INTRODUCTION
Perform all steps in BASIC TESTING article in this section. If no fault is found while performing BASIC TESTING , proceed with self-diagnostics. If no service code or only pass codes are found during self-diagnostics, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for diagnosis by symptoms.
DIAGNOSTIC FORMATS
There are 2 diagnostic formats used to test and service the EEC-IV system: QUICK TEST and CIRCUIT TESTS. QUICK TEST allows the technician to identify problems, and retrieve and record service codes. CIRCUIT TESTS check circuits, sensors and actuators.
If vehicle passes QUICK TEST, and there are no driveability symptoms or intermittent faults, the EEC-IV system is okay. Problem exists elsewhere.
Before starting any CIRCUIT TEST, follow all steps under QUICK TEST to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST.
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 for self-test procedures. Codes may be cleared from ECA memory after they have been recorded or repaired. See CLEARING CODES.
KOEO & KOER Codes (Hard Faults)
These codes indicate faults are present at time of testing. See appropriate chart under SERVICE CODE DEFINITION CHARTS 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 SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS 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 SERVICE CODE DEFINITION CHARTS 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. Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article.
| CAUTION | Continuous 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
- Analog Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)
- "Scan" Tool
- STAR Series Tester
- In-Dash CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON Light
| Application | Location |
|---|---|
| Escort (1.9L) | Right rear of engine, near cowl. |
| Tracer (1.9L) | Left rear corner of engine compartment. |
SELF-TEST CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
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.
| CAUTION | DO 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. |
KOEO & KOER SELF-TEST CODES
All service codes are 2 or 3-digit numbers. Codes are outputted, one digit at a time, by ECA. See appropriate chart under SERVICE CODE DEFINITION CHARTS for definitions of codes. These codes indicate current faults in the system, and should be serviced in the order of appearance. Use appropriate chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST. Codes are shown as voltage pulses (needle sweeps) on an analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM). (Scheme 1)
If using VOM, pay careful attention to the length of pauses in order to read codes correctly. There is a 1/2-second pause between number of sweeps in a digit, and a 2-second pause between the digits in a code. There is a 4-second pause between each code. KOEO codes are separated from Continuous Memory codes by a 6-second delay, a single 1/2-second sweep (Separator) and another 6-second delay. Record codes in the order received.
If using "Scan" Tool, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. The STAR Series Tester will add a zero (0) to single-digit Separator Code (10) and Dynamic Response Code (10). The Dynamic Response Code is displayed in KOER SELF-TEST. (Scheme 1)
If using CHECK ENGINE light, service codes are displayed as flashes.
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 SERVICE CODE DEFINITION CHARTS 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.

