INTRODUCTION
Perform all steps in BASIC TESTING article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. If no fault is found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, 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 the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for diagnosis by symptoms.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
| CAUTION | When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN article in the GENERAL INFORMATION Section before disconnecting battery. |
DIAGNOSTIC FORMATS
QUICK TEST and CIRCUIT TESTS are diagnostic formats used to test and service EEC-IV system. QUICK TEST allows technician to identify problems and retrieve service codes. CIRCUIT TESTS check circuits, sensors and actuators.
Before starting any CIRCUIT TEST, follow all steps under QUICK TEST to find correct CIRCUIT TEST. If vehicle passes QUICK TEST and no driveability symptoms or intermittent faults exist, EEC-IV system is okay.
SERVICE CODES
During QUICK TEST, 3 types of service codes are retrieved: 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. A hard fault may cause CHECK ENGINE or Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to glow and remain on until fault is repaired. If KOEO or KOER codes are retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST or KOER SELF-TEST, use SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS to find correct testing and repair procedures.
CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES (SOFT FAULTS)
These codes indicate a fault that may or may not be present at time of testing. These codes are used to diagnose intermittent problems. Continuous Memory Codes are retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST. Some codes may turn on MIL or CHECK ENGINE light. Corresponding soft trouble code will be retained in ECA memory. If fault does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles (80 cycles on some models), ECA will automatically clear code.
Technician may clear service codes from memory. See CLEARING CODES. Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
| CAUTION | Continuous Memory Codes should be recorded when retrieved 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. Failure to follow this procedure may result in 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 EEC-IV system through self-test connector. Various methods and test equipment may be used to access these codes
- Analog Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)
- Scan Tester
- In-Dash Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) Or CHECK ENGINE Light
| Application | Location |
|---|---|
| Aerostar | Left front inner fender panel |
| Explorer & Ranger | Right front inner fender panel |
SELF-TEST CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
KOEO & KOER SELF-TEST CODES
All service codes are 2 or 3-digit numbers. ECA outputs codes one digit at a time. These codes indicate current faults in system and should be serviced in order of appearance. Use SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS to find correct CIRCUIT TEST.
Codes are shown as voltage pulses. If using CHECK ENGINE light, service codes are displayed as light pulses. If using Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM), service codes are displayed as needle sweeps. (Scheme 4)
Pay careful attention to length of pauses in order to read codes correctly. A 1/2-second pause occurs between number of sweeps in a digit and a 2-second pause occurs between digits in a code. A 4-second pause occurs 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 order received.
Scan tester, if used, will count pulses and display them as a digital code. STAR Series Tester will add a zero (0) to single-digit Separator Code (10) and Dynamic Response Code (10). Dynamic Response Code is displayed in KOER SELF-TEST. (Scheme 4)
SEPARATOR CODE
Single 1/2-second separator pulse is issued 6-9 seconds after last KOEO code. Continuous Memory Codes (soft faults) are then displayed 6-9 seconds after 1/2-second separator code. Some digital test equipment may display separator code as "10" instead of "1".
PASS CODES
Code 11 or 111 indicates system passes that portion of test. If Code 11 or 111 is not retrieved in KOEO SELF-TEST, codes retrieved during KOER SELF-TEST may not be valid. Code 11-1-11 or 111-1-111, output during KOEO SELF-TEST, indicates no KOEO code or Continuous Memory Code was recorded.
CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES
Continuous Memory Codes are displayed after separator pulse code in KOEO SELF-TEST. These codes result from information stored by ECA during continuous self-test monitoring. These codes indicate faults recorded within last 40 engine starts (80 engine starts on some models). Fault may or may not be currently present. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS . Use these codes for diagnosis only when KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST result in Code 11 or 111.
FAST CODES
At start of KOEO SELF-TEST and after Wide Open Throttle (WOT) request in KOER SELF-TEST, ECA outputs short bursts of information, known as FAST CODES, which were used by manufacturer during assembly. With most equipment, these code bursts are not visible; an entire code sequence lasts less than 1/2 second. If this fluctuation is visible on test equipment, ignore it.
Scheme 4
CLEARING CODES
| CAUTION | DO NOT disconnect vehicle battery to clear codes, as this will erase stored operating information from Keep-Alive Memory (KAM). |
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.
