Affected title branded & salvaged vehicles are eligible for this Field Service Action.

Q1. What is the Universal Fused Jumper Harness?
A. The Universal Fused Jumper Harness contains a fuse in each side of the circuit to accommodate polarity complexity across vehicle lines, and a connector hardshell that is compatible with all Speed Control Deactivation Switches.
Q2. Why are the Speed Control Deactivation Switches not interchangeable on all vehicle applications?
A. Differences in Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) activation pressures make it essential that the correct SCDS is installed in the specified vehicle application.
Q3. Can I just remove the fuse for the Speed Control System circuit?
A. No. Removing the fuse will disable more systems on the vehicle than just the Speed Control System.
Q4. Can the customer disconnect the Speed Control Deactivation Switch connector?
A. No. To ensure that the correct connector is disconnected, a dealership technician should perform this service.
Q5. Is the Speed Control Deactivation Switch located on the vehicle steering wheel?
A. No. The Speed Control Deactivation Switch is typically mounted to the brake master cylinder under the hood. On some of the earlier built vehicles, the SCDS was mounted to a junction block or brake proportioning valve located below the master cylinder on or near the frame rail.
Q6. Can customers avoid overheating the switch by not using the Speed Control System?
A. No. The electrical circuit to the Speed Control Deactivation Switch is always energized, so not using the Speed Control System doesn't reduce the potential for overheating of the switch.

SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (SCDS) REPLACEMENT
NOTE: The brake pedal must not be depressed during the removal and replacement of the SCDS.

1. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder and, if necessary, fill to maximum fluid level. NOTICE: DO NOT apply fluid to the electrical connector or damage to the connector may occur. NOTICE: The 1994 Capri Brake Repair Kit contains a brass sealing washer. Install the brass washer onto the SCDS before installing it on the vehicle.
2. Add a few drops of Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, PM1-1 or PM-1-C (US), CPM-1-C (Canada), to the fluid port at the threaded end of the new SCDS. NOTICE: Do not allow any foreign material to enter the master cylinder port once the SCDS is removed. NOTE: Call the Special Service Support Center for assistance if brake fluid does not flow from the SCDS fitting when the SCDS is removed. NOTE: If the new SCDS is not installed immediately after the original switch is removed, the master cylinder brake fluid could drop below the minimum level and air could enter the brake system. If this should occur, air must be bled from the brake system at all 4 wheels. In this situation, the labor to bleed the brake system will not be covered under this program.
3. Remove the SCDS.
4. With the brake fluid reservoir cap removed, observe for brake fluid dripping/draining from the SCDS fitting. As soon as brake fluid begins to bleed from the fitting, install the new SCDS.
5. Tighten the new SCDS as follows:
^ 18 Nm (159 lb-in) - all vehicles except 1994 Capri.
^ 13 Nm (115 lb-in) - 1994 Capri.
6. Check the brake fluid level at the master cylinder, fill to maximum fluid level and install the brake fluid reservoir cap.
7. Disconnect the speed control servo and inspect the vehicle harness connector for heat damage.
^ If no heat damage is found at the speed control servo connector (even if there is presence of brake fluid in the connector), proceed to the next step.
^ If the speed control servo connector is heat damaged, call the Special Service Support Center for further instructions.
8. With the speed control servo disconnected, use shop air only to blow the SCDS harness electrical connector and the servo connector dry of any trace of brake fluid. Do not use any type of solvent to clean the connectors.
9. Cut approximately 3 mm (1/8 in) off the grease tube applicator tip.
10. Before installing the jumper harness, fill the vehicle harness end of the jumper (male pin connector end) with Motorcraft Electrical Grease II XG-15-A.
11. Install the adapter jumper harness by connecting it to both the SCDS and the vehicle harness. Using the provided tie strap, secure the jumper harness to a nearby component such as the speed control cable or another wire harness. NOTICE: Be sure to apply and adequate amount of grease to the vehicle harness connector only. DO NOT apply the grease directly to the connector of the servo module.
12. Apply a 5 mm (3/16 in) high bead of Motorcraft Electrical Grease II XG-15-A across the entire width and length of the servo vehicle harness connector.

Field Service Action 05S28 Speed Control System Modification
Supplement #7 (THIS BULLETIN HAS BEEN REVISED SEVERAL TIMES, SO THE INFORMATION BELOW IS NOT CURRENT.)
Check the Ford website &/or the NHTSA to see if your VIN is affected.



Applies to certain vehicles equipped with speed control:
1994-1996 Bronco
1994-2002 F-150/250 (Under 8500 GVW)
1997- 2002 Expedition

OVERVIEW :
This program involves performing an inspection procedure to determine which repairs to the speed control system must be performed; either installation of a fused jumper harness or replacement of the speed control deactivation switch. A flow chart has been developed to direct you to the proper service actions.

NOTE: Disconnecting the battery is no longer required when performing these repairs.

INSPECTION - ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES
1. Disconnect the speed control deactivation switch located on the brake master cylinder and inspect the harness connector for the presence of brake fluid. See Figure 1.
a. If no brake fluid is present, install the fused jumper harness (Labor Operation D).
b. If brake fluid is present, disconnect the speed control servo and inspect the vehicle harness connector for heat damage. See Figure 2.
c. If no heat damage is found at the speed control servo connector (even if there is presence of brake fluid in the connector), proceed to Labor Operation E.
d. If the speed control servo connector is heat damaged, call the Special Service Support Center for further instructions.

LABOR OPERATION D - APPLIES TO VEHICLES WITH NON-LEAKING SWITCHES

1.a. Connect the fused jumper harness (14A411) to the speed control deactivation switch and the vehicle harness.
b. Position the harness alongside the existing harness, located below the master cylinder, so that the fuse holder is higher than the rest of the jumper harness. This will cause any water that enters the engine compartment and gets on the jumper harness to run downhill away from the fuse holder.
c. Secure the jumper to the existing harness with tie straps, making sure the fuse holder is positioned vertically with the cap facing upwards. Wrap the tie straps underneath, then over the top of the existing harness and verify proper fuse holder orientation.
2. Release the vehicle.

LABOR OPERATION E - APPLIES TO VEHICLES WITH LEAKING SWITCHES

1. Remove the speed control deactivation switch from the brake master cylinder. CAUTION: Do not allow any foreign material to enter the master cylinder port once the deactivation switch is removed.
2. Add a few drops of MotorCraft High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid, PM-1, to the fluid port at the threaded end of the new deactivation switch. CAUTION: DO NOT apply fluid to the electrical connector.
3. Install the new speed control deactivation switch into the master cylinder and tighten to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft).
4. With the speed control servo disconnected, use shop air only to blow the speed control deactivation switch harness electrical connector and the servo connector dry of any trace of brake fluid. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF SOLVENT TO CLEAN THE CONNECTORS.
5. Apply Ford Electrical Grease F8AZ-19G208-AA into each cavity of the vehicle harness connector only. It is not necessary to apply grease to the servo side of the connector.
6. Reconnect the servo connector.
7. Install the adapter jumper harness by connecting it to both the deactivation switch and the vehicle harness. Using the provided tie strap, secure the jumper harness to a nearby component such as the speed control cable or another wire harness.
8. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder and adjust if necessary.
9. Release the vehicle.

These are NOT "Secondary Cruise Control Deactivator Switches (SCCDSs)" MY MISTAKE; they are "Speed Control Deactivator Switches" (SCDSs). The recall part is available as Ford XW7Z-9F924-BA, Motorcraft SW6350, or Standard CCR1. But it's free at any Ford/L/M dealership, and if they don't do it, it'll stay attached to the VIN as an open safety recall. So take it in for the FREE repair. They will likely offer to do ADDITIONAL work at your expense, but none of that is necessary to get the recall done FREE.

This harness is a temporary way to make the old red switch reasonably safe to continue using until more of the black switches become available. See the FSA:
.

List price on this is ~$11 (as of the date I posted the pic), but it will be installed at NO CHARGE (parts or labor) on vehicles covered by the recall. Even though the label is wrong about the fuse being internal, it should still NEVER be replaced. If it blows, it means the brake pressure switch is leaking, and (as the label states) should be replaced with the new switch & adapter harness kit, listing for ~$20 right now.

TSB88-05-14OilGauge.jpg | Hits: 14934 | Size: 40.75 KB | Posted on: 4/19/09 | Link to this image


Ford intentionally faked-out the '87-up oil gauge to stop people from complaining about NORMAL gauge movements. With this mod (included at the factory on most vehicles with a gauge cluster), the ONLY normal movement of the needle is from low peg (key off, or key on-engine off, or engine running with no oil pressure) to mid-scale (engine running with 6psi or greater). Any OTHER needle movement indicates an ELECTRICAL fault - usually at the instrument cluster film circuit connector. If the needle drops to 0 with the engine running, the switch diaphragm is leaking from the oil side to the electrical side, which balances the pressure and makes the switch think there's no oil. If the engine is off long enough, that oil will leak out of the switch onto the ground, and it may show pressure next time the engine runs, until it fills up again.

On most Fords, the oil sender wire is Wh/R.

TSB 88-05-14 Oil Pressure Gauge

Publication Date: MARCH 2, 1988

LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-88 F-SERIES, BRONCO

ISSUE: An oil pressure gauge that indicates an erratic or low reading when the engine oil pressure is within specification may be caused by the oil pressure sender (EOAZ-9278-A). The oil pressure sender may not work properly with the magnetic oil pressure gauge.

ACTION: To correct this, install a new design oil pressure switch and new design resistor wire assembly using the following service procedure. Refer to the oil pressure switch and resistor wire application chart for the correct service parts.

OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND RESISTOR WIRE APPLICATION CHART
Engine Application Description Service Part No.
5.0L, 5.8L, 7.3L and 7.5L Oil Pressure Switch E6SZ-9278-A
4.9L Oil Pressure Switch E8TZ-9278-A
All Resistor Wire Assembly E6SZ-9F291-A

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the existing oil pressure sender.
2. Install the new design oil pressure switch. Torque oil pressure switch to 10-18 lbs-ft (13-34 N-m).
3. Connect the female terminal end of the 20 ohm resister wire assembly to the oil pressure switch.

TSB 95-13-02 Erratic Temperature Sender F1SZ10884A,SW2328, or DOWY10884A

Factory temperature senders with a date code before 2774 are known to be defective. The code is stamped into the side of the hex. The format is the Julian date & the last digit of the year, so that's the 277th day of 1994. So 0085 is good; 1934 is bad; 3034 is good; 2765 is good; 3582 is bad.

If you're having trouble with your temp gauge, try to read the date off the sender before any other diagnosis. A new sender from NAPA is under $10.

LOCATION:
The smallblock V8 location is the top L front of the intake manifold beside the distributor.
The I6 location is the RHR side of the head, below the exhaust manifold, facing the HVAC blower housing. It's barely visible looking up between the frame & RHF wheelwell behind the tire. It's difficult to reach above the starter.

TESTING:
Pull the R/Wh wire's terminal off the threaded stud and ground it to the engine block. Turn the key to RUN. The gauge should peg hot within a second or 2. If it moves slowly or doesn't go to peg, the circuit has high resistance between the terminal & the gauge (possibly at the cluster connector). If it doesn't move, either the R/Wh circuit is open, or the gauge is dead. If it pegs hot even when disconnected, the wire is pinched to ground somewhere.

The sender should test at 74 Ohms cold; 9.7 Ohms hot.

TSB 89-02-07 Speedometer Accuracy

Publication Date: JANUARY 25, 1989

FORD: 1989 and prior ALL CAR LINES
LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1989 and prior ALL CAR LINES
LIGHT TRUCK: 1989 and prior ALL TRUCK LINES
MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK: 1989 and prior ALL MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK LINES

ISSUE: The accuracy of speedometer/odometer readings may be influenced by several vehicle components or systems. The information in this TSB article is intended to assist technicians in speedometer/odometer concern diagnosis.

ACTION: Use the following supplemental information to assist in speedometer/odometer diagnostics.

OPERATION: A mechanical analog speedometer displays vehicle speed and the odometer displays total distance traveled. The speedometer/odometer assembly is cable driven by either a transmission or a transaxle. All speedometer/odometer assemblies, except for police vehicles are the same with respect to the speed accuracy tolerance used during calibration. The odometer gear ratio is fixed so that all are identical and have no error in the speedometer head.

Electronic digital operation is similar. It could use a drive cable or a speed sensor to drive the speedometer/odometer. An electronic signal is sent from a speed sensor to the digital speedometer/odometer assembly. The speed sensor is driven by a transmission or a transaxle, similar to a cable.

Several areas of concern that may affect speedometer/odometer readings are tires, axle gear ratio and speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears.

TIRES: Improper tire rolling radius and inflation pressure, temperature and size may contribute to inaccurate system readings. System accuracy testing should be performed after the tires are set at the correct pressure as shown on the safety compliance certification label. The tire should be warmed for a short period. Best results are obtained on smooth, dry pavement while driving at a constant speed within the posted speed limit.

AXLE/TRANSAXLE RATIO: The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or check if the proper speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears are present. Various gear ratios are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns unless the gear ratio has been changed.
WARNING: NEVER CORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS BY CHANGING GEARS UNLESS THE ODOMETER IS ALSO OFF.

DRIVE/DRIVEN GEARS: The speedometer/odometer drive gear is located inside the transmission, transaxle or transfer case and is not easily accessed for change. The driven gear rotates the speedometer cable. Rear wheel drive vehicles have several driven gears with various numbers of teeth available to correct input to the speedometer/odometer head. Front wheel drive vehicles generally do not offer different gears for correction.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The maximum allowable odometer system accuracy error is ± 3.75% of the actual distance traveled. Ford Motor vehicles are well within those limits.

The speed indication is biased high, except on police vehicles with certified calibration speedometers/odometers. As a general rule, the indicated speed is equal to or greater than the actual speed. This is intended to protect the consumer against violating speed laws. Most customer concerns are related to speedometers reading too high at true speeds between 50 MPH and 65 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h). At that speed range, the worst case errors may indicate a speed that is 10% greater than true speed.

The speedometer head is an instrument which processes information sent to it by the rotating speedometer cable. If the system components send the wrong number of revolution per mile to the speedometer head, an inaccurate speed reading and amount of distanced traveled will be displayed. Since there is no error in the fixed gear ratio of the speedometer head odometer, start by checking the accuracy of the odometer even if the customer concern indicates a speed accuracy problem. Odometer accuracy can be checked by using roads established at mile increments or a known local course. If roads with mile markers are used, a five mile stretch is recommended to allow for inaccuracies. If an error is greater than 3.75%, a change to the transmission drive/driven gear selection, tire size, or tire inflation may need attention. The odometer should be checked again to verify any corrective action. If the indicated speed error exceeds 10% between 50 MPH and 60 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h), replace the speedometer/odometer assembly. Vehicles with transfer cases that have fluctuating readings may be due to slippage of drive gears, parts not splined or loose yoke nuts.

If the vehicle has speed control, the speed accuracy can be checked using the verified odometer vs. time. The formula is as follows:
3600 divded by TIME (seconds to cover one mile) = TRUE MPH(Km/h)

EXAMPLES:
60 MPH (96 Km/h) requires 60 seconds to cover one mile
55 MPH (88 Km/h) requires 65 and 3/4 seconds to cover one mile
50 MPH (80 Km/h) requires 72 seconds to cover one mile

Spark Plug Wire Routing for '87-93 5.0L
For other TSBs, check here.



ISSUE: Engine miss, spark knock, buck/jerk, surge and other driveability concerns may be caused by induction crossfire. This occurs because of improperly routed spark plug wires.

ACTION: If spark plug replacement is performed, the correct firing order and spark plug wire routing is essential to prevent the possibility of induction crossfire between cylinders. Refer to the following procedures for inspection of the spark plug wire routing and firing order. Properly reroute the spark plug wires if required.

Whenever a high-tension ignition wire is removed from a spark plug, the distributor cap, or the coil to perform a maintenance operation, Silicone Dielectric Compound must be applied to the boot before reconnection. Using a small clean screwdriver, apply a thin layer of Silicone Dielectric Compound on the entire interior surface of the boot. Do not apply compound to metal terminals.


FIRING ORDER

The firing order for 1987-1993 5.0Ls is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. If #7 and #8, or #2 and #4 spark plug wires are routed next to each other at the separation bracket, an induction crossfire condition can occur.

The firing order for 1994-up 5.0Ls & all 5.8Ls is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 (including Coil-On-Plug). On these vehicles with distributor, the #1 and #3, or #5 and #6 spark plug wires must be separated to eliminate the possibility of an induction crossfire.

To eliminate the possibility of the coil wire becoming disconnected, route the coil wire under the spark plug wires at the distributor cap.

Distributor Clampdown 24-33 Nm; 17-25 lb-ft

TSB 93-13-10 1985-93 5.0L &1988-93 5.8L Spark Knock
Publication Date: JUNE 23, 1993

LIGHT TRUCK: 1985-1993 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES

ISSUE: Spark knock may be caused by variability in ignition PIP (Profile Ignition Pick-up) output due to a combination of engine torsional vibrations and distributor electrical characteristics. A spark advance spike is generated which repeats every eight firings.

ACTION: Perform the following Service Bay Diagnostic System procedure and, if necessary, replace the distributor.

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SBDS PROCEDURE MUST BE USED TO VERIFY IF THE SPECIFIED CONDITION EXISTS ON A GIVEN EFI/TFI 5.0L/5.8L ENGINE. DISTRIBUTORS ON ENGINES THAT HAVE A DETONATION CONCERN AND THAT DO NOT PASS THE SBDS TEST MUST BE RETURNED THROUGH WARRANTY WITH A "BEFORE AND AFTER" PRINTOUT OF THE SBDS IGNITION GRAPH (WITH THE SPIKING CLEARLY SHOWN) TO QUALIFY FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM PROCEDURE

1. Use SBDS 60 pin roadtest monitor/record. Select parameters PIP and Spout.
2. Start the warm engine and idle for at least two (2) minutes to allow EEC IV to learn and correct for normal PIP variance.
a. Record data using PVA pendant.
b. Store the data in a buffer.
3. Upload the data to the Cart and go to the playback graph mode.
4. Select Digital PIP and analog spark. Move the cursor to the smoothest (least noise) section of the spark curve.
5. Zoom in on the recording as much as possible. Look for timing spikes that REPEAT EVERY EIGHTH FIRING OF THE DIGITAL PIP SIGNAL.
6. Move the cursor across all spikes to read the timing difference.
NOTE: THE SPARK ADVANCE WILL SPIKE UPWARD AT LEAST 2° ON SUSPECT VEHICLES.
7. Print the graph for warranty use.
Downward spikes would indicate a retarded spark condition and will NOT cause detonation.
Graphs without spikes indicate that the distributor is NOT to be replaced.
8. If spiking is found, replace the distributor with the appropriate 12127 assembly. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage.
a. Reuse the TFI module, cap and rotor.
b. Rerun the procedure and PRINT THE NEW GRAPH to verify that the new distributor corrected the spark knock condition.
c. Do not disassemble or rebuild the old distributor.
d. Return the distributor with the "before and after" graphs to the Warranty Parts Return Center.

OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: NONE

WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Bumper To Bumper Warranty Coverage For 1992/93 Models, Basic Warranty Coverage For All Other Models And Emissions Warranty Coverage

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and installation can generate up to 475 N-m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
> Brake vibration
> Distortion of the wheel hub
> Distortion of the brake rotor
> Brake rotor runout
> Damage to the wheel
> Damage to the wheel nuts and studs

ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by using the Rotunda ACCUTORQ 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The "ACCUTORQ" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE: REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN «FIGURE 1» FOR THE CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN «FIGURE 1» ALSO PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORQ" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.

The "ACCUTORQ" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the "ACCUTORQ" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N-m (160-250 lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.

The "ACCUTORQ" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set (164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4) lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at 1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).

CAUTION: AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE "ACCUTORQ" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.

NOTE: DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign material present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum, or brake rotor that contacts the wheel. Installing wheels without proper metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the lug nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, causing loss of control.

TSB 95-15-11 Hesitation, Stumble, Stall, Miss, No Start, No Spark

ISSUE: '93-95 light truck vehicles with 4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L, or 7.5L gas engines may exhibit various driveability symptoms, such as no start, no spark, hesitation/stumble/stall/miss and/or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 211. The symptoms may occur during any drive mode or at idle. These concerns may be caused by the shielding drain wire (Circuit 48.) cutting through the insulation of, and shorting to, the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) wire (Circuit 395) or the spark output (SPOUT) wire (Circuit 929) near the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) 60-pin connector. A protruding wire from Splice 145 may also cause the same concern as the wire strand shorts to the PIP, SPOUT, or the foil wrap surrounding the drain wire.

ACTION: Inspect PIP - Circuit 395 (GY/O), Ignition Ground (IGN GND) - Circuit 259 (O/R), and SPOUT - Circuit 929 (PK) for possible cut insulation from Circuit 48. Also, inspect Splice 145 - Circuit 395 (GY/O) for stray wire strands. If wire insulation is cut, exposing copper wire, repair cut insulation with 3M Mastic Tape. Refer to the following procedure for service details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. If vehicle has the speed control option, remove the speed control servo bracket and position it out of the way for improved access.
3. Disconnect the connector at the Ignition Control Module (ICM - formerly TFI).
4. Unbolt the 60-pin connector from the PCM and pull the wiring up to work on.
5. Remove the 1" (25.4mm) diameter convoluted tubing from the wiring assembly. The date code tag will remain taped to the convoluted tubing.
6. Remove/cut the tape of the wiring assembly. Work toward the the ICM connector (pull back convoluted tubing as needed).
7. Unravel aluminum foil tape and electrical drain wire (Circuit 48.) from main bundle, exposing the junction or "Y" splice between the ICM tapeout and the PCM tapeout. Be careful with the foil wrap because it will be reused.
NOTE: THE FOIL WRAP LENGTH WILL BE ABOUT 5" (127mm) BEYOND THE "Y" BRANCH. THE END WILL BE TOWARD THE ICM CONNECTOR.
8. After the foil wrap is removed, look for the three (3) "grouped" wires in question at the "Y" splice. The three (3) wires are: PIP - Circuit 395 (GY/O), IGN GND - Circuit 259 (O/R), and SPOUT - Circuit 929 (PK).
9. Locate the (bare) electrical drain wire. Wire end is toward the ICM connector, again, about 5" (127mm) from the "Y" splice. Unravel wire from the top (ICM) end and down to the area where the bare wire makes contact with the three (3) wires mentioned above.
10. Inspect for any damage to the insulation of the three (3) wires in question. If wire insulation is cut, exposing copper wire, repair cut insulation with 3M Electrical Moisture Sealant-Mastic Tape (3M Part No. 054007-06147).
11. Inspect Splice 145 - Circuit 395 (GY/O) for stray wire strands (Figure 3). If stray wire is found, apply pressure on the wire with pliers to bend the wire down and wrap the splice with three (3) layers of flame retardant vinyl tape, or equivalent, to ensure the wire does not make contact with other wires or the foil wrap.
12. Carefully rewrap the bare electrical drain wire and foil. Work backward, toward the ICM connector end. Tape end of foil wrap to secure.
13. Retape worked area securely (between PCM and ICM connectors) with flame retardant vinyl tape, or equivalent.
14. Reinstall all convoluted tubing and tape ends of tubing to the tubing with flame retardant vinyl tape, or equivalent.
15. Reinstall PCM connector to the PCM.
16. Reinstall the ICM connector.
17. Reinstall the speed control servo bracket (two bolts) if applicable, and tighten bolts to 15-18 N-m (11-13 lb-ft).
18. Reconnect battery ground cable.

Distributor Clampdown 24-33 Nm; 17-25 lb-ft

TSB 88-16-16 Hazard Stumble

Publication Date: AUGUST 3, 1988

LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-88 F-SERIES, BRONCO

ISSUE: An engine miss or stumble when the headlamp hi-beams, hazard, stop or turn signals are turned "ON/OFF" may be caused by a voltage spike. A voltage spike may be induced into the EEC IV ignition system and read by the EEC IV processor as a PIP signal. This creates false timing information resulting in the miss or stumble. Vehicles that are used to pull trailers (electrical brake equipped) may have similar symptoms.

ACTION: To correct this, install a ground strap between the battery negative (-) terminal and the radiator support bracket using existing attaching hardware or a #10 sheet metal screw.

PART NUMBER PART NAME

ISSUE: A "whining"/"buzzing" noise in the speakers of the entertainment radio or two-way radio on vehicles with an in-tank electric fuel pump may be caused by electrical noise from the fuel pump.

ACTION: Install an electronic noise Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Filter (F1PZ-18B925-A) on the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. Refer to the following Test Procedure to confirm that the concern exists, then refer to the Service Procedure for repair details.

NOTE: IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEM, DO NOT INSTALL A RFI FILTER INLINE TO THE FUEL PUMP. ONLY VEHICLES WITH MECHANICAL RETURNLESS FUEL SYSTEMS (PRESSURE REGULATOR IN THE TANK), OR SYSTEMS WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.

NOTE: SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.

NOTE: THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVs) OR 1999 RANGER 3.0L FFVs.

TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel pump is the cause of the radio noise:

Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition key - you may need to put the ignition key in the Accessory position). Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine). The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is present while the pump is running and stops when the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
Remove the fuel pump sender assembly from the fuel tank. Refer to the appropriate model year Workshop Manual for removal procedure.
On vehicles without a fuel delivery module, remove the negative and positive connectors from the fuel pump, Figure 1 . Cut the wires to the fuel pump 76mm (3") from the flange of the fuel pump and discard the wires. Connect the RFI filter connectors to the spade terminal on the fuel pump. Cut and solder both the red and black wires of the RFI filter to the red and black wires of the flange. Use Heat Shrink Tubing (F5AZ-14A099-AA) over the solder connections.
NOTE: HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PER THIS TSB. USE SUFFICIENT TUBING (ABOUT 50mm (2")) OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE TO ENTIRELY COVER EACH SOLDERED CONNECTION AND SHRINK APPROPRIATELY TO PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.

NOTE: FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.

WARNING: ALL SOLDERING AND HEAT SHRINKING MUST BE COMPLETED AWAY FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA. USE A SOLDERING IRON ONLY FOR SOLDERING AND HEAT GUN ONLY FOR APPLYING SHRINK TUBING.

On light trucks and compact trucks with a fuel delivery module (FDM), cut the fuel pump wires to the fuel delivery module 50mm (2") from the flange and discard the wires, Figure 2 .
Cut the connectors from the RFI filter and solder wires to the fuel delivery module (red to red and black to black). Use heat shrink tubing over solder connections. Solder wires from the RFI filter to the flange wires (red to red and black to black). Use heat shrink tubing over soldered connections.
NOTE: HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PER THIS TSB. USE SUFFICIENT TUBING (ABOUT 50mm (2")) OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE TO ENTIRELY COVER EACH SOLDERED CONNECTION AND SHRINK APPROPRIATELY TO PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.

NOTE: FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND PROTECTED FROM CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE LITERATURE (EVTM, ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.

WARNING: ALL SOLDERING AND HEAT SHRINKING MUST BE COMPLETED AWAY FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA. USE A SOLDERING IRON ONLY FOR SOLDERING AND HEAT GUN ONLY FOR APPLYING SHRINK TUBING.

Secure the RFI filter to the fuel pump and sender assembly with a Bundling Strap (95873-S101) to prevent rattling in the tank, Figure 1 and Figure 2 .
Reinstall the fuel pump sender assembly into the fuel tank.
CAUTION: INSTALL NEW GASKETS WHEN REINSTALLING SENDER TO PREVENT LEAKS. REFER TO THE PARTS CATALOG FOR PROPER APPLICATIONS.

Check the appropriate Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) (or other service literature) for the location of the fuel pump ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3') from the tank, cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3') of the tank to prevent ground wire from acting as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the operating ground for the fuel pump. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle as outlined in the appropriate Service or Workshop Manual.

ATTACHMENT I: Owner Letter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Ford Motor Company, we are constantly working to improve our products. The reason for this letter is to tell you about a no charge coverage program (Extended Coverage Program 01M05).