DESCRIPTION
The following procedures are functional tests of EEC-IV system. There are 7 basic test steps. These test steps must be carefully followed in sequence, otherwise misdiagnosis or replacement of non-faulty components may result.
- Visual Check & Vehicle Preparation
- Equipment Hookup
- Key On Engine Off (KOEO) Self-Test
- Computed Timing Check
- Key On Engine Running (KOER) Self-Test
- Continuous Monitor Mode (Wiggle Test)
- Intermittents & Diagnosis By Symptom
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
After all tests, servicing or repairs have been completed, repeat QUICK TEST procedure to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly and service codes are no longer present.
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 2) 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.
KOEO SELF-TEST
Start engine and allow to idle until vehicle reaches operating temperature. If engine does not start or stalls after starting, continue KOEO SELF-TEST. DO NOT depress throttle on gasoline-engine vehicles. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Activate self-test procedure by using a jumper wire or appropriate test equipment. Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. Record all KOEO and Continuous Memory Codes.
If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is not received in the KOEO portion of the test, service the KOEO codes. See appropriate chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS. If the ECA will not output codes, go to TEST QA, step 1. If service codes are received, check the following procedures
- If CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light is on when vehicle arrived for service, use recorded Continuous Memory Codes and appropriate chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS before addressing any other symptoms.
- On all vehicles, except vehicles with Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) or Electronic Distributorless Ignition System (EDIS), if engine runs or idles rough, go to TEST S, step 2. On vehicles with DIS or EDIS, use recorded Continuous Memory Codes and appropriate chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
- On DIS and EDIS vehicles, perform only the following. If Continuous Memory Codes 45, 46, 48, 215, 216, 217, 232 or 238 are received during KOEO SELF-TEST, see appropriate system in the SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. If Codes 45, 46, 48, 215, 216, 217, 232 or 238 were not received, go to TEST S, step 2.
- On all vehicles, except vehicles with EDIS, if vehicle has a no-start condition, go to TEST A, step 1. On vehicles with EDIS, go to TEST AA, step 1.
- If vehicle displays a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) and does not have any of the symptoms described in previous steps, go to COMPUTED TIMING CHECK.
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
- If engine starts and stalls, or stalls during self-test, go to TEST S, step 1.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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), step 2 of TEST PB (vehicles with DIS), or Step 2) of TEST PA (vehicles with TFI).
DO NOT enter this test sequence until a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) has been received in KOEO SELF-TEST. If system has not passed KOEO SELF-TEST, code recorded in KOER SELF-TEST may not be valid.
Deactivate self-test by removing and reconnecting jumper wire, or by procedure specified by test equipment in use. Start and run engine for 2 minutes at 2000 RPM to warm-up Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds. Activate KOER SELF-TEST using a jumper wire or appropriate procedure for test equipment used. Start engine. Record all service codes displayed. Check the following items
- If engine starts and stalls, or stalls during self-test, go to TEST S, step 1.
- If vehicle is equipped with a Brake On/Off (BOO) switch, brake pedal MUST be depressed and released AFTER the ID code portion of test.
- On vehicles with Power Steering Pressure Switch (PSPS), turn steering wheel at least 1/2 turn and release within 1-2 seconds after the ID code portion of test.
- On vehicles with E4OD transmissions, the Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) MUST be cycled after the ID code portion of the test.
- When the Dynamic Response Code appears, perform a brief Wide Open Throttle (WOT). DO NOT perform WOT unless requested.
- If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, it indicates EEC-IV system is operating in Failure Management Effects Mode (FMEM) and vehicle has not passed KOEO SELF-TEST. Vehicle cannot be diagnosed while in FMEM mode. See Code 98 or 998 in appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODE chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
- If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is received during KOER SELF-TEST, service Continuous Memory Codes received in KOEO SELF-TEST. See appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODE chart.
- If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is received during the Continuous Memory Code portion of KOEO SELF-TEST (Code 11-1-11) or (11-1-111), and no driveability problem exists, EEC-IV testing is complete. If driveability problems are still present, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
- If KOER codes are present, refer to appropriate KOER SELF-TEST CODES chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS. If system will not output codes, go to TEST QA, step 1.
CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST)
The Continuous Monitor Mode allows technician to attempt a recreation of intermittent fault while monitoring the system. This mode, also called the wiggle test, may be used in both KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. 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. (Scheme 2) Turn ignition on and activate self-test with jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate self-test. Wiggle test mode is now activated. 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 by appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
KOER Wiggle Test Procedure
Connect test equipment. (Scheme 2) 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. KOER wiggle test mode is now activated. 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 appropriate CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS.
INTERMITTENT & DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOMS
See TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
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.
Hardware Limited Operational Strategy (HLOS)
If a number of system or sensor failures are present, and the ECA is not receiving enough information to operate, ECA will switch to HLOS mode. ECA will output fixed values to allow operation of vehicle. Driveability concerns will be present. ECA will not output service codes in this mode.
Cylinder Balance Test
This test helps identify a weak or noncontributing cylinder in engines with sequential PFI fuel systems. The ECA shuts off fuel supply to each injector and measures RPM drop. It computes the variation between cylinders and identifies the weak ones. This test mode is entered from the KOER SELF-TEST, after all codes have been displayed. Within 2 minutes after codes have been displayed, lightly depress throttle (a 2-3 degree throttle angle is required, NOT a wide open throttle). After a brief stabilizing period, ECA will activate the test procedure. The test will be repeated if the throttle is depressed within 2 minutes of the final code output. During the 2nd and 3rd test sequence, the percentage of allowable variation between cylinders is reduced. Service codes displayed during this test identify the weak or non-contributing cylinder. See CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES table to identify the cylinder number corresponding to the service code displayed. If Code 90 is displayed during this test, it indicates a passing result. If Code 77 is displayed, repeat cylinder balance test. If throttle is moved during this test, Code 77 will appear, indicating that test is not completed. Total test time is about 3 minutes.
| Service Code | Application |
|---|---|
| 90 | Pass |
| 10 | Cylinder No. 1 |
| 20 | Cylinder No. 2 |
| 30 | Cylinder No. 3 |
| 40 | Cylinder No. 4 |
| 50 | Cylinder No. 5 |
| 60 | Cylinder No. 6 |
| 70 | Cylinder No. 7 |
| 80 | Cylinder No. 8 |
| 77 | Retest |

