5.0l Eec Iv Tests W/codes Lincoln Mark VII I

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

There are 2 diagnostic procedure formats used to test and service the EEC-IV system: QUICK TEST and CIRCUIT TESTS. A DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM test chart is available to identify specific CIRCUIT TESTS.

Always start with the QUICK TEST procedures before attempting any CIRCUITS TESTS. If a vehicle passes the QUICK TEST procedures, the EEC-IV system is okay. Problem exists somewhere else besides the EEC IV system. If an intermittent driveability problem exists, use the KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST or the CONTINUOUS MONITOR SELF-TEST (WIGGLE TEST) to set a code and identify the problem.

Note. Procedures in the TESTING section are not in absolute numerical order. Procedures not related to this engine have been removed to eliminate confusion.

TEST EQUIPMENT

The following equipment is recommended to diagnose and test EEC-IV system. Some equipment is REQUIRED to perform tests. DO NOT attempt to test this system without proper equipment. Damage to vehicle components will result if improper equipment is used.

1. The Self-Test Automatic Read-Out (STAR) Diagnostic Tester (Rotunda 007 00004) is recommended but not required. It is specially built for the EEC-IV system and is used to display the 2-digit (numeral) service codes that are programmed into the control module. There are also a number of aftermarket testers available.
2. Analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM) with 0-20V DC range. This can be used as an alternate to diagnostic tester.
3. Digital Volt/Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm input impedance.
4. Breakout Box (Rotunda 014-00322). This is a jumper wire assembly which 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 using the probe from a DVOM will cause PERMANENT DAMAGE to the ECA 60-pin 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.
5. Vacuum gauge with 0-30 in. Hg range and resolution (units on scale) of 1 in. Hg.
6. Tachometer with 0-6000 RPM range, accuracy +/- 40 RPM, and a resolution of 20 RPM.
7. Vacuum pump with 0-30 in. Hg range.
8. Timing light.
9. Spark tester. A modified side electrode spark plug with the electrode removed and an alligator clip attached may be used.
10. Fuel Injection Pressure Gauge (T80L-9974-A).
11. 12-volt test light (non-powered type).
12. Jumper wire, about 15" long.
13. MAP/BP Tester. This unit plugs into MAP sensor circuit and DVOM to check input and output signals. The MAP sensor produces a frequency signal which may be checked using a scope with a millivolt scale.

SELF-TEST CONNECTOR LOCATIONS

On Mark VII models, the SELF-TEST connector is on the right side of the engine compartment, near firewall.

On Cougar and Thunderbird models, the SELF-TEST connector is on left front shock tower, above voltage regulator.

The Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Town Car have the SELF TEST connector on left fender apron, above wheelwell (near fuel pump relay).

All Mustang models have SELF-TEST connector on left rear corner of engine compartment.

DESCRIPTION OF TESTS

The QUICK TEST diagnostic procedure is a functional test of the EEC-IV system. It consists of 4 basic test steps. These basic steps must be carefully followed in sequence, otherwise misdiagnosis, or replacement of non-faulty components may result.

1. PREPARATION and EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP.
2. KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST.
3. KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST.
4. CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST.

After all tests, servicing, or repairs have been completed, repeat QUICK TEST to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly.

The KOEO and KOER SELF-TESTS are intended to detect faults present at the time of testing, not intermittent faults. Intermittent faults are detected by CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST and stored in the ECA memory.

Note. Correct test results for system are dependent on the correct operation of several related non-EEC components and systems. All non-EEC problems should be corrected before attempting to diagnose the EEC system.

PREPARATION

Before hooking up any equipment to diagnose the EEC system, make the following checks

1. Verify condition of air cleaner and air ducting.
2. Check all vacuum hoses for leaks, restrictions, and proper routing.
3. Check the EEC-IV system wiring harness electrical connections for corrosion, bent or broken pins, loose wires or terminals, and proper routing.
4. Check the ECA, sensors and actuators for physical damage.
5. Perform all necessary safety precautions to prevent personal injury or vehicle damage.
6. Set parking brake and place shift lever in "P" for automatic transmissions, and Neutral for manual transmissions. DO NOT move shift lever during testing unless specifically directed to do so.
7. Turn off all lights and accessories. Ensure vehicle doors are closed when making voltage or resistance readings.
8. Check engine coolant level.
9. 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.
10. Turn ignition key off. Service items as required, then go to «EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) .

Analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM)

1. Turn ignition key to "OFF" position. Connect jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to pin No. 2 (Signal Return) on SELF-TEST connector. Set VOM at 0-15V DC range and connect positive lead of VOM to positive battery terminal.
2. Connect negative VOM lead to pin No. 4 (STO) on SELF-TEST connector. (Scheme 41) Connect timing light, and go to «KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes).

STAR Tester

Turn ignition key to "OFF" position. Connect color coded adapter cable leads to diagnostic tester. Connect adapter cable's 2 service connectors to vehicle's SELF-TEST connectors. Connect timing light, then go to KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST .

Note. Diagnostic tester hookup instructions apply to STAR tester only. If other than STAR tester is being used, follow diagnostic tester manufacturer's instructions.

Equipment Hookup. Scheme 41

READING SELF-TEST CODES

Service codes are transmitted to Pin No. 4 (Self-Test Output) of SELF-TEST connector in the form of timed pulses. All service codes are 2 digit numbers which are generated one digit at a time. Codes are shown as voltage pulses (needle sweeps) on an analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM).

If a VOM is being used, pay careful attention to the length of the pauses in order to read the codes correctly. There will be a 2 second pause between each DIGIT in a code. There will be a 4 second pause between each CODE. The continuous memory codes are separated from the functional test service codes by a 6 second delay, a single 1/2 second sweep, and another 6 second delay. Always record the codes in the order received.

If a diagnostic tester is used, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. The STAR tester will add a zero (0) to single digit (Separator and Dynamic Response) codes. See CODE FORMAT DIAGRAMS. (Scheme 42)

If the "CHECK ENGINE" light is used, numeric service codes will be displayed at the light.

Separator Pulse

A single 1/2 second separator pulse is issued 6-9 seconds after last functional KOEO SELF-TEST code. Then 6-9 seconds after the single 1/2 second separator pulse, the continuous memory codes will be displayed.

Continuous Memory Codes

These codes are issued as a result of information stored during CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST. These codes are displayed during a KOEO SELF-TEST after the separator pulse code. These codes should be used for diagnosis, ONLY when KOEO and ENGINE RUNNING SELF-TESTS result in code 11 and all QUICK TEST steps have been successfully completed.

Note. If engine will not start, starts but stalls, idles rough or runs rough, go through KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST . If any of the above conditions are still present after a code 11 in the KOEO SELF-TEST, go to TEST A1 for a no start condition. If engine stalls or runs rough, go to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM table.

Code Format Diagrams. Scheme 42

Note. Correct test results for system are dependent on the correct operation of several related non-EEC components and systems. It may be necessary to correct faults in these areas before EEC-IV will pass QUICK TEST.

Verify that vehicle has been properly prepared. See PREPARATION and EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP . Turn ignition on to start SELF-TEST. DO NOT depress throttle during test. Observe and record all service codes.

Test Procedure

1. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position. Ensure all procedures of «PREPARATION»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__preparation) and «EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) have been followed. Engine should be at normal operating temperature.
2. Ensure VOM or tester is connected properly. Turn ignition on. If Star Tester is being used latch center button in down position at this time.
3. The ECA will run through a test cycle, opening and closing various solenoids and switches. After the completion of the test cycle the codes will appear. Record all codes.
4. The first set of codes to appear are the KOEO SELF-TEST codes, they will be repeated twice, followed by the Separator Pulse signal and then the CONTINUOUS MEMORY codes. These codes will also be repeated twice.
5. A KOEO code 11 indicates the system has passed the self test. A code 11 must be present before continuing. Disregard any CONTINUOUS MEMORY codes at this time. Service KOEO codes (in the order they appear) and rerun «KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) until a code 11 is displayed. See «KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) CODE-TO-CIRCUIT TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) tables.
6. Whenever a repair is made, repeat «QUICK TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) . If no codes are displayed, repeat SELF-TEST to verify that other service codes are still present.

No Starts

If engine does not start, go to TEST A1 , step 1). Proceed through this test procedure until engine is running and then repeat KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST . If engine stalls or is unable to complete KOEO SELF-TEST, DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM table may be used until engine is able to complete KOEO SELF-TEST.