What is the no charge coverage program? Your vehicle may experience a fuel cross-flow condition if the check valve in the fuel pump/sender assembly becomes damaged. If this check valve becomes damaged, fuel may be supplied from one tank and some or all of the unused fuel may be returned to the other tank. Should this occur, the capacity of the receiving tank may be exceeded and fuel may overflow from the filler cap.Note: Your vehicle was covered under Safety Recall 93S68 which was initiated in late 1993 to address fuel cross-flow. If Safety Recall 93S68 has never been performed on your vehicle, we encourage you to have it performed. If Safety Recall 93S68 was performed and you are still experiencing fuel cross-flow, then the cost to repair the cross-flow condition will be covered under this extended coverage program, number 01M05.

Note: Your vehicle was covered under Safety Recall 93S68 which was initiated in late 1993 to address fuel cross-flow. If Safety Recall 93S68 has never been performed on your vehicle, we encourage you to have it performed. If Safety Recall 93S68 was performed and you are still experiencing fuel cross-flow, then the cost to repair the cross-flow condition will be covered under this extended coverage program, number 01M05.

What does Extended Coverage Program 01M05 cover?... This program extends the coverage for the cross-flow condition to 12 years or 150,000 miles from your vehicle's warranty start date, whichever occurs first. This coverage will automatically transfer to subsequent owners. If the vehicle already has more than 150,000 miles, this coverage will last until December 31, 2001.

Safety Recall 93S68 - All 1990, 1991, 1992 and certain 1993 Model Year F-Series Vehicles equipped with 4.9, 5.0, 5.8 or 7.5 Liter Engines and Dual Fuel Tanks

Affected Vehicles
All 1990, 1991, 1992 and certain 1993 model F-Series vehicles equipped with 4.9, 5.0, 5.8 or 7.5 Liter engines and dual fuel tanks.

Reasons For Recall
Some of the affected vehicles may experience a cross tank fuel flow condition due to the damaged check valve in the fuel pump/sender assembly. Fuel may be supplied from one tank and some or all of the unused fuel may be returned to the other tank. Should this occur, the capacity of the receiving tank may be exceeded and fuel may overflow from the filler cap. Fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.

To correct this condition, the fuel pressure regulator will be replaced and a check valve will be installed between each fuel supply line and fuel tank.

Free Fuel Line Removal Tool
Standard fuel line removal tools can be used to disconnect fuel lines. However, because of the number of vehicles to be serviced, two free tools (#T93T-9550-AH) will be provided to each Ford dealer. These tools will be in your next Dealer Mail System (DMS) shipment (DMS packing slip #930902).

PS22 (FOTZ-9A299-DB) Fuel Level Sender

Apparently, this fits all '90-96 Broncos. '90-97 F-series use PS19 in the front tank & PS23 in the rear. List is ~$80 tax from Ford; I paid ~$55 total from Parts Plus. It should read ~160 Ohms Full (Up), ~16 Ohms Empty (Down, as shown).

Before buying a new one, try disassembling the plastic cover from the metal plate & polishing all the contact surfaces with super-fine steel wool to remove the fuel deposits that can interfere with the electrical flow.

Before buying craptasmic cheapo aftermarket parts, check for coupons & service offers from Ford.

TSB 88-18-03 Fuel Gauge Erratic

Publication Date: AUGUST 31, 1988

FORD: 1987-88 MUSTANG, TAURUS
LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1987-88 SABLE
1988 LINCOLN TOWN CAR
LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-88 BRONCO, F-SERIES

ISSUE: An erratic fuel gauge needle when the fuel tank is 1/2 to 1/4 full may be caused by excessive wear of the resistive film on the fuel pump sender assembly. The wear occurs during transporting of the vehicles via rail or truck over long distances. The fuel gauge will indicate correctly from a full tank to about 1/2 or 1/4 tank of fuel. When the fuel gauge needle is below the 1/2 to 1/4 tank range the needle will swing all the way above the full mark on the fuel gauge.

ACTION: To correct this, install a new fuel pump sender assembly. Refer to the appropriate 1988 Car/Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 24 for detailed service information. Refer to the following fuel pump sender application chart for the correct service part number.

FUEL ECONOMY SERVICE TIPS 4.9L, 5.0L AND 5.8L ENGINES
Article No.90-6-15
FORD: 1985-1990 BRONCO, E SERIES, F SERIES

ISSUE: Fuel economy, considered unsatisfactory by some customers, may be due to a lack of customer awareness of various conditions that can unfavorably affect fuel economy. Use the following sections to assist in diagnosing complaints of low fuel economy. Refer to the Engine/Emission Diagnosis Manual for additional diagnostic information.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
1. Determine how the fuel economy is being calculated.
NOTE: SOME CUSTOMERS USE OUT OF POCKET COST AS A BASIS TO MEASURE FUEL ECONOMY RATHER THAN ACTUAL CALCULATION OF MPG.
Two tanks of fuel are usually needed to accurately calculate fuel economy. Canadian fuel economy is calculated with the following formula:
Kilometers Traveled/Liters Used x 2.819 = Miles/Imperial Gallons
2. Ask the customer to describe their driving habits. See the conditions below that decrease fuel economy:
- Stop and go city driving is 17% less efficient than steady highway driving
- Short trips of 3 miles or less increase fuel ACTION usage due to lower engine operating temperatures
- A loss of fuel economy due to an increase in posted speed limits or operating a vehicle at higher than posted speeds. Test results indicate a loss of about 2.4 MPG for every 10 MPH increase above 40 MPH
- Hilly or mountainous terrain requires more power from the engine to maintain a constant speed thus demanding more fuel
- Use of speed control in hilly and mountainous terrain
- Idling for long periods can consume about 0.7 gallons of fuel per hour
- Vehicles frequently loaded down or used to pull a trailer. Fuel economy decreases due to the increase in total weight and frontal area.

VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. Tire pressure should be set at the vehicle manufacturer's specification. Under inflated tires have a higher rolling resistance which requires more power to roll. Under inflated tires can reduce fuel economy by as much as 1 MPG.
2. Bug deflectors, running boards, and sun shields affect fuel economy. Each item affects fuel economy by 1-2 MPG. The faster the vehicle is operated, the greater the effect.
3. Look for vacuum leaks and restrictions. Pay particular attention to the MAP and EGR vacuum lines.
4. Look for electrical concerns such as broken, chafed or disconnected wires. Examples of areas to check are:
- Electrical grounds must have good continuity (0.4 omhs or less with the battery positive cable and the EEC processor disconnected).
- Battery cables must be clean and free of corrosion
- Non-factory items such as two-way radios, electric trailer brakes and mobile telephones must have the wiring at least 5 cm away from any factory electronics.
NOTE
ELECTRICAL POWER FOR NON-FACTORY ITEMS SHOULD BE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY OR FUSE PANEL. THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE ROUTE IS RECOMMENDED.
5. Ignition timing, including spark advance, should be checked to make sure it is within specification.
6. The speedometer/odometer calibration could be inaccurate due to aftermarket tires that are oversize. Oversize tires will cause the speedometer to indicate lower than actual vehicle speed. They also cause the odometer to indicate less than actual miles traveled which could appear as a 10% reduction in fuel economy.

FUEL QUALITY
Fuel quality can be checked for water, alcohol, lead, and fuel vapor pressure using Rotunda Gas Check Test Kit 113-00004. These items can cause poor fuel economy.
Lead in fuel has the following effect:
- Contaminates the EGO sensor causing inaccurate reading to the processor. This results in an over-rich fuel condition.
- Catalytic converter may overheat and plug, creating high exhaust back pressure.
Alcohol in fuel has the following effect:
- Incomplete combustion because alcohol does not burn as hot as gasoline. If fuel quality is poor, the fuel should be replaced before proceeding. The catalytic converter and EGO sensor may require attention also.

BOTTLE TEST
A bottle test may be the only way to resolve a fuel economy concern.
- Using Rotunda Mileage Tester 021-00042, bottle test the vehicle at a steady speed of 60 MPH over the same section of road in both directions.
- Repeat the test as necessary for consistency.
- Average the results to account for normal test-to-test variations such as hills and wind.

NOTE: IF THE FUEL ECONOMY IS NOT SATISFACTORY, REFER TO THE ENGINE/EMISSIONS DIAGNOSIS MANUAL FOR FURTHER ACTION.

TSB 96-10-07 California ReFormulated Gasoline (CaRFG)

ISSUE: California introduced CaRFG around March 1, 1996 and statewide it must be available at all service stations by June 1, 1996 to help reduce emissions and improve gasoline quality. It will replace the traditional gasoline sold in Northern California and improve the reformulated gasoline that has been sold in Southern California since January 1995. California Air Resources Board (CARB) projects smog forming emissions from motor vehicles to be reduced by about 15 percent.

ACTION: The following text is provided to give some answers to some commonly asked questions by our customers.

POSITION: Ford Motor Company recommends the use of CaRFG as a cost effective means of reducing emissions to provide cleaner air. We have participated in vehicle and laboratory testing of CaRFG to make sure it is acceptable for our customers' use. There are no unusual vehicle performance concerns expected based upon these studies. The use of CaRFG will not affect Ford's new vehicle and/or emissions warranty.

WHAT DOES CaRFG CONSIST OF?
CaFRG consists of the same basic components as other gasolines, but it reduces pollution because of its cleaner burning components. Features are:
> reduced aromatic hydrocarbons to form less smog emissions
> added oxygenates to reduce emissions
> decreases the amount of fuel evaporating from the vehicle
> lowered sulfur content to provide more efficient operation of the vehicle's catalytic converter
> reduced benzene by about one-half

IS CaRFG MORE HAZARDOUS THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINES?
CaRFG is a hazardous substance like convential gasoline. Precautions should continue to be taken to avoid exposure to vapors or liquid when it is pumped or handled. It should never be siphoned or swallowed.

HOW WILL CaRFG AFFECT VEHICLE PERFORMANCE?
Properly blended CaRFG should have no adverse effect on vehicle performance or the durability of engine and fuel system components. Its basic properties are not significantly different than other cleaner burning gasolines that have been used in the U.S. for several years.

If the vehicle is a certified California calibration 1996 or later model year, it was designed to operate on CaRFG gasoline. The vehicle will operate satisfactorily on gasolines in the other 49 states, but emission control system performance may be affected. Using gasolines other than CaRFG have substantially increased emissions from motor vehicles.

WILL THE USE OF CaRFG AFFECT CALIFORNIA VEHICLE WARRANTY?
No. The coverage of Ford's new vehicle warranty is not affected. In fact, Ford Owner Guides have consistently approved the use of properly blended reformulated gasolines containing oxygenates. Further information about properly fueling your vehicle is included in the Owner Guide.

WILL FUEL ECONOMY BE AFFECTED?
A very small reduction in fuel economy of less than one-half mile per gallon is possible if the customer was using gasoline without oxygenates. This is attributed to the lower energy content of oxygenates which have been in all Southern California gasolines since January of 1995 and in some gasolines since the 1970's.

Many factors affect fuel economy like driving habits, vehicle maintenance, weather conditions, etc. Fuel economy can vary by more than a mile per gallon from one fill-up to the next with the same gasolines. For further details see TSB Article «95-12-2» for customer expectations regarding fuel economy.

ARE SPECIAL ADDITIVES NECESSARY FOR CaRFG?
No. It is not necessary to add anything to the vehicle fuel tank after the gasoline is purchased from the service station. California regulations require deposit control additives in CaRFG to minimize port fuel injector and intake valve deposits.

WILL OLDER VEHICLES OPERATE SATISFACTORILY WITH THE NEW CaRFG?
Older vehicles are expected to operate satisfactorily on CaRFG because vehicles have been operating on gasolines similar to CaRFG for a number of years. However, considerable testing indicates that older, high mileage vehicles are more susceptible to fuel system problems due to age and normal wear and tear regardless of whether they are operated on conventional or CaRFG gasolines. Owners of these older vehicles are encouraged to follow their vehicle manufacturer's recommendations regarding vehicle maintenance.

WILL THE SMELL BE DIFFERENT THAN CONVENTIONAL GASOLINE?
CaRFG is not expected to smell different than the gasoline most vehicles are currently using. If an unusual odor is noticed, it would probably be from oxygenates. Most service stations use vapor recovery systems to minimize the release of gasoline vapors while refueling. The use of CaRFG should result in little or no "rotten egg" smell from the exhaust because CaRFG has much lower sulfur than conventional gasoline.

WAS CaRFG TESTED BEFORE INTRODUCTION?
It was tested for over five million miles in more than 800 vehicles under the guidance of CARB including experts representing automobile manufacturers, gasoline suppliers, fleet operations and government. There was no increase in problems identified with the use of CaRFG.

DOES CaRFG COST MORE?
The price at the pump cannot be accurately predicted, although a modest increase is likely. The price of CaRFG is subject to the competitive forces in the marketplace. Many factors including production costs, supply and demand, weather, crude oil prices, and taxes affect gasoline prices.

WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ON CaRFG?
Additional information within the state of California on CaRFG is available from the California Air Resources Board toll-free at 1-800-922-7349 (within California only).

TSB 98-26-02 Fuel Volatility Tips

ISSUE: Some vehicles using winter blend fuels may exhibit a stall on start up and a no restart, hard start condition or a no start condition in unseasonably hot weather (greater than 27°C/80°F). These concerns may be related to fuel volatility from winter blend fuels during winter-spring and autumn-winter transitions and may result in a fuel pump vapor lock condition. This condition may appear to be a fuel pump failure but may be caused by winter blend fuel.

ACTION: Explain to the customer that this concern may be due to a low tank level of winter blend fuel combined with unseasonably warm weather. Advise customer that filling the fuel tank to full may be effective in resolving this concern. Also, advise customer to use the recommended octane grade per their Owner Manual and not a higher grade.

NOTE: FUEL TANK ADDITIVES WILL NOT RESOLVE THESE CONCERNS BECAUSE VAPOR FORMS FROM CAVITATION WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP. FILLING THE TANK TO FULL MAY BE EFFECTIVE. ADVISE CUSTOMER TO USE THE RECOMMENDED OCTANE GRADE PER OWNER MANUAL AND NOT A HIGHER GRADE.

BACKGROUND
Gasolines are seasonally adjusted, meaning they have higher volatility (vaporize easier) in the winter and lower volatility in the summer. Government mandates to improve air quality have resulted in significant changes to gasolines, such as the mandatory use of oxygenates (ethanol, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and others) in the winter or the reduction of Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) in the summer. The addition of oxygenates (especially ethanol) increases volatility while the reduction of RVP reduces volatility.

Gasoline distribution practices often do not allow branded marketers to have much control over their gasoline's volatility other than RVP. Oxygenate (e.g., ethanol, MTBE) use is more dependent on local gasoline markets, rather than specific marketers practice. Therefore, it is difficult to recommend specific brands to avoid volatility related complaints.

TSB 91-08-13 Tips to Avoid Lean Conditions

ISSUE: Rough idle, hesitation, poor throttle response, induction backfire and stalls during cold start/warm up may be caused by the poor volatility of some high octane premium grade unleaded fuels (91 octane or higher (R M)/2). When compared to regular grade unleaded fuel (87 octane (R M)/2), high octane premium grade unleaded fuel may cause long crank time.

ACTION: Use a regular grade unleaded fuel in all vehicles, except where a premium unleaded fuel is recommended in the Owner Guide. If lean air-fuel type symptoms are experienced, determine the grade and brand of fuel used and offer the following service tips.

> Advise those using a higher octane grade fuel to switch to a regular grade unleaded fuel. For those using a regular grade fuel, advise them to try another brand.

> Do not advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel than is recommended for that specific engine. Ford engines are designed to perform best using a high quality regular grade unleaded fuel.

> Only advise using a higher octane unleaded fuel to avoid potentially damaging spark knock or ping, but do so only after mechanical fixes are ineffective.

NOTE: ALL UNLEADED GASOLINES USED SHOULD CONTAIN DETERGENT ADDITIVES THAT ARE ADVERTISED AS HAVING "KEEP CLEAN" OR "CLEAN UP" PERFORMANCE FOR BOTH INTAKE VALVES AND FUEL INJECTORS.

ISSUE: Port fuel injected vehicles that have cold hesitation, lack of power, rough engine idle or a surging condition at steady speeds may be caused by dirty fuel injectors. When no-detergent fuel is used, deposits form on the fuel metering surfaces of the fuel injectors. The deposits that form reduce the fuel flow resulting in a lean condition.

ACTION: To correct this, follow normal diagnostics as shown in the Engine/Emissions Diagnosis Manual, Section 2. If you get to a step that instructs you to replace a fuel injector, FIRST try cleaning the injector with the Rotunda Tester/Cleaner, 113-00001. If the condition still exists after cleaning, the injectors should be flow tested to make sure they are functioning properly. If the flow test indicates lean injectors, a second cleaning may be necessary because of severe injector fouling. Refer to the diagnostic chart for step-by-step instructions.
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO FLOW TEST INJECTORS WITH THE CLEANING SOLUTION MIXTURE. THIS WILL PRODUCE FALSE TEST RESULTS. ONLY USE CLEAN GASOLINE.

In cases where fouled injectors were the cause of the driveability concern, it should be recommended to the customer that a better quality gasoline be used. The Owner Guide, Maintenance Schedule and Operating Guide address the fuel quality issue.

NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE CORRECT CLEANING SOLVENT IS USED WITH THE ROTUNDA TESTER/CLEANER. THE CORRECT CLEANING SOLVENTS ARE:
Power Flush Injector Fluid E6AZ-19579-C
Carburetor and Combustion Chamber Cleaner D9AZ-19579-BA

ISSUE: Deposit resistant injectors (DRI) have two (2) unique features which are tolerant to deposit formation. The DRI's are tan in body color (not connector color) and do not require cleaning.

ACTION: No cleaning action is required for deposit resistant injectors. The two (2) unique DRI features are:
1. The Bosch (DRI) meter fuel through a 4-hole director plate.
2. The Nippondenso (DRI) allows a wider tip opening by metering the fuel upstream with an internal orifice. The wider tip allows a deposit buildup which does not affect the fuel flow and vehicle function.

NOTE: THE PINTLE-TYPE INJECTORS USED ON EARLIER MODEL YEAR CARS AND TRUCKS MAY HAVE DEPOSIT FORMATION AT THE PINTLE AND SEAT AREA. THESE PINTLE-TYPE INJECTORS ARE BLACK OR GRAY IN COLOR. THEY MUST BE CLEANED WHEN REQUIRED BECAUSE DEPOSIT BUILD-UP CAN AFFECT PERFORMANCE.

ISSUE: In-vehicle testing of multi-port fuel injectors, using Rotunda Fuel Injector Tester 164-R3750, will no longer be warranty reimbursable. Lack of tester updates and improvements in the design of fuel injectors has led to the discontinuation of this Service Procedure. A significant number of warranty returned injectors test within engineering specification. All diagnostic tools and procedures are being re-evaluated for effectiveness.

ACTION: Acceptable fuel injector tests include: Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS) relative injector flow, fuel pressure decay, cylinder drop/balance techniques, and misfire detection tools. Using the acceptable fuel injector tests eliminates the possibility of a misdiagnosed fuel injector concern due to inaccuracy of this test equipment. Since the introduction of Deposit Resistant Injectors in 1991, lean fuel conditions caused by deposit formation have been eliminated. Diagnostic concentration is on single fuel injector inoperative concerns in a particular cylinder.

FSA89S76FuelLine.jpg | Hits: 19709 | Size: 91.32 KB | Posted on: 1/25/07 | Link to this image


The NAPA / Wix filter number that includes the O-ring for the reservoir is 3268. See also:
. .

FSA 89S76 Cold Fuel Line Leak
Check the Ford website &/or the NHTSA to see if your VIN is affected.

ISSUE: Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited (Ford) has determined that certain 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989 model F-150/250/350 Trucks and Broncos sold in specific areas of Canada where severe winter weather is experienced contain a fuel tube that may develop a leak.

Technical Instructions: The new stainless steel reinforced Teflon® fuel line replaces both the short "jumper" fuel line from the high-pressure frame-mounted fuel pump to the filter, and the long fuel line from the filter to the fuel rail on the engine. The existing In-Line Fuel Filter will be removed and discarded. A canister-type Fuel Filter will be added to the existing fuel reservoir on the frame rail behind the high pressure pump.
NOTE: The frame mounted fuel filter was repositioned to between the fuel pump and engine during 1986 model year production. This was incorporated in February, 1986.

Fuel System Pressure Relief

EFI Engines
CAUTION: Fuel supply lines on 4.9L EFI, 5.0L EFI, 5.8L EFI and 7.5L EFI engines will remain pressurized for some period of time after the engine is shut off. This pressure must be relieved before servicing of the fuel system.

Before opening the fuel system on vehicles with EFI engines, relieve fuel pressure as follows:
1. Locate and disconnect the electrical connection to either the fuel pump relay, the inertia switch or the in-line high pressure fuel pump.
2. Crank engine for approximately ten seconds.
NOTE: Engine may start and run for a short time. If so, crank engine an additional five seconds after engine stalls.
3. Connect the electrical connector that was disconnected in Step 1.
4. Disconnect battery ground cable.
5. Raise vehicle on hoist. Refer to the appropriate model year Volume F, Pre-Delivery Shop Manual, Section 50-04, Hoisting and Jacking.

Canister-Type Fuel Filter Installation

CAUTION: If the fuel filter canister is being serviced with the rear of the truck higher than the front, or if the tank is pressurized, fuel leakage or siphoning from the tank fuel lines could occur. To prevent this condition, maintain the vehicle front end at or above the level of the rear of vehicle. Also, relieve tank pressure by loosening the fuel fill cap. Cap should be retightened after pressure is relieved. If vehicle is warm, install the fuel filter before the pressure rebuilds.
1. Remove the reservoir shield on 4 x 4 vehicles by removing either three or four screws (depending on vehicle). On 4 x 4 vehicles it may be necessary to disconnect the rear of the front driveshaft to allow for tool clearance.
NOTE: To maintain driveshaft balance, mark the rear slip yoke in relation to the transfer case yoke for correct positioning during reinstallation. Then remove the nuts and U-bolts (bolts for F350 transfer case) that connect the front driveshaft to the rear slip yoke of the transfer case.
2. Unscrew the lower canister of the reservoir using a flexible strap type oil filter wrench, and slide canister out from frame rail.
NOTE: Fuel canister will be full of fuel.
3. Empty fuel from the fuel canister. Remove and discard the O-ring.
4. Remove the stand pipe from the reservoir by pulling it down sharply. Discard the stand pipe.
5. Install grommet (supplied with filter) into top of filter cartridge, then install the fuel filter cartridge into fuel canister.
6. Position new O-ring so that it is seated in the O-ring groove of the canister.
7. While keeping canister level, so as not to dislodge O-ring, position canister to bottom of reservoir housing and tighten loosely by hand. It may be necessary to loosen reservoir-to-frame mounting bolts to access the canister. Using a flexible strap type oil filter wrench, complete filter canister tightening by turning canister about one-sixth of a turn past initial O-ring compression.
NOTE: The rubber grommet on the filter will automatically seat on the piloted stud of the upper housing as the canister is tightened.
REMINDER: If reservoir-to-frame mounting bolts were loosened in above step, re-tighten.

Fuel Line Replacement:

CAUTION: Fuel lines may still contain fuel. Use caution when disconnecting.
1. Remove the three bolts holding the fuel filter bracket to the frame. Retain one bolt for subsequent use.
2. Disconnect "Push Connect" fitting at the high pressure pump outlet nipple by removing hairpin clip and twisting the line while pulling on it.
3. Using a 16 mm wrench for the fitting and a 14 mm wrench (on the boss of the fuel pump) for backup, unscrew outlet nipple from the front of the high pressure fuel pump. Discard nipple and copper sealing washer.
4. Install new copper washer (E6TZ-9374-A) on the new fuel pump nipple (E6TZ-9416-A). Screw this new nipple into the pump. Torque to 12-16 Nm (9-12 lb-ft), while keeping a 14 mm wrench (on the boss of the fuel pump) for backup.
5. Select the appropriate new fuel line as per Parts Ordering Information.
6. Remove red shipping plug on fuel pump outlet connector of the fuel line if present. Leave white shipping plug on for protection. Install the end of the fuel line with the small bell-shaped connector to the new fuel pump outlet nipple. Push on to nipple until distinct click is heard or felt. Pull on line to test for and confirm retention. Engage the retainer clip to line and nipple by firmly pushing down on the clip.
NOTE: If fuel line removal is required use tool T90T-9550-B to release connector.
7. Route fuel line forward inside frame rail, following routing of fuel return line. Install clip N800558-S100 to retain fuel lines, by bolting to lower front bolt hole in frame, that was previously used for the fuel filter bracket. Use bolt from Step 1 and nut N620480-S100. Torque to 8-12 Nm (6-9 lbs. ft.) Ensure fuel line is pressed against frame rail web to clear automatic transmission shift linkage.
8. Disconnect the fuel supply line at the engine fuel rail as follows:
a) lift the tethered retaining clip off the coupling connection. Move it aside, leaving it hanging by its tether.
b) disconnect the fuel line spring lock coupling, using the proper special service tool.
9. 5.0L or 4.9L engines equipped vehicles. Remove the complete fuel supply line, filter and jumper fuel line as an assembly. Mutilate and scrap.
10. 5.8L or 7.5L engine equipped vehicles. Use a pair of diagonal side cutters to cut both ends of the fuel supply line flush with the foil insulation wrapping. This leaves the wrapped section of the original supply line in place, which is not to be disturbed. Use caution to avoid damaging fuel return line. Mutilate and scrap the ends of fuel lines, fuel filter and bracket and "jumper" fuel line.
11. Remove white shipping cap and connect fuel line to engine fuel rail. Install retainer clip previously removed in Step 8.
12. (5.0L or 4.9L) Strap new fuel line to existing fuel return line using tie straps 95874-S at 8" (20cm) intervals. Cut off excess tie strap length.
13. (5.8L or 7.5L) Strap new fuel line to existing fuel line insulation bundle. Locate tie straps 95874-S at 8" (20 cm) intervals. Ensure heat shield is installed as shown. Use additional strap to secure fuel line to shield. Cut off excess tie strap length. Slight excess fuel line length is allowed to form a "hump" at the upper end of the fuel line near the engine.
14. Lower vehicle.
15. Reconnect battery ground cable.
16. Cycle ignition key to "ON" position 5 times at 2 second intervals to prime the fuel system. Inspect reservoir, pump nipple and fuel line connections for leaks (correct as required).
17. Start engine and reinspect the fuel system for leaks. (Correct as required).
18. (4 X 4 only) Reinstall fuel reservoir shield. Torque attaching bolts to 16-20 Nm (12-15 lb-ft).
19. (4 x 4 only) Reinstall driveshaft, if removed, making sure markings on rear slip yoke and transfer casing yoke line up so as to maintain driveshaft balance.
20. Mutilate and scrap all removed parts.

TSB 89-08-12 Insulation Shrunk

Publication Date: APRIL 19, 1989

LIGHT TRUCK: 1987 BRONCO, F-150, F-250, F-350

ISSUE: Wire insulation may shrink away from terminals at three connectors of the 14290 wire harness. The 14290 wire harness is located on the left hand fender apron in the engine compartment. Shrinkage is caused by high ambient engine temperatures and grease filled connectors.

ACTION: Check for exposed wire at the terminals and wrap with electrical tape if required. Refer to the following service procedure.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Check the wires where they exit the connectors and see if the insulation is present.
2. If the wires are exposed, remove the wires and terminals from the connector.

ISSUE: When a generator fails, there are a few failure modes that may cause heat to be produced at the wiring harness-to-generator connector. This excess heat may damage the female terminals on the wiring harness, resulting in increased resistance. The increased resistance produces more heat. When the generator is replaced, the resistance produced by a damaged connector may damage the new generator and could result in a repeat repair, including installation of another generator. High resistance (caused by a damaged connector) will not go away until the damaged connector is replaced.

ACTION: Visually inspect the harness-to-generator connector for damage (heat, corrosion, distortion and cracking) before installing a new generator. Install the Generator Wiring Harness Connector Kit (E5AZ-14305-AA) if the harness-to-generator connector is damaged.