Note. To clear KAM, disconnect negative battery terminal for at least 5 minutes.
Description
Following procedures are functional tests of EEC-IV system. (Scheme 6) These 5 basic test steps must be carefully followed in sequence to avoid misdiagnosis or replacement of non-faulty components.
- Visual Check & Vehicle Preparation
- Equipment Hookup
- KOEO (Key On Engine Off) SELF-TEST
- Computed Timing Check
- KOER (Key On Engine Running) SELF-TEST
Diagnostic Aids
After each service or repair procedure has been completed, repeat QUICK TEST to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly and fault codes are no longer present.
VISUAL CHECK & EQUIPMENT HOOKUP
Complete all steps in BASIC TESTING article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section before proceeding to self-diagnostic tests. Ensure vacuum hoses and EEC-IV wiring harnesses are properly connected.
Apply parking brake, and place shift lever in PARK (A/T) or NEUTRAL (M/T) position. Block drive wheels. Turn off all electrical loads. Connect appropriate test equipment to vehicle as follows
Analog Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Set VOM at 0-15V DC range. Connect positive lead of VOM to positive battery terminal.
- Connect negative VOM lead to Self-Test Output (STO) terminal of self-test connector. (Scheme 5) Connect jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to signal return terminal of self-test connector. KOEO SELF-TEST will activate when ignition is turned on.
Scan Tester
Follow manufacturer instructions to hook up equipment and record service codes.
STAR Series Tester
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect color-coded adapter cable leads to diagnostic tester. Connect 2service connectors of adapter cable to vehicle self-test connector and STI pigtail connector. Connect timing light. Go to KOEO SELF-TEST.
Scheme 5
Scheme 6
KOEO SELF-TEST
Ensure engine is warmed to normal operating temperature. If engine does not start (or stalls after starting), continue KOEO SELF-TEST. DO NOT depress throttle on gasoline vehicles. Turn ignition off. Wait 10 seconds. Ensure test equipment is properly attached. Turn ignition on (engine off). Record all KOEO and Continuous Memory Codes.
If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is not retrieved in KOEO portion of test, service KOEO codes. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS . If ECA will not output codes, go to CIRCUIT TEST QA . If service codes are retrieved
- Service codes in order retrieved. See «SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS»(/ford/explorer/i-1990-1994/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes-40l) .
- On DIS and EDIS models, see IGNITION SYSTEM in I - SYS/COMP TESTS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section if Continuous Memory Code 45, 46, 48, 215, 216, 217, 232 or 238 is retrieved during KOEO SELF-TEST.
- If vehicle has a no-start condition, go to «CIRCUIT TEST AC (EDIS)»(/ford/explorer/i-1990-1994/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes-40l__circuit-test-ac-no-start) .
- If vehicle displays a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) and does not have any of symptoms described in previous steps, go to COMPUTED TIMING CHECK.
COMPUTED TIMING CHECK
Turn ignition off. Connect timing light. Using jumper wire or test equipment, activate KOER SELF-TEST. If engine starts and stalls (or stalls during self-test), go to CIRCUIT TEST S . Start engine, and check for following
- If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, 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 last service code has been displayed. Timing will remain fixed for 2 minutes after last code has been retrieved unless self-test is deactivated.
- Computed timing, at crankshaft, should equal 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 CIRCUIT TEST PC - SPARK TIMING CHECK (EDIS VEHICLES).
DO NOT enter this test sequence until a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) has been retrieved in KOEO SELF-TEST. If system has not passed KOEO SELF-TEST, codes 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 engine, and run it for 2 minutes at 2000 RPM to warm 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 following items
- If engine starts and stalls (or stalls during self-test), go to «CIRCUIT TEST S»(/ford/explorer/i-1990-1994/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes-40l) .
- If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, 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 «SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS»(/ford/explorer/i-1990-1994/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes-40l) .
- If vehicle is equipped with a Brake On-Off (BOO) switch, brake pedal must be depressed and released after 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 ID code portion of test.
- On vehicles with E4OD transmissions, Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) must be cycled after ID code portion of test.
- If Dynamic Response Code appears, perform a brief Wide Open Throttle (WOT). DO NOT perform WOT unless requested.