KOEO Test Results

1. If KOEO code 11 is displayed and CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODE is 15, go to «TEST D15»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__test-d15-code-15-koeo) . If no codes are displayed, repeat SELF-TEST to verify that no service codes are present. If codes are not displayed, go to «TEST D14»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__test-d14-no-codescodes-not) , step 1).
2. 5.0L SEFI MUSTANG ONLY. If KOEO code 11 and continuous memory code 56 is displayed, go to «TEST B3»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__test-b3-mass-airflow-sensor) , step 10). If memory code 66 is displayed, go to TEST B3, step 6).

TIMING CHECK

1. Turn key off, wait 10 seconds. Start engine. Activate «KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) . After the last service code has been displayed, the timing will remain fixed for 2 minutes, unless SELF-TEST is deactivated.
2. Correct SELF-TEST timing equals base ignition timing (10 degrees BTDC on all engines) plus 17-23 degrees BTDC. If timing is not 27-33 degrees BTDC, go to «TEST D13»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__test-d13-spark-timing-check) . If timing is 27-33 degrees BTDC, proceed with «KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) .

1. Deactivate SELF-TEST (disconnect jumper wire). Start engine and run it at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes to warm up HEGO sensor. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds.
2. Start engine. Insert jumper to activate SELF-TEST. The engine ID code will be displayed.
3. If a Dynamic Response code occurs, briefly depress accelerator pedal to wide open throttle (WOT). A Dynamic Response code is a code 1 or 10 displayed after the Engine ID code and before the Engine Running codes. DO NOT depress throttle during test unless a Dynamic Response code occurs. The ENGINE RUNNING SELF-TEST service codes will then be displayed. Observe and record all codes.

Engine ID Codes

An engine ID code of 2 (20), 3 (30), or 4 (40) indicates 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engines, respectively.

KOER Test Results

1. If no codes are displayed, repeat SELF-TEST to verify that no service codes are present, and then go to «TEST D14»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__test-d14-no-codescodes-not) , step 1). If a code 98 appears in the Engine ID segment, with any other code, go back and perform «KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) and obtain a code 11 for KOEO portion of QUICK TEST. The code 98 indicates the vehicle DID NOT pass the KOEO test.
2. If Engine ID code is 2, 3 or 4 (20, 30 or 40 with STAR tester), and code 11 is displayed, KOER SELF-TEST portion is okay. If symptom was of an intermittent nature, go to «CONTINUOUS MONITOR SELF TEST (WIGGLE TEST)»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__continuous-monitor-self-test-wiggle-test) . If symptom is present, go to «DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) table.
3. If Engine ID code is 2, 3 or 4 (20, 30 or 40 with STAR tester), and any code other than 11 appears, KOER SELF-TEST indicates a fault. Perform the test indicated in the «KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) CODE-TO-CIRCUIT TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) table for that specific engine.
4. Start with the first code displayed. If the tests refer you to other checks, perform them as instructed. When more than one code is displayed, repair problems in the order that codes are displayed. Whenever a repair is made repeat «QUICK TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) .

CONTINUOUS MONITOR SELF-TEST (WIGGLE TEST)

The CONTINUOUS MONITOR SELF-TEST allows a technician to attempt to recreate an intermittent fault while monitoring the system. The CONTINUOUS MONITOR SELF-TEST may be used in both KOEO and KOER modes.

The test is divided into 4 areas: Establishing Continuous Memory Codes, Clearing Continuous Memory Codes, Continuous Memory Codes To Be Tested, and Continuous Monitor (Wiggle) Test. Perform steps in sequence.

Establishing Continuous Memory Codes

1. To ensure proper diagnosis of continuous memory codes, «PREPARATION»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__preparation) , EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP, KOEO SELF-TEST, TIMING CHECK, and «KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) must be successfully completed. If both KOEO and KOER SELF-TEST display code 11 (Pass), go to CLEARING CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES.
2. If not, return to PREPARATION step and make the necessary repairs indicated in «KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) and «KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) before going to CLEARING CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES.

Clearing Continuous Memory Codes

Perform KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST . When the first service code appears, exit SELF-TEST by disconnecting diagnostic tester or by removing jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail. Exiting QUICK TEST in this manner will clear all codes stored in continuous memory.

Continuous Memory Codes To Be Tested

Check the list of Continuous Memory codes that were recorded in KOEO and KOER SELF-TESTS. Disregard any codes that have already been repaired. To confirm remaining codes, go to CONTINUOUS MONITOR SELF-TEST (WIGGLE TEST) .