The Generator Wiring Harness Connector Kit (E5AZ-14305-AA) contains the following:

One (1) Red Wire Butt Connector
Two (2) Yellow Wire Butt Connectors
One (1) Wire Connector Assembly (equivalent to Standard S542)
One (1) Instruction Sheet (I.S. 6849)

To test the alt, first install a good CHARGED battery. Then momentarily ground the screw on the back of the alt where it says GROUND HERE TO TEST (the Field brush screw) using a jumper wire with the engine at 1500-2500RPM. Have a voltmeter connected across the battery posts. The voltage should instantly spike over 15.5V, and continue to climb slowly. Don't ground that screw for any longer than it takes to make this observation (a couple of seconds). If it fails, the fault could be in the alternator, the wiring, or any connection (including the alt to the block).

ISSUE: A rich running engine at high altitude may be caused by incorrect vacuum hose and electrical connections. The overly rich condition can cause stalling, hard starting, or poor fuel economy.

ACTION: Listed below are some incorrect vacuum and electrical connections that have been found in the field. Technicians should check for these conditions before trying further diagnosis.
* Spark port or EGR port vacuum supplied to 5" and 10" Hg. vacuum switch instead of manifold vacuum.
* Manifold vacuum signal applied to off-idle vacuum switch instead of EGR port vacuum signal.
* Wrong vacuum hose routing for the altitude compensator system (check vacuum schematic).
* Wrong electrical connections - like connecting a wire to a 7V source when it should be connected to a 12V power source.
* Vacuum filter is restricted or plugged by a cap or other object.

TSB 91-12-11 Catalytic Converter Diagnosis



Publication Date: JUNE 12, 1991

LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-91 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
1988-91 F SUPER DUTY, F47

ISSUE: Lack of power or a no start condition may be diagnosed as an exhaust restriction caused by a plugged catalytic converter. A plugged catalytic converter (internal deterioration) is usually caused by abnormal engine operation.

ACTION: Diagnose the catalytic converter to confirm internal failure. Refer to the Catalyst and Exhaust System Diagnostic Section, in the Engine/Emissions Diagnostic Shop Manual and the following procedures for service details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Lack of proper HEGO operation may cause, or be the result of a rich or lean fuel condition, which could cause additional heat in the catalyst. Perform self test KOEO and KOER, service any codes.
NOTE: IF TWO DIGIT CODES 41, 42, 85 OR THREE DIGIT CODES 171, 172, 173, 179, 181, 182, 183 AND 565 ARE RECIEVED, CHECK FOR PROPER HEGO GROUND.
If the HEGO ground is good, the following areas may be at fault:
* Ignition Coil
* Distributor Cap
* Distributor Rotor
* Fouled Spark Plug
* Spark Plug Wires
* Air Filter
* Stuck Open Injector
* Fuel Contamination Engine OIL
* Manifold Leaks Intake/Exhaust
* Fuel Pressure
* Poor Power Ground
* Engine Not At Normal Operating Temperature
* HEGO Sensor
2. Spark timing that is retarded from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected. Set base timing to the specification on the vehicle emission decal.
b. Check computed timing with spout connected.
NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20° BTDC ± 3°.
3. Misfiring spark plugs may cause an unburned fuel air mixture to pass through the catalyst, which could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service details. Check secondary ignition, hook the vehicle up to an engine analyzer and check for a secondary ignition misfire.
NOTE: SERVICE ANY ITEM THAT IS NOT PERFORMING AT PROPER SPECIFICATIONS BEFORE CONTINUING.
4. Fuel pressure that is too high may cause rich air fuel mixtures to pass through the catalyst which could cause higher than normal catalyst temperatures. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
a. Check fuel pressure, install fuel pressure gauge, start and run the engine at idle. Fuel pressures between 28 and 34 PSI are typical (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher).
b. Disconnect the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure typically jumps to 40 PSI ± 3 PSI (4.9L typically is 15 PSI higher). Visually inspect vacuum line for raw fuel.
NOTE: FUEL PRESSURES ABOVE THESE VALUES SHOULD BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER, THIS MAY NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE CONCERN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
5. Throttle plates in the throttle body not returning to the proper closed position may cause excessive catalyst temperatures during downhill grades. Refer to the following procedure for service details. Visually inspect the throttle body and linkage for:
* Binding or sticking throttle linkage.
* Tight speed control linkage or cable.
* Vacuum line interference.
* Electrical harness interference.
NOTE: AFTERMARKET GOVERNORS, THROTTLE LINKAGE AND CABLES ASSOCIATED WITH POWER TAKE-OFF UNITS, MAY ALSO INTERFERE WITH PROPER THROTTLE RETURN. SERVICE AS NECESSARY.
6. It is extremely important that all systems related to the engine and emission systems operate properly.
a. Visually inspect the engine compartment to make sure all vacuum hoses and spark plug wires are properly routed and securely connected.
b. Inspect all wiring harnesses and connectors for insulation damage, burned, overheated, loose or broken conditions.
c. Verify proper operation of the thermactor system. Thermactor systems that fail to dump thermactor air to the atmosphere properly or at the correct time can cause high catalyst temperatures.
d. Visually inspect thermactor system for damaged or kinked hoses and perform a function test on following components: air control valve, check valve, silencer, filter and the air bypass solenoid.
e. Verify proper operation of the engine cooling system thermostat.

LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1988-89 TOPAZ, SABLE, COUGAR, CONTINENTAL
MERKUR: 1988-89 SCORPIO

ISSUE: The pressure feedback electronic (PFE) EGR transducer sensor changes an exhaust pressure signal into analog voltage. The EEC IV processor uses this to control EGR flow. Condensation (water) is a natural by-product of combustion and may collect in the PFE sensor port or the PFE sensor silicon hose. Water in the PFE sensor port or PFE hose does not indicate an abnormal operating condition or failed sensor. The water in the PFE sensor port or PFE hose will drain back into the EGR tube because of the downward slope of the hose. Refer to the application chart of this TSB article for the affected vehicles.

ISSUE: A rough idle created when the air bypass valve (idle air control) is replaced may be caused by a revision made to the valve's wiring harness. Vehicles built before the 1989 model year had a diode in the air bypass valve's wiring harness. The new replacement valves have a "D" marking on the plastic portion of the solenoid, above the connector cap, Figure 1. They have a diode in the air bypass valve. On the air bypass valve used on vehicles built before the 1989 model year, the positive and negative leads are not important to the valve's operation. However, the polarity on the new replacement air bypass valve is important because, if the wiring harness is reversed, the valve will not work.

ACTION: Reverse the wires in the air bypass valve connector and retest the valve. Refer to the EFI Engine Application Chart for engines using these air bypass valves.

Alternate Cleaning Procedure
NOTE: Method to be used only when the Rotunda Fuel Injector Tester/Cleaner 113-00001 and Air Bypass Valve Actuator 113-00009 or equivalent for the recommended method are not available.

1. Remove the idle air control valve from the throttle body.
2. Remove the electrical solenoid assembly from the mechanical portion of the idle air control valve by removing the two screws, then sliding the mechanical portion away from the solenoid.
3. Soak the mechanical portion in Carburetor Tune-Up Cleaner D9AZ-19579-BA meeting Ford specification ESR-M14P9-A or equivalent for two to three minutes maximum. CAUTION: Do not exceed three minutes soak time, and do not use choke cleaner as an internal O-ring may begin to deteriorate.
4. With the mechanical portion completely submerged, shake in all directions: up, down, right and left. Then push in on the rod that mates with the solenoid assembly, and again shake in all directions with the unit submerged and the rod held in as far as possible.
5. Remove the unit from the cleaning fluid and dry out thoroughly using shop air.


Idle Air Control Valve Recommended Cleaning Procedure
CAUTION: This cleaning procedure may be used with sludge tolerant bodies which are identified with a yellow/black "attention" label. No attempt should be made to clean the throttle body bore/plate area by directly spraying or scrubbing. Do not run engines with airflow meters during the cleaning procedure.

1. Plug the Rotunda Air Bypass Valve Actuator 113-00009 or equivalent into the Rotunda Fuel Injector Tester/Cleaner 113-00001 or equivalent.
2. Remove the air cleaner outlet tube (9B659) to the throttle body (9E926).
3. Disconnect the idle air control valve signal lead.
4. Attach the Rotunda Air Bypass Valve Actuator 113-00009 or equivalent plug to the idle air control valve (IAC valve) (9F715).
5. CAUTION: Do not start engines that have airflow meters. Start the actuator and then start the engine.
6. Spray Carburetor Tune-Up Cleaner D9AZ-19579-BA meeting Ford specification ESR-M14P9-A or equivalent for about five seconds into the inlet passage while the actuator is operating. Avoid direct spraying on throttle plate/bore area.
7. Stop the engine and actuator. Let everything soak for 15 minutes.
8. CAUTION: Do not start engines that have airflow meters. Start the actuator and then start the engine.
9. Spray Carburetor Tune-Up Cleaner D9AZ-19579-BA, meeting Ford specification ESR-M14P9-A or equivalent, into the idle air control valve passage leading to the inlet of the valve for up to one minute. Do not spray for longer than six continuous seconds on engines that have airflow meters and are not running.
10. Stop the actuator and stop the engine if running.
11. Reinstall the air cleaner outlet tube.
12. Start and run the engine for about one minute to dry out the solvent residue.
13. Operate the actuator to make sure the solvent is purged from the idle air control valve.
14. Disconnect the actuator from the idle air control valve.
15. Reattach the control signal lead to the idle air control valve.
16. Check the engine for normal operation.

Idle Air Trim

Idle Air Trim is designed to adjust the Idle Air Control (IAC) calibration to correct for wear and aging of components. When engine conditions meet the learning requirement, the strategy monitors the engine and determines the values required for ideal idle calibration. The Idle Air Trim values are stored in a table for reference. This table is used by the PCM as a correction factor when controlling idle speed. The table is stored in keep alive memory (KAM) and retains the learned values even after the engine is shut off. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is output if the Idle Air Trim has reached its learning limits.

Whenever an IAC component is replaced or cleaned or a service affecting idle is performed, it is recommended that keep alive memory be cleared. This is necessary so the idle strategy does not use the previously learned Idle Air Trim values. It is important to note that erasing DTCs with a scan tool does not reset the Idle Air Trim table.

Once keep alive memory has been reset, the engine must idle for 15 minutes (actual time varies between strategies) to learn new idle air trim values. Idle quality will improve as the strategy adapts. Adaptation occurs in four separate modes. The modes are shown in the following table.

IDLE AIR TRIM LEARNING MODES
Transmission Range - Air Conditioning Mode
NEUTRAL (PARK) - A/C ON
NEUTRAL (PARK) - A/C OFF
DRIVE - A/C ON
DRIVE - A/C OFF

Idle Speed Control Closed Throttle Determination

One of the fundamental criteria for entering rpm control is an indication of closed throttle. Throttle mode is always calculated to the lowest learned throttle position (TP) voltage seen since engine start. This lowest learned value is called "ratch," since the software acts like a one-way ratch. The ratch value (voltage) is displayed as the TPREL PID. The ratch value is relearned after every engine start. Ratch will learn the lowest, steady TP voltage seen after the engine starts. In some cases, ratch can learn higher values of TP. The time to learn the higher values is significantly longer than the time to learn the lower values. The brakes must also be applied to learn the higher values.

All PCM functions are done using this ratch voltage, including idle speed control. The PCM goes into closed throttle mode when the TP voltage is at the ratch (TPREL PID) value. Increase in TP voltage, normally less than 0.05 volts, will put the PCM in part throttle mode. Throttle mode can be viewed by looking at the TP MODE PID. With the throttle closed, the PID must read C/T (closed throttle). Slightly corrupt values of ratch can prevent the PCM from entering closed throttle mode. An incorrect part throttle indication at idle will prevent entry into closed throttle rpm control, and could result in a high idle. Ratch can be corrupted by a throttle position sensor or circuit that "drops out" or is noisy, or by loose/worn throttle plates that close tight during a decel and spring back at a normal engine vacuum.

Idle Air Trim

Idle Air Trim is designed to adjust the Idle Air Control (IAC) calibration to correct for wear and aging of components. When engine conditions meet the learning requirement, the strategy monitors the engine and determines the values required for ideal idle calibration. The Idle Air Trim values are stored in a table for reference. This table is used by the PCM as a correction factor when controlling idle speed. The table is stored in keep alive memory (KAM) and retains the learned values even after the engine is shut off. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is output if the Idle Air Trim has reached its learning limits.

Whenever an IAC component is replaced or cleaned or a service affecting idle is performed, it is recommended that keep alive memory be cleared. This is necessary so the idle strategy does not use the previously learned Idle Air Trim values. It is important to note that erasing DTCs with a scan tool does not reset the Idle Air Trim table.

Once keep alive memory has been reset, the engine must idle for 15 minutes (actual time varies between strategies) to learn new idle air trim values. Idle quality will improve as the strategy adapts. Adaptation occurs in four separate modes. The modes are shown in the following table.

IDLE AIR TRIM LEARNING MODES
Transmission Range - Air Conditioning Mode
NEUTRAL - A/C ON
NEUTRAL - A/C OFF
DRIVE - A/C ON
DRIVE - A/C OFF

Idle Speed Control Closed Throttle Determination

One of the fundamental criteria for entering rpm control is an indication of closed throttle. Throttle mode is always calculated to the lowest learned throttle position (TP) voltage seen since engine start. This lowest learned value is called "ratch," since the software acts like a one-way ratch. The ratch value (voltage) is displayed as the TPREL PID. The ratch value is relearned after every engine start. Ratch will learn the lowest, steady TP voltage seen after the engine starts. In some cases, ratch can learn higher values of TP. The time to learn the higher values is significantly longer than the time to learn the lower values. The brakes must also be applied to learn the higher values.

All PCM functions are done using this ratch voltage, including idle speed control. The PCM goes into closed throttle mode when the TP voltage is at the ratch (TPREL PID) value. Increase in TP voltage, normally less than 0.05 volts, will put the PCM in part throttle mode. Throttle mode can be viewed by looking at the TP MODE PID. With the throttle closed, the PID must read C/T (closed throttle). Slightly corrupt values of ratch can prevent the PCM from entering closed throttle mode. An incorrect part throttle indication at idle will prevent entry into closed throttle rpm control, and could result in a high idle. Ratch can be corrupted by a throttle position sensor or circuit that "drops out" or is noisy, or by loose/worn throttle plates that close tight during a decel and spring back at a normal engine vacuum.

ISSUE: During highway deceleration or engine start-up, there may be a "Hooting" noise coming from the engine compartment and/or higher than normal engine idle speed. This may be caused by a resonance in the fresh air supply tube to the IAC Valve (brought on by the IAC Valve pintle bouncing).

ACTION: Check for any loose vacuum lines and repair as necessary. If the noise persists, install an Expansion Chamber Hose Assembly to break up the resonance wave and IAC valve pintle bouncing, and install a new IAC valve.

ISSUE: All Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounting screws have a "Pozidrive" head. The "Pozidrive" head looks a lot like a Phillips screw head. Use of a Phillips head screwdriver to remove a "Pozidrive" screw will normally result in a rounded or damaged screw head. Many technicians think it is an overtorqued or "frozen" screw. An adhesive was also used as a thread sealant starting with the 1988 model year. This adhesive requires still more effort to loosen and remove the screw.

ACTION: To prevent rounded or damaged screw heads when servicing the TPS mounting screws, technicians should always use a #2 "Pozidrive" screwdriver.

TSB 97-06-28 Ratcheting Noise from the Front Axle and/or a Self-Engagement of the Automatic Hub Locks, Motoring Torque

ISSUE: A "ratcheting" noise from the front axle and/or a self-engagement of the automatic hub locks may occur on some vehicles. This may be caused by a combination of high axle motoring torque and hub locks which require little torque input to engage.

ACTION: Reduce the axle motoring torque by replacing the differential side gear thrust washers and adjusting the pinion preload. This procedure will reduce the axle motoring torque to a level below the required hub lock torque to engage. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

NOTE: THE FRONT AXLE SHOULD BE "BROKEN-IN" FOR 402 km (250 MILES) PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. TO BREAK-IN THE FRONT AXLE, ENGAGE FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE, DRIVE FORWARD AND THEN SHIFT OUT OF FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE HUB LOCKS. DRIVING WITH THE HUBS ENGAGED WILL BREAK-IN THE AXLE. IF THE VEHICLE IS BACKED UP DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THE HUB LOCKS WILL DISENGAGE AND WILL HAVE TO BE ENGAGED AGAIN BY REPEATING THIS PROCEDURE.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

Remove the front driveshaft and tie a 12-pound test monofilament fish line between the front output yoke of the transfer case and the round locator hole on the side of the transfer case (Figure 1). Drive the vehicle in two-wheel-drive with the hubs unlocked for a minimum of 3 km (2 miles), including some lock-to-lock figure eight turns. Refer to the following two conditions. If the fish line breaks, the concern is being generated by the transfer case. It will require further diagnosis and possible repair. Refer to Section C - Transfer Case Diagnosis And Repair of this article. If the fish line did not break, proceed to Section A - Measure The Motoring Torque Of The Front Drive Axle of this article and follow through all of the service procedure until the concern is resolved.

A - MEASURE THE MOTORING TORQUE OF THE FRONT DRIVE AXLE
1. With the vehicle on a lift, remove both hub locks.

2. With the left axle shaft free to rotate:
a. Slowly rotate the right axle shaft in a clockwise direction using the Axle Torque Metering Socket (T96T-3219-A for F-150/Bronco and T96T-3219-B for F-250, found in the 1996 Essential Service Tool Kit), and a dial or beam-type inch-pound torque wrench. Stop at the highest reading, then restart and record the breakaway torque reading. Repeat this procedure in a counterclockwise direction, stopping at the highest reading, then restart and record the breakaway torque reading.
b. Repeat the procedure in Section A, 2a, for the left axle shaft.

3. With the left axle shaft held from rotating (place a screwdriver in the U-joint to prevent the axle shaft from rotating):
a. Repeat the procedure in Section A, 2a.
b. Repeat the procedure in Section A, 2b.

4. If all of the torque readings through the differential obtained in Section A, 2a and 2b, are 2.8 N-m (25 lb-in) or less AND if all of the torque readings through the pinion (opposite axle held) obtained in Section A, 3a and 3b are 6.8 N-m (60 lb-in) or less, return the vehicle to the customer and ask that an additional 240 km (150 miles), with the hubs engaged, be put on the vehicle and note any additional occurrence of hub lock self-engagement.

5. After the 240 km (150 miles) have been driven, repeat Section A, Steps 2 and 3.
a. If the torque measurements have dropped, the self-engagement should be eliminated.
b. If the torque measurements have not dropped, and the concern continues, proceed to Section B.

B - FRONT DRIVE AXLE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR
1. If all torque readings obtained in Section A, 2a and 2b, are 2.8 N-m (25 lb-in) or less, the differential side gear thrust washers DO NOT need to be replaced. Proceed to Section B, Step 2. If any of the torque readings through the differential obtained in Section A, 2a and 2b, were over 2.8 N-m (25 lb-in), replace the two (2) flat differential side gear thrust washers (Figure 2) with the 0.635mm (0.025") thick washers supplied with the Axle Motoring Torque Reduction Kit (F6TZ-4228-BA). Follow the procedure listed in the appropriate year F-Series/Bronco Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, Section 05-03A for differential and carrier removal instructions.

2. If any of the torque readings through the pinion (opposite axle held) obtained in Section A, 3a and 3b, are over 6.8 N-m (60 lb-in), measure the pinion bearing pre-load to determine if the pinion should be re-shimmed using the Axle Motoring Torque Reduction Kit (F6TZ-4228-BA).
a. Follow the procedure listed in the appropriate year F-Series/Bronco Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, Section 05-03A for differential and carrier removal instructions.
b. While the differential assembly is out of the axle housing, check the pinion for smooth, pulse-free rotation.
c. Slowly rotate the pinion in the carrier using a dial or beam-type inch-pound torque wrench. Stop at the highest reading, then restart and record the breakaway torque reading. Measure and record the torque required to rotate the pinion.
d. If the breakaway torque is more than 0.7 N-m (6 lb-in) greater than the torque to rotate and/or the pinion rotation is not smooth and pulse-free, inspect the pinion bearings for cage deformation and/or irregular roller or cup wear patterns. Replace the bearing (4621-outer, 4630-inner) if either condition is found.

NOTE: USE OLD PINION NUT AND WASHER TO ESTABLISH THE SHIM PACK REQUIRED FOR REDUCED PINION TORQUE TO ROTATE. ONLY USE NEW PINION NUT AND WASHER AFTER REQUIRED SHIM PACK HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

e. If the pinion torque to turn is greater than 2.3 N-m (20 lb-in), adjust the shim pack (using the shims provided in the kit) so that pinion torque to turn is 1.7 N-m (15 lb-in). For each thousandth of an inch added to the shim pack, the torque to rotate the pinion will decrease by approximately 0.9 N-m (8 lb-in).

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW ANY PINION END PLAY IN THE PINION BEARING ADJUSTMENT.

f. While the axle shafts are out of the axle assembly, inspect the U-joints for freedom of movement and replace if seized.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE 80W90 OR 90W GEAR LUBE.

g. Reassemble the front drive axle following the procedure listed in the appropriate year F-Series/Bronco Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, Section 05-03A for differential and carrier installation instructions. Replace the pinion nut and washer with those supplied in the kit. If the ring gear was removed from the differential, replace the ring gear bolts with those supplied in the kit. Fill the axle assembly with 4X4 Gear Oil (F1TZ-19580-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C191-A).
h. Recheck torque reading in Section A, Step 2a to verify that axle modifications have been performed properly.
i. Return the vehicle to the customer and ask the customer to drive the vehicle for 80 km (50 miles) with the hubs locked to "break-in" the modified axle. To break-in axle, engage four-wheel-drive, drive forward, and then shift out of four-wheel-drive without disengaging the hub locks. If the vehicle is backed up during this time period, the hub locks will disengage and will have to be engaged again by repeating this procedure.

If this procedure has not resolved the concern, call the Self-Engagement Hotline at 1-503-786-5486 (Monday-Friday, 10:00 AM-6:30 PM Eastern Time).

C - TRANSFER CASE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR

1. Check the transfer case for proper amount of Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).

2. Measure the end play of the rear output shaft using a dial indicator. If the end play is over 1.27mm (0.050"), there is a possibility that one (1) of the two (2) rear output snap rings is missing or out of position. Note end play for reassembly purposes. Regardless of end play, proceed to the following Step 2a.
a. Disassemble the transfer case following the procedure listed in the appropriate year F-Series/Bronco Powertrain/Drivetrain Service Manual, Section 07-07.
b. Inspect for missing or out of place rear output shaft snap rings. Repair or replace as necessary. THIS STEP DOES NOT APPLY TO THE BORG WARNER 4407 TRANSFER CASE.
c. Check for a minimum of 0.25mm (0.010") clearance between sprocket and lockup hub on the rear output shaft using a shim gauge. If insufficient clearance exists, replace rear output shaft (-7061-), drive sprocket (-7177-), and hub shift collar (-7100- for manual shift and -7G362- for electric shift).
d. Inspect the disassembled transfer case for galling in the following locations:
* Between the drive sprocket bore and the rear output shaft journal. If galling exists, replace both components.
* Between the sprocket thrust faces, the rear output shaft shoulder and hub shift collar. If galling exists, replace the rear output shaft, sprocket and lockup hub.
e. Assemble the replacement sprocket and lockup hub on the rear output shaft with a snap ring.
f. Clean pump screen and magnet.

3. After reassembly, refill the transfer case with Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) (XT-2-QDX), or equivalent meeting the Mercon specification, to just below the fill plug hole.

4. If the transfer case diagnosis and repair has not resolved the concern, proceed to Section A - Measure The Motoring Torque Of The Front Drive Axle.

The Axle Motoring Torque Reduction Kit (F6TZ-4228-BA) contains the following:
* Two (2) 0.025" Differential Side Gear Washers
* Two (2) 0.005" Pinion Shims
* Three (3) 0.003" Pinion Shims
* One (1) Pinion Seal
* One (1) Pinion Washer

TSB 96-12-09 Traction-Lok Differential - 7.5" and 8.8" Chatter During Tight Turns, or Turns After Extended Highway Driving
Publication Date: JUNE 3, 1996

FORD: 1989-96 CROWN VICTORIA, MUSTANG, THUNDERBIRD
LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1989-96 COUGAR, GRAND MARQUIS, TOWN CAR
LIGHT TRUCK: 1989-96 AEROSTAR, BRONCO, E-150, RANGER

1991-96 EXPLORER

ISSUE: A "chatter" noise can be felt and/or heard during tight turns or turns after an extended period of highway driving. This is due to insufficient specified friction modifier, or over-shimming of the clutch packs within Traction-Lok differentials.

ACTION: Install revised Clutch Pack Replacement Kit (F5ZZ-4947-BA for 7.5" ring gear and F5AZ-4947-BA for 8.8" ring gear), with improved friction material, in the differential after confirming the "chatter" concern with a road test of the vehicle. Refer to the Instruction Sheet within the kit for details.

NOTE: THE CLUTCH PACK REPLACEMENT KIT INCLUDES SELECTED SHIMS. IT WILL NOT REQUIRE THE ORDERING OF INDIVIDUAL SHIMS BASED UPON TEARDOWN MEASUREMENTS.

TSB 88-08-09 Oil Dipstick
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
Publication Date: APRIL 15, 1988

FORD: 1984-88 ALL CAR LINES

MERKUR: 1985-88 ALL CAR LINES
LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-88 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES

ISSUE: The "markings" on the engine oil level dipstick (indicator) may not be read correctly or could possibly be misinterpreted. This can result in overfilling the engine with oil in newly delivered vehicles or thinking that the engine has been overfilled with the specified amount of oil during oil and filter changes.

ACTION: If service is required, use the following guidelines to make sure of correct oil fill.

NOTE: PROPER OIL FILL IS BASED ON A SPECIFIED VOLUME AND IS LISTED IN THE "VEHICLE ENGINE OIL LEVEL CAPACITY SPECIFICATION CHART" AND THE "FLUID REFILL CAPACITIES CHART" OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS GUIDE. USE THESE RECOMMENDED VOLUMES WHENEVER REFILLING THE ENGINE WITH OIL.

Old Style Design Dipstick
On "MAX/ADD" style dipsticks the "MAX" line represents an allowable tolerance limit of approximately 1/2 quart above the specified (normal) engine operating level. The oil level of a properly filled engine should indicate an oil level reading in the upper crosshatched area of the dipstick.

NOTE: DO NOT "TOP OFF" TO THE "MAX" LINE. IF THE OIL LEVEL GOES ABOVE THE "MAX" LINE, A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF OIL SHOULD BE REMOVED TO BRING THE OIL LEVEL READING BACK INTO THE CROSSHATCHED AREA OF THE DIPSTICK.

New Style Design Dipstick
On "FULL/ADD", "FULL/ADD 1 QUART" or "F" style dipsticks the oil level of an engine filled with the correct amount of oil, as listed in the "Vehicle Oil Capacity Specification Chart" will normally occur slightly above the "FULL" line. This occurs because the "FULL" mark on the dipstick represents the lowest level of oil that could occur when an engine is filled with the specified volume of oil. This variation in oil level is due to manufacturing tolerances and oil level checking conditions.

ISSUE: Reports of premature engine failure suggest some overhauled, new and/or remanufactured engine oil Systems are not correctly primed prior to initial engine start-up, after being installed in the vehicle. This may cause oil starvation during initial engine start-up.ACTIONPrior to starting a new, overhauled or remanufactured engine, the oil pump and oil system should be primed to eliminate the possibility of oil starvation at start-up. Refer to the following Service Information for details.

SERVICE INFORMATION: Regardless of engine design, it is extremely important that the engine oil pump is correctly primed, prior to initial engine start-up.

Overhead Cam Engines (OHC): Overhead cam engines use a G-rotor pump design and is driven by the crankshaft. If the engine is overhauled, the oil pump (prior to assembly) should be fed oil through the oil pick-up passage, prior to installing the pick-up tube and screen assembly. This can usually be accomplished by rotating the oil pump while oil is being fed into the oil pump inlet. Once the oil pump is primed, the oil pump can then be installed onto the engine.Remanufactured engines are usually cold tested before leaving the plant. As a result, the oil pump should not have to be removed from the engine and primed. Overhead cam engines, whether overhauled or remanufactured, prior to starting the engine, ensure the engine crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil. Disable the fuel supply to the fuel injectors (disable inertia fuel shut-off switch) and crank the engine in fifteen (15) second increments, until the oil pump is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained. NOTE: ENSURE THE INERTIA FUEL SHUT-OFF SWITCH IS RE-ENABLED PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE.

