trained to the SJB and document them
on the applicable warranty claim.

10. NOTE: This step is required to clear DTC C2780, cause the SJB to exit the manufacturing
mode and to make sure there are no other concerns

with a newly programmed SJB.

If the sensors are being trained due to the installation of a new SJB, clear any DTCs and perform
the SJB on-demand self test.

Brake Lamp: Diagram Information and Instructions

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7457

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7458
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7459

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.

NOTE: -

Make sure the headlamp switch is in the OFF position.

- Make sure the multifunction switch is in the LOW BEAM position.

4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

5. NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM.

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: -

Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.

- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network), No Power To The Scan Tool, to
diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

- Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.

- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to diagnose no response from the
powertrain control module (PCM).

7. Carry out the network test.

- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Information
Bus (Module Communications Network).

- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the smart junction box
(SJB). 9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs,
refer to Body Control Systems (Multifunction Electronic

Control Module). See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions

10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart. See: Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures

Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The smart junction box (SJB) monitors the input from the stoplamp switch. When the brake pedal is
applied, voltage is routed to the SJB and the high mounted stoplamp. The SJB then supplies
voltage to the stoplamps.

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection

The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the
headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically
short circuits) and are shut down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a
fault is
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 7476
detected. A continuous DTC is stored at that time for the fault. The circuit will then reset after a
customer demand of the function (switching the component on, battery saver being energized).
When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the module shuts down the output until a
repair procedure is carried out. At the same time, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first
failure will not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not allow this
code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal operation until a successful on-demand self-test
proves that the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed
(no on-demand DTCs present), the continuous DTC will have been cleared and the circuit function
will return.

Each circuit has three predefined levels of short circuit tolerance established in the module based
on each circuits' capability. When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC
associated with the circuit sets along with DTC B106E. These DTCs may be cleared using the
Clear DTC operation on the scan tool as long as the fault itself has been corrected. If any of the
circuits are shorted past the third level, then B106F and B1342 set along with the associated
continuous DTC. This DTC cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced.

The SJB FET protected output circuits for the stoplamp system are for the LH rear stop/turn lamp
output and the RH rear stop/turn lamp output circuits.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7505

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7506
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7507

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Principles of Operation

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The smart junction box (SJB) supplies voltage to the interior lighting system. The interior lighting
system illuminates the courtesy lamps while a vehicle door is ajar, and the vehicle speed is less
than 5 km/h (3 mph). The SJB controls all interior lighting functions and timing by monitoring inputs
from the door ajar switches, the dimmer switch, and the vehicle speed.

Interior Mode

The interior mode feature allows the user to manually control the interior lamps independent of the
ignition position. The interior lights turn on when
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview > Page 7524
the dimmer switch is rotated to the top (dome) detent. The interior lights are activated by other
interior lighting features when the dimmer switch is positioned in the dimming control range. The
courtesy lights are kept off when the dimmer switch is rotated to the bottom (dome) detent.

Interior Lighting Delay

The interior lighting delay feature provides temporary illumination of the courtesy lamps after the
doors are opened and then closed. The interior lighting delay feature keeps the courtesy lamps on
for a period of 25 seconds. If during the 25-second delay time the SJB detects that the ignition has
been turned to RUN, ACC, START, or if the vehicle is locked using the remote keyless entry (RKE)
transmitter, the courtesy lamp illumination is discontinued.

Illuminated Entry

The illuminated entry requests the courtesy lamps to illuminate when the ignition is OFF and the
RKE transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed. The illuminated entry requests the courtesy lamps off
after 25 seconds have elapsed, the ignition is switched to ON, or when the RKE transmitter LOCK
button is pressed.

Illuminated Exit

The illuminated exit requests the courtesy lamps illuminate for 25 seconds when all doors are
closed and the ignition key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder. The illuminated exit
deactivates when any door becomes ajar, the ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder,
or 25 seconds have elapsed.

Theater Lighting

The theater lighting feature ramps-up the courtesy lamps over 0.7 second when courtesy lamp
activation is requested. The theater lighting feature ramps-down the courtesy lamps over 1.7
seconds when interior lighting deactivation is requested by any feature other than the panic alarm
or the battery saver.

Interior Lamp Arbitrator

The interior lamp arbitrator (located in the SJB) chooses between the interior lighting, the interior
mode, the interior lighting delay, the illuminated entry, the illuminated exit, the battery saver, and
the alarm flash processing to determine which feature has precedence of activating and
deactivating the interior lamps.

The features are prioritized as follows: -

Alarm flash processing

- Battery saver

- Interior mode

- Interior lighting

- Interior light delay

- Illuminated entry

- Illuminated exit

Battery Saver

The battery saver is internal to the SJB and provides automatic shut-off of the demand lamps
(cargo lamp, vanity lamps, map lamps) and courtesy lamps after a time-out period in order to save
battery voltage. A timer in the SJB is started when the ignition is turned to the OFF position. When
the time-out period for the lamps has elapsed, the voltage is automatically shut off to the lamps by
the battery saver. While the battery saver has voltage disabled, if the ignition is turned to any
position other than OFF, the key is removed from the ignition cylinder, the dome lamp switch is
turned to the ON position, any door becomes ajar, any button, except the LOCK button, of the RKE
transmitter is pressed, or a valid entry code is entered on the keypad, the battery saver restores
voltage and starts the timer again.

