SERVICE CODES

There are 3 types of service codes retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST: KOEO, KOER and Continuous Memory codes. See QUICK TEST in this article for self-test procedures. Codes may be cleared from ECA memory after they have been recorded or repaired. See CLEARING CODES in this article.

KOEO & KOER CODES (HARD FAULTS)

These codes indicate faults are present at time of testing. See appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) tables for definitions of codes. A hard fault may cause "CHECK ENGINE" or "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light to illuminate and remain on until fault is repaired. If KOEO or KOER codes are retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST or KOER SELF-TEST, use appropriate KOEO SELF-TEST CODES or KOER SELF-TEST CODES chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) to select the correct CIRCUIT TEST for testing and repair.

CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES (SOFT FAULTS)

These codes indicate a fault that may or may not be present at the time of testing, and are used to diagnose intermittent problems. See appropriate charts under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) for definitions of codes. Continuous Memory Codes are retrieved during the KOEO SELF-TEST. Some codes may illuminate the "CHECK ENGINE" or "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light. The corresponding soft trouble code will be retained in the ECA memory. If the fault does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles (80 cycles on some models), ECA will automatically clear the code.

Service codes may be cleared from memory by the technician. See CLEARING CODES in this article. Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article.

CAUTIONContinuous Memory Codes should be recorded when received during KOEO SELF-TEST. These codes may be used to identify intermittent problems that exist after all KOEO and KOER codes have been repaired, and a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) has been obtained in KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. Failure to follow this procedure may result in replacement of non-faulty components and unnecessary testing. Some Continuous Memory Codes faults may not be valid after KOEO and KOER codes are repaired.

RETRIEVING CODES

Service codes are retrieved from the EEC-IV system through the self-test connector. Various methods and test equipment may be used to access these codes. The following test equipment may be used

  1. Analog Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)
  2. "Scan" Tool
  3. STAR Series Tester
  4. In-Dash "CHECK ENGINE" or "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" Light

CLEARING CODES

To clear codes from ECA memory, start KOEO SELF-TEST. When service codes appear on test equipment or "CHECK ENGINE" light, disconnect jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) connector. If using STAR Series Tester, unlatch center button. This procedure erases Continuous Memory Codes from ECA memory. If problem has not been corrected, or fault is still present, hard code will immediately be reset in ECA memory.

CAUTIONDO NOT disconnect vehicle battery to clear codes. This will erase stored operating information from the Keep-Alive Memory (KAM). To clear KAM, disconnect negative battery terminal for a minimum of 5 minutes. If KAM has been cleared, drive vehicle 10 miles or more to allow ECA to relearn operating conditions and driving style of vehicle. Driveability may be affected during relearning cycle.

SEPARATOR PULSE

A single 1/2-second separator pulse is issued 6-9 seconds after last KOEO code. Then 6-9 seconds after the single 1/2-second separator pulse, Continuous Memory Codes (soft faults) are displayed. Some digital test equipment may display the separator code as a 10 instead of a 1.

PASS CODES

A Code 11 or 111 indicates there are no service codes recorded in that portion of the test, and system passes that portion of the test. If Code 11 or 111 is not received in KOEO SELF-TEST, codes received during KOER SELF-TEST may not be valid. It is very important that Code 11 or 111 (pass code) be observed in KOEO SELF-TEST. A Code 11-1-11 or 111-1-111 output during KOEO SELF-TEST indicates there is no KOEO code or Continuous Memory Code recorded. The separator code may appear as a 10 instead of a 1 on some test equipment.

CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES

These codes result from information stored by ECA during continuous self-test monitoring. Codes are displayed in KOEO SELF-TEST, after separator pulse code. Use these codes for diagnosis ONLY when KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST result in Code 11 or 111 (pass code), and all steps under QUICK TEST are successfully completed. (There are few exceptions which may be checked after KOEO codes have been repaired). These codes indicate faults recorded within the last 40 engine starts. The fault may or may not be currently present. See appropriate chart under CODE-TO-TEST MENU(S) for definitions of codes.