Overhead Valve Engines (OHV): Overhead valve engines (push-rod type) use an oil pump driven by the camshaft via an intermediate shaft connected to the distributor or camshaft synchronizer assembly.Whether the engine is overhauled or remanufactured, the oil pump should be primed prior to starting the engine. If the engine is overhauled, ensure the crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil and using an engine oil pump priming tool kit, (commercially available) rotate oil pump until it is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained.If a remanufactured engine is being installed, after the installation has been completed, ensure the crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil. Disable the fuel supply to the fuel injectors (disable inertia fuel shut-off switch) and crank the engine in (15) second increments, until the oil pump is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained. NOTE ENSURE THE INERTIA FUEL SHUT-OFF SWITCH IS RE-ENABLED PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE.

TSB 89-09-10 Normal Oil Consumption
Publication Date: MAY 3, 1989

FORD: 1986-89 ALL FORD LINES
LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1986-89 ALL LINCOLN-MERCURY LINES
MERKUR: 1986-89 ALL MERKUR LINES
LIGHT TRUCK: 1986-89 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES

ISSUE: The following information can be used to inform vehicle owners about "normal" oil consumption in today's engines.

ACTION: Use the following information to assist in explaining "normal" oil consumption to vehicle owners.

The amount of oil an engine uses will vary with the way the vehicle is driven in addition to normal engine-to-engine variation. This is especially true during the first 7500 miles (12000 kilometers), when a new engine is being "broken-in" or until certain internal engine components become conditioned. Vehicles used in heavy duty operation (severe service) may use more oil. The following are examples of heavy duty operation:
* Trailer towing applications
* Taxi cab applications
* Police service applications
* Severe loading applications
* Sustained high speed operation

Engines need oil to lubricate the following internal components:
* Engine block cylinder walls
* Pistons and piston rings
* Intake and exhaust valve stems
* Intake and exhaust valve guides
* All internal engine components

When the pistons move downward, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder walls. The thin film of oil is burned away on the firing stroke during combustion. If an engine burned a drop of oil during each firing stroke, oil consumption would be about one (1) quart for every mile traveled. Fortunately modern engines use much less oil than this example. However, even efficient engines will use some oil or they would quickly wear out. Additionally as the vehicle is operated, some oil is drawn into the combustion chambers past the intake and exhaust valve stem seals and burned.

A lot of different things can affect oil consumption rates. The following is a partial list of these items:
* Engine size
* Operator driving habits
* Ambient temperature
* Quality and viscosity of the oil

Operation under varying conditions can be frequently misleading. A vehicle that has been run for several thousand miles (kilometers) of short trip operation or below freezing ambient temperatures, may have consumed a "normal" amount of oil. However, when checking the engine oil level, it may measure up to the full mark on the dipstick due to dilution (condensation and fuel) in the engine crankcase. The vehicle then might be driven at high speeds on the highway where the condensation and fuel boil off. The next time the engine oil is checked, it may appear that a quart of oil was used in a hundred or so miles. This perceived 100-mile per quart (160-kilometer per quart) oil consumption rate causes customer concern even though the actual overall all oil consumption rate was about 1500-miles per quart (2400-kilometers per quart).

Make sure the selected engine oil meets the recommended API performance category "SG" and SAE viscosity grade as shown in the vehicle Owner Guide. It is also important that the engine oil is changed at the intervals specified for the typical operating conditions of the customer. This information is available in the Owner Guide, Maintenance Schedule and Record log.

ISSUE: Excessive oil consumption on 5.0L EFI engines may be caused by one or more of the following:
* Oil leaks from gaskets
* Poor sealing of the lower intake manifold
* Intake and exhaust valve stem seals
* Piston rings

ACTION: Perform an inspection and oil consumption test as described in the following service procedure to determine if an excessive oil consumption condition exists. If an excessive oil consumption condition is present, install new guide mounted valve stem seals for a more positive fit and new piston rings with improved oil control. Refer to the following procedure for service installation details.

EXTERNAL OIL LEAK INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE: CHECK ALL GASKETS AND SEALS FOR OIL LEAKAGE.
1. Place the vehicle in a stall that has a hoist. Make sure the floor under the vehicle is clean and free of oil.
2. Inspect the engine for signs of oil leakage.
3. Clean any areas where oil looks like it may be leaking.
4. Run the engine for five (5) minutes at varying engine RPM.
NOTE: DO NOT EXCEED 2500 RPM.
5. Turn the engine off and re-inspect the engine for signs of oil leaks.
6. If an external oil leak is found, repair as required and repeat Steps 4 and 5. If no external oil leak is found, proceed to Step 7.
7. Torque the lower intake manifold using the following two (2) step procedure before proceeding to the "CUSTOMER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST."
a. Torque the lower intake manifold bolts in sequence to 15-20 lb-ft (20-27 N-m).
b. Once again, torque the lower intake manifold bolts in sequence to 23-25 lb-ft (32-34 N-m).

CUSTOMER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST
NOTE: SEE THE WARRANTY AND POLICY MANUAL FOR APPLICABLE CHARGES.
1. Drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter.
2. Install a new FL1-A oil filter.
3. Install five (5) quarts of Ford XO-10W30-QP engine oil in passenger cars and six (6) quarts in light truck applications. An equivalent oil can be used as long as it meets Ford specification ESE-M2C153-E and API SG.
4. Make sure the vehicle has the correct dipstick. Check the engineering part number stamped on the dip stick against the information provided in the dip stick application chart that follows.

5. Run the engine for two (2) minutes then turn the engine off.
6. Let the oil drain back into the oil pan for at least three (3) minutes before going to Step 7.
7. With the engine off and the vehicle parked on level ground, remove the engine oil dip stick and wipe it clean. Fully re-install the dip stick, then remove it again.
8. See where the oil level is on the graphic, stamped on the dip stick. The oil level should be between the top of the cross hatch area and the "F" in "FULL".
9. Using a file, scribe a notch on the edge of the dip stick where the actual oil level is at.
NOTE: THE SCRIBE MARK ON THE DIP STICK IS THE ACTUAL OIL LEVEL FULL MARK. USE THE SCRIBE MARK AS THE INDICATOR FOR ALL FUTURE OIL READINGS THAT ARE TAKEN.
10. Record the mileage on the vehicle.
11. When the vehicle is returned to the customer, show them where the dip stick is located and how to read it. Make sure you point out that the scribed notch on the dip stick is the "True Full Mark". Also point out the following to the customer:
* Your vehicle is now part of an engine oil consumption test.
* The vehicle has new engine oil and a new oil filter.
* Your vehicle's mileage has been recorded.
* You are to check the engine oil level every time you stop for fuel.
* If the engine oil level indicated on the dip stick is in the "ADD ONE QUART" range, contact the dealership to return for a re-inspection.
* NOTE: DO NOT ADD ENGINE OIL. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO ESTABLISH THE CORRECT CONSUMPTION RATE.
12. When the customer returns for the re-inspection, make sure the engine oil level is in the "ADD ONE QUART" area on the dip stick.
13. Check and record the vehicle's mileage at this time. This will be needed to calculate the oil consumption rate later.
14. Add and record the amount of oil it takes to restore the engine oil level on the dip stick to the "True Full Mark" scribed during Step 9.
15. Calculate the oil consumption rate as shown in the following example:
* Starting Odometer Reading recorded in Step 10 at start of test = 22,100
* Ending Odometer Reading recorded in Step 13 at end of test = 22,800
* Accumulated mileage = 700 miles
* Oil added = 1 quart
Once you have the accumulated mileage and the oil added, use the following formula to calculate the actual oil consumption:
* Calculated oil consumption = Accumulated miles(divide by) oil added (in quarts)
* 700 miles per quart = 1 quart
NOTE: RECORD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST INFORMATION ON A DEALER SERVICE REPORT . OBTAIN A COPY OF THE DEALER SERVICE REPORT (NO. 363-100D REVISED 1-90) FROM THE ORIGINAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. (IT IS LOCATED IN THE BACK OF BULLETIN 90-01, BEHIND THE SERVICE INFORMATION PAGE.) AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS FORM, MAIL IT TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. A SAMPLE DEALER SERVICE REPORT INDICATING THE REQUIRED INFORMATION IS SHOWN IN FIGURE 3.
16. If the vehicle did not use one (1) quart or less of engine oil within 900 miles, an oil consumption concern is not present. Remind the customer at the time of vehicle return to use the recommended 10W30 API SG engine oil. No further action is required at this point.
17. If the engine oil consumption test indicates that the vehicle used one (1) quart or more of engine oil in less than 900 miles, proceed to the "PISTON RING & VALVE SEAL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE".

PISTON RING & VALVE SEAL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE.
WARNING: THE ENGINE MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE TO PERFORM THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE. IT IS IMPORATANT THAT THE ENGINE IS FREE OF EXTERNAL OIL LEAKS WHEN RE-ASSEMBLED.
1. Remove the engine from the vehicle.
2. Place the engine on an engine stand.
3. Remove the upper and lower intake manifolds. Refer to the appropriate model year Shop Manual, Section 21-21 for service details.

ISSUE: Reports of premature engine failure suggest some overhauled, new and/or remanufactured engine oil Systems are not correctly primed prior to initial engine start-up, after being installed in the vehicle. This may cause oil starvation during initial engine start-up.ACTIONPrior to starting a new, overhauled or remanufactured engine, the oil pump and oil system should be primed to eliminate the possibility of oil starvation at start-up. Refer to the following Service Information for details.

SERVICE INFORMATION: Regardless of engine design, it is extremely important that the engine oil pump is correctly primed, prior to initial engine start-up.

Overhead Cam Engines (OHC): Overhead cam engines use a G-rotor pump design and is driven by the crankshaft. If the engine is overhauled, the oil pump (prior to assembly) should be fed oil through the oil pick-up passage, prior to installing the pick-up tube and screen assembly. This can usually be accomplished by rotating the oil pump while oil is being fed into the oil pump inlet. Once the oil pump is primed, the oil pump can then be installed onto the engine.Remanufactured engines are usually cold tested before leaving the plant. As a result, the oil pump should not have to be removed from the engine and primed. Overhead cam engines, whether overhauled or remanufactured, prior to starting the engine, ensure the engine crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil. Disable the fuel supply to the fuel injectors (disable inertia fuel shut-off switch) and crank the engine in fifteen (15) second increments, until the oil pump is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained. NOTE: ENSURE THE INERTIA FUEL SHUT-OFF SWITCH IS RE-ENABLED PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE.

Overhead Valve Engines (OHV): Overhead valve engines (push-rod type) use an oil pump driven by the camshaft via an intermediate shaft connected to the distributor or camshaft synchronizer assembly.Whether the engine is overhauled or remanufactured, the oil pump should be primed prior to starting the engine. If the engine is overhauled, ensure the crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil and using an engine oil pump priming tool kit, (commercially available) rotate oil pump until it is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained.If a remanufactured engine is being installed, after the installation has been completed, ensure the crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil. Disable the fuel supply to the fuel injectors (disable inertia fuel shut-off switch) and crank the engine in (15) second increments, until the oil pump is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained. NOTE ENSURE THE INERTIA FUEL SHUT-OFF SWITCH IS RE-ENABLED PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE.

TSB 93-25-11 4.9L New Longer Main Bearing Cap Bolts/Studs
Publication Date: DECEMBER 8, 1993
LIGHT TRUCK: 1993-1994 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES

ISSUE: Beginning approximately September 1, 1993, a change occurred with the 4.9L block and with the main bearing cap bolts and studs. Main bearing cap bolt holes in the block were drilled and tapped 0.18" (4.572mm) deeper than in previous engines. The change in drilling depth was necessary to retain bolt commonality with the new longer 5.0L main bearing cap bolts at the engine assembly plant.

ACTION: When service is required on 4.9L engines, Use only the proper (shorter) bolts and studs (service bolt C2OZ-6345-A, service stud C6TZ-6345-C) for all engines. The new longer main bearing cap fasteners will not be released for servicing 4.9L engines.

CAUTION: THE NEW LONGER MAIN BEARING CAP BOLTS AND STUDS MUST NEVER BE USED WITH BLOCK ASSEMBLIES BUILT BEFORE 9/1/93. IF LONGER BOLTS AND STUDS ARE USED IN AN OLDER BLOCK ASSEMBLY, A LOOSE MAIN BEARING CAP MAY OCCUR, RESULTING IN SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE.

NOTE: FOR SERVICE, THE SHORTER BOLTS AND STUDS MAY BE USED WITH OLDER OR NEWER CYLINDER BLOCK ASSEMBLIES

TSB 89-01-15 Pre-'87 4.9L Oil Pan Sealing

APPLICABILITY:
LIGHT-TRUCK:
1988-89 E & F-SERIES, BRONCO

ISSUE: Engine oil leaking from the oil pan after the one (1) piece oil pan gasket (included in E8TZ-6E078-C) has been replaced may be caused by not applying RTV sealer on the oil pan and engine block mating surface. The oil leak could be mistaken for a rear crankshaft oil seal leak.

ACTION: Apply RTV silicone sealer on the oil pan and engine block mating surface. Refer to the following procedure for RTV sealer application locations. Insert this information in your 1988 and 1989 Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 21-11 for future reference.

RTV SEALER APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Clean gasket residue from the oil pump, front engine cover, engine block, rear main bearing cap slot and oil pump inlet tube and screen.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT ALL THREADED HOLES USED FOR ATTACHING THE OIL PAN TO THE ENGINE BLOCK AND FRONT COVER ARE CLEAN.

2. Apply a pressure sensitive silicone based adhesive such as Dow, Loctite or equivalent on the engine block rails and front engine cover mating surface.
3. Apply sealant D6AZ-19562-AA on the parting line at the front of the engine block between the engine block and engine front cover as shown.
4. Apply sealant D6AZ-19562-AA into the bearing cap seal groove at the engine block junction as shown in Figure 1, View A.
5. Immediately install the oil pan gasket on the engine block mating surface.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE OIL PAN GASKET IS TUCKED INTO THE REAR MAIN BEARING CAP SLOT.

6. Place the inlet tube and screen assembly in the oil pan.
7. Position the oil pan under the engine.
8. Install the inlet tube and screen assembly on the oil pump using a new gasket. Torque the two (2) bolts to 10-15 lb.ft. (14-20 N-m) and the one (1) nut to 22-32 lb.ft. (30-43 N-m).
9. Position the oil pan to the engine block and install reinforcement plates.
10. Install four (4) new attaching bolts, (390674-S100) in the positions shown. Tighten the four (4) bolts by hand.
11. Install the remaining new attaching bolts, (390674-S100) except the 3 on the arch below the crank. Torque the bolts simultaneously to 12-18 lb.ft. (16-24 N-m).

NOTE: SEALER D8AZ-19554-A CAN BE APPLIED TO THE BOLT THREADS TO IMPROVE SEALING IN EXPOSED AREAS OF THE OIL GALLERY.

12. Install the three (3) remaining new bolts, (390674-S100) on the arch below the crank. Torque the bolts to 12-18 lb.ft. (16-24 N-m).

ISSUE: Reports of premature engine failure suggest some overhauled, new and/or remanufactured engine oil Systems are not correctly primed prior to initial engine start-up, after being installed in the vehicle. This may cause oil starvation during initial engine start-up.

ACTION: Prior to starting a new, overhauled or remanufactured engine, the oil pump and oil system should be primed to eliminate the possibility of oil starvation at start-up. Refer to the following Service Information for details.

SERVICE INFORMATION: Regardless of engine design, it is extremely important that the engine oil pump is correctly primed, prior to initial engine start-up.

Overhead Cam Engines (OHC, including modular V8s): Overhead cam engines use a G-rotor pump design and is driven by the crankshaft. If the engine is overhauled, the oil pump (prior to assembly) should be fed oil through the oil pick-up passage, prior to installing the pick-up tube and screen assembly. This can usually be accomplished by rotating the oil pump while oil is being fed into the oil pump inlet. Once the oil pump is primed, the oil pump can then be installed onto the engine.Remanufactured engines are usually cold tested before leaving the plant. As a result, the oil pump should not have to be removed from the engine and primed. Overhead cam engines, whether overhauled or remanufactured, prior to starting the engine, ensure the engine crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil. Disable the fuel supply to the fuel injectors (disable inertia fuel shut-off switch) and crank the engine in fifteen (15) second increments, until the oil pump is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained. NOTE: ENSURE THE INERTIA FUEL SHUT-OFF SWITCH IS RE-ENABLED PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE.

Overhead Valve Engines (OHV, including smallblock V8s): Overhead valve engines (push-rod type) use an oil pump driven by the camshaft via an intermediate shaft connected to the distributor or camshaft synchronizer assembly.Whether the engine is overhauled or remanufactured, the oil pump should be primed prior to starting the engine. If the engine is overhauled, ensure the crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil and using an engine oil pump priming tool kit, (commercially available) rotate oil pump until it is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained.If a remanufactured engine is being installed, after the installation has been completed, ensure the crankcase is filled to specification with engine oil. Disable the fuel supply to the fuel injectors (disable inertia fuel shut-off switch) and crank the engine in (15) second increments, until the oil pump is primed. An oil pressure gauge can be used to assist in determining when oil pressure is obtained. NOTE ENSURE THE INERTIA FUEL SHUT-OFF SWITCH IS RE-ENABLED PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE.

ISSUE: Some engine assemblies replaced under warranty have been found to be internally contaminated. This condition may be traceable to a previous repair involving removal of the valve cover(s), intake manifold and cylinder head(s). Scuffed pistons/bores, excessively worn crankshaft/camshaft bearings, low or no oil pressure, engine knocking and excessive oil consumption can result from improper engine gasket surface preparation.

ACTION: Refer to the following TSB article for gasket sealing surface preparation procedures recommended by Ford Motor Company.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Identify the composition of the component part before proceeding with a cleaning operation. Determine whether the part is cast iron, steel, aluminum or plastic. This can usually be distinguished by the inherent hardness and/or weight of the part.
2. If the part is iron or steel, use a scraper with a high carbon blade, for best results. The key is to use a high carbon steel blade that is "razor-sharp." With a sharp blade, very little effort is required to peel off the old gasket.
a. Lay the blade flat on the surface and push slowly and evenly. Don't allow the blade corners to tip in and mar the surface.
b. Rounding off the blade corners with a small grinder will prevent scratching and gouging of the gasket surface.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CARE TO KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF THE BLADE.
3. If the part is aluminum or plastic, a different scraper must be used. Carbon steel or any other steel edge will cut, mar, gouge or burr aluminum and plastic. A teflon or hard wooden scraper is recommended. First use a commercially-available spray solvent, allowing ample time for the solvent to act on the gasket. A suitable solvent should evaporate and leave no residue behind. Otherwise, the residue can cause a new leak to form.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ANY GASKET SURFACES TO BE CLEANED AND PREPARED FOR SEALING BY USING A HAND GRINDER, ROTARY WIRE BRUSH, SANDING DISC OR PAD OR ANY OTHER POWER TOOL USING AN ABRASIVE SURFACE AS A CUTTING TOOL. THESE TOOLS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO PROMOTE ENTRY OF SANDING GRIT AND GASKET MATERIAL INTO ENGINE CAVITIES. THESE TOOLS CAN DAMAGE THE SURFACE FINISH AND POSSIBLY DISTORT THE ORIGINAL FLATNESS OF THE COMPONENT, LEADING TO FURTHER VACUUM, COMPRESSION AND/OR FLUID LEAKS.
4. To prevent gasket material or other foreign matter from entering internal engine compartments, place CLEAN shop towels over exposed cavities. Use extreme care when removing the towels; remove them SLOWLY. Cloth towels can drop as much foreign material into the engine as they originally collected during cleaning operations.
5. Another alternative is to use a portable shop vacuum. Moving a vacuum nozzle closely along with the scraper edge will help direct loosened gasket particles into the vacuum and away from the engine.
6. The same care used in preparing the gasket surface should be practiced when assembling component parts such as the intake manifold and cylinder heads. Both are critical leak areas requiring extra care during assembly. Some things to consider are:
a. Not all engines use the same sealants in the same places. Some parts use no sealant at all.
b. Consult the service manual first. Don't assume that a gasket needs sealant. Some gaskets are designed with a pre-cast bead. Adding sealant to this design type will create a leak by shimming the two mating surfaces.
c. Although some aftermarket gaskets look the same as the ones removed, use only Ford original equipment parts to ensure that the customer receives consistent quality and value.
d. Avoid gasket locating products such as "tack'ems". These chemicals may leave residues in the engine that are incompatible with the oil, and may even cause damage to the catalytic converter.
7. Practice CLEANLINESS when reinstalling components and gaskets.
a. A small leak path can become a larger one as fluid erodes a gasket.
b. Keep dirt, lint and unwanted chemicals off new gaskets.
c. DO NOT assume that once dirt enters the engine that the oil filter will cleanse the oil to its original state and protect the engine from harmful abrasives. Particles such as silica (sand) are small enough to pass through even the best oil filters. The grinding effect of sand and dirt in oil on internal bearing or wear surfaces is comparable to the effect of valve compound for lapping-in valves.
8. Torque sequence of components such as intake manifold and cylinder heads is extremely critical for proper sealing.
a. Not only does sequencing make a more effective seal, it also protects the part from warpage or distortions caused by improper tightening. b. Aluminum is particularly susceptible to warpage from uneven tightening of fasteners.
c. In some instances, fasteners used on aluminum components must be loosened in sequence. Consult the service Manual in EVERY instance for correct torque and/or de-torque values and sequences.
9. After a repair job, it is a good practice to use a black light leak test to confirm that the repair was successful. For example, it would be easy to assume that the rear main crankshaft seal was leaking when in fact the intake manifold gasket allowed oil to run down the back of the engine. Consider all the facts which allow fluid to travel outside the engine (fan air blast, road air blast, gravity, or escaping/pressurized fluid spray.

To sum-up, a successful leak repair depends on:
* Accurate diagnosis of the leak using Ford-recommended test equipment and procedures.
* Surface preparation and gasket installation using the proper cleaning tools.
* Exercising care and cleanliness during assembly/disassembly of components.
* Use of genuine Ford OEM parts.

FSA 93B35 Starter Solenoid Inspection & Possible Replacement
Check the Ford website &/or the NHTSA to see if your VIN is affected.

1992 / 1993 F-Series Trucks (equipped with 4.9, 5.8, or 7.5L engines) & Certain 1992 Broncos (4.9L engine) All Equipped with Manual Transmissions - Starter Solenoid Inspection & Possible Replacement

Note that this is a safety recall, and any included vehicle will be repaired free, no matter how old it is, how long the owner waits to present it for repair, or how many times it has been sold.

Ford Motor Company is providing a no-charge Service Program to owners of certain 1992 Broncos and 1992 and 1993 F-Series Trucks to inspect the starter assembly, and, if necessary, replace the starter solenoid.

Reason For This Program
The starter solenoid may continue to keep the starter engaged after the ignition key is returned from the "start" position. This may result in overheating of the starter as it continues to run with the engine. The starter typically will not crank on subsequent attempts, causing a "No-Start" condition.

No Charge Service
At no charge to you, your dealer will inspect the starter and, if necessary, replace the starter solenoid. This program is available through 36 month / 36,000 mile Bumper-to-Bumper warranty, or through December 31, 1994, whichever provides greater coverage.

How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is one (1) hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your truck for one full working day. Call your dealer and ask for a service date and if parts are in stock. If your dealer does not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week. When you bring your truck in, give the dealer this letter. If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge.

Refunds
If you paid to have this service done before the date of this letter, Ford is offering a full refund. For the refund, please show your paid work-order to your Ford dealer.

Affected Vehicles: 1992-93 F-Series / Bronco Trucks

TSB 97-01-14 Cold Start Buzzing or Knocking, 4.9L Engines
Publication Date: JANUARY 2, 1997

LIGHT TRUCK: 1995-96 ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES

ISSUE: A "buzzing, rattling or chattering" noise may be coming from the right front of the engine compartment at idle, especially after a warm start. After 30-120 seconds, the noise stops. A cold engine may also exhibit a "knocking" noise. This may be due to the air check valve diaphragm pulsating which causes the various noises. The check valve may also cause back pressure, resulting in a knocking noise on some vehicles when cold.

ACTION: Replace the upstream air check valve. The revised check valve has a different diaphragm which should minimize the chance of the noises recurring. It also has less restriction which should reduce the knocking noise when cold. Refer to the following Service Procedure for removal and installation details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Locate the upstream air check valve which is in-line between the exhaust manifold and the diverter valve. Refer to the figure for the 1995-96 model year system description.
2. Start the engine and listen for buzzing noise in the engine compartmemt near the check valve. A vibration may also be felt in the hose between the check valve and diverter valve. The buzzing noise will occur when air is pumped upstream to the exhaust manifold, usually just after engine start-up, and will last 30-120 seconds. The noise will then quit as the air is diverted to the catalyst. The noise is more noticeable when the engine is warm. A knocking noise may only be evident when the engine is cold.
3. If the buzzing noise continues for more than 120 seconds, the check valve is not suspect. Attempt to isolate the noise by the use of a technician's stethoscope.
4. If the buzzing noise does not last for more than 120 seconds, replace the check valve which is in-line between the exhaust manifold and the diverter valve and confirm the noise is gone.

TSB 90-25-12 Vacuum Cruise System Diagnosis (pre-'93 F-series & Bronco)
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

See also:
. . . . . . . . . .

ISSUE: Integrated Vehicle Speed Control (IVSC) was introduced on some 1986 units. The IVSC system uses the EEC IV processor as the control module. Before IVSC a Stand Alone Speed Control System was used on all applications. The Stand Alone Speed Control System uses a separate control amplifier.

ACTION: Refer to the following diagnostic information when servicing speed control concerns. Refer to the Speed Control System Application chart to determine which type of system is used for a specific model.

NOTE: THE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES WILL APPLY TO THE STAND ALONE AND INTEGRATED VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEMS UNLESS A SPECIFIC VEHICLE TYPE IS REFERENCED.

"TRICKS OF THE TRADE"

Many speed control concerns can be easily resolved by using the following "Tricks of the Trade" diagnostics. If a concern cannot be resolved, refer to the shop manual, Section 37-05 for additional component testing.

VERIFY CUSTOMER CONCERN

Before performing speed control diagnosis, the customer concern should be verfied. Occasionally, the customer does not completely understand operation of the speed control system. If this is the case, the customer should be referred to the Owner Guide for complete speed control operating instructions.

Most misunderstanding involves operation of the RESUME feature. RESUME should be used to return to a previously set speed after speed control operation has been interrupted. The RESUME feature will not operate if the vehicle speed has been lowered through use of the COAST button. The release of the COAST button sets the new lower speed into the control memory. Also, RESUME will not work if the vehicle speed is below the minimum speed control operating speed of about 30 mph (48 km/h).

The RESUME function for the Stand-Alone Speed Control System may not activate with a momentary tap of the RESUME button. The RESUME button must be held down for a short time to ensure engagement.

Speed drops of more than 1 or 2 mph may occur while in speed control operation on grades or under other load conditions. This is especially true on vehicles that are equipped with automatic overdrive transmissions or with manual 5 speed transmissions. These speed drops are due to limited engine power available in the overdrive (or the highest gear of a manual transmission) mode of operation. Under heavy load conditions, such as hilly or mountainous areas or during trailer tow, the vehicle speed may drop even more. When speed drops of 10 - 13 mph (16 - 21 km/h) occur, the speed control system will, by design, automatically disengage.

SYSTEMS

The speed control system obtains vehicle speed information from the vehicle speed sensor. In most cars and trucks the sensor is mounted on the transmission or in-line with the speedometer cable. The sensor is driven from gearing in the transmission. On 1986-90 Lincoln Town Car, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Mark VII vehicles the speed signal comes from a speed sensor located in the Electronic Instrument Cluster. If the speedometer system is erratic or inoperative, it must be serviced before the speed control system is evaluated.

The speed control system also interacts with the brake system, and with the clutch system on manual transmission vehicles. Speed control requires electrical continuity through the stoplamps (and clutch switch on manual transmission vehicles) in order to operate. Proper stoplamp operation is required if the system is to disengage with brakes. Proper clutch switch operation is also required on manual transmission vehicles if the system is to disengage with clutch pedal actuation. Stoplamp and clutch switch circuit diagnosis is detailed in Section 37-05 of the appropriate Shop Manual.

