Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation
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.

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

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.
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).
- 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.

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.

Engine Control Module: Procedures
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.
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.
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.

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.

connector into position on the restraints control module (RCM) before using the lever to fully seat
the connector. Failure to follow these instructions may result in component damage and/or system
failure.
With the large RCM electrical connector uniformly aligned to the RCM, lightly push in until a subtle
audible click is heard and slight resistance is felt.
- Pivot the connector position assurance lever toward the RCM, drawing the connector in to the
RCM. -
Make sure the thumb tab is engaged to the retainer on the RCM and locked in place.
5. Connect the small RCM electrical connector. 6. Position back the carpet on the LH and RH
tunnel to its original position. 7. Install the lower LH center instrument panel finish panel.
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.
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.

Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. 2. Remove the pin-type retainer, 5 bolts and
the RH lower splash shield.
3. NOTE: Lubricate the engine oil filter gasket with clean engine oil prior to installing.
To install, tighten to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) and then rotate an additional 180 degrees.
4. Disconnect the engine oil pressure (EOP) switch electrical connector. 5. Remove the EOP
switch.
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.
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.

1. CAUTION: Only position the instrument cluster finish panel away from the instrument panel
enough to detach the in-vehicle
temperature sensor without stressing the attached components. If the instrument cluster finish
panel is positioned too far away from the instrument panel, damage to the wire harness or
instrument cluster finish panel could result.
Detach the instrument cluster finish panel and position it away from the instrument panel to allow
access to the in-vehicle temperature sensor.
2. Release the 2 clips and detach the in-vehicle temperature sensor or in-vehicle temperature and
humidity sensor. 3. Disconnect the in-vehicle temperature sensor or in-vehicle temperature and
humidity sensor electrical connector. 4. Detach the aspirator hose from the venturi at the heater
core and evaporator core housing. 5. Detach the aspirator hose from the instrument panel. 6.
Remove the in-vehicle temperature sensor or in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor.
7. NOTE: The venturi must be aligned correctly with the heater core and evaporator core housing
for installation. When installing the venturi, it
must be pressed into the heater core and evaporator core housing until an audible click is heard to
indicated that it is correctly attached.

Component Information > Locations > Page 432
Remove the venturi (if needed).
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.

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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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

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.
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

The KS is a tuned accelerometer on the engine which converts engine vibration to an electrical

and Operation
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
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.

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.
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: -
1. Disconnect the throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connector. 2. Remove the 2 screws and
the TP 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.
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.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
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.

Operation
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.
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.
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.

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

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
Owner's Literature, Roadside Emergencies for the location of the IFS switch.

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.

system at this time.
10. 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: -
Make sure the seat is completely assembled before carrying out the occupant classification sensor
(OCS) System Reset active command. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect
operation of the OCS system and may cause system failure.
- The following precautions must be taken before carrying out the occupant classification sensor
(OCS) System Reset. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the
OCS system and may cause system failure. -
Make sure the OCS system components are connected and no faults are present.
- Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°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, 0°C to
45°C (32°F to 113°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: -
For best results in carrying out the OCS system reset process, the OCS system should be at or
near room temperature, 10°C to 29°C (50°F to 85°F).
- If the first attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful and DTC C1941 is reported,
a second attempt must be made. If on the second attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is
unsuccessful and DTC C1941 is reported a second time, a new OCS system service kit must be
installed.
With the front passenger seat empty, use a scan tool to trigger the active command.
11. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.
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.
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 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 RCM and OCS module DTCs using a scan tool.
12. NOTE: When installing a new OCS, a prepaid return postcard is provided with the new OCS.
The serial number for the new part and the vehicle
identification number (VIN) must be recorded and sent to Ford Motor Company.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Description and Operation
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.

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
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.
Toe
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 947
Positive Toe (Toe In)
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.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to
Maintenance/Service and Repair. 2. Remove the 4 front strut upper mounting bracket nuts.
3. Push the front strut mounting bracket downward and turn it to the desired position to set the
camber and caster. Both camber and caster for the
front suspension are adjustable. For additional information, refer to Steps 4 and 5.
Use the following table for LH side camber and or caster adjustment.

1. NOTE: The upper intake manifold must be removed to access the RH spark plugs only.
3. NOTE: When removing the ignition coil-on-plugs, a slight twisting motion will break the seal and
ease removal.
NOTE: Use compressed air to remove any foreign material in the spark plug well before removing
the spark plugs.
Installation
3. CAUTION: Only use hand tools when removing or installing the spark plugs, or damage can
occur to the cylinder head or spark plug.
4. NOTE: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the inside of the ignition coil boots before
attaching to the spark plugs.
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
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.