SUMMARY
If no service code (or pass code 11-1-11 or 111-1-111) is present, but driveability problem still exists, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e. ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.), or intermittent diagnosis procedures.

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.
Fuel-contaminated engine oil may affect some codes. If this is suspected, remove PCV valve from valve cover and repeat QUICK TEST. If problem is corrected, change engine oil and filter.
On CIRCUIT TEST H and CIRCUIT TEST J (Fuel Control), vacuum leaks in non-EEC related areas may also cause Code 41 or 91 to be displayed.

8) Code 34/335: Verify KOER Codes Code 34/335 indicates PFE/DPFE sensor is out of self-test range (2.6-4.2 volts), and PFE/DPFE sensor may be faulty. PFE/DPFE system can detect lack of pressure in exhaust system. An efficient garage exhaust ventilation system, installed during KOEO SELF-TEST, may cause PFE/DPFE sensor to generate Code 34/335. Remove exhaust ventilation system and retest. If Code 34/335 is not displayed, service other codes displayed during KOEO SELF-TEST; if no code is displayed, continue with QUICK TEST. If Code 34/335 is displayed, go to next step.

20) KOEO Code 34/334: Check For Code 84/558 KOEO Code 34/334 indicates EGR valve and/or EVP is not fully seated in the closed position. EVP voltage signal, in the closed position, is greater than self-test maximum of 0.67 volt. Because of the preload on the installed EVP sensor, it is very difficult to determine if EGR valve is seated, or EVP sensor is in contact with EGR valve. Possible causes for this fault are as follows
- Poor continuity at EVP sensor
- Non-seated EGR valve
- Faulty EGR valve
- Faulty EVP sensor
Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Check for Code 84/558 in KOEO SELF-TEST. If Code 84/558 is present, go to step 10 of this circuit test. If Code 84/558 is not displayed, go to next step.
21) Check EVP Sensor & EGR Valve Operation Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect EVP sensor. Inspect harness and connector and service as necessary. Remove vacuum line from EGR valve. To test operation of EGR valve, apply and release vacuum to valve using a vacuum pump, or manually depress and release diaphragm. Connect vacuum line to EGR valve, and connect connector to EVP sensor. Repeat KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. If Code 34/334 is still displayed, go to next step. If Code 34/334 is not displayed, the original code was set by a faulty connection or a sticking EGR valve. Testing of EGR valve is complete.

If Code 34/334 is present, check EGR valve for mechanical fault. If Code 34/334 is not present, service or replace original EVP sensor. Repeat QUICK TEST.
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 23 to step 25. Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
25) KOEO & KOER Code 32/238: Checking EVP Sensor & EGR Valve Operation Code 32/238 indicates EGR valve and/or EVP sensor signal voltage is less than closed position minimum (0.29 volt). Preload on EVP sensor makes it difficult to determine whether EGR valve has malfunctioned, or EVP sensor has abnormally high resistance. Possible causes for this fault are as follows
- Poor continuity at EVP sensor connector
- Non-seated or faulty EGR valve
- Faulty EVP sensor
Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect EVP sensor. Inspect connector and harness for damage, and service as necessary. Remove vacuum line from EGR valve. To test operation of EGR valve, apply and release vacuum to valve using vacuum pump, or manually depress and release diaphragm. Connect vacuum line to EGR valve, and connect connector to EVP sensor. Repeat KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. If Code 32/328 is still present, go to next step. If Code 32/328 is not displayed, the original code is set by a faulty connection or a sticking EGR valve. Testing of EGR valve is complete.
26) Substitute EVP Sensor On Original EGR Valve Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Install a known good EVP sensor on original EGR valve. Perform KOEO SELF-TEST. If Code 32/328 is present, check EGR valve for mechanical malfunction. If Code 32/328 is not present, replace original EVP sensor. Repeat QUICK TEST.
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 26 to step 40. Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
40) KOER Code 33/332: Check Vacuum At EGR KOER Code 33/332 indicates EVP sensor input did not change after ECA signaled operation of EGR. Because a Code 84 was not received in KOEO SELF-TEST, EVR solenoid electrical function is okay. The lack of Code 32/328 or 34/334 indicates EVP sensor is within closed position specifications. Possible causes for this fault are as follows
- Leaking vacuum hose
- Restricted vacuum hose
- Restricted EVR solenoid filter
- Faulty EGR valve
Turn ignition off. Disconnect vacuum line from EGR valve. Connect a vacuum gauge at open end of line. Perform KOER SELF-TEST and observe vacuum gauge. If reading is greater than 1.5 in.