NOTE: SPEED CONTROL WILL NOT DISENGAGE IF THE GEARS ARE SHIFTED ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL.

VISUAL INSPECTION

Visual inspection is an important part of diagnosis. The visual inspection should be done to locate obvious reason for the customer concern.

When performing visual inspection, check all items for abnormal conditions. Look for items such as bare, broken or disconnected wires and damaged vacuum hoses.

For the speed control to function properly, it is necessary that the speedometer cables, if so equipped, be properly routed and securely attached. All vacuum hoses must be securely attached and routed with no sharp bends or kinks. The servo (throttle actuator) and throttle linkage should operate freely and smoothly.

Any concerns found by the visual inspection should be corrected before further tests of the speed control system are made. The following items should be inspected.

GENERAL
* Does the horn work? If not, check the horn circuit fuse, horn relay and horn circuit wiring.
* Do the stoplamps light when the brake pedal is depressed? If not, check the stop lamp circuit fuse, stoplamps, wiring and stop lamp switch.

AMPLIFIER

Check for unseated connectors at the speed control amplifier. The amplifier location varies by carline. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual, Section 37-05, for location.
* Look for loose or unseated connector pins.
* Check for broken wires at the connectors.

SERVO

Check for the following items.
* Disconnected or cut vacuum hose from the servo to the manifold source.
* Loose or disconnected electrical connector, or broken wire.
* Loose, or cracked plastic elbow at the servo.
* Disconnected, or loose, dump valve hose at the servo.

ACTUATOR CABLE
* Misadjusted Bowden cable/bead chain. If misadjustment is suspected due to set speed error or excessive speed drop, the cable or chain should be readjusted.
* Cable loose, or not connected to the engine bracket (screw loose or missing).

DUMP VALVE
* Hose pinched or not connected to the dump valve.
* Dump valve is not fully seated into the retaining clip in the brake pedal support bracket.
* Check the dump valve adjustment. Readjust the dump valve if the yellow plunger is extended more than 1/4" when the brake pedal is not depressed.

VOLTAGE/RESISTANCE TESTS

If a concern cannot be found with a visual inspection, it can usually be found with an inspection. It can usually be isolated by making voltage and resistance measurements at the amplifier connectors (Stand-Alone System) or at the EEC-IV connector (Integrated System). The connectors must be unplugged for the resistance checks.

The following tables summarize the circuits and wire color codes used for the speed control system. The proper voltage/resistance readings at the amplifier or EEC-IV connectors are also given. Typical circuit numbers apply to both car and truck applications. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manuals, Section 37-05, or to the Electrical/Vacuum Trouble-Shooting Manuals for the exact circuit number or color code.

VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to circuit 57 (ground) of the Stand Alone Amplifier 6 way connector, or to Pin 40 or 60 of the EEC-IV connector (EEC power ground). Measure the DC or AC voltage with the positive lead of the voltmeter.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

Connect an ohmmeter between the designated circuits and make the resistance measurements with the ignition "OFF"

ABNORMAL OPERATION DURING "ACCEL" OR "COAST"

In 1986-88 models, the vehicle may exhibit hesitation while using the COAST mode, or hesitation and dropout while using the ACCELmode. This abnormal operation is caused by poor contact between the speed control brushes and the slip rings on the steering wheel. This poor contact is due to a buildup of contamination of the lubricating grease. The condition occurs more frequently when the temperature is hot and on vehicles with high mileage.

Correct the concern by removing the steering wheel and thoroughly cleaning the grease from the brushes and slip rings. Regrease using grease (E8AZ-19590-A). This new grease has been used in production since the beginning of the 1989 Model Year. Its use has resulted in a 90% reduction in the incidence of this concern.

SPEED CONTROL PERFORMANCE - AOD, AXOD AND MTX5

As noted in the Owner's Guide, it may be preferable to shift the AOD or AXOD to the "D" (overdrive lockout) or the MTX5 to 4th gear in mountainous areas or at high altitude to improve speed control performance.

On steep upgrades the vehicle may not be able to maintain speed while in overdrive, or 5th gear, resulting in a speed drop below the set speed. If the speed drop exceeds approximately 10-13 MPH, the speed control will automatically disengage and must be reset with the SET/ACCEL button. Performance will be improved by shifting to "D" (AOD or AXOD) or to 4th (MTX5).

If speed control performance is poor on moderate grades, the adjustment of the Bowden cable/bead chain should be checked and readjusted if necessary. The automatic transmission shift linkage should also be checked for proper adjustment.


STAND ALONE SPEED CONTROL VOLTAGE/RESISTANCE TEST CONNECTIONS

Locate Circuit 203 (orange/light blue). It is used ONLY on the 1991 Lincoln Town Car with electronic cluster. This circuit connects the speed control amplifier to a speed control "set" indicator which is located at the lower edge of the electronic cluster center section. The voltage at circuit 203 is normally 5.0V (speed control not set) and less than 1.0V when the speed control is set. Grounding circuit 203 pin will light the cluster display. The SPEED CONTROL display will light only when a set speed is being maintained and when using ACCEL or RESUME. The display will turn off when braking, using OFF or COAST, with the ignition off.

SPECIFIC CARLINE SYMPTOMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

If a particular condition is found during any of the visual checks, it should be corrected and the system performance re-evaluated.

TSB 89-02-07 Speedometer Accuracy
Publication Date: JANUARY 25, 1989

FORD: 1989 and prior ALL CAR LINES
LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1989 and prior ALL CAR LINES
LIGHT TRUCK: 1989 and prior ALL TRUCK LINES
MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK: 1989 and prior ALL MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK LINES

ISSUE: The accuracy of speedometer/odometer readings may be influenced by several vehicle components or systems. The information in this TSB article is intended to assist technicians in speedometer/odometer concern diagnosis.

ACTION: Use the following supplemental information to assist in speedometer/odometer diagnostics.

OPERATION: A mechanical analog speedometer displays vehicle speed and the odometer displays total distance traveled. The speedometer/odometer assembly is cable driven by either a transmission or a transaxle. All speedometer/odometer assemblies, except for police vehicles are the same with respect to the speed accuracy tolerance used during calibration. The odometer gear ratio is fixed so that all are identical and have no error in the speedometer head.

Electronic digital operation is similar. It could use a drive cable or a speed sensor to drive the speedometer/odometer. An electronic signal is sent from a speed sensor to the digital speedometer/odometer assembly. The speed sensor is driven by a transmission or a transaxle, similar to a cable.

Several areas of concern that may affect speedometer/odometer readings are tires, axle gear ratio and speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears.

TIRES: Improper tire rolling radius and inflation pressure, temperature and size may contribute to inaccurate system readings. System accuracy testing should be performed after the tires are set at the correct pressure as shown on the safety compliance certification label. The tire should be warmed for a short period. Best results are obtained on smooth, dry pavement while driving at a constant speed within the posted speed limit.

AXLE/TRANSAXLE RATIO: The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or check if the proper speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears are present. Various gear ratios are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns unless the gear ratio has been changed.
WARNING: NEVER CORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS BY CHANGING GEARS UNLESS THE ODOMETER IS ALSO OFF.

DRIVE/DRIVEN GEARS: The speedometer/odometer drive gear is located inside the transmission, transaxle or transfer case and is not easily accessed for change. The driven gear rotates the speedometer cable. Rear wheel drive vehicles have several driven gears with various numbers of teeth available to correct input to the speedometer/odometer head. Front wheel drive vehicles generally do not offer different gears for correction.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The maximum allowable odometer system accuracy error is %uFFFD 3.75% of the actual distance traveled. Ford Motor vehicles are well within those limits.

The speed indication is biased high, except on police vehicles with certified calibration speedometers/odometers. As a general rule, the indicated speed is equal to or greater than the actual speed. This is intended to protect the consumer against violating speed laws. Most customer concerns are related to speedometers reading too high at true speeds between 50 MPH and 65 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h). At that speed range, the worst case errors may indicate a speed that is 10% greater than true speed.

The speedometer head is an instrument which processes information sent to it by the rotating speedometer cable. If the system components send the wrong number of revolution per mile to the speedometer head, an inaccurate speed reading and amount of distanced traveled will be displayed. Since there is no error in the fixed gear ratio of the speedometer head odometer, start by checking the accuracy of the odometer even if the customer concern indicates a speed accuracy problem. Odometer accuracy can be checked by using roads established at mile increments or a known local course. If roads with mile markers are used, a five mile stretch is recommended to allow for inaccuracies. If an error is greater than 3.75%, a change to the transmission drive/driven gear selection, tire size, or tire inflation may need attention. The odometer should be checked again to verify any corrective action. If the indicated speed error exceeds 10% between 50 MPH and 60 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h), replace the speedometer/odometer assembly. Vehicles with transfer cases that have fluctuating readings may be due to slippage of drive gears, parts not splined or loose yoke nuts.

If the vehicle has speed control, the speed accuracy can be checked using the verified odometer vs. time. The formula is as follows:
3600 divded by TIME (seconds to cover one mile) = TRUE MPH(Km/h)

EXAMPLES:
60 MPH (96 Km/h) requires 60 seconds to cover one mile
55 MPH (88 Km/h) requires 65 and 3/4 seconds to cover one mile
50 MPH (80 Km/h) requires 72 seconds to cover one mile

Note that, everywhere this TSB mentions "electrolysis", the correct term is "galvanic action". Electrolysis is the breakdown of the molecules in an electrolytic solution into their component chemicals due to an electrical charge being applied to the solution. (Hydrogen being emitted from a battery under a hard charge is an example of electrolysis since the water is breaking down into Hydrogen & Oxygen.) Galvanism is a termed coined by Alessandro Volta when he attempted to duplicate Luigi Galvani's results in neuroelectrical stimulation. Volta studied the interaction of electricity & metals exposed to an electrolytic solution, and used it to create the Voltaic Pile. Since the phenomenon described in the TSB deals with the metal of the heater core & not the chemistry of the coolant, it's a galvanic process. Electrolysis does not occur, and wouldn't affect the heater core if it did.

This article supersedes TSB 01-15-06 to update the vehicle model years and Service Procedure.

ISSUE: The majority of repeat heater core leaks are due to high flow rate or use of poor quality coolant. However, electrolysis should also be checked, especially when repeat repairs have occurred.

ACTION: If the heater core is leaking, review the location of the leakage and check the condition of the coolant.

SERVICE PROCEDURE (SUPERCEDED)
1. If leaks are found on the inlet (or outlet) tubes entering / exiting the heater core, it is most likely due to due to high flow rate. Replace the heater core and install a restrictor in the heater hose closest to the engine block, reference Workshop Manual, Section 412.
2. lf leaks are found in the body of the heater core itself, and they do not appear to be the result of physical damage like contact or puncture, check the coolant for possible electrolysis.

Testing For Electrolysis
Check for voltage in the cooling system by touching the negative contact of a voltmeter to the battery ground or a known good ground and suspend the positive lead in the coolant, making sure it is in contact with the coolant, but not touching any metal part of the radiator or cooling system. Both AC and DC voltages must be checked. Vehicles normally have DC voltages; however, a faulty engine block heater or faulty diode in the alternator can produce AC voltages. It is understood that coolant is lost due to heater core failure but try to obtain a voltage reading on the old coolant in the engine block before addition or replacement. To keep more coolant from exiting the heater core, clamp off heater core lines and measure coolant in the engine block. Try not to dilute the original coolant with new coolant during testing if possible.
1. Determine whether coolant condition is acceptable.
a. Remove both cables from the battery and ensure they do not contact each other or the vehicle.
b. Touch negative lead of DC voltmeter to engine ground and positive lead in the coolant.
NOTE POSITIVE TEST PROBE IS IN THE COOLANT FOR TESTING.
c. Check the voltage in the cooling system. If less than or equal to 0.4 volts (VDC) OK, reconnect battery cables and proceed to Step 2.
d. lf greater than 0.4 V, flush cooling system thoroughly.
e. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
f. Reconnect battery cables.
g. Refill the system with appropriate Motorcraft� engine coolant.
2. Check for loose or missing grounds at static conditions.
a. Turn off all accessories. Turn ignition on but do not start engine.
b. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
c. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V on all grounds OK.
d. Any one greater than 0.4 V, check and clean ground cable connections.
e. Check accessories without using the on/off switch on the vehicle instrument panel; use a jumper wire to ground.
f. Plug in engine block heater, if equipped, and test.
g. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V.
h. Unplug engine block heater, if equipped.
3. Check for loose, missing, or inadequate grounds.
a. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
b. Crank engine but do not start.
c. Monitor voltage while cranking. Less than or equal to 0.4V OK
d. If greater than 0.4 V, ground or repair starter.
e. Start engine and run at about 2000 rpm.
f. Turn on all accessories including those customer only uses occasionally such as CB radio, cell phone, etc.
g. Test with ground probe to battery ground, engine ground, and vehicle ground sequentially.
h. Voltage less than or equal to 0.4 V OK
i. If greater than 0.4 V, turn off one item at a time until voltage drops to less than or equal to 0.4 V. Repair ground to the accessory just identified.
j. Recheck voltage less than or equal to 0.4 VDC
k. Turn the DVOM to AC volts.
l. Check for ANY AC voltage greater than 0.4.
m. If any AC voltage is present, try turning off each accessory one at a time including blower motor and any fan motors.
n. If AC voltage is still present, shut engine off and remove B from the alternator and tape it up, then retest.
o. If voltage drops gradually to less than or equal to 0.4 VAC, the ground straps may simply be overloaded by added accessories. Test by using a heavy gauge jumper to ground. If indicated, install heavier gauge ground strap(s) and recheck.
NOTE If vehicle is equipped with electric cooling fans, be sure they cycle during this testing and monitor voltage when they are on, and off.
CAUTION: DO NOT GROUND HEATER CORE. IF THE HEATER CORE IS GROUNDED, YOU HAVE PROVIDED THE ELECTROLYSIS A PATH THROUGH THE HEATER CORE. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE HEATER CORE TO BECOME AN ANODE OR RECEIVER AND IT WOULD PROMOTE THE ELECTROLYSIS, OR ANY STRAY VOLTAGE TO USE THE COOLANT AS THE GROUND PATH.
4. Refill the engine cooling system, reference Workshop Manual, Section 303-03.
NOTE IF THE HEAT OUTPUT IS INSUFFICIENT, OR IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES, VERIFY PROPER THERMOSTAT OPERATION AND REPEAT PROCEDURE IF REQUIRED.

WARRANTY STATUS: Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage

ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit (repeat) heater core leaks. This may be caused by a chemical reaction called electrolysis. Electrolysis involves an ion exchange between the heater core and engine coolant which can result in a breakdown of the heater core material. This is similar to the operation of a battery.

ACTION: (SUPERCEDED BY 06-21-19) Check for electrolysis on any vehicle with a heater core failure. If electrolysis is verified, flush the coolant and follow additional steps as required. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE - Electrolysis Inspection: (SUPERCEDED BY 06-21-19)
If there is a condition of a heater core leaking or repeat heater core leak, check for electrolysis using the following procedure:

1. To check for electrolysis use a DVOM set on DC volts. Place the positive probe of the meter in the engine coolant and the negative probe on the negative battery post.
2. Adjust engine throttle to 2000 RPM to properly get coolant flow and true electrolysis voltages.
3. If more than .4V is recorded, flush the coolant and recheck (follow guidelines in TSB 98-23-16 for Cougar). See Coolant Fill Procedure below to remove trapped air on 4.6/5.4/6.8L modular engines.
NOTE: EXPORT MARKETS, BE SURE THE WATER IS DESALINATED.
4. If there is still excessive voltage present in the coolant, check the engine to body/battery grounds. Also, verify proper grounding of any aftermarket electrical/electronic equipment which has been installed into the vehicle. Improperly grounded electrical devices can cause electrolysis to occur.
(SUPERCEDED BY 06-21-19) DO NOT PROCEED!
5. If the condition is still present after the grounds have been checked, it may be necessary to add extra grounds to the heater core and engine. A hose clamp can be used to secure a 16 AWG stranded copper wire to the heater core inlet tube. The other end should be secured to an EXISTING FASTENER on the body sheet metal. Extra grounds to the engine should be attached between EXISTING FASTENERS on the engine and body sheet metal. Verify continuity of any added grounds to the negative battery terminal.
6. If the condition is still present, add a restrictor (part F1UZ-18D406-A) on the inlet hose with the arrow facing the direction of coolant flow (toward heater core). Cut the line and install with 2 hose clamps. It is important that the restrictor be installed in the right direction of flow and as close to the engine block as possible (not near the heater core itself).

Coolant Fill Procedure (SUPERCEDED BY 06-21-19)
At times, in order to completely remove any trapped air in the cooling system of vehicles equipped with 4.6/5.4/6.8L modular engines, it may be necessary to use the following procedure:

1. Disconnect the heater hose at the right front or rear of the engine.
2. Remove the thermostat and housing.
3. Using the thermostat opening, carefully fill the engine with the proper clean coolant mixture until observed at the engine side heater hose connection.
4. Reconnect the heater hose and reinstall the thermostat and housing.
5. Fill the degas bottle to the coolant fill level mark.
6. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperatures.
7. Select max heat and max blower speed on the climate system.
NOTE: (SUPERCEDED BY 06-21-19) IF THE HEAT OUTPUT IS INSUFFICIENT, OR THE ENGINE DOES NOT REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES, VERIFY PROPER THERMOSTAT OPERATION AND REPEAT PROCEDURE IF REQUIRED. (SUPERCEDED BY 06-21-19)

Publication Date: OCTOBER 2, 1991

LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-91 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES
1988-91 F SUPER DUTY, F-47

ISSUE: There may be a loss of A/C refrigerant through the A/C compressor high relief valve during idle and stop-and-go traffic conditions. Eventually, there may be a lack of cooling and oil stains may appear around the A/C compressor high pressure relief valve.

The excessive discharge pressure is caused by the recirculation of higher temperature engine compartment air passing through the condenser during idle and stop-and-go traffic conditions. Normally, cooler ambient air passes through the condenser. Since the refrigerant in the condenser cannot be sufficiently cooled by this high temperature air, excessive head pressures are created causing refrigerant to be vented through the high pressure relief valve.

ACTION: Replace the radiator lower air shield, located between the lower radiator support and the front bumper, with a new radiator lower air deflector ( F1TZ-8327-B ). This new air deflector is larger than the old air shield and will minimize the amount of hot air recirculation through the condenser. Refer to the 1991 Bronco, Econoline, F-Series, F-Super Duty Truck Shop Manual, Section 01-08, for service details.

NOTE: TO REPLACE THE DEFLECTOR ON OLDER VEHICLES, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO DRILL HOLES, FOLLOWING THE HOLE PATTERN IN THE NEW DEFLECTOR, BEFORE IT CAN BE ATTACHED.

TSB 89-14-10 A/C Clutch Cycling Diagnosis
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

ISSUE: Poor air conditioning cooling caused by low or no refrigerant charge often results in unnecessary replacement of the clutch cycling pressure switch. The switch is designed to work on system pressure. It closes at about 46 psi and opens at about 24.5 psi. It has a normal cycle (on and off) rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute.

ACTION: If an inoperative or fast cycling pressure switch is found, use the following diagnostic charts before replacing the pressure switch.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. Connect a manifold gauge set to the service ports and check the system pressures. They should be above the closing pressure of the switch (46 psi).

2. If the A/C system pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch will not engage, proceed as follows:
> Check the pressure switch harness connector and harness wires for a continuous open condition.
> Check for an intermittent open or a poor connection between the connector and the pressure switch terminals.
a. If the harness connector and wire are OK, by-pass the pressure switch by jumping the two terminals of the connector. If the clutch still does not engage, THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS NOT DEFECTIVE. Refer to the respective EVTM for the clutch circuit schematic and circuit diagnosis. Repair as necessary.

3. Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 48° F (9° C), the system pressure will not be high enough to close the pressure switch (46 psi).

4. If the system does not contain refrigerant, the pressure will not be high enough to close the switch for compressor operation. Leak test, repair, evacuate and charge the system.

5. If the pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch cycle rate is faster than the normal rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute, the system is probably low on refrigerant. Check that the system contains the correct refrigerant charge by following the correct diagnostic chart.

TSB 91-20-12 A/C Pressure Relief Leak
Publication Date: OCTOBER 2, 1991

LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-91 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES
1988-91 F SUPER DUTY, F-47

ISSUE: There may be a loss of A/C refrigerant through the A/C compressor high relief valve during idle and stop-and-go traffic conditions. Eventually, there may be a lack of cooling and oil stains may appear around the A/C compressor high pressure relief valve.

The excessive discharge pressure is caused by the recirculation of higher temperature engine compartment air passing through the condenser during idle and stop-and-go traffic conditions. Normally, cooler ambient air passes through the condenser. Since the refrigerant in the condenser cannot be sufficiently cooled by this high temperature air, excessive head pressures are created causing refrigerant to be vented through the high pressure relief valve.

ACTION: Replace the radiator lower air shield, located between the lower radiator support and the front bumper, with a new radiator lower air deflector ( F1TZ-8327-B ). This new air deflector is larger than the old air shield and will minimize the amount of hot air recirculation through the condenser. Refer to the 1991 Bronco, Econoline, F-Series, F-Super Duty Truck Shop Manual, Section 01-08, for service details.

NOTE: TO REPLACE THE DEFLECTOR ON OLDER VEHICLES, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO DRILL HOLES, FOLLOWING THE HOLE PATTERN IN THE NEW DEFLECTOR, BEFORE IT CAN BE ATTACHED.

ISSUE: A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products which are described as being direct replacements for refrigerant R-12.

ACTION: If service is required, use only new or of known quality recycled refrigerant R-12. Ford Motor Company has approved R-134a as the only refrigerant substitute for R-12.
CAUTION: USING ANY UNAUTHORIZED SUBSTITUTE REFRIGERANT FOR R-12 MAY RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE A/C SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

INFORMATION FROM THE EPA
This information has been taken from EPA documents to address Ford specific applications and recommendations. Further EPA information on ozone-depleting substances and regulations regarding its handling can be found on the Internet at World Wide Web site: http://www.epa.gov/ozone/

In 1994, EPA established the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to review alternatives to ozone-depleting susbstances like R-12. EPA examines new substitutes for their ozone depleting, global warming, flammability, and toxicity characteristics. The SNAP process does not test these substitutes for A/C system compatibility, reliability, durability, or performance.

Under the SNAP rule, each new refrigerant must be used in accordance with the following conditions:
* Unique Fittings - Each new refrigerant must be used with a unique set of fittings to prevent the accidental mixing of different refrigerants.
* Unique Equipment - Each refrigerant must have dedicated recovery/recycling equipment for that refrigerant.
* Labels - Whether a vehicle is originally designed to use a new refrigerant or is retrofitted, the technician must apply a detailed label giving specific information about the alternative. This label covers up information about the old refrigerant and provides valuable details on the alternative and how it was used. The technician is required to fill in their name, company performing the retrofit, address and the date retrofitted.
* Remove Original Refrigerant - The original R-12 must be removed from the system prior to charging with the new refrigerant. This will guarantee that the largest amount of clean R-12 is available for use in vehicles that still need it.

A summary of the refrigerants reviewed under EPA's SNAP program for use in motor vehicle air conditioning systems is in the table. Additional refrigerants are listed below.

Brand Name (1) Status (2) Date : Reason Unacceptable
Ikon-12 ASU 5/22/96 : Composition claimed as confidential business information.
OZ-12 UNA 3/18/94 : Flammable blend of hydrocarbons; insuffcient data to demonstrate safety.
R-176 UNA 3/18/94 : Contains CFC-12, which is inappropriate in a CFC-12 substitute.
HC-12a UNA 6/13/95 : Flammable blend of hydrocarbons; insufficient data to demonstrate safety.
R-405A UNA 6/13/95 : Contains a perfluorocarbon, which has extremely high global warming potential and lifetime.

(1) R-401A (made by DuPont), R-401B (DuPont), R-409A (Elf Atochem), Care 30 (Calor Gas), Adak-29/Adak-12 (TACIP International) and ES-12R (Intervest) have not been submitted for review in motor vehicle air conditioning, and it is therefore illegal to use them in such systems.
(2) See article for details on legality of use according to Status:
* ASU = acceptable subject to fittings, labeling, and no drop-in use conditions
* P = proposed acceptable subject to use conditions; open to public comment so decision is not final
* UNA = unacceptable; illegal for use as CFC-12 ubtitutes in motor vehicle air conditioners
(3) Freezone contains 2% of a lubricant
(4) Additional use condition: MUST BE USED WITH BARRIER HOSES

This was after my compressor crapped out. The 2 ears at the top are supposed to keep it from sliding too far into the evaporator inlet. The white end goes in first. The red indicates this orifice is sized for R-134a; a blue orifice is for R-12.

.

Because of all the metal shavings that have obviously come out of the failing compressor, the condenser core must be replaced. Most shops don't have the equipment to clean it well enough to ensure NONE goes back around into the new compressor.

ISSUE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a non-CFC method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers (evaporators and condensers). This procedure allows the A/C components to be cleaned and flushed while installed in the vehicle. The types of contamination flushed include particle matter which results from compressor or desiccant failure and the gummy residue which may form when refrigerant oil is overheated. Some Ford authorized HFC-134a retrofit kit procedures will also require A/C system flushing to remove mineral oil for capacity reasons.

ACTION: Refer to the following text for proper flushing procedures.

The flushing procedure is a two-step process which involves the use of an A/C Flusher. The Flusher is used to do the following:

1. Circulate the flushing solvent through the A/C system heat exchangers in the reverse direction of normal refrigerant flow (back flushing). Particle matter is filtered from the returning solvent and the solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
2. Remove the flushing solvent from the A/C system. In this step, pressurized air (90-125 psi/620-862 kPa) is used to push and evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat exchangers.

Only Rotunda Item No. 014-00990 A/C Flushing Kit which includes 014-00991 A/C Flusher, 014-00992 A/C Flusher Fitting Kit, and F4AZ-19579-A A/C Flushing Solvent (case of 4 gallons/15 L), is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing device or solvent is approved by Ford Motor Company for flushing A/C systems. The use of other equipment or solvent may cause damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.

Minimum time for flushing is 15 minutes and minimum time for air flushing is 30 minutes. Failure to continue air purge for the entire 30 minutes as specified may result in residual amounts of flush solvent contaminating the A/C system. Residual flush solvent in a functioning A/C system may lead to A/C system failure.

Do not flush through orifice tubes, TXVs, accumulator/driers, receiver/driers, mufflers or hoses. Internal plumbing and material make-up of these components make it impossible to properly remove the debris and/or residual flushing solvent.

One (1) gallon (3.8 L) of Ford A/C System Flushing Solvent is used in this device and is intended for one (1) vehicle only. It may be used to flush both heat exchangers on an individual vehicle, but under no circumstances should it be used on more than one (1) vehicle. The filter used when flushing is also intended for use on one (1) vehicle only.

NOTE: DURING THE FLUSHING PROCESS, THIS MATERIAL MAY COLLECT RESIDUE FROM THE A/C SYSTEM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE CFC-12. DISPOSE OF THE SOLVENT AND FILTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.

Use of A/C system filter kits as prescribed in TSB 94-15-5 is optional if the A/C system is flushed. Filter kit use is recommended after flushing if the system is highly contaminated. If the hoses are clogged with debris, hose replacement is required.

Always remember to match oil properly, replace the accumulator/drier and orifice tube, or TXV and receiver/drier when servicing an A/C system with a compressor or desiccant failure.

The following vehicles require A/C system flushing with retrofit kits to remove mineral oil for capacity reasons.