FAST CODES

At the start of KOEO SELF-TEST, and after Wide Open Throttle (WOT) request in KOER SELF-TEST, there is an output from the ECA known as Fast Codes. These are short bursts of information used by manufacturer during assembly. With most equipment, these code bursts are not visible; as the entire code sequence lasts less than 1/2 second. If this fluctuation is visible on test equipment, ignore it.

VISUAL CHECK & VEHICLE PREPARATION

Complete all steps in BASIC TESTING article before proceeding to next test step. Ensure vacuum hoses are connected correctly and EEC-IV wiring harnesses are connected.

EQUIPMENT HOOKUP

Apply parking brake, and place shift lever in Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T). Block drive wheels. Turn off all electrical loads. Connect appropriate test equipment to vehicle as follows.

Analog Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)

1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Set VOM at 0-15V DC range, and connect positive lead of VOM to positive battery terminal.

2) Connect negative VOM lead to Self-Test Output (STO) terminal of self-test connector. (Scheme 87) Connect timing light, and go to KOEO SELF-TEST. Activate KOEO SELF-TEST by connecting jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to signal return terminal of self-test connector with ignition on.

"Scan" Tool

Follow manufacturer's instructions to hook up equipment and record service codes.

STAR Series Tester

Turn ignition to OFF position. Connect color-coded adapter cable leads to diagnostic tester. Connect 2 service connectors of adapter cable to vehicle self-test connector and STI pigtail connector. Connect timing light. Go to KOEO SELF-TEST.

"CHECK ENGINE" Or "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" Light (MIL)

With ignition on, connect a jumper wire between Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail and signal return terminal of self-test connector. No additional special equipment hookup is required.

COMPUTED TIMING CHECK

Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Using jumper wire or test equipment, activate KOER SELF-TEST. Start engine and check for the following

  1. If engine starts and stalls, or stalls during self-test, go to TEST S, step 1).
  2. If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, it indicates EEC-IV system is operating in Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM). Vehicle cannot be diagnosed in KOER SELF-TEST; rerun KOEO SELF-TEST.
  3. Check computed timing after the last service code has been displayed. The timing will remain fixed for 2 minutes after the last code has been received, unless self-test is deactivated.
  4. Computed timing, at the crankshaft, should equal the base timing (see vehicle emission decal) plus 20 degrees BTDC. This timing may vary 3 degrees (+/-). If computed timing is within specification, perform KOER SELF-TEST. If timing is not within specification, go to step 2) of TEST PC (vehicles with EDIS), or step 2) of TEST PA (vehicles with TFI).

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

A number of additional diagnostic system features are available to help technicians diagnose driveability problems and test EEC-IV systems.

"CHECK ENGINE"/"SERVICE ENGINE SOON" - Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The MIL is intended to alert driver of certain malfunctions in the EEC-IV system.

The light may also be used to retrieve service codes stored in ECA. When hooked up for KOEO SELF-TEST or KOER SELF-TEST, light will retrieve all codes, not just Continuous Memory Codes which turn on light during vehicle operation.

If the light comes on during vehicle operation, it should be serviced and inspected as soon as possible. It is not necessary to immediately turn off engine; vehicle can still be driven and does not need to be towed.

If the light comes on then goes off while in operation, the code causing light to illuminate will be stored in ECA memory as a Continuous Memory Code.

Light should come on when ignition is turned on and go out when engine is started. If hard fault codes are not present, ECA turns out the light when it receives a Profile Ignition Pick-Up (PIP) signal. If light never comes on, see SYMPTOMS in the TESTS W/O CODES article.

Output State Check

The Output State Check is used as an aid in servicing output actuators associated with EEC-IV system. It allows technicians to energize and de-energize most of the system output actuators on command. This mode is entered from the KOEO SELF-TEST, after all codes have been received. Leave self-test activated and depress throttle to initiate test sequence. Each time throttle is depressed and released, the output actuators will change state (from on to off, or off to on).

Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM), Code 98 or 998

The FMEM mode allows system operation when sensor(s) fails or transmits signals which are out of normal operating range. When this happens, ECA substitutes a mid-range signal for the defective sensor(s) while continuing to monitor the sensor(s). If the faulty sensor's signals return to normal operating range, the ECA will use those signals. A Code 98 or 998 will be displayed when the FMEM mode is in effect.

HOW TO USE CIRCUIT TESTS

Note. A breakout box, connected to vehicle harness at the ECA, is necessary to perform most circuit tests. References to Test Pin No. found in CIRCUIT TEST steps refer to test terminals on the manufacturer's breakout box. Circuit diagrams at the beginning of each test identify circuit and wire colors.

1) Ensure all non-EEC related faults found while performing steps in BASIC TESTING article have been corrected. DO NOT perform any CIRCUIT TEST unless specifically instructed by a QUICK TEST procedure. FOLLOW EACH TEST STEP IN ORDER UNTIL FAULT IS FOUND. DO NOT replace any part unless directed to do so. When more than one code is received, start with the first code displayed.

2) CIRCUIT TESTS check electrical circuits to make sure they are okay before replacing sensors or any other components. Always test circuits for continuity between sensor and ECA. Test all circuits for short to power, opens, or short to ground. Voltage Reference (VREF) and Voltage Power (VPWR) circuits should be tested with KOEO, or as specified in CIRCUIT TESTS.

3) DO NOT measure voltage or resistance at ECA, or connect any test light unless specified in testing procedure. All measurements are made by probing REAR of connector. Isolate both ends of a circuit and turn ignition off whenever checking for shorts or continuity, unless stated otherwise.

4) Disconnect solenoids and switches from harness before measuring continuity, resistance, or applying voltage. After each repair, check all component connections and repeat CIRCUIT TEST.

5) An open circuit is defined as a resistance reading of greater than 5 ohms. This specification tolerance may be too high for some items in the EEC-IV system. If resistance approaches 5 ohms, always clean the suspected connector and coat with protective dielectric silicone grease. A short is defined as a resistance reading of less than 10 k/ohms to ground, unless stated otherwise in the CIRCUIT TEST.

6) On CIRCUIT TEST H and CIRCUIT TEST J (Fuel Control), to prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may also be the cause of problem. These areas include ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires, fouled spark plugs, canister purge problems, EGR valve and gasket, air filter, poor power and ground circuits, fuel pressure, intake and exhaust manifold leaks, engine not at normal operating temperature, and problems with PCV valves or fuel-contaminated engine oil.

Preliminary Instructions (A/T Vehicles)

Record and clear Continuous Memory Codes. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. In Low gear, accelerate hard to 25 MPH and coast down to a stop. Shut off engine. Perform KOEO SELF-TEST. Go to step 1).

Preliminary Instructions (M/T Vehicles)

Record and clear Continuous Memory Codes. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Start in first gear, shift to second gear and accelerate moderately to 40 MPH. Coast down to idle and stop. Shut engine off. Perform KOEO SELF-TEST and record Continuous Memory Codes. Go to step 1).

1) Continuous Memory Code 29/452 Code 29/452 indicates there is insufficient input to ECA from VSS. Possible causes for this code are as follows

  1. Faulty VSS
  2. Faulty ECA
  3. Open or shorted circuit

On all vehicles except 3.0L PFI Aerostar, perform appropriate drive cycle procedure. See PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS (A/T VEHICLES) or PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS (M/T VEHICLES). On 3.0L PFI Aerostar vehicles, ensure driveability complaint can be verified. If Code 29/452 is still present or driveability complaint can be verified (3.0L PFI Aerostar), go to next step. If code is not present or complaint cannot be verified, fault cannot be duplicated at this time. Clear codes and see INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.