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 Continuous Memory Code 121), or go to next step (for 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.

If vehicle is a no start, cycle ignition on and off several times. If fuel pressure is within specification, go to next step. If pressure is not to specification, remove fuel pressure gauge. Repair electric fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator.
3) Check Systems Ability To Hold Fuel Pressure Turn ignition on, leaving engine off. If fuel pressure remains at specification for 60 seconds, go to next step (for no starts), go to step 5 (for EFI), or go to step 6 (for SEFI). If fuel pressure is not as described, repair fuel delivery system as necessary.
4) Fuel Delivery Test Ensure fuel is of good quality. With ignition off, install fuel pressure gauge and pressurize fuel system as in step 1. Disconnect inertia switch. Crank engine for 5 seconds. If fuel pressure drop is greater than 5 psi after 5 seconds of cranking, EEC-IV system is not the cause of no-start condition. Check additional no-start tests in the H - TESTS W/O NO CODES article in this section. If fuel pressure drop is less than 5 psi, remove fuel pressure gauge and reconnect inertia switch; go to step 7 (for EFI), or step 8 (for SEFI).
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 4 to step 7 Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.

13) Check Thermactor Operation If vehicle is equipped with Pulse-Air or does not have Thermactor System, ignore this step and go to next step. With dual HEGO, code 41/172 refers to right or rear HEGO, and code 91/136 or 176 refers to left or front HEGO. A HEGO that is always lean could be caused by Thermactor air being diverted upstream from HEGO sensor. Turn ignition off and wait 10 second. Disconnect Thermactor air hose(s) from Thermactor pump. Run KOER SELF-TEST. If codes 41/172, 91/136 or 176 are present, reconnect Thermactor air hose(s) and go to next step. If codes 41/172, 91/136 or 176 are not present, repair thermactor system as necessary.
14) Check HEGO Integrity A HEGO sensor that is always lean, slow to switch or does not switch could be caused by the following

- On engines with MAP sensor, go to step 20.
- On engines with MAF sensor, remove breakout box. Reconnect HEGO sensor and replace ECA. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.
20) Attempt To Eliminate Code 41/172, 91/136 Or 176: Engines With MAP Sensor Turn ignition off. Install breakout box; reconnect ECA and HEGO sensor. Ensure MAP sensor vacuum hose is disconnected and plugged. Apply 10-14 in. Hg to MAP sensor. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes. Allow engine to return to idle. Perform KOER SELF-TEST. If you are here for Continuous Memory Codes, vehicle has to be driven 5 miles at 55 MPH. If Code 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is still present, remove breakout box. Reconnect ECA and MAP sensor vacuum line. If engine still runs rough, go to TEST S, step 2. If engine does not run rough, replace ECA; drive vehicle 5 miles at 55 MPH then repeat QUICK TEST.
If Code 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is not present, remove breakout box and reconnect ECA and MAP sensor vacuum hose. HEGO input circuit and fuel delivery are okay; fault is in area common to all areas. Service as necessary.