TSB 96-13-7 AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER - LOW OR NO HEAT/AIR CONDITIONING - HIGH EFFORT TO TURN TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB - POOR TEMPERATURE MODULATION - LOW OR NO HEAT/COOLING - VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH 2/27/95
Publication Date: JUNE 17, 1996

LIGHT TRUCK: 1992-1995 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES, F-47

ISSUE: The temperature control knob may be difficult to turn on some vehicles. There may also be a low or no heat/cooling condition accompanied by poor temperature modulation. This may be caused by the single cable temperature door operating system being used.
ACTION: Replace the A/C Temperature Control Cable Assembly with a new pull/pull cable design. The new design cable will provide improved control of the temperature door. Refer to the following Diagnostic and Replacement Procedures for details.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. If the vehicle exhibits high effort turning the temperature control knob or poor temperature modulation, a new cable must be installed. Refer to the Replacement Procedure listed in this article. For a low or no heat/cooling concern, continue on with the Diagnostic Procedure.
2. Check vehicle's coolant for the correct level, concentration and operating temperature with the thermostat open. If a concern is found in one (1) of these areas, refer to the appropriate Service Manual for repair procedures. The repairs must be done before proceeding.
3. Verify proper A/C system charge and operation. Repair as necessary.
4. If the concern still exists, perform the Cable Adjustment procedure listed in the appropriate F-Series/Bronco Service Manual, Section 12.
5. If the concern still exists, replace the temperature door cable. Refer to the following Replacement Procedure for details.

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
REMOVAL
1. Remove glove compartment and module assembly, if present.
2. Detach cable from plenum using Tool D91T-18532-A. Remove and discard cable.
3. At the cable bracket on the plenum heater core cover, cut away the bracket using a hacksaw blade or similar tool.
4. Remove the 5/16" headed screw from the top of the cam. Discard the cam and screw with spring clip.
5. At cam post, add post extension and secure with the new screw, torquing the screw to 1.7 N-m (15 lb-in).
6. Remove the upper left screw securing the plenum heater core cover and install the A/C plenum chamber support bracket between the ribs to the right side of the bracket which was cut off. Make sure the hole from the previously removed screw is lined up with the hole in the plenum chamber support bracket.

INSTALLATION
1. At the plenum chamber, move the temperature door arm to the "full warm" position (counterclockwise) and be sure it remains there throughout the installation procedure.
2. At the small end of the cable (control head), remove the temperature control bracket from the cable by releasing the three (3) snaps using Tool T94P-18532-A or a thin blade screwdriver to allow the cable to be pushed back through the instrument panel toward the control head.
3. Be sure the new pull/pull cable is in the "full warm" position. Check the molded-in arrow at the control head portion of the cable. Normally the cable is shipped in the "full warm" position.
4. At the plenum, position the cam end of the cable over the post. Make sure the temperature door arm can move into the slot of the cam and push down until the cam is engaged on the post. An audible click can be heard. If it is necessary to remove the cam cable head, use moderate finger pressure on the plastic tab at the top of the cam cable head, moving it back so the cam may be pulled out off the post.
5. Place the twin cables in the center slots of the A/C plenum chamber support bracket. If adjustment is needed later, the cables can be moved to the other adjacent slots.
6. Route new cable through the instrument panel following the same path as the old cable.
7. Check the new temperature control bracket to be sure it is in the "full warm" position. The tab should be in the slot in the bracket.
8. Push the temperature control bracket onto the control assembly and turn it to catch under the retaining tab. Secure with the new screw previously saved.
9. Place the knob on the temperature control.
10. Push the cable head onto the temperature control bracket (make sure gear pilot centering hole is lined up correctly) until the three (3) lock into position (you should hear a click of three (3) tabs).
11. Install temperature control assembly in instrument panel.
12. Swiftly rotate temperature control knob to each extreme (cool-warm) and listen for the sound of the temperature door closing in both directions. If no audible close is heard, move the cable into different slots at the A/C plenum chamber support bracket covered in Step 4 of the Installation Procedure until there is an audible close in each direction.
13. Bring vehicle to operating temperature and verify proper heating and cooling by measuring the temperature of the discharge air at the outlets.
14. At A/C plenum chamber support bracket, secure cable to bracket with a tie strap to keep cable in place.

Obtain an Authorized Modifications Decal and list the date, dealer number, and summary of alterations performed. Select a prominent place adjacent to the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal suitable for installing the Authorized Modifications Decal. Clean the area, install the decal, and cover it with a clear plastic decal shield.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include Labor Standards for the Taurus, Sable and Probe vehicle models.

ISSUE: A "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor may come from some A/C systems. As the calibration of the clutch cycling pressure switch drifts downward, the evaporator core temperature may drop too low. This results in a "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor as the system cycles on and off.

ACTION: Install a new recalibrated clutch cycling pressure switch or adjust the existing/non-recalibrated clutch cycling pressure switch. The recalibrated switch can be identified by a specific supplier date code stamped near the fitting end of the switch.
Recalibrated switches built in the 1990 calendar year begin with the supplier date code 9041 and run through 9052 (last 2 digits of the calendar year followed by 2-digit week).
Recalibrated switches built in the 1991 calendar year start with the supplier date code 9101 and run through 9152.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Adjust the existing/non-recalibrated A/C cycling pressure switch by using the following service procedure.

1. Disconnect the body wiring harness.
2. Turn the set screw located between the two electrical terminals 3/4 turn clockwise (looking into the electrical connection).
3. Reconnect the body wiring harness.

Note that pre-'94 trucks use an 8.25A circuit breaker in the fuse box for all wiper functions. In '95, it was changed to a 30A fuse (though the circuit is identical with no additional loads), and the revised single-connector motor has an internal 8.25A breaker. The conversion kit does NOT address this change, so trucks with the kit will have an 8.25A CB in the fuse box and an 8.25A CB in the new motor. The new motor's internal breaker means it doesn't draw any more current than before, so the increase to a 30A fuse (which won't blow until more than 33A flows) doesn't make sense.

1988-96 F SUPER DUTY
1992-96 ECONOLINE
1995-96 WINDSTAR
MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK: 1990-96 F & B SERIES

ISSUE: New replacement doors for past model years have a larger lock cylinder hole diameter. A loose fit will occur when installing the door lock cylinder. The lock cylinder mounting hole diameter in new doors has been increased in preparation for a new style lock cylinder. New locks will be phased in for future production.

ACTION: Install a spacer for the larger diameter door lock cylinder mounting hole. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
NOTE: THE DOOR LOCK CYLINDER SPACER HAS BEEN ADDED TO CERTAIN 1996 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES TO ELIMINATE THE LOOSE FIT CONDITION FROM THE SMALLER DOOR LOCK CYLINDER. SOME VEHICLES MAY BE BUILT WITH SPACERS ON ONE SIDE ONLY. THIS IS DUE TO THE BALANCE OF SUPPLIES OF RIGHT AND LEFT DOORS AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANTS AT THE TIME OF MODEL YEAR CHANGEOVER.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
DOOR LOCK CYLINDER INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
1. Whenever the door lock cylinder is removed, check for presence of lock cylinder spacer in the door in the lock hole. If one is present, check for damage and replace if necessary.
2. If replacement is necessary, refer to the Lock Spacer Usage Chart for proper part number application.
3. Snap a new spacer into the hole from outside the door.

DOOR OR LIFTGATE INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
When replacing the door or liftgate assembly, the new door or liftgate may have the larger lock cylinder hole. Measure the hole diameter. If dimension "X" is more than 24 mm, then a spacer is required. If it is less than 24 mm, then a spacer cannot be used.
NOTE: EVEN IF THE ORIGINAL DOOR HAS A SPACER, ONE IS NOT NEEDED IF THE "X" DIMENSION IS LESS THAN 24 mm IN THE NEW DOOR.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING SPACER USAGE
The purpose of the spacer is to allow the flexibility of phasing in future lock designs without having to coordinate doors and locks in production or having to maintain two unique service doors. In general, the spacers are to be used with new doors (large hole) and old locks. The new doors are being phased in ahead of the new locks.

Publication Date: APRIL 8, 1992

LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1991-92 CAPRI, CONTINENTAL, COUGAR, GRAND MARQUIS, MARK VII, SABLE, TOPAZ, TOWN CAR, TRACER
LIGHT TRUCK: 1991-92 AEROSTAR, BRONCO, ECONOLINE, EXPLORER, F-150-350 SERIES, F-47, RANGER

ISSUE: There may be some confusion about cutting "Credit Card" keys that are included in the glove box of the subject vehicles. The key is to be cut and presented on delivery of the vehicle.

ACTION: A key needs to be cut using Rotunda 011-Series Code Cutters, Grinders or the AXXESS 2000. Like all Ford keys, the key tip must be aligned when cutting them. The operating manuals for the Rotunda 011-Series Code Cutter and Grinder specifically call for tip aligning Ford keys.
NOTE: TIP ALIGNMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN CUTTING LATER VERSIONS OF THE ESCORT/TRACER KEYS SINCE THEY ARE SHORTER THAN THE METAL KEYS. THEY ARE SHORTER TO REDUCE THE LENGTH OF PLASTIC KEY THAT PROTRUDES FROM THE LOCK. THE KEYS DO NOT CUT PROPERLY IF NOT ALIGNED FROM THE TIP DURING THE CUTTING PROCESS.
If additional quantities of the credit card keys are required, they are available for $.65 each from CCA, 31535 Southfield Rd., Birmingham, MI 48009 ; Telephone: 1-800-521-0639.

FSA92S42DoorLatchSeal.jpg | Hits: 10815 | Size: 63.42 KB | Posted on: 1/29/07 | Link to this image


FSA 92S42 Door Latch Seal
Check the Ford website &/or the NHTSA to see if your VIN is affected.

Affected Vehicles: 1992 Ranger, F-Series / Bronco / Medium Truck

))Note that this is a safety recall, and any included vehicle will be repaired free, no matter how old it is, how long the owner waits to present it for repair, or how many times it has been sold, AS LONG AS THE RECALL IS STILL ACTIVE.((

Ford Motor Company has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1992 model year F-Series trucks and chassis-cabs, Bronco and Ranger trucks.

Safety Defect: Water may enter the door latch release mechanisms on your truck and at sub-freezing temperatures it may freeze. If a latch release were to freeze, it could result in the door being difficult to open or not latching securely. If not properly latched, a door could open unexpectedly if the driver or a passenger should jar or lean against the door. If not wearing a safety belt, an occupant could fall from the vehicle and be injured. Locking the doors using the inside door lock button may reduce the chance that a door may open unexpectedly. Even if the doors on your truck were previously repaired for frozen latches, Ford wants to install new cable assemblies, and recommends that you follow the instructions in this Recall Letter.

Reminder: Drivers and passengers should always wear their seat belts when the vehicle is in motion!

Repairs: At no cost to you, your dealer will install revised design door latch release cable assemblies for both front doors. These cables will also correct difficult to open doors during or after cold weather exposure.

How Long Will It Take:
The time needed to repair you truck is less than two hours. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full working day. Call your dealer without delay. Ask for a service date and if parts are in stock. If your dealer does not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week. When you bring your truck in, give the dealer this letter. If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge

If the dealer doesn't make the repair promptly and without charge, you may contact the Ford Customer Assistance Center, 300 Renaissance Center, P. O. Box 433360, Detroit, Michigan 48243. You also may send a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll free Auto Safety Hotline 1-800-424-9393 (Washington D.C. area residents may call 366-0123).

Parts
F-Series/Bronco/Medium Truck Water Shield Kit Number F2TZ-15221B00-A (1 Kit required per vehicle to repair both doors)

Technical Instructions

1. Remove door trim panel and water shield per Shop Manual Sec. 01-05a.
NOTE: Place a strip of masking tape along the edge of door before removing trim panel to prevent scratching the door with the trim panel removal tool.

2. Snap cable housing end from slot on inside door handle assembly and disconnect cable.
NOTE: Use care to prevent bending of cable housing retainer bracket.

3. Remove rear window channel retaining bolt to allow access to door latch.

4. Position a block (screwdriver handle) between the latch and the door inner panel and snap the cable housing end out of slot (towards inner panel) on door latch assembly and disconnect cable at latch.
NOTE: Use care when removing cable housing to avoid bending of the latch. Discard cable.

5. Hook up new cable at latch and snap cable housing end into slot.
NOTE: Make sure the cable housing is fully seated in the slot.

6. Apply a light film of Teflon grease to the barrel end of the cable. See Figure A.

7. Install return spring. See Figure A.
NOTE: Ensure that the push button rod is located between the spring and the door inner panel.

8. Install foam block at latch. See Figure A.

9. Position water shield over the return spring and install push pin to retain upper portion of water shield. See Figure B.
NOTE: Push pin goes in the same hole as the return spring.

10. Clean hands of grease before performing step 11.

11. Remove protective backing along the lower edges only of the water shield. See Figure A.

12. Install latch water shield at door latch. Pinch the exposed adhesive surfaces together to secure the water shield. Check to insure water shield is not showing through the door shut-face latch access hole. See Figure B.

13. Attach cable to inside door handle assembly and snap cable housing into slot.
NOTE: Make sure the cable housing is fully seated.

14. Check the gap as shown in remote control using a 3/16 drill bit shank end. The drill bit shank should fit in the gap without any clearance and a tight fit is preferred. See Figure C.

15. If the drill bit is too loose or does not fit, adjust by bending the cable bracket as required.

16. Place plastic wedge on remote bracket as shown. Wedge must fit with at least a light press fit for retention. See Figure D.

17. After installation, Apply a dab of special Teflon grease, supplied with the service cable to cable housing openings at inside handle end. The grease should surround and contact the cable all the way around, to seal the opening between the cable and the cable housing.

18. Check all latch functions to insure correct assembly of latch system. If the inside handle does not release properly, replace the inside handle remote release mechanism.

19. Reposition and install trim panel using new push pins if required.

How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is about 3 hours. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your truck for one full working day.

Call Your Dealer
Ask for a service date and if parts are in stock. If your dealer does not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week. When you bring your truck in, give the dealer this letter. If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge.

ACTION: Repair the fiberglass roof seam sealer cracks by using the following Service Procedure.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Remove all the old sealer material from the seam about 25.4mm (1") beyond each end of the crack.
a. Scrape out the seam cavity.
b. Bevel the ends of the original sealer material that remains intact. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Roughen the sidewalls of the seam cavity with sandpaper. Blow out the area with clean compressed air.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY OTHER METHOD OF SANDING. ROOF REPAIR PAINT IS PRESENTLY NOT AVAILABLE.
3. Mask the area surrounding the repair with masking tape to prevent contact of the replacement sealer material with the roof painted surface.
4. Squeeze a sufficient amount of 3M Ultrapro Autobody Sealant (3M Part No. 08302) into a small container. Mix the appropriate color of Ford touch-up paint into the sealant material first, prior to application to the roof seam.
NOTE: PAINT WILL CRACK IF IT IS APPLIED ON TOP OF THE SEALANT AFTER THE REPAIR IS MADE.
5. Using a flexible poly blade:
a. Press the mixed material into the seam cavity.
b. Completely fill the cavity, leaving no voids.
c. Smooth the material to the same level as the original material.

TSB 96-02-04 Snow Plowing and SRS
Publication Date: JANUARY 15, 1996

LIGHT TRUCK: 1994-96 F-150

ISSUE: Some customers have questioned if snowplowing will lead to possible unintended deployment of the air bag supplemental restraint (SRS) in the subject vehicles. The following general information is provided to assist you when responding to these inquiries.

ACTION: Refer to the following information when responding to customer inquiries.

GENERAL INFORMATION

SRS AND PERSONAL USE SNOW REMOVAL ARE COMPATIBLE
The F-150 Regular Cab 4X4 is equipped with safety belts and a driver SRS. Ford engineers evaluated the SRS on an F-150 Regular Cab 4X4 in snow removal applications by installing representative snowplow hardware. They tested the vehicle under a variety of conditions to simulate low speed, personal use snow removal. The results of the tests indicated an appropriately equipped, F-150 Regular Cab 4X4 and its SRS are compatible with low speed, personal use snow removal.

The driver SRS is designed to deploy in moderate-to-severe frontal crashes.

The SRS is designed to activate in a frontal collision equivalent to hitting a solid barrier (such as a wall) at about 23 km/h (14 mph) or more, or roughly speaking, a full frontal perpendicular collision with a parked car or truck of similar size at 45 km/h (28 mph) or more.
Careless or high speed driving while plowing snow which results in vehicle decelerations equivalent to or greater than the air bag deployment threshold described above, would deploy the air bag.
Such careless driving also increases the risk that a driver may become involved in an accident. If this occurs, the SRS is designed to deploy and provide protection for the driver.

RECOMMENDATIONS
When using the vehicle for snow removal, never modify or defeat the "tripping mechanisms" designed into the snow removal equipment by its manufacturer. Doing so may cause damage to the vehicle and the snow removal equipment as well as possible SRS deployment.
Commercial snow removal applications should utilize F-250 HD Regular Cab 4X4, F-350 Regular Cab 4X4 or F-350 4X4 Chassis Cab vehicles which are much more appropriate for the rigors of long hours of plow operation.
As with all vehicles which contain an SRS system, Ford recommends that you always properly wear your safety belts and never tamper with, disconnect, or deactivate the SRS.

As with earlier model F-150's without SRS, Ford continues to recommend vehicle specifications for F-150 Regular Cab 4X4 vehicles suitable for snow removal which are found below:
F-150 4X4 Regular Cab* - 133" Wheelbase
84 Amp Battery
Super Engine Cool
V-8 Engine
Manual Locking Hubs
Front Suspension Package
Automatic Transmission
All Terrain Tires
NOTE: (*) F-SERIES SUPERCAB AND SHORT WHEELBASE MODELS AS WELL AS BRONCO AND ALL COMPACT TRUCKS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SNOW REMOVAL.

SNOW REMOVAL HARDWARE
Only installations shown in the appropriate Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book have been evaluated by Ford. Different snow removal hardware may have different attachment points to the frame and may or may not affect deployment of the SRS.

TSB TirePressureWear.jpg | Hits: 6648 | Size: 76.63 KB | Posted on: 7/14/03 | Link to this image


TSB 89-09-16 Tire Pressure, Load, Wear

AFFECTED VEHICLES:
LIGHT TRUCK:
1984-89 ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES

ISSUE: Tire wear can be affected by inflation and load. Good tread life is dependent on maintaining proper air pressure in the tires. Other factors that affect tire wear are:
> alignment
> speed
> road surfaces

ACTION: Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressures to obtain maximum tread life. Use the following charts and procedures to arrive at the best tire pressure for each load application.

The chart at the top of the page shows the effect of inflation and load on tire tread life. Use the chart by finding the specified inflation pressure for the vehicle as shown on the certification label and locating that pressure on the specified inflation pressure on the chart. The effects of actual air pressure and load can now be read directly off the chart.

Tire load carrying capacity is a function of tire design and inflation pressures.Each tire has molded into the sidewall a maximum pressure for a specific usage. Use the following guidelines to determine load carrying capacity.
> For P-metric passenger tires on passenger cars, the values are as shown on the tire.
> For P-metric passenger tires on light trucks, the load ratings are reduced to 91% to reflect the "harsher" truck environment.



> For light truck style tires used on light trucks, the values are as shown for tires used in single wheel applications.
> For light truck style tires used in dual wheel applications, the tire capacities are derated.

Often, inflation pressures for specific vehicles are less than maximum capacity because the load to be carried is less than the maximum tire capacity.

Inflation pressures for originally installed size tires on a vehicle are shown on the vehicle certification label along with the tire size and rated capacity for the axle system. Check the size and inflation information on the label to properly inflate the tires. Be sure that the same size tire is actually on the vehicle and then inflate it to the label's specified pressure. If other than original size tires are on the vehicle, the label's pressures are probably not correct.

To find proper pressures for other than original tires, use the following procedure.
1. Obtain both front and rear axle capacity ratings (GAWRR and GAWRF).
2. Divide each number by 2 to obtain the capacity at the tire.
3. For single wheel usage, look up the pressure in the proper chart which will meet the needed capacity.



4. Check the tire side wall label to see if it permits inflation to that pressure. If lower load range tires were installed (i.e., C vs. D or E), the tires may not have the needed capability.
5. Divide the value found in Step 2 by 2 again to obtain individual tire requirements for dual rear wheels.
6. Using the dual wheel inflation pressure chart, determine correct pressure to achieve adequate load capacities.
7. Consult the local tire outlet or the tire manufacturer's home office about tires not shown in the tables.

TSB 92-15-14 Fan Clutch Diagnosis
Publication Date: JULY 15, 1992

LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-92 BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F-150-350 SERIES
1988-92 F SUPER DUTY

ISSUE: A comprehensive diagnostic procedure has been developed for determining if the engine cooling fan clutch is functioning properly. A fan clutch that is not functioning properly may cause engine cooling concerns and/or vibration.

ACTION: Use the following diagnostic procedure to determine if the fan clutch is functioning properly. A fan clutch that is not functioning properly should be replaced.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THE BI-METALLIC COIL ON THE FACE OF THE FAN CLUTCH.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

NOTE: PROCEED ONLY AFTER COMPLETING THE ENGINE COOLING DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE IN SECTION 03-03 AND THE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT TENSION PROCEDURE IN SECTION 03-05 OF THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL.
1. Turn off the air conditioner, heater-A/C fan and radio.
2. Check for viscous drag...
a. Before starting the engine, rotate the fan and clutch assembly by hand. It should have some viscous drag, but it should turn smoothly during the full 360° of rotation.
b. Replace the fan clutch if it does not turn smoothly or does not turn at all. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 03-05, for service details.
c. Replace the fan if there are only cracks.
d. If this is not the concern, go to Step 3.
3. Check for lack of viscous drag...
a. If the fan clutch spins with no viscous drag when it is cold, and it has not been run for an hour or more, it should be replaced. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 03-05, for service details.
b. If this is not the concern, go to Step 4.
4. Check for excessive fan clutch bearing clearance (cold fan clutch)...
a. Hold the tip of the fan blade between the thumb and forefinger.
b. Lightly pull toward the radiator, then push toward the engine.
c. Repeat the motion several times.
* The total rocking movement at the end of the fan blade should be 2/10" (5.1mm) or less when no more than eight ounces of force is applied.
* A force greater than eight ounces may deflect the fan blade with erroneous results.
d. Replace the fan clutch if more than 2/10" (5.1mm) of movement is observed. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 03-05, for service details.
e. If this is not the concern, go to Step 5.
5. Install a temporary engine tachometer if the vehicle is not equipped with a tachometer.
NOTE: DURING THE FOLLOWING TESTS, BE SURE TO MONITOR THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE BY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IF THE TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LIMIT FOR THE ENGINE OR IF COOLANT IS DISCHARGED OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM. THE TESTS CAN BE RESUMED USING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES AFTER THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE DROPS TO A NORMAL OPERATING LEVEL.
NOTE: IF THE HOOD IS LEFT OPEN, THE FAN NOISE MAY BE EASIER TO HEAR.
WARNING: DO NOT STAND IN LINE WITH THE FAN.
6. Start the engine.
7. Check for fan disengagement and be aware of the following operational characteristics.
* The fan clutch may be engaged when the engine is first started. This will be apparent from the noise level of the fan which has a distinctive roar.
* The fan clutch engagement is due to the viscous silicone fluid draining back and filling the gap between input and output components.
* Running the engine at a constant speed of about 2000 rpm should pump the fluid back to its reservoir, disengaging the fan clutch after no more than five minutes.
* As the fan speed declines, the noise will drop off to a level inaudible to most observers.
a. Continuing the test, If the fan clutch does not reengage after five more minutes at 2000 rpm, the fan clutch should be replaced. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 03-05, for service details.
b. Repeat the test procedure after fan clutch replacement to confirm the fix and to assure customer satisfaction.
c. If this is not the concern, go to Step 8.
8. Stop the engine.
Cut and install a piece of cardboard large enough to cover the front of the radiator with a six inch diameter hole in line with the fan clutch.
If it is not possible to install the cardboard directly against the radiator, attach it to the A/C condenser.
9. Start the engine.
a. With the gas engine at 2700 to 3000 rpm or diesel engine at 2100 to 2300 rpm, the vehicle temperature gauge will rise steadily as the engine warms and then appear to level off for a short time when the thermostat opens.
b. Make note of the temperature gauge position when the thermostat opens. The engine coolant temperature will continue to rise until the fan clutch engages.
10. Check for fan engagement...
a. Continue to observe the coolant temperature gauge. As the fan clutch engages, the fan noise will continue to increase and then level off at full engagement. The fan clutch may cycle off-and-on a few times during the initial engagement.
b. If the fan clutch does not engage before the maximum indicated safe operating engine coolant temperature is reached, it should be replaced. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 03-05, for service details.
c. Repeat the test procedure after fan clutch replacement to verify the fix and to assure customer satisfaction. The rate of rise of the coolant temperature will slow down after clutch engagement, but it will continue to rise as long as the radiator remains covered.
d. If this is not the concern, go to Step 11.
11. Check for fan disengagement...
a. After completion of the above tests, shut off the engine.
b. Remove the cardboard cover from the front of the radiator.
c. Restart and return the gas engine to 2700 to 3000 rpm or diesel engine at 2100 to 2300 rpm, continuing to watch the coolant temperature which will begin to decrease. The fan rpm will drop to a reduced noise level where it was before the cycle began which indicates that the fan clutch has disengaged.
d. If the fan clutch remains engaged and the coolant temperature has dropped below the thermostat opening temperature (as noted in Step 9) for at least five minutes, the fan clutch should be replaced. Refer to the Dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct parts usage. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 03-05, for service details.
e. Repeat the test procedure after fan clutch replacement to confirm the fix and to assure customer satisfaction.

1991-1994 Escort - 1.9L
1991-1994 Tracer - 1.9L Only

ISSUE: Engine performance concerns such as hesitation or stall, rough idle, and/or poor fuel economy may be caused by the thermostat stuck in an open position or opening at a temperature lower than specified.

ACTION: Use the following "Cooling System Diagnosis" procedure to diagnose a cooling system that may not be reaching normal operating temperature. Follow the "Thermostat Diagnosis" procedure to determine if the thermostat may be at fault. Check the thermostat without removing it from the vehicle by using Rotunda Service Coolant Temperature Monitor Harness 007-00064.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
A new cooling system diagnosis procedure has been developed for engines that do not reach normal operating temperature. A new thermostat diagnosis procedure also has been developed, using a new service coolant temperature monitor harness. See chart for proper diagnostic procedure.

NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE WILL DIAGNOSE ONLY COOLING SYSTEMS THAT MAY NOT BE REACHING NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IT WILL NOT DIAGNOSE A THERMOSTAT THAT CAUSES AN ENGINE OVERHEAT CONDITION.

THERMOSTAT DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: DISCONNECTING THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) TO ATTACH A BREAKOUT BOX OR AN EEC IV MONITOR WILL ERASE THE ADAPTIVE LEARNING FROM MEMORY AND MAY "HIDE" A DRIVE CONCERN TEMPORARILY UNTIL THE ADAPTIVE LEARNING IS RE-LEARNED.

NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE IS MOST ACCURATE IF PERFORMED INDOORS AT LESS THAN 100°F (38°C) AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. THIS TEST MAY BE PERFORMED WITH OR WITHOUT THE HOOD OPEN AND WITH THE ENGINE WARM OR COLD.

CAUTION: ALWAYS VENT THE EXHAUST TO THE OUTSIDE WHEN PERFORMING THIS TEST.

1. Check the coolant level in the radiator and coolant recovery reservoir.
2. With the key in the "off" position, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor harness connector.
b. Attach Rotunda Service Coolant Temperature Monitor Harness 007-00064 as a jumper between the PCM and the ECT.
c. Attach Rotunda 73 Digital Multimeter 105-00051 or equivalent to the thermostat monitor harness. Voltage values (0-5vdc) may now be monitored while the sensor retains its connection to the wiring harness.
NOTE: A ROTUNDA NEW GENERATION STAR TESTER (NGS) 007-00500 OR THE ROTUNDA SERVICE BAY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (SBDS) 001-00001 MAY BE USED TO MONITOR THE ECT ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH DATA COMMUNICATIONS LINK (DCL). THE SBDS SEQUENCE TO USE FOR THE SCREEN IS "TOOLBOX - ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL AND DCL - ITEM".
3. Vehicles equipped with electric engine cooling fan(s) must have a fan running during this test (high or low speed may be used). Two methods may be used to turn the fan(s) on:
a. Disconnect the A/C compressor clutch power supply and turn the climate control to A/C "ON". Or
b. Disconnect the power supply to the cooling fan and supply 12 volts direct to the fan connector from the battery.
NOTE: A GROUND MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME APPLICATIONS.
4. Place transmission in "park" or "neutral".
NOTE: RUNNING THIS TEST WITH THE VEHICLE IN GEAR OR WITH THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH ENGAGED (RUNNING) WILL CAUSE IMPROPER DIAGNOSIS
5. Start the engine and allow to idle throughout this test:
a. Allow engine to run for 2 minutes, then record ECT voltage.
b. From now on, record ECT voltage every 60 seconds.
c. When the ECT voltage trend changes direction or changes only slightly (0.03 volts or less) from the previous reading, record this as the thermostat opening voltage.
d. Use the "Voltage and Corresponding Temperature Chart" shown below to obtain actual coolant temperatures.
6. If the opening voltage is GREATER than 0.75 volts (less than 180° F/ 82° C), or 0.85 volts (170° F/ 77° C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, replace the thermostat. Refer to the dealer Master Parts Catalog for correct thermostat usage.
7. If the thermostat opening voltage is LESS than 0.75 volts (greater than 180° F/ 82° C), or 0.85 volts (170° F/ 77° C) for 2.3L HSC engine only, the thermostat is good and should NOT be replaced. The "Cooling System Diagnosis Chart" should be referenced for further instructions.
NOTE: The 10° F opening temperature difference for the 2.3L HSC engine is due to the ECT sensor location.