Continuous Monitor (Wiggle) Test

The Self-Test Output (STO) will be activated each time a fault is detected. If the STO is activated long enough during the wiggle tests a service code will be stored. A fault is indicated by needle sweep deflection on analog Volt/Ohm Meter (VOM). The STAR tester LED will flash and/or sound an alarm signal when fault is recreated. The CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST is used to attempt to recreate an intermittent fault.

1. KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) Test: Connect STAR tester or VOM. Turn ignition key to "ON" position. Activate, deactivate and reactivate SELF-TEST (3 steps) by connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting STI pigtail jumper. This procedure will place the system in Continuous Monitor Mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code will be stored in memory and will be indicated by VOM or diagnostic tester. Retrieve code and perform test indicated in «CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) table.
2. ENGINE RUNNING Test: Start engine. Activate SELF-TEST, wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate SELF-TEST. DO NOT turn engine off. You are now in engine running Continuous Monitor Mode test mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code will be stored in memory and will be indicated by VOM or diagnostic tester. Retrieve code and perform test indicated in «CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) table.

Note. An alternate method of entering CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST with engine running is to start KOER SELF-TEST, exit, and re-enter KOER SELF-TEST without turning off engine. If alternate method is being used, perform the following steps.

1. Observe VOM while moving, wiggling, and tapping system harness (in short sections), connectors, and sensors. If an intermittent condition is created, the monitor will indicate this by storing a service code. Carefully inspect harness and associated connectors of affected circuits.
2. If an intermittent condition is not created, carefully disconnect sensor from harness. Remove terminals from connector and visually inspect terminals at both ends for corrosion, bad crimps, improperly seated terminals, etc.
3. Reconnect harness after inspection. Disconnect ECA from harness as carefully as possible. Remove and inspect terminals associated with sensor being checked.
4. If an intermittent condition cannot be created, plug-in connector and erase the CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST service codes. To erase service codes, activate KOEO SELF-TEST.
5. Remove jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) terminal as soon as first code appears. Repeat SELF-TEST with jumper to verify that service codes have been erased. QUICK TEST is complete.

Dynamic Response Check

The dynamic response check verifies movement of the TPS, and MAP sensor during the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) part of the ENGINE RUNNING SELF-TEST. The signal to perform WOT is a single pulse when using VOM or code 10 on STAR tester.

Output State Check

The Output State Check is used as an aid in servicing output actuators associated with the EEC-IV system. It allows you to energize and de-energize most of the system output actuators on and off on command.

This mode is entered after all codes have been received from KOEO and CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST. At this time, leave SELF-TEST activated and depress throttle. Each time throttle is depressed and released, the output actuators will change state (go from on to off, or off to on).

Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM) - (Code 98)

The FMEM mode allows system operation when one or more sensors fail or transmit signals which are out of their normal operating range. The ECA will substitute a mid-range signal for the defective sensor and continue to monitor the sensor. If the faulty sensor signals return to within the normal operating range the ECA will use those signals. A code 98 will be displayed when the FMEM mode is in effect.

6. Using Fuel Injector Tester/Cleaner (Rotunda 113-00001), check flow of injectors.

HOW TO USE CIRCUIT TESTS

1. DO NOT perform any CIRCUIT TEST unless directed to do so by QUICK TEST. 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. DO NOT measure voltage or resistance at ECA or connect any test light, unless specified. All measurements are made by probing REAR of connector. Isolate both ends of a circuit and turn key off whenever checking for shorts or continuity, unless specified. NOTE: When directed in testing procedure to service or repair TFI ignition system, see MOTORCRAFT TFI-IV IGNITION article in the DISTRIBUTORS & IGNITION SYSTEMS section.
3. Disconnect solenoids and switches from harness before measuring continuity, resistance, or applying 12 volts. After each repair, check all component connections and repeat CIRCUIT TEST(S).
4. An "open" is defined as any resistance reading greater than 5 ohms. This specification tolerance may be too high for some items in the EEC-IV system. If a resistance approaches 5 ohms, always clean the suspected connector and coat with protective dielectric silicone grease. A "short" is defined as any resistance reading less than 10K ohms to ground, unless specified in CIRCUIT TEST.
5. On FUEL CONTROL CIRCUIT TESTS C1 and C2, to prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may also be at fault. These areas include ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires, fouled spark plugs, CANP 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. NOTE: Fuel contaminated engine oil may affect some service codes. If this is suspected, remove PCV valve from valve cover and repeat «QUICK TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes) . If problem is corrected, change engine oil and filter.
6. On FUEL CONTROL CIRCUIT TESTS C1 and C2, vacuum leaks in non-EEC related areas may also cause code 41 or 91 to be displayed. Check for unmetered air leaks between airflow meter and throttle body, leaking vacuum motors, engine seals, EGR system, PCV system, Canister Purge (CANP) problems, or contaminated HEGO sensor. Code 42 or 92 may be caused by fuel contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire, EGR system, or CANP problems. NOTE: In the following diagnostic charts, circuits and illustrations are supplied courtesy of Ford Motor Co. NOTE: CIRCUIT TESTS are grouped in the following categories.