Measure voltage between KEY POWER circuit and PWR GND circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector. If voltage is greater than 10.5 volts, HEGO system and fuel delivery are okay; HEGO sensor may have cooled before KOER SELF-TEST. If driveability symptom persists, fault is in area common to all cylinders, such as air or vacuum leaks, fuel contamination, EGR, MAP, etc. If voltage is less than 10.5 volts, go to next step.
Identifying HEGO Sensor Harness Connector. Scheme 30
23) Check Continuity Of Power Ground Circuit Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect HEGO sensor and set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between PWR GND circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector and battery negative post. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open in KEY POWER circuit. Reconnect HEGO and rerun QUICK TEST. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, reconnect HEGO sensor and repair open in PWR GND circuit. Reconnect HEGO sensor and rerun QUICK TEST.
24) Check HEGO SIGNAL For Short To Power On dual HEGO systems, Code 42/173 refers to right (or rear) side HEGO, and Code 92/137 or 177 refers to left (or front) side HEGO. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. With ignition on and engine off, measure voltage between HEGO SIG and PWR GND at HEGO vehicle harness connector. If reading is less than .5 volt, go to step 26. If reading is NOT less than 0.5 volt, go to next step.
25) Check For Short To Power Turn ignition off. Disconnect HEGO sensor. Inspect both ends of connector for damaged or pushed-out pins, moisture, corrosion, loose wires or other damage. Repair as necessary. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected.

If reading is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short circuit. Remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.
26) Check HEGO Sensor For Short To Ignition Run Circuit Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect HEGO. Set DVOM to 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between KEY POWER circuit and HEGO SIG circuit at HEGO sensor connector.
If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, go to next step for codes 42/173, 92/137 or 177. For codes 171, 174, 175 or 178, go to step 28 (MAP sensor), or step 30 (MAF sensor).
If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, replace HEGO sensor. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH and rerun QUICK TEST.
27) Attempt To Generate Code 41/172, 91/136 Or 176 The following non-EEC areas may cause these codes: fuel-contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire and faulty CANP system. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor. Using jumper wire, connect HEGO SIG circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector to battery negative terminal. Repeat KOER SELF-TEST.
If Code 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is present, remove jumper wire and go to next step for engines with MAP. For all other engines, go to step 30.
If Codes 41/172, 91/136 or 176 is not present, remove jumper wire. Disconnect ECA connector and inspect for damage. If connector is okay, replace ECA. Drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Repeat QUICK TEST.
Because MAP sensor has a large influence on fuel control, Code 42/172 or 91/136 may be caused by a faulty MAP sensor, even though Code 22/126 has not been set. The next 2 steps test the MAP vacuum circuit.
28) Check MAP Sensor For Vacuum Leaks Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect vacuum hose from MAP sensor and connect vacuum pump to sensor. Apply 18 in Hg to MAP sensor.

Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Remove "T" and vacuum gauge. Reconnect hose to MAP sensor. Connect vacuum gauge at a different intake manifold location. Start engine and note vacuum reading. If readings do not differ by more than 1 in. Hg, go to next step. If readings differ by more than 1 in. Hg, inspect vacuum hoses for leaks, kinks, or blockage. Repair as necessary. Reconnect all components and drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Rerun QUICK TEST.
30) HEGO Sensor Check Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect HEGO sensor. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. For 4-Wire HEGO, connect DVOM to HEGO SIGNAL and HEGO GND at HEGO sensor connector. For 3-Wire HEGO, connect DVOM to HEGO SIGNAL at HEGO sensor connector and battery negative post. Remove a vacuum hose to create vacuum leak, which will cause HEGO sensor to go lean. Start engine and run at approximately 2000 RPM. DVOM should indicate less than 0.4 volt within 30 seconds. If voltage is not as specified, replace HEGO sensor. Reconnect vacuum hoses and drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH. Repeat QUICK TEST. If voltage is as specified, go to next step.
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 30 to step 90. Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
90) Check Continuous Monitor Mode Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Start engine and run at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes then return to idle. Enter KOER wiggle test. See CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST) under QUICK TEST. While observing DVOM or "Scan" Tool, wiggle, shake or bend small sections of EEC-IV wiring harness from HEGO sensor to ECA. Wiggle, shake or bend small sections of EEC-IV wiring harness from HEGO GND to ECA. If no fault is indicated, remain in CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE and go to next step. If fault is indicated, isolate and repair fault as necessary. Clear codes, remove breakout box and reconnect all components. Rerun QUICK TEST.
91) Continuous Monitor Test Drive Check While still in KOER wiggle test, test drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH with minimum road load. Drive an additional 5 miles at 55 MPH over rough roads. If possible, drive vehicle through a pool of water to shower HEGO sensor and connector. If fault is indicated, isolate fault and repair as necessary. Clear codes and remove breakout box. Rerun QUICK TEST. If no codes are indicated, exit KOER wiggle test and go to next step.