The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
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.
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.

Belt Tensioner With Belt Length Indicator
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.
6. Check the belt for cracks. Up to 15 cracks in a rib over a distance of 100 mm (4.0 in) can be
considered acceptable. If cracks exceed this standard,
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
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.

8. There should be no chunks missing from the belt ribs. If the belt shows any evidence of this,
install a new accessory drive belt. 9. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and
GO to Symptom Chart. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

Symptom Chart
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Fuse Block: 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.
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.
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 > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1182
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 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.
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/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.
C904

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.
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.
^ 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.
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.

Information > Description and Operation
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: -
- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).
- 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.

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 Sensor: Testing and Inspection 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
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

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
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.
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
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.
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.
^ 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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.

- 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.
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.
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

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 indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
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.

The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
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.
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.

Belt Tensioner With Belt Length Indicator
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.

Symptom Chart
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

ISSUE Some 2008 Escape and Mariner vehicles may exhibit engine oil leaking from the dipstick
tube or the front or rear crankshaft seals. This condition is likely due to positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) freezing when the ambient temperature is below -30 °C (-20 °F), allowing engine
crankcase pressure to build up.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Perform oil leak diagnostics as outlined in Workshop Manual, Section 303-00. With a blacklight,
inspect for leaks at the oil dipstick tube and at the front and rear crank seals.
2. If leaks are verified, order and install heated PCV kit. Replace PCV components as directed per
the instruction sheet included in the kit.

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.
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 > Component Information > Description and Operation
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.
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

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.

Radiator Cooling Fan 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.
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.
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
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 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.
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/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.

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

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.
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).
2.0L Focus (With A/C): 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.

Speed Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation
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.
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Fan Clutch >
Component Information > Description and Operation
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Control Module > Component Information > Description
and Operation
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.
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).
- 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.

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.

Engine Control Module: Procedures
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

and Operation
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
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.

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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

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
Owner's Literature, Roadside Emergencies for the location of the IFS switch.

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.

The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is at least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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
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.
The IAT provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature
information as a correction factor in the calculation of
Ford Escape 4wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.0L (2008))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor >
Component Information > Locations > Page 2249
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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).
- 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.

ETC System With A 2-Track APP Sensor Failure Mode And Effects Management
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.

Engine Control Module: Procedures
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.
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.
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.

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
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.

1. Disconnect the idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector. 2. Remove the 2 bolts and the
IAC valve and discard the gasket.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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/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.

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.

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.

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.
- ISO 9141
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.
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: -
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
- Instrument cluster
The HS-CAN is a high speed communication network used for the following modules: -
ABS module
- Instrument cluster
- PCM
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.
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.

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.
- ISO 9141
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:
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.

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.

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.
- Programmable parameters
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
Reprogramming a module with the same level of software will not improve module operation or
repair a hardware failure.
NOTE: -
- 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.
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.
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:

Component Information > Description and Operation
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: -
- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).
- 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.

> Component Information > Description and Operation
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
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.

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.
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).
- 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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Locations > Page 2593
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.
Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

timing.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
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.

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.
Typical TP Sensor
The TP sensor is a rotary potentiometer sensor that provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.

The orifice tube assembly is a section of tubing connecting the exhaust system to the intake
manifold. The assembly provides the flow path for the EGR to the intake manifold and also
contains the metering orifice and 2 pressure pick-up tubes. The internal metering orifice creates a
measurable pressure drop across it as the EGR valve opens and closes. This pressure differential
across the orifice is picked up by the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor which provides
feedback to the PCM.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation
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).
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.
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.

Pressure Feedback Exhaust Sensor: Description and Operation
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.

WARNING: Keep the sliding inner cable of the accelerator cable, the accelerator pedal and the
pedal shaft free of contact with surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulation
and floor carpeting. Contact in these areas may prevent movement of the accelerator cable,
reducing the ability to decelerate the vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury to the vehicle occupant(s).
NOTE: The accelerator pedal and shaft should travel smoothly from idle to wide-open throttle
positions. Hesitation on return or prevention of return to the idle position must not occur.
1. Remove the accelerator cable from the accelerator pedal. 2. Remove the 2 bolts and the
accelerator pedal and shaft assembly.
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.
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.
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.

