DIAGNOSIS & TESTING

Note. A number of tests or steps may have been deleted from some of the procedures. This is to eliminate testing which does not apply. Some graphics and tables may include others.

DIAGNOSTIC FORMATS

There are 2 diagnostic formats used to test and service the EEC-IV system: QUICK TEST and CIRCUIT TESTS. A DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM chart is available to identify specific problems and reference specific CIRCUIT TESTS, if no Key On Engine Off (KOEO) or Key On Engine Running (KOER) fault code is identified.

Always start with the QUICK TEST procedures before attempting any CIRCUITS TESTS. The QUICK TEST procedure is designed to allow the technician to identify problems and retrieve service codes. The CIRCUIT TESTS give procedures for testing circuits and checking sensors and actuators. If a vehicle passes the QUICK TEST procedures, and there are no driveability problems, the EEC-IV system is okay. Problem exists somewhere else besides the EEC-IV system. If an intermittent driveability problem exists, use the KOER "Wiggle" Test procedure to set a code or identify the problem.

KOEO and KOER SELF-TEST Codes

Note. For codes display methods refer to illustrations (Scheme 215)- (Scheme 218) under CODE FORMAT DIAGRAMS.

All service codes are 2 digit numbers which are generated one digit at a time. These codes indicate a current fault in the system. They should be serviced in the order in which they appear. Use the appropriate code chart to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST. Codes are shown as voltage pulses (needle sweeps) on an analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM).

If a VOM is being used, pay careful attention to the length of the pauses in order to read the codes correctly. There will be a 1/2 second pause between the number of sweeps indicating a digit and a 2 second pause between each digit in a code. There will be a 4 second pause between each code. The KOEO SELF-TEST memory codes are separated from the Continuous Memory codes by a 6 second delay, a single 1/2 second sweep (Separator), and another 6 second delay. Always record the codes in the order received.

If a scan tool diagnostic tester is used, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. The STAR tester will add a zero (0) to single digit Separator (10) and Dynamic Response (10) codes. The Dynamic Response code is displayed in the KOER SELF-TEST.

If the "CHECK ENGINE" light is used, service codes will be displayed as flashes. On Continental models, the "MESSAGE CENTER" may be used to display codes.

Separator Pulse

A single 1/2 second separator pulse is issued 6-9 seconds after last functional KOEO Self-Test code. Then 6-9 seconds after the single 1/2 second separator pulse, the continuous memory codes will be displayed.

Continuous Memory Codes

These codes are issued as a result of information stored by the ECA during continuous self test monitoring. These codes are displayed during the KOEO SELF-TEST after the separator pulse code. These codes should be used for diagnosis, ONLY when KOEO and KOER SELF-TEST results in a Code 11 (pass code) and all QUICK TEST steps have been successfully completed. There are a few exceptions which may be checked after the KOEO SELF-TEST codes have been repaired. These codes indicate a fault that has been recorded within the last 40 key starts. The fault may or may not be currently present.

Fast Codes

At the start of the KOEO testing and after the WOT request in the KOER test there is an output from the ECA known as "Fast Codes". These are short bursts of information that are used by the manufacturer during assembly. With most equipment these code bursts are not visible as the whole code sequence lasts less than 1/2 second. Ignore this fluctuation if noticed with your test equipment.

CLEARING CODES

Service codes are retrieved from the EEC-IV system through the Self-Test connector by using various test equipment. The KOEO and KOER SELF-TESTS are used for this purpose. After these codes have been recorded or repaired, they may be cleared from the ECA memory.

To clear continuous memory codes, run the KOEO SELF-TEST, when service codes begin to appear on your test equipment or "Check Engine" light, disconnect the jumper wire from the STI connector. If using a STAR tester, unlatch the center button. This will erase continuous memory codes from the processor's memory. If a problem has not been corrected, or the fault is still present, the code will be immediately reset into the ECA memory.

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

DESCRIPTION

The QUICK TEST diagnostic procedure is a functional test of the EEC-IV system. It consists of 7 basic test steps. These basic steps must be carefully followed in sequence, otherwise misdiagnosis, or replacement of non-faulty components may result.

  1. VISUAL CHECK & VEHICLE PREPARATION
  2. EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP
  3. KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST
  4. COMPUTED TIMING CHECK
  5. KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST
  6. CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST)
  7. DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM

After all tests, servicing, or repairs have been completed, repeat QUICK TEST to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly.

The KOEO and KOER SELF-TESTS are intended to detect faults present at the time of testing, not intermittent faults. Intermittent faults are recorded and stored as Continuous Memory Codes, or may be detected by CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE "WIGGLE" TEST, which is entered after the KOER SELF-TEST. See CONTINUOUS MEMORY MONITOR MODE . A fault discovered during the "Wiggle" Test, may or may not set a code in the Continuous Memory, but the "Wiggle" Test is always circuit specific as directed in the CIRCUIT TESTS.

