INTRODUCTION
Ensure all steps in the BASIC TESTING article have been followed. If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING , proceed with self-diagnostics. If no service codes (and ONLY pass codes) are found during self-diagnostics, proceed to the TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis of intermittents or driveability symptoms.
DIAGNOSTIC FORMATS
The EEC system uses 3 diagnostic formats: DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINES, QUICK TESTS and CIRCUIT TESTS (TESTS A1 to D3). The DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINES format categorizes the problem by symptom and directs the technician to the most logical procedure. QUICK TEST procedures allow the technician to identify problem(s), and to retrieve and record service codes.
Note. Always start with the QUICK TEST procedures before attempting any CIRCUIT TESTS. The QUICK TEST procedures allow the technician to retrieve and identify any service codes which are used as a reference to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST.
The CIRCUIT TESTS give procedures for testing circuits, sensors and actuators. If a vehicle passes all QUICK TEST procedures, and there are no driveability symptoms or intermittent faults, the EEC system is okay.
SERVICE CODE DESCRIPTION
There are 2 types of service codes retrieved in the QUICK TEST procedures
- Key On Engine Off (KOEO)
- Key On Engine Running (KOER)
Codes may be cleared from the ECA memory after they have been recorded or repaired. See RETRIEVING & CLEARING CODES .
KOEO & KOER CODES (HARD FAULTS)
These codes indicate a hard fault that is actually present at the time of testing. These hard faults may cause the CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light to come on and remain on until the fault is repaired. If KOEO or KOER codes are retrieved during the Self-Test, see SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHART under HOW TO USE CIRCUIT TESTS for testing and repair.
INTERMITTENT FAULTS
These faults indicate a defect that may or may not be present at the time of testing. Some faults may illuminate the CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light. If the fault does not reoccur, the code will continue to be stored in the ECA until erased.
Intermittent faults may be caused by sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in the H - "Engine Type" TESTS W/O CODES article. Service codes may be cleared from memory by the technician. See RETRIEVING & CLEARING CODES.
RETRIEVING & CLEARING CODES
Note. The EEC system will not display a PASS code.
RETRIEVING CODES
Service codes are retrieved from the EEC system through the Self-Test connector by using a Scan tool, analog volt/ohmmeter or the CHECK ENGINE light. 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.
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 must be serviced in the order in which they appear. Use the appropriate service code chart to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST.
If a Scan tool diagnostic tester is used, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. The SUPER STAR II tester will add a zero (0) to single digit codes. (Scheme 1)
Scheme 1
If an analog voltmeter or the CHECK ENGINE light is being used, pay careful attention to the length of the pauses between signals in order to read the codes correctly. The first digit in a service code will be indicated by 1.2 second signals separated by a 0.4 second pause. There is a 1.6 second pause between the first digit and second digit. The second digit is indicated by 0.4 second signals separated by 0.4 second pauses. There will be a 4 second pause between each service code.
CLEARING CODES
To clear trouble codes, run the KOEO SELF-TEST. Deactivate the Self-Test by disconnecting the jumper wire from the STI connector. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable and depress the brake pedal for 5-10 seconds. The STI connector is located at the left rear of the engine compartment.
| Application | Location |
|---|---|
| Probe 4-Cylinder | Engine Compartment Near Left Strut Tower |
SELF-TEST CONNECTOR LOCATION
KOEO & KOER SELF-TEST CODES
All service codes are output by the ECA, 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 SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHART to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST.
If a Scan tool is used, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. Codes are shown as voltage pulses (needle sweeps) on an analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM). If the CHECK ENGINE light is used, service codes will be displayed as flashes.
Pay careful attention to the length of the pauses to read the codes correctly. There will be a O.4 second pause between the number of sweeps or flashes indicating a digit and a 1.6 second pause between each digit in a code. There will be a 4 second pause between each code.
TEST EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is recommended to diagnose and test the EEC system. Some equipment is REQUIRED to perform tests. DO NOT attempt to test this system without proper equipment. Damage to vehicle components may result if improper equipment is used.
- The Self-Test Automatic Read-Out (SUPER STAR II) diagnostic tester is recommended but not required. It is specially built for EEC systems and is used to display the 2-digit (numeric) service codes that are programmed into the control module. Aftermarket Scan tools are also available.
- Analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM) with 0-20V DC range. This can be used, as an alternative to a diagnostic tester, to read codes only.
- Digital Volt/Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm input impedance.