NOTE: Time out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).

The battery saver time-outs are as follows: -

Courtesy lamps = 10 minutes

- Demand lamps = 10 minutes

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection

The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the
headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically
short circuits) and are shut down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a
fault is detected. A continuous DTC is stored at that time for the fault. The circuit then resets after a
customer demand of the function (switching the component on, battery saver being energized).
When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the module shuts down the output until a
repair procedure is carried out. At the same time, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first
failure will not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not allow this
code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal until a successful on-demand self-test proves
that the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no
on-demand DTCs present), the continuous DTC will have been cleared and the circuit function
returns.

Each circuit has three predefined levels of short circuit tolerance established in the module based
on each circuits' capability. When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC
associated with the circuit sets along with DTC B106E. These DTCs may be cleared using the
Clear DTC operation on the scan tool as long as the fault itself has been corrected. If any of the
circuits are shorted past the third level, then B106F sets along with the associated continuous DTC.
This DTC cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced.

Courtesy Lamp: Pinpoint Tests

Test A: The Courtesy Lamps Are Inoperative

PINPOINT TEST A: THE COURTESY LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE

Normal Operation

Power is supplied to the courtesy lamps through the smart junction box (SJB) fuse 9 (15A), which
supplies voltage to the courtesy lamps solid-state relay in the SJB. When any door is opened, the
ajar switch opens, signaling the SJB. The SJB monitors the ajar circuits, and based on the ajar
status, the SJB energizes the solid-state relay supplying voltage to the courtesy lamps on circuit
VLN33 (GY/VT). The SJB also monitors the dome defeat output through circuit CLN27 (WH/BN). A
short to ground on circuit CLN27 (WH/BN) will cause the courtesy lamps to be inoperative. Ground
for the courtesy lamps is supplied through circuit GD182 (BK/GY).

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Daytime Running Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7550

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Daytime Running Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7551
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Daytime Running Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7552

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION

1. Verify the customer concern. 2. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is
found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

NOTE: -

Make sure the headlamp switch is in the OFF position.

- Make sure the multifunction switch is in the LOW BEAM position.

3. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

4. NOTE: The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM.

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: -

Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.

- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network), No Power To The Scan Tool, to
diagnose no communication with the scan tool.

5. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

- Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.

- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.

- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to diagnose no response from the
powertrain control module (PCM).

6. Carry out the network test.

- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Information
Bus (Module Communications Network).

- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

7. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the powertrain control
module (PCM), the smart junction box (SJB), and the

instrument cluster.

8. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to Computers and Control Systems or
Body Control Systems (Multifunction Electronic

Control Module).

9. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart. See: Symptom Related
Diagnostic Procedures

Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

NOTE: When installing a new smart junction box (SJB), it must be configured for this feature, if
originally equipped. Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).

The SJB controls the DRL by using various inputs to determine whether or not the DRL should be
illuminated. These inputs include:

- Ignition switch position

- Headlamp switch position

- Headlamps on or off

- Transmission gear selection (automatic transmission)

- Parking brake applied or released (manual transmission)

When the DRL is active, the SJB provides a pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to the low beam
headlamps. This illuminates the headlamps at a reduced intensity.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7613

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7614
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7615

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7633

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7634
Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams shows the current feed circuits. The current path is
shown from the battery to the ignition switch and to all fuses. It also shows the circuits protected by
each fuse. The circuit is traced from the fuse to the component. All details (wires, splices,
connectors) between the fuse and the first component are shown.

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7635

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Troubleshooting wiring harness and connector hidden concerns

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

NOTE: Several components, such as the PCM, utilize gold plated terminals in their connections to
the wiring harness. If those terminals need to be replaced, they must be replaced with a gold plated
terminal.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation

BRAKE PEDAL POSITION (BPP) SWITCH

Typical BPP Switch

The BPP switch is sometimes referred to as the stoplamp switch. The BPP switch provides a signal
to the PCM indicating that the brakes are applied. The BPP switch is normally open and is mounted
on the brake pedal support. Depending on the vehicle application the BPP switch can be hardwired
as follows:

- to the PCM supplying battery positive voltage (B+) when the vehicle brake pedal is applied.

- to the antilock brake system (ABS) module, or lighting control module (LCM), the BPP signal is
then broadcast over the network to be received by the PCM.

- to the ABS traction control/stability assist module. The ABS module interprets the BPP switch
input along with other ABS inputs and generates an output called the driver brake application
(DBA) signal. The DBA signal is then sent to the PCM and to other BPP signal users.

Introduction

Note

All wiring connections between components are shown exactly as they exist in the vehicles. It is
important to realize, however, that no attempt has been made on the diagrams to represent
components and wiring as they physically appear on the vehicle. For example, a 4-foot length of
wire is treated no differency in a diagram from one that is only a few inches long. Furthermore, to
aid in understanding electrical (electronic) operation, wiring inside complicated components has
been simplified.