2. Checking Power to Tester - With MAP/BP tester connected, turn key on. If only Green light on tester is lit, VREF is correct. Go to step 4). If "LESS THAN 4 VOLTS" Red light or no lights come on, VREF is too low. If "MORE THAN 6 VOLTS" Red light comes on, VREF is too high. If VREF is too high or too low, go to next step.
3. VREF Testing - With MAP/BP tester connected, turn key on. Disconnect MAP sensor and repeat step 2). If only Green light comes on, VREF is correct. Replace MAP sensor. Repeat «QUICK TEST»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes). If "LESS THAN 4 VOLTS" Red light or no lights come on, VREF is too low. If "MORE THAN 6 VOLTS" Red light comes on, VREF is too high. If VREF is too high or too low, remove MAP/BP tester, connect sensor, then go to «TEST A3»(/lincoln/mark-vii/i-1984-1992/remont/testing-diagnostics/#50l-eec-iv-tests-wcodes__test-a3-reference-voltage), step 1).
4. Tester Output Reading - With MAP/BP tester connected and key on, measure sensor output voltage.

TEST D25 - AXOD TRANSAXLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

This test should be performed ONLY if a problem has been detected in transaxle. If any of these service codes appeared during SELF-TESTS, the AXOD DRIVE CYCLE TEST should be performed. The following AXOD transaxle related items have malfunctioned or failed as indicated

1. Code 39 Displayed: Transaxle converter by-pass clutch is not operating properly.
2. Code 59 Displayed: THS 4/3 pressure switch circuit has failed open.
3. Code 62 Displayed: THS 4/3 pressure switch circuit failed closed. If code appears in KOEO SELF-TEST, THS 3/2 circuit has failed. If code appears in ENGINE RUNNING SELF-TEST, THS 4/3 circuit has failed. If code appears in both SELF-TESTS, both circuits have failed and must be checked.
4. Code 69 Displayed: THS 3/2 circuit has failed open.
5. Code 89 Displayed: Transaxle converter by-pass clutch solenoid has stayed always open or closed.

The following service codes are not AXOD transaxle related, but can affect converter clutch by-pass operation. Service these components before servicing AXOD transaxle codes

1. Code 21 Displayed: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor out of range.
2. Code 22 Displayed: Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor out of range.
3. Code 23 Displayed: Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) out of range.
4. Code 24 Displayed: Air Charge Temperature (ACT) sensor out of range.
5. Code 29 Displayed: Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) not functioning.

The following service code indicates that a transaxle component may have caused faulty engine idle speed control

1. Code 57 Displayed: Neutral Pressure Switch (NPS) failed in Neutral (open). The NPS is normally open and closes with hydraulic pressure. Failure of transaxle to engage in "D" or "R" Will cause service code 57 to be displayed. Check for proper hydraulic pressure before testing AXOD transaxle electrical components.

Note. Ensure that all components are connected before performing test. Perform AXOD DRIVE CYCLE TEST on a slight upgrade or flat terrain. If any other non-AXOD related codes appear, service those codes first as they could affect electrical operation of transaxle.

AXOD Drive Cycle Test

Record and zero service codes. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. With transaxle in "D" range, lightly accelerate from a stop to 40 MPH to allow transaxle to shift into 3rd gear. Hold speed and throttle opening steady for a minimum of 15 seconds (30 seconds above 4000 feet altitude).

Shift transaxle into overdrive and accelerate lightly from 40 to 50 MPH to allow transaxle to shift into 4th gear. Hold speed and throttle opening for a minimum of 15 seconds.

With transaxle in 4th gear, throttle open and a steady speed, lightly apply and release brakes (enough to illuminate brake lights). Hold speed and throttle opening steady for a minimum of 15 seconds.

Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds with transaxle in overdrive. Perform QUICK TEST and record service codes.