- If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is retrieved during KOER SELF-TEST, service Continuous Memory Codes retrieved in KOEO SELF-TEST. See «SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS»(/ford/explorer/i-1990-1994/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes-40l) .
- If a Code 11 or 111 (pass code) is retrieved during Continuous Memory Code portion of KOEO SELF-TEST (Code 11-1-11 or Code 111-1-111) and no driveability problem exists, EEC-IV testing is complete. If driveability problems are still present, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
- If KOER codes are present, see «SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS»(/ford/explorer/i-1990-1994/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes-40l) . If system will not output codes, go to «CIRCUIT TEST QA»(/ford/explorer/i-1990-1994/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-controls-tests-wcodes-40l) .
CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST)
Continuous Monitor Mode allows technician to attempt to recreate an intermittent fault while monitoring system. This mode, also called wiggle test, may be used in both KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST. CIRCUIT TESTS specify use of this procedure to identify intermittent faults in specific circuits or components.
KOEO Wiggle Test
Connect test equipment. Turn ignition on, and activate self-test using jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, and then deactivate and reactivate self-test. Wiggle test mode is now activated. Tap, move and wiggle suspect sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at diagnostic tester or scan tester. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS .
KOER Wiggle Test
Connect test equipment. Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds. Start engine. Activate self-test using jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, and then deactivate and reactivate self-test. DO NOT turn engine off. KOER wiggle test mode is now activated. Tap, move and wiggle suspect sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at diagnostic tester or scan tester. Retrieve code, and perform appropriate test. See SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHARTS .
ADDITIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Additional diagnostic system features are available to help diagnose driveability problems and service EEC-IV systems.
Check Engine Light & Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
CHECK ENGINE light and MIL are intended to alert driver of certain malfunctions in EEC-IV system.
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 display all codes which turn on light during vehicle operation, not just Continuous Memory Codes.
If light comes on during vehicle operation, vehicle should be inspected as soon as possible. Immediately turning off engine is not necessary; vehicle can be driven with light on.
If light comes on and then goes off during vehicle operation, code causing light to glow 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 light does not come on, see SYMPTOMS in TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. If hard fault codes are not present, ECA turns out light when it receives a Profile Ignition Pick-Up (PIP) signal.
Output State Check
Output state check is used as an aid for servicing EEC-IV system output actuators. It allows technicians to operate most output actuators on command. This mode is entered from KOEO SELF-TEST after all codes have been retrieved. Leave SELF-TEST activated, and depress throttle to initiate test sequence. Each time throttle is depressed and released, output actuators will change from on to off or off to on.
Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM), Code 98 Or 998 -FMEM mode allows system operation when sensors fail or transmit signals that are out of normal operating range. During FMEM mode, ECA substitutes a mid-range signal for defective sensor while continuing to monitor sensor. If faulty sensor's signals return to normal operating range, ECA will use those signals. A Code 98 or 998 will be displayed when FMEM mode is in effect.
Hardware Limited Operational Strategy (HLOS)
If a number of system or sensor failures are present and 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 performance will be reduced.
Cylinder Balance Test
This test helps identify a weak or non-contributing cylinder in engines with sequential PFI fuel systems. ECA shuts off fuel supply to each injector and measures RPM drop. It computes variation between cylinders and identifies weak ones. This test mode is entered from 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 test procedure. Test will be repeated if throttle is depressed within 2 minutes of final code output. During second and third test sequences, percentage of allowable variation between cylinders is reduced. Service codes displayed during this test identify weak or non-contributing cylinder. See CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES . If Code 90 is displayed during this test, system has passed test. If Code 77 is displayed, repeat cylinder balance test. If throttle is moved during this test, Code 77 will appear, indicating 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 |

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) DEFINITION
CIRCUIT TESTS
Note. A breakout box, connected to vehicle harness at ECA, is necessary to perform most circuit tests. References to Test Pin No. found in CIRCUIT TEST steps refer to test terminals on manufacturer breakout box overlay. Circuit diagrams at beginning of each test identify circuit and wire colors.
HOW TO USE CIRCUIT TESTS
- Ensure all non-EEC-IV related faults found while performing steps in BASIC TESTING article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section have been corrected. DO NOT perform any CIRCUIT TEST unless instructed by a QUICK TEST procedure. Follow each test step in order until fault is found. When more than one code is retrieved, start with first code displayed.