Complete Circuit Operation

Each circuit is shown completely and independently in one set. Other components that are
connected to the circuits may not be shown unless they influence the circuit operation.

Current Flow (1)

Each set normally starts with the component that powers the circuit, such as a fuse or the ignition
switch. Current flow is shown from the power source at the top of the diagram to ground at the
bottom of the diagram. A full representation of the power supply of a fuse or the power distribution
from a fuse to various components is given in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Full
representation of the ground connections are shown in the Power and Ground Distribution
Diagrams.

Switch Positions (2)

Within a diagram, all switches, sensors and relays are shown "at rest" (ignition switch OFF).

Splices (3)

Splices directly connecting to the power distribution are best represented on the power distribution
diagram in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. Splices connected to grounds can be
seen completely in the Power and Ground Distribution Diagrams. For all other splices, a reference
is given to each off diagram where that particular splice can be best viewed.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7735

Component Referencing (4)

Components on a diagram have a reference to a component location view or the diagram where it
is shown completely. The reference is located to the right of each component.

Component Names (5)

Component names are placed on the right hand side of each component when possible.
Descriptions of the internals of the component are also included when available. The diagram
where the component appears in full is listed in the Index. The base part number for a component
is listed in parentheses next to or under a component.

Internal Name and Function Identification Numbers (6)


Some components on each diagram have internal symbols with an identification number located
within it. You can identify the internal symbol or function by finding the corresponding number
under the component name.

Circuit Numbering and Wire Identification (7)

Ford Motor Company uses three different circuit numbering conventions: Standard Circuit
Numbering System, Global Circuit Numbering System, and New Global Circuit Numbering System
(NGCNS). With each, the circuit number (which identifies a specific circuit function) is followed by
the wire color.

The wire identification consists of a basic color and possibly a stripe, and is determined directly
from the wire's circuit number. In the diagrams, the wire colors are indicated next to the wires. The
colors are abbreviated using the international norm IEC 757. The abbreviations are listed in set 4
"Symbols".

Fuse and Relay Information

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

Power Distribution

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

Ground Distribution

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

Component and Connector Information

C904

Connector Views show the views of the pins and/or cavities of all connectors. The pin and cavity
sides are shown separately as if the connector were

disconnected. The color of the connector housing is indicated next to the connector number when
available. The harness causal number is located above the connector view and below the
connector number. The circuit function charts are located below each connector. The wiring
harness designations are listed in Component Location Charts.

Component Location Views show the components and their connecting wires as they can be found
on the vehicle.

Locations information that can be found at the vehicle level will help the user find where the various
items depicted on the diagram can physically be found on the vehicle. A brief written description of
the location is given, along with a reference to the component location views.

WARNINGS

- Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.


- Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires being under a vehicle.

- Be sure that the IGNITION SWITCH is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.

- Set the parking brake when working on any vehicle. An automatic transmission should be in
PARK. A manual transmission should be in NEUTRAL.

- Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid danger of carbon monoxide.

- Keep away from moving parts, especially the fan and belts, when the engine is running.

- To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.

- Do not allow flame or sparks near the battery. Gases are always present in and around the
battery set. An explosion could occur.

- Do not smoke when working on a vehicle.

- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Installation

WARNING: Do not drive vehicle until the urethane seal has cured. Follow urethane manufacturer's
curing directions. Inadequate or incorrect curing of the urethane seal will adversely affect glass
retention. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
CAUTION: Open the windows to prevent the windshield glass from being pushed out by air
pressure if the doors are closed.

1. Dry fit the windshield glass, making alignment marks with tape or a non-staining grease pencil.

2. WARNING: Repair any corrosion found on the pinch weld. The pinch weld is a structural
component of the vehicle. Corrosion left

unrepaired may reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).

NOTE: Do not scratch the pinch weld area. For minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch
weld, see manufacturer's recommendations.

Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld to within the specification. -

The existing urethane adhesive surface should be smooth and free of cuts and contamination.

3. If reinstalling the original windshield glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive and the
windshield moulding. 4. Clean the inside of the windshield glass surface with glass cleaner making
sure the ceramic-coated area is clean.

5. NOTE:

- Be sure to use the same brand and cure-rate products for the adhesive and primer. Do not mix
different brands of urethane and primer. Refer to the Material Chart.

- Sika uses the same black primer for the glass and pinch weld area.

If installing a new windshield glass, apply urethane glass primer according to manufacturer's
instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.

6. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.

7. NOTE: Use either a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane
with less effort and a continuous bead.

Apply urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld.
Make sure that all gaps in the urethane adhesive are smoothed into one continuous bead starting
and ending at the bottom of the windshield near the center.

8. Install the windshield glass, aligning it to the marks previously made.

9. NOTE: The urethane adhesive must cure for a minimum of one hour before testing for air and
water leaks.

After the urethane adhesive has cured, check for water leaks and add urethane adhesive where
needed.

10. If necessary, remove excess urethane adhesive from the exterior surface of the windshield
glass. 11. Install the cowl panel grille. 12. Reposition the front portion of the headliner. 13. Install