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

1. Disconnect the mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical connector. 2. Remove the 2 screws and

The check fuel cap indicator is a communications network message sent by the PCM. The PCM
sends the message to illuminate the lamp when the strategy determines there is a concern in the
EVAP system due to the fuel filler cap or capless fuel tank filler pipe not being sealed correctly.
This would be detected by the inability to pull vacuum in the fuel tank, after a fueling event.

FUEL INJECTORS
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.

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 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 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
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.
- no touch start
1. Disconnect the idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector. 2. Remove the 2 bolts and the

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
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.
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.
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.

Diagram Of Air Flow Through Throttle Body Contacting MAF Sensor Hot And Cold Wire (and IAT
Sensor Wire Where Applicable) Terminals
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.

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.

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
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
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.

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

and Operation
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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/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.

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

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.
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

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: Testing and Inspection 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 Line Pressure Test. Refer to Special Testing Procedures. See: Transmission Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Line Pressure Test
See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Special Testing Procedures
^ Carry out Stall Speed Test. Refer to Special Testing Procedures. See: Transmission Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics See: Transmission
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Special
Testing Procedures
^ Carry out Diagnosis by Symptom Routines. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. See: Transmission
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Diagnostic
Routines See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic
Procedures/Diagnosis By Symptom -
Use the index to locate the appropriate routine that best describes the symptom(s). The routine will
list all possible components that may cause or contribute to the symptom. Check each component
listed, diagnose and repair as required, before repairing the torque converter.
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
the vehicle does not stall in manual 1, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom. See: Transmission Control

Torque Converter: Testing and Inspection Torque Converter Contamination Inspection
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
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
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.

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.
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

transmission fluid cooler lines for
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
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.
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.

2. CAUTION: Do not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) of air pressure when flushing the cooler or damage
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.
Using compressed air, blow through the coolers until all fluid is removed.

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.
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.
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.

Interlock, CVT > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3607
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 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.
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/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.

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

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.
^ 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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors
and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Description and Operation
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.

Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and Switches - A/T > Brake Switch - TCC > Component Information > Description
and Operation
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.

Description and Operation
The TCS signals the PCM with VPWR whenever the TCS is pressed. On vehicles with this feature,
the transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) illuminates when the TCS is cycled to disengage
overdrive.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection 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
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.

Brake Booster
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.
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 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.

Brake Booster
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose/check valve assembly from the brake booster. 2. Remove and
discard the 2 master cylinder nuts.
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.
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
NOTE: Remove the clevis-locking pin by squeezing the locking tabs and pulling outward on the
opposite end.
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.
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.
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.

Fuse Block: 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.
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.
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 > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4463
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 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.
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/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 > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4464
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.
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

> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4465
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
- 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.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
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.
1 = Locked terminal
2 = Male half
3 = Female half
4 = Seal
5 = Intermittent contact
7 = Seal
Check for unlocked terminal by pulling each wire at the end of the connector.

4. Select appropriate wire splice for the wires to be spliced. 5. Identify the appropriate crimping
chamber on the Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper by matching the wire size on the dies with the
wire size
NOTE: Rotunda 164-R5901 Pro-Crimper is the only tool that can be used with these splices.
6. Center one end of the wire splice in the appropriate crimping chamber. 7. If visible, be sure to
place the brazed seam toward the indenter. 8. Insert stripped wire into the barrel. 9. Holding the
wire in place, barrel squeeze tool handles appropriate ratchet releases.
10. Repeating steps 5-7, crimp the other half of the splice.
a. Crimp should be centered on each end of the butt splice b. Wire insulation does not enter butt
splice. c. Wire is visible through inspection hole of splices.
12. Evenly position supplied heat shrink tubing over wire repair. 13. Use shielded heat gun to heat
the repaired area until adhesive flows out of both ends of the heat shrink tubing. 14. Reconnect

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

Fuse Block: 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.
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.
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
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 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.
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/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.
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))

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

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
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.

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

Alignment: Description and Operation
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.
Toe

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 4769
Positive Toe (Toe In)
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 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.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to
Maintenance/Service and Repair. 2. Remove the 4 front strut upper mounting bracket nuts.
3. Push the front strut mounting bracket downward and turn it to the desired position to set the
camber and caster. Both camber and caster for the
front suspension are adjustable. For additional information, refer to Steps 4 and 5.
Use the following table for LH side camber and or caster adjustment.