- CIRCUIT TESTS ensure electrical circuits are okay before sensors or other components are replaced. 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 ignition on unless otherwise specified in CIRCUIT TESTS.
- DO NOT measure voltage or resistance at ECA. DO NOT 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 when checking continuity, unless instructed otherwise.
- Disconnect solenoids and switches from harness before measuring continuity and resistance or applying voltage. After each repair, check all component connections and repeat QUICK TEST.
- 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 EEC-IV system. If resistance approaches 5 ohms, always clean suspect connector and coat it with protective dielectric silicone grease. A short is defined as a resistance reading of less than 10,000 ohms to ground, unless stated otherwise in CIRCUIT TEST.
Fuel-contaminated engine oil may affect some codes. If oil is suspect, remove PCV valve from valve cover and repeat QUICK TEST. If problem is corrected, change engine oil.
On CIRCUIT TEST H and CIRCUIT TEST J, vacuum leaks in non-EEC related areas may cause Code 41 or 91 to be displayed. Check vacuum motors, engine seals, EGR system, PCV system, Canister Purge (CANP), HEGO sensor and between airflow meter and throttle body for unmetered air leaks. Code 42 or 92 may be caused by fuel-contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire, or EGR system or CANP problems.

Procedure skips from step 96) to step 99). No test procedures have been omitted. WARNING: Following road test is an optional procedure. Follow all applicable safety procedures and traffic laws. This road test requires a driver and an assistant. Assistant should make measurements, observe changes and record notes. If this test is not performed, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for other possible causes.
- 99) Road Test Vehicle Purpose of this test is to identify faults by monitoring certain controlled parameters while trying to recreate a driveability or MIL light symptom. To prepare for road test: Install fuel pressure gauge. Install MAP/BP tester. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector, install breakout box and reconnect ECA to breakout box. Connect "T" vacuum gauge into manifold vacuum line. Have DVOM, writing materials and appropriate schematics and pin voltage charts available. With ignition on and negative lead of DVOM connected to negative battery terminal, ensure following signals are correct: POWERS: KAPWR (pin No. 1) is greater than 10.5 volts, VPWR (pins No. 37 and 57) is greater than 10.5 volts and VREF (pin No. 26) is 4-6 volts. GROUNDS: PWR GND (pins No. 40 and 60), SIG RTN (pin No. 46) and IGN GND (pin No. 16) are 0.0-0.5 volt. OPTIONAL GROUNDS: HEGO GND (pin No. 49), CSE GND (pin No. Step 20) and MAF RTN (pin No. 9 or 15) are 0.0-0.5 volt.
Test lights and DVOM are useful during diagnosis. For example: with Continuous Memory Code 87/556 (fuel pump primary circuit failure) and a surge or stall symptom, connect a test light to fuel pump relay between VPWR and ground. Connect DVOM between FP circuit at fuel pump relay and breakout box test pin No. 1. Under normal driving conditions, test light will be on and DVOM will read battery voltage. If vehicle stalls, ECA will open FP circuit and DVOM voltage will be low. If fault is in fuel pump circuit, test light and DVOM status will change as fault occurs. If test light at VPWR circuit goes out, fault is in VPWR circuit to fuel pump relay. If test light and DVOM status do not change and Continuous Memory Code 87/556 is set again, replace fuel pump relay. If only FP voltage goes low, fault is in FP circuit or ECA. To diagnose FP circuit and ECA, connect DVOM between breakout box test pin No. 1 and 22. If voltage goes low as symptom occurs, replace ECA. If voltage stays high as symptom occurs, fault is in FP circuit. For fuel pump secondary circuit Codes 95/542 and 96/543, circuits BATT (+), POWER-TO-PUMP and FPM can be diagnosed using same procedure. Drive vehicle and attempt to induce symptom. Information provided by vehicle operator may help when trying to recreate symptom. When symptom occurs, assistant should observe and record changes in voltage signals. Information about symptom and operating condition value of voltage signal and any other information available should be recorded for analysis. If unable to duplicate symptom during road test, verify EEC-IV values are within acceptable range. After test is completed, analyze results to locate and repair fault causing symptom. If problem cannot be identified, go to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for other possible causes of symptom.