Note. Correct test results for system are dependent on the correct operation of several related non-EEC components and systems. All non-EEC problems in the engine, ignition or fuel system should be corrected before attempting to diagnose the EEC system.

VISUAL CHECK & VEHICLE PREPARATION

Before hooking up any equipment to diagnose the EEC system, make the following visual checks and perform the preparation procedures

  1. Verify condition of air cleaner and air ducting.
  2. Check all vacuum hoses for leaks, restrictions, and proper routing.
  3. Check the EEC-IV system wiring harness electrical connections for corrosion, bent or broken pins, loose wires or terminals, and proper routing.
  4. Check the ECA, sensors and actuators for physical damage.
  5. Check engine coolant level.
  6. Perform all necessary safety precautions to prevent personal injury or vehicle damage.
  7. Set parking brake and place shift lever in "P" for automatic transmissions, and Neutral for manual transmissions. DO NOT move shift lever during test unless specifically directed to do so.
  8. Turn off all lights and accessories. Ensure vehicle doors are closed when making voltage or resistance readings.
  9. Start engine and idle until upper radiator hose is hot and pressurized, and throttle is off fast idle. Check for leaks around exhaust manifold, exhaust gas oxygen sensor, and vacuum hose connections.
  10. Turn ignition off. Service items as required, then go to «TEST EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing) .

STAR Tester

Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position. Connect color coded adapter cable leads to diagnostic tester. Connect adapter cable's 2 service connectors to vehicle Self-Test and STI connectors. (Scheme 219) Connect timing light. Go to KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST.

Scheme 219

Scheme 219: STAR Tester

Volt/Ohm Meter

  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 pin No. 4 (STO) on Self-Test connector. (Scheme 220) Connect timing light, and go to «KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing). KOEO SELF-TEST is activated by connecting jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to pin No. 2 (Signal Return) on Self-Test connector with the ignition on.

Key On Engine Off (KOEO) - Self-Test Special Notes

When preparing to perform the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) self-test. Be aware of the following conditions

  1. It may be necessary to service non-EEC-IV faults before running Key On Engine Off (KOEO) Self-Test.
  2. Continuous Memory Codes recorded in this step will be used for diagnosis in Continuous Self Test after a PASS code 11 is received in both the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) and the Key On Engine Running (KOER) Self-Tests. See «CONTINUOUS SELF TEST»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing).
  3. Deviation from this procedure may cause the output of false codes.
  4. The first set of codes to appear are the KOEO SELF-TEST codes, they will be repeated twice, followed by the SEPARATOR pulse signal and then the CONTINUOUS MEMORY codes [KOEO-Separator-Continuous Memory]. These codes will also be repeated twice. Example: for a code display of 11-1(0)-11. The first number 11 is a KOEO code 11, the second number is a separator code 10, and the third number is a continuous code 11. An illustration of this code sequence may be found in (Scheme 215) - (Scheme 218).

Key On Engine Off (KOEO) Self-Test - Test Procedure

Note. This test procedures has been revised based on updated procedures in Ford Technical Service Bulletin, 89-18A-10.

  1. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position. Ensure all procedures of «VISUAL CHECK & VEHICLE PREPARATION»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing__visual-check-vehicle-preparation) and «TEST EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing) have been followed. Engine should be at normal operating temperature.
  2. Activate the KOEO Self-Test.
  3. Turn ignition switch to the "ON" position. If Star Tester is being used latch center button in down position at this time. If using an analog VOM, connect a jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to pin No. 2 (Signal Return) on Self-Test connector. (Scheme 220)and (Scheme 217). If using "Check Engine" (MIL) light, connect a jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to pin No. 2 (Signal Return) on Self-Test connector. This will activate the KOEO Self-Test, "Check Engine" (MIL) light will start to flash.
  4. The ECA will run through a test cycle, opening and closing various solenoids and switches. After the completion of the test cycle the codes will appear. Record all codes.

KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) CIRCUIT TEST MENU

This test checks engine sensors under actual operating conditions and at operating temperature. The ECA operates and tests actuators and sensors during this test. A number of special test procedures may be requested by the ECA during this test, depending on vehicle equipment. These tests allow the ECA to test the following sensors.

Engine ID Codes

The first code displayed during the KOER SELF-TEST is an engine identification code. They indicate the number of cylinders in the engine. An engine ID Code of 2 (20), 3 (30), or 4 (40) indicates 4, 6, or 8 cylinder engines, respectively.