Use the following table for the RH side camber and or caster adjustment.
7. Recalibrate the steering wheel position sensor. For additional information, refer to Diagnosis and
Testing for steering wheel position sensor
1. Start the engine and center the steering wheel. 2. Turn the engine off. Hold the steering wheel in
the straight-ahead position using a suitable holding device. 3. Check the toe settings following the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
4. NOTE: Do not allow the steering gear bellows to twist when the front wheel spindle tie rod is
rotated.
^ Clean and lubricate the nut(s) and front wheel spindle tie-rod threads.
6. Rotate the front wheel spindle tie rods to increase or decrease the front toe.
7. CAUTION: Hold the tie-rod end stationary with a wrench while tightening the nut, or damage to
the boot can occur.
NOTE: Do not disturb the toe settings while tightening the nut(s).
10. Calibrate the steering wheel position sensor. For additional information, refer to Steering Wheel
Position Sensor Calibration in Diagnosis and
NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle is positioned on a flat, level surface and the tires are inflated to
the correct pressure. Vehicle should have a full tank of fuel.
1. Position a suitable surface gauge (such as Starrett 57D Surface Gauge), on a flat, level surface
and adjust the gauge's arm until the scriber point is

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Description and Operation
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.
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
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
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press

(180 degrees) from the valve stem and press and
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.
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
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Ball Joint > Component Information > Specifications
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.
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
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.

Inspection
TSB 09-5-1
03/23/09
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.
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.

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.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
^ 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.
NOTE
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)

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 Sensor: Testing and Inspection 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

Disassembly
WARNING: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor battery may release hazardous
chemicals if exposed to extreme mechanical damage. If these chemicals contact the skin or eyes,
flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If any
part of the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. When disposing of TPMS
sensors, follow the correct procedures for hazardous material disposal. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Tire pressure sensors are equipped with Lithium-ion batteries and must be disposed of
accordingly.
NOTE: Tire pressure sensors are manufactured in multiple colors based on their application. When
installing a new sensor, make sure the color of the sensor being installed matches the color of the
sensor that was removed. The different colored sensors are not interchangeable.
NOTE: The sensor is available separately, the cradle and strap are available as a strap kit. There
are several different strap kits available based on wheel diameter but all strap kits share the same
base part number.
1. Remove the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor. For additional information, refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor.
2. WARNING: Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.

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

10. Measure and adjust the clutch air gap by removing or adding A/C clutch disc and hub spacers.
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
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: Description and Operation
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
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.

- 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.

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.

Expansion Block/Orifice Tube: Description and Operation
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
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.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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.
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
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.
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.

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.

1. CAUTION: Only position the instrument cluster finish panel away from the instrument panel
enough to detach the in-vehicle
temperature sensor without stressing the attached components. If the instrument cluster finish
panel is positioned too far away from the instrument panel, damage to the wire harness or
instrument cluster finish panel could result.
Detach the instrument cluster finish panel and position it away from the instrument panel to allow
access to the in-vehicle temperature sensor.

humidity sensor. 3. Disconnect the in-vehicle temperature sensor or in-vehicle temperature and
humidity sensor electrical connector. 4. Detach the aspirator hose from the venturi at the heater
core and evaporator core housing. 5. Detach the aspirator hose from the instrument panel. 6.
Remove the in-vehicle temperature sensor or in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor.
7. NOTE: The venturi must be aligned correctly with the heater core and evaporator core housing
for installation. When installing the venturi, it
must be pressed into the heater core and evaporator core housing until an audible click is heard to
indicated that it is correctly attached.

Switch > Component Information > Locations > Page 5618
Remove the venturi (if needed).
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.

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
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.
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
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.
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 Port HVAC: Description and Operation
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.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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
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.
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.

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.

8. Install the front passenger seat into the vehicle. 9. Repower the SRS. Do not prove out the
system at this time.
10. 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: -
Make sure the seat is completely assembled before carrying out the occupant classification sensor
(OCS) System Reset active command. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect
operation of the OCS system and may cause system failure.
- The following precautions must be taken before carrying out the occupant classification sensor
(OCS) System Reset. Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect operation of the
OCS system and may cause system failure. -
Make sure the OCS system components are connected and no faults are present.
- Make sure the OCS system is not at a temperature below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°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, 0°C to
45°C (32°F to 113°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: -
For best results in carrying out the OCS system reset process, the OCS system should be at or
near room temperature, 10°C to 29°C (50°F to 85°F).
- If the first attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is unsuccessful and DTC C1941 is reported,
a second attempt must be made. If on the second attempt to carry out the OCS system reset is
unsuccessful and DTC C1941 is reported a second time, a new OCS system service kit must be
installed.
With the front passenger seat empty, use a scan tool to trigger the active command.
11. NOTE: The ignition switch must be cycled after the OCS system reset.
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.
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 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 RCM and OCS module DTCs using a scan tool.
12. NOTE: When installing a new OCS, a prepaid return postcard is provided with the new OCS.
The serial number for the new part and the vehicle
identification number (VIN) must be recorded and sent to Ford Motor Company.
Fill out the necessary information on the OCS traceability card and return it along with the complete
inoperative OCS to Ford Motor Company. -
When returning the inoperative OCS, include the following: seat cushion foam pad, bladder,
electronic control unit, pressure sensor (transducer), hose, electrical connectors and wire harness
(service part OCS only).