- Breakout Box. This is a jumper wire assembly that connects between the vehicle harness and the ECA. The breakout box is required to perform certain tests on the system. Ford Motor Co. specifically states that back-probing will cause PERMANENT DAMAGE to the ECA connector. The test pin No. called out in CIRCUIT TESTS refers to test pin numbers on breakout box. Once the breakout box has been installed during a test sequence, it may remain connected for the remainder of that test unless otherwise specified. Aftermarket breakout boxes are available.
- Vacuum gauge with 0-30 in. Hg range and resolution (units on scale) of 1 in. Hg.
- Tachometer with 0-6000 RPM range, accuracy +/- 40 RPM, and a resolution of 20 RPM.
- Vacuum pump with 0-30 in. Hg range.
- Timing light.
- Spark Tester (D81P-6666-A or ST-125). A modified side electrode spark plug IS NOT sufficient for these testing procedures.
- Fuel Injection Pressure Gauge (T80L-9974-A).
- 12-volt test light (non-powered type).
- Jumper wire, about 15" long.
When servicing the EEC system, always refer to the DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE charts and QUICK TESTS before using CIRCUIT TESTS. The DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE charts identify specific problems and refer the technician to specific repair areas, QUICK TESTS or CIRCUIT 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 system is okay. Problem exists somewhere other than the EEC system.
DESCRIPTION
The QUICK TEST diagnostic procedure is a functional test of the EEC system. It consists of 4 basic test steps
- VISUAL CHECK & VEHICLE PREPARATION
- EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP
- KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST
- KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST
These basic steps must be carefully followed in sequence, otherwise misdiagnosis, or replacement of non-faulty components may result. The QUICK TEST procedures should be used only when you are directed here by the DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE charts. Anytime a repair is made.
- The negative (-) battery cable should be disconnected.
- The brake pedal should be depressed for 5-10 seconds.
- The Self-Test sequence should be repeated to ensure the repair was effective and no codes are present.
Note. Correct test results depend on the correct operation of 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
- Verify condition of air cleaner and air ducting.
- Check all vacuum hoses for leaks, restrictions, and proper routing.
- Check the EEC system wiring harness electrical connections for corrosion, bent or broken pins, loose wires or terminals, and proper routing.
- Check the ECA, sensors and actuators for physical damage.
- Check engine coolant level.
- Perform all necessary safety precautions to prevent personal injury or vehicle damage.
- Set parking brake and place shift lever in Park for automatic transmissions, and Neutral for manual transmissions. DO NOT move shift lever during test unless specifically directed to do so.
- Turn off all lights and accessories. Ensure vehicle doors are closed when making voltage or resistance readings.
- 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.
- Turn ignition off. Service items as required, then go to EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP.
ANALOG VOLT/OHMMETER (VOM)
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect a jumper wire from Self-Test connector STI terminal to ground. Set VOM at 0-20V DC range, and connect positive (+) lead of VOM to Self-Test connector STO terminal. Connect the negative (-) test lead to engine ground. (Scheme 2)
SUPER STAR II TESTER
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect color coded adapter cable leads to diagnostic tester. Connect service adapter cables to vehicle Self-Test connectors. Ground the adapter cable. Slide switch to MECS position.
"CHECK ENGINE" MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
Connect a jumper wire between the STI connector and ground. (Scheme 2)
Scheme 2
KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST
Note. The following items should be noted before beginning KOEO test procedure
- DO NOT depress throttle during KOEO SELF-TEST.
- When the ignition key is turned to the ON position, a 3-second series of signals will be displayed.
- It may be necessary to repair non-electronic faults before running the QUICK TEST procedures.
- If no codes are displayed or a 00 is displayed on the Scan tool, proceed to the KOER SELF-TEST.
- If no codes are displayed and vehicle is a no start, or if a code is displayed but CHECK ENGINE light does not light prior to activating Self-Test, proceed to TEST D3.
TEST PROCEDURE
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Ensure all procedures of PREPARATION & EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP have been followed. Engine should be at normal operating temperature.
Disconnect and reconnect the jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to ground. Turn ignition on. Record displayed codes. Erase codes and repeat test procedure to ensure all codes are currently valid. Service only those codes which appear during the re-test. Refer to SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHART to find the appropriate CIRCUIT TEST.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect a jumper wire between the STI connector and ground. (Scheme 2) Observe MIL light, and record pulses to determine codes stored.
Set center button in the TEST position. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Turn tester on. When activated, the tester should display 888 for 2 seconds. Release and reset button in the TEST position. After all codes are received, release center button. All codes received in tester memory may now be reviewed.
KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST
Note. The following items should be noted before beginning KOER test procedure
- DO NOT depress throttle during KOER SELF-TEST.
- Clear all codes before proceeding with this test.
- Ensure a 00 pass code is displayed or no codes are present during the KOEO SELF-TEST before proceeding with this test.
- If no codes are displayed and vehicle is a no start, or if a code is displayed but CHECK ENGINE light does not light prior to activating Self-Test, proceed to TEST D3.
1) Deactivate Self-Test. Ensure vehicle is at normal operating temperature. Start engine and run at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes to ensure EGO sensor is operating.
1) Set center button in the TEST position. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Turn ignition on and wait 10 seconds. Start engine, and let it idle.
2) To activate Self-Test, release and reset button in the TEST position. Record all codes displayed. Refer to SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHART to find the appropriate CIRCUIT TEST.

2) Activate Self-Test by connecting STI jumper to ground. Record all codes displayed. Refer to SERVICE CODE REFERENCE CHART to find the appropriate CIRCUIT TEST.
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 the specific CIRCUIT TESTS (TESTS A1 to D3).
3) DO NOT measure voltage or resistance at ECA or connect any test light, unless specified in testing procedure. DO NOT pierce wiring. If backprobing is specified, always backprobe harness side of connector, never the connector side. Isolate both ends of a circuit and turn key off whenever checking for shorts or continuity, unless specified.
4) Unless otherwise specified, an open circuit is defined as a circuit which has a resistance greater than 5 ohms. Disconnect solenoids and switches before checking circuit continuity or energizing solenoids.
5) A short is defined as any resistance to ground of less than 10,000 ohms, unless otherwise specified.

If clicking sound is heard, ISC solenoid is functioning okay. Fault is in another circuit or ECA. If not, go to step 3.
3) Check Voltage To ISC Solenoid Locate ISC solenoid mounted on throttle body. Disconnect solenoid connector. With ignition on, measure voltage between VPWR (Red/Black) wire and ground. If voltage reading is less than 10 volts, repair VPWR wire to main relay. If voltage reading is more than 10 volts, GO TO STEP 4.
4) Warm to operating temperature. Turn engine off. Measure voltage between ISC solenoid VPWR and ISC (White/Black) wire while cranking engine. Replace solenoid if voltage is more than 10 volts. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step.
5) ISC Circuit Continuity Check With breakout box installed and ECA disconnected, remove solenoid connector. Check for continuity between breakout box pin No. 41 and ISC connector (White) wire. If continuity does not exist, repair ISC (White) wire between solenoid and ECA.
6) If continuity is present, check for continuity between breakout box pin No. 41 and all other test pins. If continuity is found between breakout box pin No. 41 and another test pin(s), ISC wire is shorted to that circuit. Repair as necessary and recheck circuit. If all circuits are okay, replace ECA.

BOOST CIRCUIT PIN IDENTIFICATION
1) Checking System Integrity Visually check all wiring, harness connectors and components for evidence of damage, overheating, shorting or looseness. If a fault is found, repair as necessary. If no faults are found, go to next step.
2) Checking Solenoid Function Install breakout box and leave ECA disconnected. Turn ignition on. Locate boost solenoid mounted on lower side of turbocharger. Apply vacuum to boost solenoid. Vacuum should hold. Jumper breakout box test pin No. 31 to ground. If vacuum is held, solenoid is functioning okay. Fault is in another circuit or ECA. If not, go to step 3.
3) Check Voltage To Boost Control Solenoid Disconnect solenoid connector. With ignition on, measure voltage between VPWR and ground. If voltage reading is less than 10 volts, repair VPWR wire to main relay. If voltage reading is more than 10 volts, measure voltage between solenoid VPWR and BOOST wire (ignition on).
4) Activate solenoid by quickly increasing engine speed above 4500 RPM. Replace solenoid if voltage is more than 10 volts, when activated. If voltage is less than 10 volts, go to next step.
5) Circuit Continuity Check With breakout box installed and ECA disconnected, remove BOOST solenoid connector. Check for continuity between BOOST test pin and BOOST solenoid wire. If continuity does not exist, repair BOOST circuit between solenoid and ECA.
6) If continuity is present, check for continuity between BOOST test pin and all other test pins. If continuity is found between BOOST test pin and another test pins, BOOST wire is shorted to that circuit. Repair as necessary and recheck circuit. If all circuits are okay, replace ECA.