2) Check VSS Circuit Continuity Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Remove ECA 60-pin connector and inspect for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Repair as necessary. Install breakout box. With ECA and VSS disconnected, set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 3 at breakout box and VSS DIF (+) circuit at VSS vehicle harness connector. Also measure resistance between test pin No. 6 at breakout box and VSS DIF (-) circuit vehicle harness connector. If both readings are 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If readings are 5 ohms or more, service open circuit in VSS wiring harness. After repairs, reconnect all components and repeat step 1).

Checking VSS Circuits. Scheme 89

Scheme 89: Checking VSS Circuits

3) Check VSS Circuits For Shorts To Power Or Ground Turn ignition off. With ECA and VSS disconnected, install breakout box. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 3 and test pins No. 37, 40 and 6. If all readings are greater than 500 ohms, remove breakout box and reconnect components; go to step 4). If any reading is less than 500 ohms, repair short(s) in VSS wiring harness and reconnect components. After repairs, repeat step 1).

4) Checking VSS Resistance Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect VSS. Set DVOM on 2-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance across vehicle speed sensor. If reading is 190-250 ohms, replace ECA. Remove breakout box, reconnect components and repeat step 1). If reading is NOT 190-250 ohms, replace vehicle speed sensor and repeat appropriate drive cycle procedure.

4.0L SPFI-MA TEST PIN WIRE COLOR I.D.

To prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may be at fault: excessive blow-by, PCV malfunction, vacuum leak, fuel pressure or throttle linkage sticking or binding.

1) Throttle Position Sensor Integrity Code 121 indicates TPS is inconsistent with MAF value. Code 124 indicates TPS value is higher than expected. Code 125 indicates TPS value is lower than expected.

Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Install breakout box and connect ECA. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Connect DVOM to test pins No. 47 and 46. Operate throttle slowly to WOT, and slowly release to closed position. See TEST DH for schematics and specific engine values. If there are any sudden voltage variations, ensure TPS is properly installed on throttle body. If TPS is properly installed, replace TPS; remove breakout box, reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST. If there are no sudden voltage variations, go to step 6) (for a Continuous Code 121), or go to next step (all other codes).

2) Check Throttle Body Check throttle and/or speed control linkage for binding and smooth operation. Inspect throttle body for contamination. Check engine vacuum hoses. Refer to VECI decal for proper vacuum hose routing. Check for air leak between ISC solenoid and MAF sensor. If all checks reveal no problems, go to next step. If problems are found, repair as necessary; remove breakout box, reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST.

3) Check MAP/BP Sensor Output Refer to TEST DF for schematic. With MAP/BP tester connected and ignition on, measure sensor output voltage. If voltage output is within range at specific altitude, remove MAP/BP tester and go to next step. See MAP SENSOR VOLTAGE OUTPUT table for specification. If output reading is outside range, replace MAP/BP sensor; remove tester, reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST.

4.0L SPFI-MA TEST PIN WIRE COLOR I.D.

1) No Fuel Pump Pressure: Check Fuel Pump Electrical Operation Turn ignition from OFF to RUN position several times (DO NOT turn to START position). If fuel pumps run briefly each time ignition is turned to RUN position, fuel pump circuit is okay. If fuel pumps do not run, go to next step.

2) Check For VPWR To ECA With ignition off, install breakout box and reconnect ECA. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. Measure voltage between test pins No. 37 and 40 at breakout box. Measure voltage between test pins No. 57 and 60 at breakout box. If both voltage readings are greater than 10.5 volts, go to step 3). If voltage is not greater than 10.5 volts, go to TEST B, step 1).

3) Check Voltage To POWER-TO-PUMP(s) Circuit With Key On Engine Off (KOEO), breakout box installed and ECA connected, set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between chassis ground and POWER-to-PUMP circuit at fuel pump relay while cranking engine. If reading is less than 8 volts, go to next step. If reading is 8 volts or more, check the following: open in POWER-to-PUMP circuit, open in fuel pump, and open fuel pump ground circuit.

