Preface
This article provides a step-by-step approach for diagnosing driveability, emission, and powertrain control system symptoms. Before beginning diagnosis, it may be helpful to reference any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) or On-line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) information when this is available. TSB/OASIS information is available on either the Professional Technician Society (PTS) or Motorcraft® website.
Note. For the diesel engines, refer to the appropriate Diesel Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Manual to continue diagnosis. For the Escape Hybrid or Mariner Hybrid, refer to the Escape Hybrid, Mariner Hybrid Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Manual to continue diagnosis.
This article is used in conjunction with the Workshop Manual and Wiring Diagrams. The Workshop Manuals are used to provide additional diagnostic or component removal and installation information. The Wiring Diagrams are used to provide vehicle specific wiring information, component, connector, and splice locations.
The following is a description of the information contained in each part of this article.
Description and Operation
This part contains description and operation information on powertrain control systems and components and provides the technician with a general knowledge of the powertrain control system. Use this part when general information about the powertrain control system is desired.
Diagnostic Methods
This part contains information on specific diagnostic tasks that are used during diagnosis. Descriptions of specific diagnostic methods are included, as well as detailed instructions on how to access or carry out the task.
Symptom Charts
All diagnosis begins in the SYMPTOM CHARTS article with QT Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Quick Test. If the PCM Quick Test is completed and no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are retrieved, the technician is directed to the NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PRESENT SYMPTOM CHART INDEX . The No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Present Symptom Chart Index contains the list of symptoms addressed in this article, and directs the technician to the appropriate chart in the NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PRESENT SYMPTOM CHARTS . If no PCM DTCs are present and the vehicle symptom is not listed in the No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Present Symptom Chart Index, the technician should go to the appropriate Workshop Manual part to continue diagnosis.
Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts and Descriptions
This part contains the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts and Descriptions. These charts and descriptions are referenced if a DTC is retrieved in the SYMPTOM CHARTS article. Also included are the list of possible causes and diagnostic aids.
Pinpoint Tests
All pinpoint tests are included. Never enter a pinpoint test unless directed there. When directed to a pinpoint test, always read the information included at the beginning of the pinpoint test.
Reference Values
This part contains the Typical Diagnostic Reference Values charts. The technician is directed to these charts from Pinpoint Test Z in the PINPOINT TESTS article.
How to Use the Diagnostic Procedures
- Use the information about the vehicle driveability or emission concerns to attempt to verify/recreate the symptom. Look for any vehicle modifications or aftermarket items that may contribute to the symptom. A check of any applicable TSBs or OASIS messages may be useful if this information is available.
- Go to the «SYMPTOM CHARTS»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-symptom-charts-except-diesel-hybrid) article, QT Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Quick Test. Carry out the PCM quick test steps. Follow any notes as directed.
- If the PCM quick test is completed, no DTCs were retrieved, and no special notes applied, go to the «NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PRESENT SYMPTOM CHART INDEX»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-symptom-charts-except-diesel-hybrid__no-diagnostic-trouble-codes-dtcs-present) .
- Select the symptom that best describes the vehicle symptom (for multiple symptoms select the one that is most evident). Go to the «NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PRESENT SYMPTOM CHARTS»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-symptom-charts-except-diesel-hybrid) as indicated. If no PCM DTCs are present and the vehicle symptom is not listed in the No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Present Symptom Chart Index, go to the appropriate Workshop Manual part to continue diagnosis.
- The No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Present Symptom Charts contain areas to be tested for diagnosis of the vehicle symptom. The chart is arranged to place the higher probability or easiest to test items toward the top of the chart. However, the technician is not required to follow this order due to reasons such as variations in vehicle type, vehicle repair history, or technician experience. The System/Component column indicates the areas that are tested. This column may also contain a quick system/component test. The Reference column indicates where to go for the System/Component testing. All references are to the beginning of a pinpoint test in the «PINPOINT TESTS»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-pinpoint-tests-except-diesel-hybrid) article of this article unless noted otherwise. If referred to a pinpoint test in this article or a Workshop Manual part, go to the procedures. Follow the directions given in those procedures, including directions to other tests or parts. If a damaged part is found, repair as directed. If no concern is found, and diagnosis in that area is complete, return to the «NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PRESENT SYMPTOM CHARTS»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-symptom-charts-except-diesel-hybrid) to continue to the next item. If a quick system/component test is in the System/Component column, the Reference column indicates where to go if the test failed.
- During diagnosis, if directed to test a system/component that is not contained on that vehicle, go to the next step.
- If the No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) Present Symptom Chart for the vehicle symptom is completed and no concern is found, return to the «NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PRESENT SYMPTOM CHART INDEX»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-symptom-charts-except-diesel-hybrid__no-diagnostic-trouble-codes-dtcs-present) to address the next most prominent symptom. If all diagnosis is complete and no concern is found, it may be helpful to refer to «PINPOINT TEST Z - INTERMITTENT»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-pinpoint-tests-except-diesel-hybrid) to continue diagnosis.
- The installation of any new component that affects the PCM adaptive learning strategies (adaptive airflow, idle speed, refueling event, or fuel trim) requires the reset of keep alive memory (KAM). Refer to «RESETTING THE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM)»(/ford/explorer-sport-trac/ii-2006-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-diagnostic-methods-except-diesel-hybrid) to reset the KAM.
- After any repair, reconnect any components and remove any test equipment. Verify that the vehicle is operating correctly and the original complaint is no longer present. If a DTC was present, clear the DTCs and repeat the self-test to verify the repair.
- If a symptom is determined to be intermittent, a careful visual and physical underhood inspection of connectors, wiring harnesses, vacuum lines, and components is required. The Customer Information Worksheet may contain more detailed symptom information. Before an in-depth diagnosis begins, start the engine and wiggle wires, tap on components while listening for an indication of a concern (such as an RPM change or a relay clicking).
Information about engine conditions is stored when a DTC that illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is set. This information is called freeze frame data and may be helpful in diagnosing intermittent concerns. Refer to FREEZE FRAME DATA for additional information.