Dynamic Response or Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Check

Allows the ECA to check the TP, VAF and MAP sensors. This test is accomplished by a brief opening of the throttle to the full open position. It is also called the "Goose" test. It is requested by a single pulse or Code 10 approximately 6-20 seconds after the engine identification codes are displayed.

Special Notes

When preparing to perform the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) self-test. Be aware of the following conditions

  1. If the engine starts but stalls, or stalls during Self-Test. Go to «TEST D19 - SYSTEM CHECK»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing__test-d19-system-check) , step 1).
  2. On vehicles equipped with the Brake On/Off Switch (BOO), the brake pedal MUST be depressed and released AFTER the ID code.
  3. On vehicles equipped with the Power Steering Pressure Switch (PSPS), within 1 to 2 seconds after the ID code, the steering wheel must be turned at least one-half turn and released. On vehicles equipped with E40D transmission, the Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) must be cycled after the ID code.
  4. On vehicles equipped with E40D transmission, the Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) must be cycled after the ID code.
  5. The Dynamic Response code is a single pulse (or a 10 code on the Scan Tester) that occurs 6-20 seconds after the engine running identification code. See «DYNAMIC RESPONSE OR WIDE OPEN THROTTLE (WOT) CHECK»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing__dynamic-response-or-wide-open-throttle) .
  6. When the Dynamic Response code occurs, perform a brief wide-open throttle.
  7. Code Output [Engine ID-Dynamic Response-Engine Running] display description. Example: for a code display of 2(0)-1(0)-11, the first number 2 is Engine ID, this 2 indicates a four cylinder. The second number is a Dynamic Response code 10, and the third number is a Engine Running code 11. Also, see «ENGINE ID CODES»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing__engine-id-codes) .

Test Procedure

Note. This test procedure has been revised due to Ford Technical Service Bulletin 89-18A-10.

  1. Deactivate Self-Test by disconnecting STI jumper wire. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes to warm up HEGO sensor. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds
  2. Activate "Self-Test". See «KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing) .
  3. Start engine. The engine ID code will be displayed. On vehicles equipped with Brake On/Off switch (BOO), the brake pedal MUST be depressed and released AFTER the ID code (within 1-2 seconds). On vehicles equipped with Power Steering Pressure Switch (PSPS), the steering wheel MUST be turned one-half turn and released AFTER the ID code. On vehicles equipped with an Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) the switch must be cycled AFTER the ID code.
  4. If a Dynamic Response code occurs, briefly depress accelerator pedal to Wide Open Throttle (WOT). A Dynamic Response code is a Code 1 or 10 displayed after the Engine ID code and before the Engine Running codes. DO NOT depress throttle during test unless a Dynamic Response code occurs. The KOER Self-Test service codes will then be displayed. Observe and record all codes.

Determining The Continuous Memory Codes To Be Serviced

  1. Refer to the Continuous Memory Codes recorded from KOEO Self-Test.
  2. The cause of some of the Continuous Memory Codes may have been eliminated during either Key On Engine Off or Engine Running Self-Test service.
  3. Address only those Continuous Memory Codes for which faults have not been previously serviced. If the fault has been serviced in KOEO Self-Test for Computed Timing Check. Clear Continuous Memory Codes.
  4. Go to service codes table of Continuous Self-Test. See «CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST CIRCUIT TEST MENU»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing) .

CONTINUOUS MEMORY MONITOR MODE

The Continuous Monitor Mode allows a technician to attempt to recreate an intermittent fault while monitoring the system. This mode, also called the "Wiggle" test, may be used in both KOEO and KOER modes. The CIRCUIT TESTS specify the use of this procedure to identify intermittent faults in specific circuits or components.

KOEO "Wiggle" Test Procedure

Connect test equipment. See TEST EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP . Turn ignition on and activate Self-Test with jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate Self-Test. You are now in "Wiggle" test mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at the diagnostic tester or scan tool. Record or retrieve code and perform test indicated in CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST CIRCUIT TEST MENU table.

KOER "Wiggle" Test Procedure

Connect test equipment. See TEST EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP . Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Start engine. Activate Self-Test with jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate Self-Test. DO NOT turn engine off. You are now in engine running "Wiggle" test mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at the diagnostic tester or scan tool. Record or retrieve code and perform test indicated in CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST CIRCUIT TEST MENU table.

DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM INDEX

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

A number of additional diagnostic test features are available to aid in diagnosis of driveability problems.

Output State Check

The Output State Check is used as an aid in servicing output actuators associated with the EEC-IV system. It allows you 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. At this time, leave SELF-TEST activated and depress throttle to initiate the test sequence. Each time throttle is depressed and released, the output actuators will change state (go from on to off, or off to on).

Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM), Code 98

The FMEM mode allows system operation when one or more sensors fail or transmit signals which are out of their normal operating range. The ECA will substitute a mid-range signal for the defective sensor and continue to monitor the sensor. If the faulty sensor signals return to within the normal operating range the ECA will use those signals. A Code 98 will be displayed when the FMEM mode is in effect.

Note. CIRCUIT TESTS are grouped in the following categories.

  1. A1-A3 Preliminary Tests
  2. B1-B17 Input Sensor Tests
  3. C1-C2 Fuel Control Systems
  4. D1-D25 ECA Output Tests

HOW TO USE CIRCUIT TESTS

  1. DO NOT perform any CIRCUIT TEST unless directed to do so by a QUICK TEST procedure. Ensure all non-EEC related faults are corrected. FOLLOW EACH TEST STEP IN ORDER UNTIL FAULT IS FOUND. DO NOT replace any part unless directed to do so. When more than one service code is received, start with the first code displayed.
  2. CIRCUIT TESTS require that you prove the electrical circuits are okay before you replace sensors or any other components. Always test circuits for continuity between the sensor and the ECA. Test all circuits for shorts to power, opens, or shorts 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 key off whenever checking for shorts or continuity, unless specified. NOTE: When directed in testing procedure to service or repair TFI ignition system, see «IGNITION SYSTEM»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/ignition-system/#ignition-system) article in ENGINE section.
  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" is defined as any resistance reading 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 any resistance reading less than 10K ohms to ground, unless otherwise specified in CIRCUIT TEST.
  6. On FUEL CONTROL CIRCUIT TESTS C1, and C2, to prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may also be at fault. 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. NOTE: Fuel contaminated engine oil may affect some service codes. If this is suspected, remove PCV valve from valve cover and repeat QUICK TEST. If problem is corrected, change engine oil and filter.
  7. On FUEL CONTROL CIRCUIT TESTS C1, and C2, vacuum leaks in non-EEC related areas may also cause code 41 or 91 to be displayed. Check for unmetered air leaks between airflow meter and throttle body, leaking vacuum motors, engine seals, EGR system, PCV system, Canister Purge (CANP) problems, or contaminated HEGO sensor. Code 42 or 92 may be caused by fuel contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire, EGR system, or CANP problems.

To prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may be at fault: unusually high/low atmospheric barometer reading, kinked or blocked vacuum lines, or engine condition (valves, vacuum leaks, valve timing, EGR valve, etc.).

  1. Service Code 22. Code 22 indicates that the MAP/BP sensor is out of Self-Test voltage range (1.4-1.6 volts). Possible causes are: MAP/BP signal circuit open between sensor harness connector and ECA, MAP/BP signal circuit shorted to VREF, SIG RTN or ground, faulty MAP/BP sensor, vacuum trapped at MAP/BP sensor, high atmospheric pressure, faulty ECA or VREF or SIG RTN circuit open at sensor. Turn key off. Disconnect MAP/BP sensor from harness. Connect MAP/BP tester between wiring harness and MAP/BP sensor and connect tester to DVOM. (Scheme 232) Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Go to next step.
  2. Checking Power to MAP/BP Sensor. Green light on tester indicates VREF is okay (4-6 volts). Red light or no light on tester indicates VREF is either too low or too high. Turn key on. If Green light on tester is on, VREF is okay, go to step 4). If Green light is not on, go to next step.
  3. VREF Isolation. With MAP/BP tester connected, turn key on. Disconnect MAP/BP sensor. If Green light is on, VREF is correct. Replace MAP/BP sensor and repeat QUICK TEST. If green light is not on, remove MAP/BP tester. Reconnect sensor, and go to «TEST A3 - REF»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing__test-a3-ref-voltage). VOLTAGE, step 1).
  4. MAP/BP Tester Output Reading. If accessible, measure several known good MAP sensors on available vehicles. The measured voltage will be typical for your location on day of testing. With MAP/BP tester connected and key on, measure MAP sensor voltage output. See «MAP SENSOR VOLTAGE OUTPUT»(/ford/club-wagon-e150/1987-1991/remont/testing-diagnostics/#75l-eec-iv-testing) table below. If voltage output is in correct range for altitude, remove MAP/BP tester and go to next step. If output reading is not within range, remove MAP/BP tester and go to step 6). MAP SENSOR VOLTAGE OUTPUT Elevation (Ft.) Volts 0 1.55-1.63 1000 1.52-1.60 2000 1.49-1.57 3000 1.46-1.54 4000 1.43-1.51 5000 1.40-1.48 6000 1.37-1.45 7000 1.35-1.43