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation
The message center is a fixed format vacuum fluorescent display, integrated into the instrument
cluster. The message center functions are controlled by the message center switches. The
message center displays important vehicle information by constantly monitoring different vehicle
systems. The message center informs the driver of vehicle operations and notifies the driver of
potential vehicle problems by displaying a warning message pertaining to the system in which a
fault has been detected.
- Information displays
- Setup displays
- INFO
- SETUP
- RESET
Information Displays
The information displays are non-timed modes. The selected mode remains on until the driver
presses a message center button to change the mode or it is overridden by another mode.
Odometer
- Trip odometer A or B
- Blank display
Setup Displays
The setup (SETUP button) displays are timed modes and terminate after a finite interval. As part of
the setup menu, the message center has the capability to configure items such as units (English or
metric), autolamp delay, to enable/disable a variety of options such as autolock and auto-unlock, or
to carry out calibrations/settings on items such as oil life.
On configurable items such as autolock and auto-unlock, the message center indicates the
appropriate selection (ON/OFF) by bracketing the selection. For example, if the driver selects the
autolock feature on, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK [ON] OFF. If the driver
selects the autolock off, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK AID ON [OFF].
The setup display modes are: -
- System check
- Units English/metric
- Language
The oil life is displayed in percent and is preset to a maximum of approximately 12,000 km (7,500
miles) or 180 days. The oil life start value is used to increase or decrease the starting point of the
oil life. The value can be changed back to the maximum of approximately 12,000 km (7,500 miles)
if the value was previously changed or to lower the value by 10% increments down to 10%.
System Check
The system check provides a check of all the monitored systems on the vehicle. The system check
scrolls through each of the monitored systems and provides a visual indication to report out the
status of each system. The message center displays OK for approximately 2 seconds if the system
check does not detect a fault in the system and displays a warning message for approximately 2
seconds if the system check detects a fault in the system. Press the RESET button to scroll
through the system check messages.
The system warning messages alert the operator to possible problems or malfunctions in the
vehicle operating systems. The message center displays the last selected feature if there are no
additional warning messages. Once a warning message has been displayed, the message must be
acknowledged to allow full functionality of the message center. Press the RESET to acknowledge
and clear the warning message. The warning messages are divided into 3 basic categories: -
- Reappears if the condition clears then reoccurs within the same ignition ON-OFF cycle.
When a condition exists, the warning messages that are displayed whenever the ignition switch is
turned from the OFF position to the ON position are: -
LIFTGATE/GLASS AJAR
The message center displays warning messages that indicate a system state during repair
procedures related to the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The displayed messages are as
follows: -
TRAIN LF TIRE
- TRAIN RF TIRE
- TRAIN LR TIRE
- TRAIN RR TIRE
- TRAINING COMPLETE
1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical
damage.
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.
- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network), No Power To The Scan Tool, to
diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
- Refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network) to diagnose no response from the
PCM.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

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).
- Instrument cluster
A1-A3
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).

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).

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.

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

Trailer Connector: 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.
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.
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 > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6167
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 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.
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/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.
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
- 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.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Trailer Connector: 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.
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.
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 > Trailer Connector > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6217
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 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.
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/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.
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
- 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.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

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

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
- SJB/GEM

FRAME ASSEMBLY
Front Subframe
Rear Subframe
- 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.
- Follow equipment manufacturer's prescribed procedures and equipment settings for the type of
weld being used.
- 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.
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.

Passenger Seat
11. 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.
All seats
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.
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 diagnosed and repaired.
Clear all continuous RCM and OCSM DTCs using a scan tool.

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.
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.
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 > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 6951
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 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.
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/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.
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
- 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.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

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.
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.