4) Checking BATT (+) Circuit To Fuel Pump Relay Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. Leave breakout box installed and ECA connected. Locate fuel pump relay. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between chassis ground and BATT (+) circuit at fuel pump relay. If reading is less than 10.5 volts, repair open in BATT (+) circuit between fuel pump relay and battery positive post. Repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is 10.5 volts or greater, go to next step.

5) Check Voltage At POWER-TO-PUMP(s) Circuit With ignition off, breakout box installed and ECA connected, set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Connect jumper wire from test pin No. 22 to test pin No. 40 or 60 at breakout box. Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. Measure voltage between chassis ground and POWER-to-PUMP circuit at fuel pump relay. If voltage is greater than 10.5 volts, replace ECA. Remove breakout box and rerun QUICK TEST. If voltage is less than 10.5 volts, replace fuel pump relay. Remove breakout box, reconnect ECA and rerun QUICK TEST.

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 5) to step 7). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.

7) Code 87/556: Checking VPWR Circuit To Fuel Pump Relay Code 87/556 indicates a fuel pump primary circuit failure. Possible causes for this fault are as follows

  1. Inertia switch not reset or electrically open
  2. Faulty ECA
  3. Open or shorted circuit
  4. Faulty fuel pump relay

Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Disconnect fuel pump relay. Measure voltage between chassis ground and VPWR circuit at the fuel pump relay. If reading is 10.5 volts or more, go to next step. If reading is less than 10.5 volts, ensure inertia switch is on. If inertia switch will not reset, replace switch. If switch is okay, repair open in VPWR circuit between the EEC power relay and the fuel pump relay. Reconnect fuel pump relay and repeat QUICK TEST.

8) Check Fuel Pump Relay Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect fuel pump relay. With DVOM on 200-ohm scale, measure resistance between VPWR pin and Fuel Pump circuit pin at fuel pump relay. Resistance should be 40-85 ohms.

Set DVOM to 20-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between Fuel Pump circuit pin and both POWER-to-PUMP and BATT (+) pins at fuel pump relay. Both resistances should be greater than 10 k/ohms. If all resistances are as specified, go to next step. If resistances are not as specified, replace fuel pump relay and rerun QUICK TEST.

Fuel Pump Relay Connector. Scheme 90

Scheme 90: Fuel Pump Relay Connector

9) Check For Short To Power With ignition off, disconnect 60-pin ECA connector and fuel pump relay. Install breakout box and leave ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between test pin No. 22 and battery negative terminal. If voltage is less than one volt, go to next step. If voltage is not less than one volt, repair short circuit. Reconnect ECA and attempt to start vehicle. If vehicle fails to start, replace ECA. Rerun QUICK TEST.

10) Check For Shorts To Ground Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Leave breakout box installed and ECA disconnected. Disconnect fuel pump relay. With DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale, measure resistance between test pin No. 22 and test pins No. 40 and 60. If reading is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short in FUEL PUMP circuit. Remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is 10 k/ohms or more, go to next step.

11) Check Fuel Pump Circuit Continuity Turn ignition off. Leave breakout box installed and ECA disconnected. Set DVOM to 200-ohm scale. Disconnect fuel pump relay. Measure resistance between fuel pump circuit at fuel pump relay vehicle harness connector and test pin No. 22 at breakout box. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace ECA. Reconnect fuel pump relay and rerun QUICK TEST. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open circuit. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST.

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 11) to step 20). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.

20) Code 95/542: Does Engine Start? A KOEO Code 95/542 indicates one of the following conditions has occurred

No Starts

  1. Inertia switch not reset or electrically open
  2. Open circuit in or between ECA and fuel pump
  3. Faulty ground connection at fuel pump

Vehicle Starts

  1. Fuel pump secondary circuit shorted to power
  2. Fuel pump relay contacts always closed
  3. Open in Fuel Pump Monitor (FPM) circuit between ECA and connection to POWER-to-PUMP circuit
  4. HEGO short to power (dual HEGO applications)
  5. Faulty ECA