TSB 92-01A-09 Guidelines for Modifying Light Truck Drivelines
Publication Date: 01/26/92
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1989 and after BRONCO, ECONOLINE, F SUPER DUTY, F-150-350 SERIES

ISSUE: Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) Bulletin Number 14 provided guidelines for modifying light truck drivelines to help ensure proper driveline integrity. The bulletin is printed here as an added aid to the service technician.

Improper driveline modifications were found to influence recent service claims for transmission damage, premature wear-out of U-joints, and noise and vibration. When modifying a driveline use the following guidelines to help ensure proper driveline integrity. Although these guidelines cover the most immediate concerns, they are not comprehensive. The reader is encouraged to further consult the references listed at the end of this bulletin.

In general, limit the amount of balance weight to approximately 3 ounces or less at each end of a shaft. Excessive weight required to balance indicates that the shaft is likely to be distorted beyond the runout specifications and should not be used. Compare the runout of the shaft against the following specifications to determine whether a shaft is worth balancing.

A list entitied Things-Gone-Wrong follows. This list contains the things-gone-wrong commonly found on vehicles with modified drivelines. Vehicle modifiers are encouraged to use this list to quickly identify problem areas in their build process.

Balanced shafts on modified vehicles are found to have over 4 times the maximum imbalance allowed by the guideline.

Muffler pipe used to make driveshafts (poor quality pipe - non-uniform metal thickness, oval/not round, rusts easily)

^ Too many balance weights used to balance a shaft

^ Driveshafts, made longer, are not increased in size when required.

^ U-joints not often up-sized, or up-graded, when required

^ Rear axle pinion angles too large on substituted or modified rear suspensions

^ Excessive U-joint angles on modified wheelbase/frame-stretched vehicles

^ U-joints not in line (in phase) at either end of a modified driveshaft. The yoke ends are crooked when welded onto the tube.

^ Alignment arrows on slip yokes and tube shafts not aligned. Sometimes the slip yoke is found turned by one spline tooth when installed, resulting in the driveline being several degrees out-of-phase.

^ Improper electrical grounding of eddy-current type brake retarders

Poor driveline modifications have been occurring for many years. These modifications often set up powerful vibration resonances in the driveline that pound and bend the critical links surrounding the shafts - joints, transmissions and axles. Frequent joint replacements, cracked manual transmission housings, and needless front wheel alignments and balances, are often attributable to poor driveline modifications. The C6 automatic transmission appeared relatively indifferent. However, the introduction of the E4OD transmission brought components internal to the transmission that are sensitive to these vibrations. Also, higher driveshaft operating speeds from the overdrive feature now make driveline specifications more critical. Therefore, adherence to the guidelines in this bulletin is necessary to maintain the reliability of current generation drivetrains.

Multiple Driveshafts and System Balancing

System balancing means assembling the whole driveline, with joints, and placing this assembly in the balancer as if it were just one shaft. This balance method is required with two-driveshaft systems. However, it may be a bit impractical with 3 shafts or more. So in this case, system-balance two shafts together, and balance the third separately.

Balance At 3,000 RPM Versus 500 RPM

Most small shops making driveshafts for body builders only have balancers that spin to 500 rpm. Ford driveshafts are balanced at 3,000 rpm, mainly to find damaging vibration resonances occuring only at these higher speeds. Vehicles today, with overdrive feature, can see over 5,000 rpm in normal use. An imbalance beyond specification at this speed can be destructive to the drivetrain. It is therefore recommended that the vehicle modifier pursue actions that ensure balance accuracy to 3,000 rpm, if the vehicles they will be used on are likely to be operated at highway speeds. The following suggests ways in which the vehicle modifier can meet this recommendation:

a. Dana Corporation is a possible source for driveshafts, and associated components, meeting Ford specifications. Their address and phone numbers are listed in the REFERENCES section of this bulletin.

b. The following must be ensured if only a 500 rpm shaft balance is available:

^ A straight shaft with uniform metal thickness

^ Use of highly-toleranced U-joints, as sourced by the original equipment vehicle manufacturer (joints from auto-parts stores are not likely to meet the required tolerances).

^ Possibly restrict the applications of these driveshafts to vehicles normally operating at slow speeds

Eddy-Current Type Brake Retarders

These brake retarders add more work to the drivetrain, requiring that the joints be upgraded to improve their life. Adding a brake retarder is not the only consideration that may require upgrading U-joints. Torque, speed, vehicle use, as well as other modifications, also go into the formula for sizing components. Therefore, it is recommended that the vehicle modifier refer to the Spicer Drivetrain Selector Guide for proper sizing of driveline parts.

DO NOT add an electrical grounding strap between the vehicle frame, and the transmission housing or support crossmember. Excessively high current has been found to run through the E4OD transmission during cranking and braking when this is done with the ground between the vehicle frame and retarder missing. This high current surge is potentially damaging to internal transmission components. Follow the grounding instructions from the brake retarder supplier explicitly.

Assure proper alignment of the driveline after retarder installation. Be observant of angles in both the plan (top) view and the side view.

It is important to determine if there is a real need for a brake retarder. Some fleets are finding that driver training, in lieu of a retarder, may be more cost-efficient.

Minimum Operating Angle Of 1/2 Degree

A slight angle is required to prevent U-joints from wearing out from brinelling, providing a smooth flow of power through the driveline. It is similar to intentionally putting a pre-load on a wheel bearing.

Maximum Operating Angle Of 3 Degrees

Operating angles can be allowed to be much higher, sometimes as high as 12 degrees. To get a vehicle to operate successfully above 3 degrees often requires larger U-joints, expensive double cardan joints, or constant velocity joints (which are distinct), maybe a restriction to slow vehicle speeds, and other considerations. A reduction in joint life does become noticeable on joints operating above 3 degrees, if precautions are not taken.

Two shafts, connected with a single cardan U-joint and turning at a constant rpm, have no angular acceleration that could force a vibration. When an angle is made between them, the first (power input) shaft will turn at the same constant, smooth, speed; while the second shaft will now have to speed up and slow down twice every revolution (change speed 4 times per revolution).

This creates an angular acceleration in the second shaft that forces a vibration; which is acceptable if kept to a minimum. The guidelines in this bulletin limit driveline angular accelerations to 400 radians per second squared or less, which is the requirement for all Ford light truck (SAE specification is 500). Some driveline modifications have been found to have resulted in accelerations of over 11,000 radians per second squared, often resulting in damaged drivetrains in early mileage. Vehicle modifiers are encouraged to consult the sources listed under REFERENCES in this bulletin, if driveline angles are likely to exceed 3 degrees in the modified design.

Using The Frame Siderail To Obtain A Reference Angle

The long, straight frame rails on an F-Super Duty Stripped Chassis have sufficient accuracy to use for a reference angle, and specific instructions published for this vehicle, which ask the modifier to use the frame rail as a reference, should be obeyed. However, this bulletin, and referencing Dana literature, does not require measuring a frame reference angle (all requirements reflect driveline angles relative to each other).

Driveline angle measurements should be made with the vehicle supported by the tires, and resting on a level surface. Avoid hoisting a vehicle by the frame, since this distorts the chassis enough to make the driveline angle measurements inaccurate.

Match-Mounting Driveshafts To The Rear Axle

O.E.M. rear axles have their runout measured, then a yellow dot is placed at the high side of this runout reading. The dot is placed either on the end yoke, or on the pilot/flange, of the axle input shaft. Alternately, the O.E.M. driveshafts also receive a yellow dot, which is placed on the light side of the unbalance. Upon assembly of the drivetrain, the yellow dots are matched up. This match-mounting aids the driveline system-balance. Vehicle modifiers should look for these dots, and maintain this match-up when the drivetrain is reassembled after modification. Remanufactured or modified shafts should also have their light side matched with the yellow dot on an axle, similar to the O.E.M. shafts.

Driveline Vibration Dampers

Driveline vibration dampers are sometimes added to driveshafts or axles to help with eliminating noise and vehicle harshness (NVH). If they came with the vehicle drivetrain then retain the damper with the modification.

Using Double Cardan Joints or Constant Velocity Joints To Allow Larger Angles

In general these joints, used correctly, can allow having larger joint operating angles, as much as 8 degrees. However, it is very important to note that placing this type of joint at the rear of a coupling shaft will prevent cancellation from occurring at the forward end of the shaft where the transmission joins. Without cancellation, the operating angle at this joint must be maintained at 3 degrees or less, regardless of the existence of a DC or CV joint in the driveline system.

General Comments

It is good practice, for any chassis that will see a driveline modification, to measure and record the driveline angles for the following vehicle configurations for later comparison, and assurance for meeting the guidelines in this bulletin when the vehicle is completed:

a. Chassis as first received from the Ford assembly plant (make note that the angles may not conform exactly to this bulletin when incomplete).

b. Completed vehicle, unloaded

c. Completed vehicle, loaded to GVW, Maximum Front GAWR

d. Completed vehicle, loaded to GVW, Maximum Rear GAWR

DO NOT over-torque the U-joint fasteners. It distorts the end caps, causing premature joint failure. The Ford Light Truck Shop Manual indicates the torque ranges to use for the various joints.

Note that greasable u-joints are physically weaker (due to the grease journals drilled through them), and those with the grease fitting screwed in between the trunnions even moreso, due to the wedge effect of the threads exactly where material is missing. They are also less durable, due to their seals constantly being blown out by the grease being pumped through them. Studies have shown that the dirt that is invariably introduced during greasing is more detrimental than NOT repeatedly adding grease. A sealed u-joint (which should be greased before installation, and can be re-greased by disassembly later) is stronger & lasts longer.

ISSUE: A "rattling" noise may be heard coming from the front disc brake calipers. The caliper pins may eventually take a set under certain load conditions allowing the disc brake caliper to "rattle". The "rattling" noise is more likely to develop on units that are driven off-road or operated on rough roads.

ACTION: To correct this, install new design caliper pins. A new caliper pin removal tool can be made to aid in removal of the pins. Refer to the caliper pin application chart on this page for the correct service part number.

The caliper pin removal tool is recommended for use on all the above listed vehicles, including 1988 Super Duty. This caliper pin tool can be made from a 1/2 inch diameter rod 7 inches long. Simply grind or cut a "V" notch in one end. The "V" notch is used to compress the pin retention tabs while the tool is also used to drive the pin out of the caliper slide groove. This tool replaces a pair of pliers and screwdriver as outlined in the Shop Manual service procedure.

TSB 98-5A-35 Rear Parking Brake Cables Bind - Vehicles Built Before 8/20/96, except chassis cab
Publication Date: MARCH 18, 1998

LIGHT TRUCK: 1992-97 F-250, F-350

ISSUE: The rear parking brake cables may bind and not allow the rear brake shoes to return fully to the anchor pins after the parking brake is applied. This may result in early brake wear, rear brake vibration/shudder, rear brake noise, drift/pull condition and/or poor fuel economy. This may be caused by a tight bend in the parking brake cable at the left side rear spring bracket.

ACTION: Reroute the parking brake cable and install a windlace on the left rear spring bracket to prevent chafing. This should reduce the possibility of the parking brake cable binding. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Relieve the tension on the system by having an assistant pull directly rearward on the intermediate or front parking brake cable and conduit. Using care not to damage the coating on the parking brake cable strand, insert a 4mm drill bit or equivalent into the hole provided in the parking brake control.
2. Raise the vehicle and remove the rear wheels and brake drums.
3. Disconnect the rear brake cables and conduit from the parking brake cable equalizer.
4. Compress the prongs which retain the parking brake cables and conduit shield to the parking brake cable bracket using a 1/2" 12-point box end wrench.
5. With the spring tension released, lift the parking brake cable and conduit out of the slot in the parking brake lever on both sides.
6. Slide the cable in and out to make sure it moves freely on each side. If any sticking and/or binding is evident, replace the parking brake cables. If there is no sticking and/or binding, proceed to Step 7.
7. Reroute the driver side cable in the following manner:
a. It should be routed through the outside left of the butterfly clip, up through the spring hanger between the bracket and frame and to the top hole of the parking brake equalizer bracket.
b. Insert the rear portion of the parking brake cable and conduit through the slot in the parking brake lever at the left rear wheel.
c. Insert the front end of the parking brake cable and conduit through the top hole of the parking brake equalizer bracket until the prongs expand.
8. Reroute the passenger side cable in the following manner:
a. It should be routed through the inside right of the butterfly clip, under the spring hanger bracket and into the bottom hole of the parking brake equalizer bracket ( Figure 1 ).
b. Insert the rear portion of the parking brake cable and conduit through the slot in the parking brake lever at the right rear wheel.
c. Insert the front end of the parking brake cable and conduit through the bottom hole of the parking brake equalizer bracket until the prongs expand.
9. Install a piece of Windlace (E8TZ-1353-A) to the top front edge of the spring hanger bracket where the left rear parking brake cable crosses over it.
NOTE: WINDLACE MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE SPRING HANGER BRACKET, OTHERWISE CHAFING OF THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE COULD OCCUR.
10. Reinstall the rear brake drums, wheels and readjust the rear parking brake as outlined in the appropriate F-Series Service Manual, Section 06-02.
11. Remove the drill bit or equivalent which was inserted in the parking brake control to take up cable slack.
12. Operate the parking brake three (3) times to verify it is operating correctly.

TSB85-05-26ClutchDiag.jpg | Hits: 19053 | Size: 81.58 KB | Posted on: 4/20/09 | Link to this image


TSB 85-05-26 Hydraulic Clutch Diagnosis '83-86 ONLY

SYSTEM FEATURES:
* The hydraulic release system is self-adjusting. The slave cylinder has an internal spring which extends the piston against the release lever, provides a "no lash" condition and causes the release bearing to run constantly.
* The constant-run release bearing achieves longer life due to more consistent lubrication distribution and reduced shock loading.
* Clutch engagement rates are controlled by orifices within the clutch line to reduce powertrain shock loading.
* Hydraulic system component assemblies are now available separately (i.e. master cylinder line with fittings, slave cylinder) so that only the non-functioning component will require replacement when servicing the system. See Figures 28 and 29 for line attachment.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Two basic malfunctions of the hydraulic system may occur and are similar to mechanical system concerns:
1. The release lever is not allowed to return to the free position causing the clutch to slip (similar to over-adjusted mechanical linkage).
2. The release lever is not stroked an adequate distance to fully release the clutch (similar to excessive freeplay with mechanical linkage).

DIAGNOSIS FOR SLIPPING CLUTCH
The clutch master cylinder assembly incorporates a "bleed" port between the cylinder and reservoir which is uncovered when the piston is in the non-depressed position (similar to the brake master cylinder). If the pushrod prevents the piston from fully returning with the pedal not depressed, the system retains hydraulic pressure holding the clutch partially disengaged.

Diagnosis: Push the clutch release lever toward the slave cylinder using the palm of the hand (See Figure 27). If the release lever and slave cylinder pushrod move, the hydraulic system is not causing the clutch slippage and clutch diagnosis should continue.

Clutch Pedal Linkage Adjustment
1983 MODELS - USE OF ADJUSTABLE SERVICE PUSHROD
1. Remove the cotter pin (380699-S) from the clutch lever (7A554).
2. Remove the existing 7641 pushrod from the clutch master cylinder.
3. Replace the pushrod with an adjustable pushrod.
4. Adjust the pushrod as follows:
a. Adjust the pushrod until freeplay between the pushrod and master cylinder cylinder piston is just eliminated.
b. Back off one-half turn.
c. Tighten the jam nut.
d. Assure that the bleed port for self-adjustment located in master cylinder is uncovered. With the slave cylinder mounted, push the clutch release lever (7515) toward the slave cylinder with the palm of the hand.
e. If the lever can be moved, then the bleed port is uncovered and the rod adjustment is correct.
f. If the release lever cannot be depressed, shorten the master cylinder pushrod until the release lever can be moved.

1984/85 MODELS - ADJUSTMENT OF CLUTCH RELEASE LEVER
1. Disconnect the cotter pin, the master cylinder pushrod, and the bushing clutch lever.
2. Disconnect the clutch lever (7A554)from the pedal shaft on the clutch pedal assembly by removing the attaching nut and prying the clutch lever off.
3. Check for evidence of a tight fit between the lever (7A554) and the shaft (7506).
a. If the fit between the lever and the shaft did not create clearly defined spline cuts in the lever, then replace the shaft (7506).
b. If the fit between the shaft and the lever created clearly defined spline cuts in the lever, do not replace the shaft (7506), since the lever may not hold the position.
4. Discard the clutch lever (7A554) (the spline pattern in the hole of the discarded clutch lever will not allow re-positioning on the pedal assembly shaft). If the shaft is to be replaced, remove the pedal overcenter spring (7B572). Remove the nut attaching the clutch pedal assembly to the pedal shaft and remove pedal from shaft. Remove the pedal shaft (7506) from the pedal support (2L252). Discard the pedal shaft (7506).
5. Attach a new clutch lever (7A554) to the master cylinder pushrod with the bushing and the cotter pin.
6. Place the clutch pedal (7519) up against the upper stop on the brake and clutch pedal support bracket (2L252) and allow the overcenter spring to hold it in place.
7. Attach the new clutch lever (7A554) to the shaft of the clutch pedal assembly with nut N620483-S2, making sure that the clutch lever (7A554) is not pushing or pulling the master cylinder pushrod. Torque the nut to 40 to 50 ft.-lbs. Check the clutch system for proper operation.

DIAGNOSIS FOR INADEQUATE CLUTCH RELEASE (HARD SHIFTING/GEAR GRINDING)
Diagnostic Procedure
Check the rod motion of the clutch housing mounted slave cylinder. With the clutch pedal pushed through its full travel, the slave cylinder pushrod should move the minimum distance specified below, against the clutch release lever (7515) head. (Hydraulic slave cylinder must be installed on clutch housing and actuated against the release lever head for this test or breakage of the slave cylinder may occur since the internal spring will fully extend the piston before the pedal is stroked.

Application Minimum Slave Cylinder Rod Motion
6.9L Diesel & 7.5L Gas Engines 13.5mm (17/32")
4.9L, 5.0L & 5.8L Gas Engines 17.5mm (11/16")

1. If the slave cylinder rod moves at least the minimum distance, then the hydraulic system and the in-cab mechanical components are functioning properly. Continue to trouble-shoot for clutch disengagement problems due to the clutch pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing or the release lever. See Section 16-01 through 16-04 of the 1983-1985 Service Manuals.
2. If the slave cylinder rod does not move at least the minimum distance, then the hydraulic system or the in-cab mechanical components are malfunctioning.

Possible Sources for Inadequate Slave Travel
* Air in the hydraulic system.
* A leak in the hydraulic system.
* The hydraulic system is not being stroked enough by the in-cab mechanical components.

AIR IN THE SYSTEM - BLEED PROCEDURE (All Hydraulic Clutch Systems)
The following procedure is used with the hydraulic system installed on the vehicle. The filling of fluid is carried primarily by gravity.
1. Clean dirt and grease from the cap of the clutch master cylinder.
2. Remove the clutch master cylinder cap and diaphragm and fill the reservoir to the top with approved brake fluid only. (Brake fluid must be certified to DOT 3 specification).
3. Loosen the bleed screw located in the slave cylinder body next to the inlet connection. Collect fluid in a suitable container.
4. Fluid will now begin to move from the master cylinder down the red tube to the slave cylinder.
NOTE: THE RESERVOIR MUST BE KEPT FULL AT ALL TIMES TO ENSURE NO ADDITIONAL INTRODUCTION OF AIR INTO THE SYSTEM.
5. At this point, bubbles will appear at the bleed screw outlet. This means that air is being expelled. When the slave cylinder is full, a steady stream of fluid will come from the slave outlet. Tighten the bleed screw.
6. Assemble the diaphragm and cap to the reservoir, the fluid in the reservoir should be level with step.
7. Exert a light load (approximately 30 lbs.) to the slave cylinder piston by pushing the release lever towards the front of vehicle. Loosen the bleed screw while maintaining a constant light load. Fluid and any air that is left will be expelled through the bleed port. Tighten the bleed screw when a steady flow of fluid is visible and no air is being expelled.
IMPORTANT: Tighten the bleed screw before releasing the load on the release lever or air will be sucked into the system.
8. Add fluid level in reservoir to level at step. Assemble the diaphragm and cap. If necessary, repeat steps 7 and 8 if evidence of air still exits.
9. Exert a light load to release lever as in Step 7, but do not open the bleed screw. The piston in the slave cylinder will move slowly and firmly down bore. Check for air in the red tube. If air is present, force it into the master cylinder by tapping on the tube. Release the load slowly. Repeat 2-3 times.
10. From above actuate the clutch pedal slowly and check for air in the red tube. If air is present, repeat Step 9; fluid movement will force air into reservoir. Repeat 2-3 times.
11. The hydraulic system is now fully bled and should release the clutch. Check vehicle by starting, pushing clutch pedal to the floor and selecting reverse gear. There should be no grating of gears; if there is and the hydraulic system still contains air, repeat the procedure from Step 7.

IN CAB MECHANICAL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
1. Installation of correct clutch pedal (1984 Model only) - check that the vehicle is equipped with the proper clutch pedal. Vehicles with the 4.9L, 5.0L or 5.8L engine use pedal part number E4TA-7519-AB which has a welded-on stop which hits the floor. The 6.9L Diesel and 7.5L engines use pedal E4TA-7519-EB which does not have a welded-on stop. Replace the pedal if necessary.
2. Clutch Pedal Linkage Adjustment - Disconnect the cotter pin (380699-S) and the master cylinder pushrod from the clutch lever (7A554). Refer to Figure 26.
* (For 1983 only) Push the master cylinder pushrod forward until it is seated in the pushrod pocket in the master cylinder and check the alignment of the hole in the pushrod with the stud on the clutch lever (7A554).
* If the pushrod hole misaligns from the clutch lever stud by more than 1/8 inch in 1983 vehicles or by more than 1/16 inch in 1984 and 1985 vehicles, then the in-cab linkage is mispositioned. Adjust the pedal linkage per Section C-2 (clutch slipping).
3. Clutch Pedal Stroke Restriction - If the pushrod aligns with the clutch lever stud, then the clutch pedal travel is being inhibited by component other than clutch in-cab linkage. Re-attach the master cylinder pushrod to the clutch lever. Check the clutch pedal travel with a tape measure. Measure the distance between a chosen spot on the front edge of the seat and the pedal. Measure for two conditions: pedal fully up and pedal fully down. The difference between these two measurements equals the pedal travel. Minimum acceptable travel is shown below:

Application Minimum Pedal Travel
1983 6.9L Diesel & 7.5L Gas Engine 6-1/8"
1985 6.9L Diesel & 7.5L Gas Engine 5-3/4"
1984/85 4.9L, 5.0L, & 5.8L Gas Engines 5-3/4"
A possible source of restricted stroke is excessive under carpet padding or "bunching up" of the carpet or padding.

Publication Date: AUGUST 1, 1990

LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-90 BRONCO, F-150, F-250, F-350
1988-90 F SUPER DUTY

ISSUE: Incomplete clutch release and/or hydraulic fluid leaking into the cab from the clutch master cylinder may be caused by the reinforcement plate on the clutch master cylinder separating from the dash panel. The separation of the reinforcement plate reduces the clutch master cylinder pushrod travel. Reinforcement plate separation can also cause deflection of the clutch master cylinder that results in a misalignment of the pushrod to the clutch master cylinder. Misalignment causes the "O" ring in front of the secondary seal to leak hydraulic fluid.

ACTION: Inspect the truck and, if necessary, use the following service procedure to install a reinforcement kit.

TSB 87-16-15 Clutch Pedal Low

LIGHT TRUCK: 1984-87 F-150/350, BRONCO (also applies to '88-96 & '97 >8500GVWR)

ISSUE: A clutch pedal not fully returning to contact the rubber bumper at the "up" stop may result in any of the following conditions.
* Transmission gear clash or hard shifting or failure to release into or from gear (particularly reverse and 1st gear) because clutch pedal stroke length is decreased, causing low pedal reserve.
* Clutch pedal may sometimes stick near the TOP of the stroke, requiring driver to "tip" the pedal with his/her foot in order to get pedal to further return.
* Speed control is inoperative, due to pedal not returning and permitting "shut off" switch circuit to remain in the open position, i.e., clutch disengaged mode.

ACTION: To determine if a new cross-shaft lever is required, use the following diagnostic and servicing procedure.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Check under the dash area to be certain that the clutch pedal system has no wiring looms which interfere with pedal return, at the interlock switch rod and the end of the master cylinder pushrod.
2. Determine if the clutch master cylinder pushrod and lever pin are correctly aligned by disconnecting the pushrod and seeing if it will reassemble to the pin WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE PUSHROD OR DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. (When the pushrod is disconnected from the pin, the clutch master cylinder piston is fully retracted (rearward) and the clutch pedal blade is contacting the rubber bumper stop).
3. If the two components are not in alignment, perform the following IN THIS EXACT SEQUENCE:
a. Loosen the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).
b. Reinstall the clutch master cylinder pushrod to the cross-shaft lever pin.
c. Tighten the clutch pedal attaching nut (left hand side).
d. Stroke the clutch pedal several times to reset the position of the shaft to the pedal slot. THIS STEP IS REQUIRED!
e. Again, remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the lever pin and check the alignment. If the two (2) components are still not in alignment, replace the cross-shaft lever.
NOTE: IF THE PUSHROD IS ALIGNED WITH THE PIN, NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.

Cross-Shaft Lever Replacement
Removal
1. Disconnect the master cylinder pushrod from the cross-shaft lever pin.
* (1984-86 Vehicles: Remove the clevis pin. Carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
* 1987 Vehicles: Disconnect the snap-in bushing by wedging a small screwdriver or putty knife between the lever and the bushing. When the bushing tangs are free at the pin groove, carefully pull the pushrod from the lever.
2. Remove the attaching nut.
3. Remove the lever from the cross-shaft, using a pry tool or puller.

Installation
NOTE: THE PROPER POSITION OF CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER PUSHROD RELATIVE TO THE CROSS-SHAFT LEVER (7A554) PIN IS CONTROLLED BY THIS INSTALLATION PROCEDURE. THERFORE, ONLY THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHOULD BE USED.
1. Install the new lever (pin) to the clutch master cylinder pushrod bushing.
2. Install the lever onto the cross-shaft.
3. Install the attaching nut, finger tight.
4. Inspect pedal position to make sure it is against the "up" stop.
5. Tighten the attaching nut to 50-68 lb-ft (68-92 Nm). This will permit the knurled teeth on the shaft to cut matching teeth in lever, which then results in the correct positioning of the two (2) components.

NOTE: THE ABOVE PROCEDURE IS THE PREFERRED METHOD OF "ADJUSTING" MASTER CYLINDER PUSHROD LENGTH. FREQUENTLY, THE MASTER CYLINDER IS REPLACED OR ADJUSTABLE PUSHRODS ARE INSTALLED TO OBTAIN THE REQUIRED PUSHROD TO LEVER POSITIONING. CROSS-SHAFT LEVER REPLACEMENT IS A MORE EFFICIENT METHOD AND ELIMINATES THE POTENTIAL OF PUSHROD MIS-ADJUSTMENT AND INTRODUCING AIR OR CONTAMINATION INTO THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.