Install breakout box and connect ECA to breakout box. Connect analog voltmeter to suspected HEGO sensor test pin and HEGO GND at breakout box. Test drive vehicle for 5 miles at 55 MPH while observing voltmeter. HEGO should switch from .3 volt to .9 volt within 3 seconds. If HEGO does not switch as described, replace HEGO sensor. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and rerun QUICK TEST. If HEGO switches as described, fault cannot be identified or duplicated at this time. See INTERMITTENTS in the TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.

| 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 |
MAP SENSOR VOLTAGE OUTPUT
If possible, measure several known good MAP/BP sensors on available vehicles. Average voltage reading will be typical for your location on date of testing.
1) Continuous Memory Codes 181, 183, 189 Or 192: Is Vehicle SEFI or EFI? This test identifies areas that could cause HEGO sensor to detect excessive oxygen, resulting in adaptive fuel enriching the system to compensate. Excessive oxygen will be detected with lean conditions and certain rich conditions.
For vehicles with dual HEGO sensors, a related fuel code from both HEGO sensors could indicate a problem that is common to all cylinders. If a code is present from only one HEGO, this may help isolate a problem or be an early indication of a common problem.
- Code 183 - Indicates the single right or rear HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached at idle.
- Code 192 - Indicates the left or front HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached at idle.
- Code 181 - Indicates the single right or rear HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached.
- Code 189 - Indicates the left or front HEGO detected a problem, and adaptive fuel rich limit has been reached.
Ensure a pass code (111) is received during both KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. Whenever a repair is made, clear Keep-Alive Memory (KAM). If driveability symptoms are not present, be aware of other temporary conditions that may have set this code, such as vehicle is out of fuel or fuel is contaminated.
If vehicle is SEFI equipped, go to next step. If vehicle is not SEFI equipped, go to step 3.
2) Run Cylinder Balance Test Run KOER SELF-TEST. After last repeated code, wait 5-10 seconds then "goose" throttle lightly (not WOT). Cylinder balance test will be activated. If Code 90 is present, go to next step. If Code 90 is not present, go to step 35.

Disconnect any fuel injector harness connector. Measure and record voltage between VPWR circuit at fuel injector vehicle harness connector and battery negative terminal. If both voltage readings are within one volt of each other, go to next step. If voltage readings differ by more than one volt, fuel injectors are not getting proper battery voltage. Isolate and repair problem. Clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST.
8) Ensure CANP Solenoid Is Not Stuck Closed Enter Output State Check. Disconnect hose to manifold vacuum at CANP solenoid. Check for blockage and repair or replace hose as necessary. With outputs off, apply 16 in. Hg. vacuum to manifold vacuum side of CANP. Depress throttle to cycle outputs on. If vacuum releases, reconnect vacuum hose to CANP and go to next step (thermactor-equipped vehicles), or step 26 (all other vehicles). If vacuum does not release, repeat this step to verify results. If vacuum will not release, check canister and vacuum hose to canister for blockage; repair as necessary. If canister and hose are okay, replace CANP solenoid; clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST.
9) Check Thermactor System For Upstream Air Leak Check thermactor air control and vacuum control valves. See SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. If air control valve is operating properly, go to step 25. If air control valve is not operating properly, repair or replace valve as necessary. Clear KAM and rerun QUICK TEST.
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 9 to step 15. Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
15) Continuous Memory Codes 179, 182, 188 Or 191: Is Vehicle SEFI or EFI? This test identifies areas that could cause engine to run rich, resulting in adaptive fuel reducing the system to compensate.