Operation
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.
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.
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 > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7178
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 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.
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/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.
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
- 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.
- 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.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation
The message center is a fixed format vacuum fluorescent display, integrated into the instrument
cluster. The message center functions are controlled by the message center switches. The
message center displays important vehicle information by constantly monitoring different vehicle
systems. The message center informs the driver of vehicle operations and notifies the driver of
potential vehicle problems by displaying a warning message pertaining to the system in which a
fault has been detected.
- Information displays
- Setup displays
- INFO
- SETUP
- RESET
Information Displays
The information displays are non-timed modes. The selected mode remains on until the driver
presses a message center button to change the mode or it is overridden by another mode.
Odometer
- Trip odometer A or B
- Blank display
Setup Displays
The setup (SETUP button) displays are timed modes and terminate after a finite interval. As part of
the setup menu, the message center has the capability to configure items such as units (English or
metric), autolamp delay, to enable/disable a variety of options such as autolock and auto-unlock, or
to carry out calibrations/settings on items such as oil life.
On configurable items such as autolock and auto-unlock, the message center indicates the
appropriate selection (ON/OFF) by bracketing the selection. For example, if the driver selects the
autolock feature on, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK [ON] OFF. If the driver
selects the autolock off, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK AID ON [OFF].
The setup display modes are: -
- System check
- Units English/metric
- Language
The oil life is displayed in percent and is preset to a maximum of approximately 12,000 km (7,500
miles) or 180 days. The oil life start value is used to increase or decrease the starting point of the
oil life. The value can be changed back to the maximum of approximately 12,000 km (7,500 miles)
if the value was previously changed or to lower the value by 10% increments down to 10%.
System Check
The system check provides a check of all the monitored systems on the vehicle. The system check
scrolls through each of the monitored systems and provides a visual indication to report out the
status of each system. The message center displays OK for approximately 2 seconds if the system
check does not detect a fault in the system and displays a warning message for approximately 2
seconds if the system check detects a fault in the system. Press the RESET button to scroll
through the system check messages.
The system warning messages alert the operator to possible problems or malfunctions in the
vehicle operating systems. The message center displays the last selected feature if there are no
additional warning messages. Once a warning message has been displayed, the message must be
acknowledged to allow full functionality of the message center. Press the RESET to acknowledge
and clear the warning message. The warning messages are divided into 3 basic categories: -
- Reappears if the condition clears then reoccurs within the same ignition ON-OFF cycle.
When a condition exists, the warning messages that are displayed whenever the ignition switch is
turned from the OFF position to the ON position are: -
LIFTGATE/GLASS AJAR
The message center displays warning messages that indicate a system state during repair
procedures related to the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The displayed messages are as
follows: -
TRAIN LF TIRE
- TRAIN RF TIRE
- TRAIN LR TIRE
- TRAIN RR TIRE
- TRAINING COMPLETE
1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical
damage.
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.

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
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.
- 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.
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

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).
- Instrument cluster
A1-A3
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).

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).

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.

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.
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.
^ 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.
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
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.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Malfunction Indicator Lamp > Component
Information > Description and Operation
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: -
- the PCM does not send a control message to the instrument cluster (applications with the MIL
controlled through the communication link).
- 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 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.

Information > Description and Operation
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.

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.
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.
^ 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.
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
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
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
Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press

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
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.
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
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.

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

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.
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.

Normal Operation
The stoplamp switch is supplied voltage through circuit SBP02 (YE/RD) from the smart junction box
(SJB). When the brake pedal is applied, the stoplamp switch routes voltage back to the smart
junction box (SJB) and the high mounted stoplamp through circuit CCB08 (VT/WH). The SJB
provides voltage to the rear lamps when it receives input from the stoplamp switch indicating that
the brake pedal is applied.

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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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/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.

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
- 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
- Battery saver
- Interior mode
- Interior lighting
- 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 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.

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.
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.
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 > Daytime Running Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7550
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 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.
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/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.
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
- 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.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

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:
- Headlamps on or off
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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/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.
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
- 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.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

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.
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.
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 > Tail Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 7735
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 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.
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/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.
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
- 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.
- To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry and avoid wearing lose
clothing.

Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The trailer lamps are supplied power by the trailer tow park lamp relay, the LH trailer tow stop/turn
relay and the RH trailer tow stop/turn relay and are energized to correspond with the exterior
lighting functions of the vehicle. A common ground is provided to the trailer tow connector for the
trailer lamps.
1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Verify the exterior lighting system of the vehicle is operating
correctly. If not, refer to the appropriate pinpoint test. 3. Visually inspect for obvious signs of
electrical damage.
