Engine Controls - System & Component Testing - 5.8L Eec-Iv: Diagnosis Ford Pickup F350

Test Equipment

Following test equipment should be used in DI system tests.

1. Spark Tester (D81P-6666-A Or D89P-6666-A)
2. Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM)
3. 12-Volt Test Light
4. Remote Starter Switch
5. EEC-IV Diagnostic Cable (007-00097)
6. EEC-IV Breakout Box (T83L-50-EEC-IV)
7. Inductive Timing Light

Diagnostic Aids

PINPOINT TESTS A, B and C are intended to diagnose hard faults. Intermittent failures may be difficult to diagnose using these procedures. See PINPOINT TEST E for intermittent diagnosis. Following information should be noted during testing

1. All voltage readings given in test procedures are based on values obtained using a standard DVOM such as Rotunda (007-00001) or Fluke (20 or 70 Series). To ensure actual A/C voltage readings taken are consistent with A/C voltage readings in PINPOINT TESTS, DO NOT use a RMS type meter (such as Fluke 8060a).
2. When instructed to inspect a wiring harness, perform both a visual inspection and a continuity test.
3. When making voltage checks, ground connections should be made at negative battery terminal or cast iron surface of engine.
4. When making measurements on a wiring harness or connector, perform a wiggle test while measuring.
5. When making voltage checks, ground readings are defined as a value of less than 1.0 volt. Battery voltage is defined as a value of more than 10 volts.
6. Circuits are identified in all capital letters; for example: PIP. Manufacturer's breakout box overlay test terminals are identified by a "J" prefix; for example: J15 (PIP). This indicates test terminal number and circuit identification.
7. Test procedures are intended to identify faulty components or wiring while fault present. If complaint is an intermittent condition, refer to the «TESTS W/O CODES - 5.8L EEC-IV»(ref-23634) article.

Note. Start all diagnostics with QUICK TEST. See procedures in TESTS W/CODES - 5.8L EEC-IV article. Following tests are dependent on results and diagnostic trouble codes received during QUICK TEST.

PINPOINT TEST A: NO START

1. 18) Check For SPOUT In Harness If engine starts in this step, continue testing. Turn diagnostic cable switch to SPOUT OPEN position. Measure voltage between J7 (B-) and J10 (SPOUT) while cranking engine. If AC voltage is 3.0-8.5 volts, replace ICM. If AC voltage is not 3.0-8.5 volts, go to next step.

7. 24) Check IGN GND At PCM Turn ignition off. Reconnect diagnostic cable to ICM. Measure resistance between breakout box test pin J7 (B-) and PCM wiring harness connector terminal No. 16 (IGN GND). If resistance less than 5 ohms, replace PCM. If resistance 5 ohms or more, go to next step.
8. 25) Check IGN GND At CMP Sensor Connect diagnostic cable to CMP sensor and sensor wiring harness connector. Measure resistance between J7 (B-) and J35 (IGN GND). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open IGN GND circuit between PCM and CMP sensor. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair IGN GND wire or replace CMP sensor (open circuit inside CMP sensor).
9. 26) Check PIP At CMP Sensor Turn diagnostic cable switch to PIP OPEN position. Connect diagnostic cable between CMP sensor and sensor wiring harness connector. Crank engine and measure voltage between J7 (B-) and J34 (PIP A). If AC voltage is 3.0-8.5 volts, repair PIP circuit between CMP sensor and PCM. If AC voltage is not 3.0-8.5 volts, repair PIP wire or replace CMP sensor (open circuit inside CMP sensor).

PINPOINT TEST D - KOER CODE 213: TIMING INCORRECT, SPOUT

OPEN, POOR FUEL ECONOMY OR POOR DRIVEABILITY

Use this pinpoint test to diagnose an intermittent engine stall but restarts complaint. Visually inspect engine compartment to ensure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires are properly routed and securely connected. Inspect wiring harnesses and connectors for damaged pins, corrosion and loose wires. If possible, talk to driver of vehicle to determine under what conditions problem occurs. Review vehicle service records to avoid repeat replacement of components.

1. An engine analyzer is used to diagnose problems in secondary side of ignition system.
2. Visually inspect engine compartment to ensure vacuum hoses and spark plug wires are properly routed and securely connected.
3. Examine all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage and burned, overheated, loose and broken conditions.
4. Ensure battery is fully charged and all accessories are turned off during testing.
5. Use an engine analyzer or lab scope and EI Adapter (Rotunda 007-00044) in these testing procedures. Check If Engine Will Start If engine starts, go to next step. If engine does not start, check ignition coil for damage or carbon tracking. Also, check coil wire resistance. Resistance should be 7000 ohms or less per foot. Repair as necessary. If coil and wire are okay, go to the «DISTRIBUTOR IGNITION PINPOINT TEST INDEX»(ref-23711-S20205869902001010300000) table. Viewing Ignition System Secondary Display Connect engine analyzer to view parade display of ignition system secondary. While slowly increasing engine speed from idle to 2000 RPM, compare engine analyzer display to illustrations. (Scheme 395) Illustrations shown are for a 4-cylinder engine but are typical for all EI engines.