TEST PIN WIRE COLOR IDENTIFICATION
1) Continuous Memory Code 15/512 Displayed Code 15/512 indicates ECA is experiencing power interruption in its Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) circuit. Clear Continuous Memory Codes. See CLEARING CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Wait 5 minutes to allow code to reset. Repeat KOEO SELF-TEST for Continuous Memory Code output. If Continuous Memory Code 15/512 is not displayed, Continuous Memory Code 15/512 testing is complete. Service other codes as necessary. If Continuous Memory Code 15/512 is displayed during retest, go to next step.
Continuous Memory Code 15/512 may be displayed when power to Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) test pin No. 1 at ECA is interrupted. This code may be set when installing a breakout box, and may be displayed the first time self-test is performed and power is restored to ECA. Repeat self-test to ensure correct diagnosis.
2) Inspect Engine Compartment Wire Routing Ensure EEC-IV components and wiring are not close to high-tension secondary voltage wires or ignition components. If EEC-IV wiring is close to high-tension wires, reroute EEC wiring. Clear codes and wait 5 minutes. Repeat KOEO SELF-TEST. If Continuous Memory Code 15/512 is no longer displayed, Continuous Memory Code 15/512 testing is complete; service other codes as necessary. If Continuous Memory Code 15/512 is still displayed, go to next step.
3) Code 15/511: Check KAPWR Circuit Voltage Code 15/511 indicates ECA memory (ROM) failed during KOEO SELF-TEST. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector and inspect for damaged pins and loose wires. Service as necessary. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Connect DVOM positive test lead to test pin No. 1 and negative test lead to pin No. 40 or 60 at breakout box. With KOEO, observe voltage reading while wiggling, bending and shaking small sections of EEC harness from EEC to dash. If reading is less than 10.5 volts, repair open circuit; reconnect ECA and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is 10.5 volts or more, replace ECA; remove breakout box and repeat QUICK TEST.
Perform this circuit test when directed by other CIRCUIT TESTS. This test is intended to diagnose only the following
- ECA
- Throttle plate linkage
1) Check For Codes 23, 53, 63, 121, 122 Or 123 If vehicle is equipped with a speed control, speed control servo must be electrically disconnected. This prevents speed control system from affecting throttle plate movement during Output State Check. Rerun QUICK TEST or Output State Check.
Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Perform KOEO SELF-TEST. If Codes 23, 53, 63, 121, 122 or 123 are displayed, go to appropriate KOEO SELF-TEST CODES chart under SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS and service code(s) as necessary. If no code is displayed, go to TEST QA, step 1. If Code 11/111 (pass code) is displayed, go to next step.
2) Check Throttle Linkage Check throttle and linkage for sticking or binding. If throttle and linkage are okay, replace TPS and repeat QUICK TEST. If throttle and linkage are binding, repair as necessary and repeat QUICK TEST.
Perform this test only when directed by TEST AA.
This test is intended to diagnose the following components or systems
- ISC by-pass air system
- MAP system
- EGR system
- MAF system
To prevent replacing good components, be aware that the following non-EEC-IV areas may be at fault
- Faulty power or ground connections
- Ignition system (distributor cap, rotor, wires, coil and plugs)
- Basic mechanical engine components (cam timing, compression, etc.)
1) ISC-BPA Check Attempt to start engine at part throttle. If engine starts and runs smoothly at part throttle, go to TEST KE, step 4. If engine does not function as described, go to step 3.
2) Check For RPM Drop Turn ignition off. Connect a tachometer. Start engine and disconnect ISC solenoid. If RPM drops or engine stalls, reconnect ISC solenoid and go to next step. If RPM does not drop, go to step 4.
3) Power To MAP/BP Sensor If vehicle is not equipped with a MAP/BP sensor, go directly to step 8. Use Ford Motor Co. MAP/BP tester for this test. If Green light is on, VREF circuit voltage is okay. If Red light (or no light) is on, VREF circuit voltage is either too low or too high. Turn ignition off and disconnect MAP/BP sensor from vehicle harness. Connect MAP/BP tester between vehicle harness and MAP/BP sensor. Connect banana plugs of tester into DVOM, and set DVOM on 20-volt scale. With tester connected, turn ignition on. If Green light is on, go to next step. If light is not on, repair open in VREF circuit and remove MAP/BP tester. Reconnect components and retest symptom.