THE DANGER OF CHANGING THE ATF

I'm no slushbox expert, but this is how I understand it:

A) Starting with a good trans & the right fluid, over time, debris is generated in the trans due to normal wear & contamination. The fluid contains detergent additives that keep this debris suspended in the fluid until it can flow back to the filter to be removed.

B) But the fluid only contains SO MUCH detergent. So if it's not changed on-schedule, the debris doesn't get suspended, and it settles out all over the trans. But this alone doesn't cause any immediate problems, which is why so many people neglect the trans fluid for so long.

C) Eventually, someone realizes how old the fluid is, and changes it with fresh detergent-rich fluid. This begins to break up the deposits, but it also loosens large chunks, which can block up the valve body's fine passages & ports, causing MAJOR damage.

D) From what I've seen, there are 2 possible ways to avoid this damage:
1) rebuild the trans
2) change the filter & fluid once, using decent aftermarket ATF. It's also a good time to add the drain plug kit. Then drive 50-200 miles to break up most of the deposits. Then change the fluid & filter again, using MotorCraft Mercon. If the trans goes out after that, it was going out anyway.

I'm no slushbox expert, but this is how I understand it:

A) Starting with a good trans & the right fluid (NOT cheap generic stuff), over time, debris is generated in the trans due to normal wear & contamination. The fluid contains detergent additives that keep this debris suspended in the fluid until it can flow back to the filter to be removed.

B) But the fluid only contains SO MUCH detergent. So if it's not changed on-schedule, the debris doesn't get suspended, and it settles out all over the trans. But this alone doesn't cause any immediate problems, which is why so many people neglect the trans fluid for so long.

C) Eventually, someone realizes how old the fluid is, and changes it with fresh detergent-rich fluid. This begins to break up the deposits, but it also loosens large chunks, which can block up the valve body's fine passages & ports, causing MAJOR damage.

D) From what I've seen, there are 2 possible ways to avoid this damage:
1) rebuild the trans
2) change the filter & fluid once, using decent aftermarket ATF. It's also a good time to add the drain plug kit. Then drive 50-200 miles to break up most of the deposits. Then change the fluid & filter again, using MotorCraft Mercon. If the trans goes out after that, IT WAS GOING OUT ANYWAY. See option 1).

But most of that DOES NOT APPLY to '90-up vehicles because ATF has evolved to the point that it doesn't need to be changed, and the published maintenance schedules say so, about fluid from the 90s. With modern 2020s fluid, it's even less-necessary.

AODs (only) are known to have problems with TV cable adjustment, and it's often due to the original rubber bushing cracking & falling out while driving, which normally destroys the transmission in a couple of miles. But it's so common that Ford makes this upgraded brass bushing, which is cheap (~$10) & easy to install. It was also recalled under ONP 93B31, which is probably no longer active.

The pic above shows a car-style intake & throttle lever, but the truck lever is even easier to find, on top of the engine under the round black plastic cover.

ISSUE: Contamination from prior transmission concerns or excess wear may be trapped in the transmission fluid cooling system. This debris must be removed by properly cleaning the transmission cooling system. After cleaning, some contamination may still remain. The remaining contamination may be reintroduced into the fluid cooling system of a repaired/replaced transmission causing premature or repeat failures.

ACTION: After every overhaul or transmission exchange, clean, flush and backflush the transmission fluid cooling system which includes: fluid cooler, auxiliary cooler, cooler lines, and Cooler Bypass Valve (CBV), if equipped. Perform the cooler flow test to ensure proper transmission fluid flow volume on the transmission return line through the cooling system. Once proper fluid flow volume is verified install the Transmission Fluid In-Line Filter Kit (XC3Z-7B155-AA) in the fluid cooler return line (transmission fluid flow coming out of the fluid cooler going into the transmission).

TSB 93-2-11 Buzz or Rattle through the 4X4 Manual Shift Lever
Publication Date: JANUARY 18, 1993

Applies to: LIGHT TRUCK: 1992 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES

ISSUE: A "buzz" or "rattle" may be heard through the 4X4 transfer case shift lever while driving or standing still, when the engine RPM is above 1500 RPM. This can be caused by a powertrain vibration that is transferred to the shift lever.

ACTION: Check the shift lever attaching bolts and handle attaching nut for proper torque to determine if a new 4X4 manual shift lever with improved isolating o-rings is required.

1. Confirm the buzz/rattle and note the condition at which it occurs.

2. Make sure the attaching bolts which secure the 4X4 manual shift lever to the transmission extension housing are properly torqued. Tighten to 85 ft.-lbs., ± 12.7 ft.-lbs. (115 N-m ± 17.3 N-m).

3. Make sure the handle attaching nut is properly torqued. Tighten to 18 ft.-lbs., ± 2.8 ft.-lbs. (25 N-m ± 3.8 N-m).

4. Check to see if the buzz/rattle still exists and note the condition at which it occurs.

5. If it still exists, remove the 4X4 shifter assembly (including the handle) from the vehicle. Refer to the 1992 F-150/350, Bronco Service Manual, Section 07-07B, for removal procedure.

6. With the shifter assembly removed, check to see if the "buzz/rattle" still exists.
* If the same "buzz/rattle" still exists, look for the noise elsewhere and correct the concern.
* If the "buzz/rattle" is no longer present, replace the 4x4 manual shifter assembly with a new assembly which has improved isolating rubber o-rings. Also replace the control rod connecting the shifter to the transfer case. Refer to the Parts Block for proper parts usage. Refer to the 1992 F-150/350, Bronco Service Manual, Section 07-07B, for the installation procedure.
* DO NOT replace the shift handle. Reuse the existing handle.

TSB 91-14-15 TRANSFER CASE - BORG WARNER 1345 - REVISED SHIFT CONTROL LEVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE - 4X4 VEHICLES
Publication Date: 07/11/91

LIGHT TRUCK: 1990-91 F-150-350 SERIES

ISSUE: The 1990 and 1991 Shop Manuals incorrectly state that the shift control lever is pointed downward. The shift control lever should be pointed UPWARD.

In prior model years, the lever was pointed downward. However, in 1990 the position of the shift lever was changed, it was pointed upward. The 1990 and 1991 Shop Manuals were not previously updated to reflect this change. A Quarterly TSB Update will be issued in September correcting the Shop Manual pages.

ACTION: If assembly of the transfer case is required, make sure that the shift control lever is pointing UPWARD in the neutral position.

For other TSBs, check here.

TSB 92-01-08 (Excerpt) Touch-Drive ESOF Operation
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
Publication Date: JANUARY 6, 1992

LIGHT TRUCK: 1990 and prior BRONCO II
1992 and prior AEROSTAR, BRONCO, F-150, F-250, F-350, RANGER
1991-92 EXPLORER

ISSUE: Ford 4-wheel drive vehicles were discussed at length in the 1991 April, May and June issues of Shop Tips. Topics included locking hubs, transfer cases, vehicle operating characteristics, driveline windup and service tips. This information is being reprinted here to better assist the technician with questions concerning 4WD operation and service.

ACTION: Refer to the following for Ford 4WD information.

"TOUCH DRIVE" - NEW ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FOR 1991
A new electronic control module has been installed on the 1991 model Ford trucks with "Touch Drive," built after 8/6/90. The new module features a different computer logic to control shifting.

With the previous module, it was possible for the driver to select 4L directly from 2WD. However, the control module actually shifted the vehicle into 4H first, then checked to see if the vehicle was stopped and that the automatic transmission was in neutral (or the manual transmission clutch was disengaged). If these conditions were not met, the actual shift wouldn't take place. Instead, everything would be made ready for the moment when the shift could be completed. This was called pre-staging.

During pre-staging, the Low Range light flashed. This confused some customers. In addition, pre-staging and the flashing light sent confusing signals to the new E4OD transmission's electronic controller.

The new module solves both these problems. With the new logic, if the driver selects 4L when in 2WD, nothing will happen, because the transfer case controller ignores the 4L signal. The driver must make the shift to 4H first, then (while stopped) shift to 4L.

DIAGNOSIS OF THE ELECTRIC SHIFT 4 x 4 TRANSFER CASE
The Ford "Touch Drive" electronic shift-on-the-fly system is currently available on Ranger, Bronco, F-Series and Explorer. Following are the six common concerns most often expressed by customers:

Nothing happens (dead system).
No range shift.
Attempt to shift into 4H from 2H or 4L results in the module clicking and chattering and the system stops in 2H.
At start up, the vehicle shifts on its own.
Indicator lights don't register the correct information.
Shifting on the fly isn't smooth and may require stopping in order to complete the shift.
All these conditions can be best understood by taking a close look at a schematic of the electrical system linked below.
******* USE THIS DIAGRAM *******
P1 = ESOF Module Pin A8
P2 = ESOF Module Pin A7
P3 = Electronic Shift Control Switch Pin 8
.
*****************************

Power In
Power is supplied to the system at 3 points:

P1. This is a direct connection to the battery. This power drives the electric shift control motor and provides current to the instrument cluster lamps. This circuit goes to ground G1.

P2. The electronic shift control module is tied into the ignition circuit. This circuit provides power to the computer and goes to ground G2.

P3. Nighttime illumination is provided by a connection to the vehicle's nighttime illumination circuit, which goes to ground G3.



The electronic shift control module directs power depending on the position of the control switches. In Figure 21, you will notice that inputs and outputs to and from the shift module are labeled "A", "B" or "C." "A" circuits are power circuits, "B" circuits are data circuits from sensors and "C" circuits are activating switch and related lamp circuits.

We have already explained the power in circuits "A." The "B" circuits supply data from three sources: The speed sensor, the motor position sensor and either a neutral switch (for automatic transmissions) or a clutch switch (for manual transmissions).

The speed sensor is important because the vehicle must be stopped for a shift into or out of 4L. The shift module won't make the shift if the vehicle is moving. The shift module also won't make a shift to 4L or back unless an automatic transmission is in neutral or the clutch is depressed on a manual transmission.

The motor position sensor indicates the position of the shift motor shaft. This shaft turns through approximately 270 degrees and should stop at three indexed points, 2H, 4H and 4L (Figure 20). The shift control module needs to know where the shaft is before making a new shift. When this sensor isn't functioning properly or the motor stops slightly off location, the shift control module may become "confused."

The "C" circuits involve the switches on the vehicle's control panel. When everything is working properly, activating a switch will result in either a from 2H to 4H or back, or a shift from 4H to 4L or back. The default operating mode is 2H. This means that in the absence of other instructions, the control module will assume that the vehicle should be in 2H. If there is a failure in the system during shifts or engine start up, it will default the vehicle to 2H and permit continued operation.


DIAGNOSIS
With this background, let's diagnose our six problem areas.

Nothing Happens (Dead System)

The obvious first step in diagnosing a dead system is to check the power sources, fuses and grounds. If these check out, you should run the shift control module self-test. Figure 22 shows the module with pigtail "A," "B" and "C" attachments. The self-test button and self-test LED are located on the side of the shift control module.


Disconnect the "B" and "C" connectors, turn on the ignition and allow 4 seconds for the module to power up. Then push the self-test button. If the LED doesn't illuminate, the module is dead and must be replaced. If the LED comes on and stays on for 30 seconds, there is an error condition and the module will have to be replaced. If the module is OK the LED will flash 4 times.

This test, however, is not 100 percent accurate. During the test, the vehicle isn't operating, so the shift control module isn't receiving data and initiating shifts. If the unit passes the self-test, it's probably a good module. Go on to check for other probable causes, but don't rule out the module entirely. If your search doesn't turn up any other cause, it may be the module after all. You may have to try replacing the module even though it passed the self-test.


Check Sensors

A logical next step is to check the three sensors with the ignition on. The transmission sensors (manual or automatic) should be closed with the clutch in, or the automatic shift in neutral. The speed sensor should show 225-275 ohms with the vehicle stopped. Check at the module connection.

Check both the motor position sensors and the wiring harness at B4, B5, B6 and B7 and the input from B8 (see Figure 21). Make sure the harness is OK first, then check the contacts against the chart in Figure 23. Each valid combination of open and closed switches indicates a different position of the motor. For example, at the 4H position, B7 is closed, B6 is closed, B5 is open and B4 is open. Besides the three main positions (2H, 4H and 4L), intermediate positions are also shown - three between 2H and 4H and three bewteen 4H and 4L (see Figure 20 and the chart in Figure 23). Combinations other than those shown in Figure 23 indicate a defective motor sensor assembly.


Check Transfer Case Motor

To check if the transfer case motor is actually functioning (because it may be hard to hear it in a noisy shop) attach a voltmeter to A4 and A5. Have someone activate a shift and look for a brief (one second) increase in voltage and listen for the relay to click on, then off.

If there is power present, then the control module is trying to run the motor. At this point, unbolt the motor and have someone activate a shift again. If the motor doesn't actually turn, it is malfunctioning and must be replaced.

If there is no power to the motor, check both the power circuits again and the sensors. If there is incorrect sensor data, the module won't power the motor.


Check Shift Switches

If the problem isn't in the sensors or the motor, you should next check the control panel switches. Make this check with the ignition on. Disconnect the "B" and "C" connections to the sensors, so that their data won't confuse the diagnosis. Now check power at the C1 connection at the module. There should be 5 volts coming from the shift control module to the 4H and 4L switches. Check C1, C2, and C3 for short to ground.

You can check the switches themselves by disconnecting C1 and checking continuity across C1 to C2 and C1 to C3. If current passes when the switch buttons are pushed, the switches are OK.

Finally, check for a short between C2 and C3 by bridging between them and activating the 4H and 4L buttons. There are situations where wiring harnesses get crushed in such a way that two wires are crushed together and short, even though there is no short to ground.


Check Lamps

To check the lamps, turn the ignition on and ground C4 and C5. The lamps should light.


No Range Shift

If the vehicle won't shift into 4L, check the speed sensor and the transmission interlocks (neutral or clutch in). Also check the 4L switch (C3) to see if the module is getting a signal. Be sure to check for corroded connections.

It may seem strange to say this, but you should ask the owner/operator if this was the first time the vehicle was ever shifted into 4L. Many vehicles are purchased and operated for considerable periods of time before a shift to 4L is made. The problem may be a defective part that was there from the beginning.

If the vehicle is brought to the shop in 4L with the report that it won't shift back to 4H, your first check is to follow the proper sequence of being stopped and having the vehicle in neutral (or clutch in) when pushing the switch. If this doesn't do the trick, check the 4L switch and the motor position sensor.


Shift From 2H to 4H Results in Chatter and Clicking Noises From The Module, But No Shift

Typically, in this situation the motor hunts for 4H, but overshoots, then hunts back and overshoots the other way. After 7-10 seconds, with lots of clicks and chatter, the module gives up and returns to the default, which is 2H. This problem is normally not the sensor input. It is usually the result of the motor running too fast or braking too slowly to allow the module to position it accurately. The motor must be replaced.


At Start Up, the Vehicle Shifts On Its Own

This can occur when the motor position sensor indicates an intermediate position between 4H and 4L. If the vehicle is started in PARK instead of NEUTRAL, when the driver first moves the transmission shift lever to DRIVE, the transmission passes through NEUTRAL. As it passes through NEUTRAL, the shift module activates the shift called for by the misinformation from the motor position sensor. On manual transmissions or automatic transmissions started in NEUTRAL, the shift occurs immediately. This may be a one-time-only event. However, the motor position sensor should be checked if it happens frequently.

There is another situation when owners may report a similar occurence. In Bronco II, Ranger and Explorer vehicles built before August, 1990, the shift control module is turned on whenever the ignition switch is placed in the accessory position, but the shift lights are not powered. For example, if someone has the radio on while they clean the interior of the cab, and they accidentally activate a shift button, there would be no indication of what had happened. If they then went to drive the vehicle, the shift that had been accidentally selected would be seen. In vehicles built after August, 1990, the module is only powered in the run and start position.


Indicator Lights Don't Register the Correct Information

Ranger, Bronco II and Explorer have indicator lights in two locations. There are lights on the dash and LED indicator lights in the switches. Other vehicles have only the dash lights. If the dash lights on any vehicle don't respond, look for no power or a burned out bulb.

If the lights are on all the time, look for a short to ground. Also check to see if the shift control module is activating them all...this is a malfunction.

If the LED lights, in the buttons, remain on all the time, first check to see if the dash lights are also on. If the dash lights are not on, this means that the dash lights have burned out. The LED lights are on because a low current is still passing across, enough to light the LED.

If no lights illuminate as you go through the shifts and ground power and bulbs are good, then the module is at fault or the motor has stopped at an intermediate point.


Shifting on the Fly Isn't Smooth and May Require Stopping in Order to Complete the Shift

Look for problems with the electric magnetic clutch. If the racheting or grinding goes on for more than four seconds, there may be a problem with power to the clutch from the shift control module, the clutch ground or the clutch itself. Check the wiring harness as well.

FSA 93S65 1993 F-Series and Bronco 4x4 Vehicles with the Touch-Drive Electric Shift-on-the-Fly Transfer Case (ESOF) (F1TA-7A195-DA)
Check the Ford website &/or the NHTSA to see if your VIN is affected.

Note that this is a safety recall, and any included vehicle will be repaired free, no matter how old it is, how long the owner waits to present it for repair, or how many times it has been sold.

Ford Motor Company has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1993 Model Year F-Series and Bronco 4x4 vehicles equipped with the Touch-Drive electric shift transfer cases.

Safety Defect
Some of the affected vehicles may have an electronic transfer case that contains a prior level electric shift motor. In the four-wheel drive "high" mode of operation, the transfer case may shift to "neutral" without input from the driver. This condition may occur while the vehicle is coasting in a forward direction or while engine power is being applied in reverse. The vehicle can be operated normally in the two-wheel drive modes and in the four-wheel drive "low" mode.

WARNING: IF A DRIVER PARKS THE VEHICLE IN THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE "HIGH" MODE WITHOUT FULLY SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE, IT COULD ROLL FREELY AS IF IN NEUTRAL CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH OR PERSONAL INJURY.

As stated in the Owner's Guide for your vehicle, Ford recommends that a vehicle operator always set the parking brake when leaving the vehicle unattended.

Repairs
At no charge to you, your dealer will inspect the transfer case and, if necessary, replace it. Dealers currently have instructions and parts ordering information. When you bring your truck in, show the dealer this letter. If you misplace this letter, your dealer will still do the work, free of charge. If the dealer doesn't make the repair promptly and without charge, you may contact the Ford Customer Assistance Center, 300 Renaissance Center, P.O. Box 43360, Detroit, Michigan 48243. You also may send a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590 or call the toll free Auto Safety Hotline 1-800-424-9393 (Washington, D.C. area residents may call 366-0123).

How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for the inspection is approximately one half (1/2) hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for one full working day. If the inspection reveals that a new transfer case is needed, it may be necessary for your dealer to order it. Call your dealer without delay.

Courtesy Cars
Should the transfer case of your vehicle require replacement, your dealer will provide you with a free (except for fuel) courtesy car until parts arrive and repairs are completed.

Affected Vehicles: 1993 Model F- Series and Bronco 4x4 Vehicles

Technical Instructions
1. Inspect the electronic transfer case wiring harness (the wiring harness may need to be cleaned for inspection). If the harness is GRAY, DO NOT REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE. Claim inspect time only.

TSB 94-09-12 Visor Screws
TSB 95-14-11 Dome Lamp Screws
Publication Date: JULY 17, 1995

LIGHT TRUCK: 1994-95 BRONCO, F SUPER DUTY, F-150-350 SERIES

ISSUE: Some customers may have concerns that the following features are inoperative:
* All courtesy lamps
* Map lamps
* Engine compartment lamp
* Glove compartment lamp
* Odometer in the instrument cluster
* Dome lamp
* Power mirrors
* Lighted vanity
* Cargo lamp
* Remote keyless entry

This is due to insufficient clearance between the outer roof panel of the cab and a map/dome lamp mounting screw, causing a short in Circuit 54, which causes Fuse 8 (15 amp) to become inoperative. This fuse protects the wiring for the above vehicle features.

ACTION: Replace existing dome mounting screws with new, shorter screws. Refer to the following procedure for service details.

BACKGROUND
Three (3) screws (52814-S36) are required to mount the map/dome lamp to the inner roof panel of the cab. Two (2) of the three (3) screws are used to complete two (2) electrical circuits, 53 and 54. Circuit 53 is after the lamp switches and is "cold" ("cold" means that 12 volts are not present) and Circuit 54 is before the lamp switches and is "hot" at all times ("hot" means that there are always 12 volts present).

The 52814-S36 screw is approximately 25.4mm (1") long. When there is a sufficient amount of downward force applied to the outer roof panel of the cab, the panel will make contact with the screw that has Circuit 54 (12 volts) on it. For example: When the brushes and dryer pass over the roof of the truck in a car wash or when traveling at highway speeds. As the roof panel contacts the screw, it causes a direct short-to-ground. When this occurs, Fuse 8 will be overloaded (15 amp), open and disable the listed features.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Carefully pry pillar/dome lamp lens from interior lamp body.
2. Remove screws retaining interior lamp (map/dome) to roof trim panel.
3. Install new screws (52802-S36, 19mm).
NOTE: ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO REMOVE OLD SCREWS AND CUT/GRIND APPROXIMATELY 6.35mm (1/4") OFF THE END AND REINSTALL.

On a small number of the affected vehicles, a short circuit could develop in the ignition switch that could lead to overheating, smoke, and possibly fire in the steering column area of your vehicle. The condition may occur while the vehicle is in use or unattended.

Repairs
At no charge to you, your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer will replace the ignition switch with a revised design switch. Dealers currently have instructions and parts ordering information.

The dealer will also check the wiring in the upper steering column area and will inspect for the installation of any aftermarket electrical accessories. If an improper installation is noted that is not part of this recall, you will be advised to have it corrected.

How Long Will It Take?
The time needed for this service is less than one hour. However, due to service scheduling times, your dealer may need your vehicle for a longer period.

Call your dealer without delay. Ask for a service date and whether parts are in stock for Safety Recall 95S28. If your dealer does not have the parts in stock, they can be ordered before scheduling your service date. Parts would be expected to arrive within a week.

Safety Recall 95S28: Ignition Switch Replacement

1. Connect Rotunda Memory Saver 014-R1064 or equivalent.

2. Disconnect battery negative cable.

NOTE: Access to the ignition switch varies depending on the vehicle line. In all cases the switch is mounted on the steering column and certain items will need to be removed to gain access. Examine the components around the ignition switch to determine what may need to be removed or positioned out of the way. Refer to the appropriate service repair manual for removal and installation procedures. Once access is gained, proceed as follows.

NOTE: The new ignition switch is shipped in the LOCK position. Keep the ignition lock cylinder (ignition key) in the lock position during this procedure.

3. Disconnect electrical connector from the ignition switch.

4. Remove ignition switch retaining screws.

5. Disengage switch from the actuator pin and remove switch from vehicle.

6. Remove the positioning clip from the new ignition switch if so equipped, and install the switch onto the actuator pin. Align the switch mounting holes with the column lock housing threaded holes.

7. If supplied, install new retaining screws. If re-installing original screws, apply Ford Threadlock and Sealer E0AZ-19554-AA (CXC-70) or equivalent to the threads. Tighten to 6-8 N-m (53-70 in-lb).

8. Connect electrical connector to the ignition switch. Ensure that the connections are tight and fully seated.

9. Connect battery negative cable and remove Rotunda Memory Saver.

10. Check ignition switch for proper function, including START and ACC positions.

11. Check the wiring in the area of the upper steering column. If abrasion or exposure of bare wires is found, repair as necessary. If aftermarket accessory wiring is improperly connected, advise the vehicle owner. Advise also that repairs of such faults are at customer expense.

12. Install any components previously removed for access ensuring that no wires are pinched and the components are properly seated. Refer to appropriate service repair manual as required.


Dealers Questions and Answers

Q1. Is this a voluntary safety recall?

A. Yes. We have been working in cooperation with Transport Canada and NHTSA to investigate reported concerns with the subject switch.

Q2. How many vehicles are involved?

A. 8.5 million vehicles in the Unites States and Canada. The total when you add the previous Canadian recalled vehicles is 8.7 million vehicles.

Q3. What vehicles are involved?

A. 1988-1990 Escort
1988 EXP
1988-1992 and early build 1993 Mustang
1988-1992 and early build 1993 Tempo/Topaz
1988-1992 and early build 1993 Thunderbird/Cougar
1988-1989 Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis
1988-1989 Lincoln Town Car
1988-1991 Aerostar
1988-1991 Bronco/F-Series Light Trucks


Q4. Why are vehicles NOT included in this recall?

A1. Many Ford and Lincoln-Mercury cars and trucks built between 1984 and 1993 are excluded from this action for the following three reasons:

1) Some were built prior to a supplier manufacturing process change;

2) Some vehicles have low electrical load through the switch; or

3) Other vehicles are equipped with ignition switches that are of a completely different design.

Q5. What do you mean by "electrical load?"

A. Electrical load is the amount of current that passes through the switch when the vehicle is started. Electrical load is impacted by standard and optional equipment, electrical circuitry, as well as cold weather operation.

Q6. What about vehicles built before 1988?

A. We believe that a manufacturing process change made by our switch supplier caused a change in internal switch dimensions. We have determined that as a result, a small number of switches are more susceptible to the potential for internal short circuits. Certain models with low electrical loads are not affected by the change. Vehicles produced prior to the 1988 model year are not included in the recall, because they are not equipped with ignition switches that are subject to this dimensional change. Ford has based this conclusion on an in-depth engineering analysis, and data supplied to us by our supplier.

CUSTOMER ISSUES

Q7. What about people who have had a vehicle fire, their vehicle would be included in the recall population, but they no longer own the vehicle? Will they be compensated?

A. Fires happen in vehicles for a number of reasons. For example, a fire could be the result of an improper vehicle modification (aftermarket accessories), arson, prior accident damage, or a faulty repair. Generally, vehicle losses are covered by insurance.

Q8. What about people who had a vehicle fire, still own the car, but it isn't being recalled?

A. Fires happen in vehicles for a number of reasons. For example, a fire could be the result of an improper vehicle modification (aftermarket accessories), arson, prior accident damage, or a faulty repair. Generally, vehicle losses are covered by insurance.

Q9. What about people who have/had property damage -- how will they be compensated?

A. Fires happen in vehicles for a number of reasons. For example, a fire could be the result of an improper vehicle modification (aftermarket accessories), arson, prior accident damage, or a faulty repair. Generally, vehicle losses are covered by insurance.

WHAT SHOULD CUSTOMER DO?

Q10. When did you notify dealers? When will customers be notified? What can they do in the meantime?

A. Dealers have been notified via Combat on 4/25/96 and will receive a Recall Bulletin on 4/26/96 via FedEx. Customers will be notified through the mail. Should an owner wish to have the switch replaced in advance of being notified by mail, dealers have been provided instructions and can replace the switch at no cost.

TSB 94-11-23 PSOM Programming by DIP Switch
Publication Date: JUNE 1, 1994

MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK: 1987-95 C SERIES, CARGO SERIES, F & B SERIES, L SERIES

ISSUE: The field has requested a simplified calibration procedure for electronic speedometers/odometers.

ACTION: Use the following TSB article to service all electronic speedometer/odometer calibration concerns. This TSB article supersedes both TSB 90-24-13 and TSB 93-25-16. Refer to the following procedure for service details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
The transmission-mounted speed sensor transmits a signal to the speedometer/odometer which is dependent on:
* Rear axle ratio
* Tire revolutions per mile (RPMi) based on tire height.

REAR AXLE RATIO DETERMINATION
The axle ratio can be determined by referring to the information delivered with the vehicle or finding the metal tag attached to the differential. If the vehicle has a two speed differential, (e.g. 4.10/5.72:1), use the smaller number (4.10 in this case) in all calculations.

TIRE REVOLUTIONS PER MILE DETERMINATION
The revolutions per mile can be determined as follows:
1. Measure the tire height (ground to top of tire) in inches with the vehicle on level ground, loaded with the tires "cold" and inflated to the recommended pressure . Measure to the nearest 1/8".
2. Use the following table to convert "eighths" to decimals. If calculation is done in centimeters, divide tire height by 2.54 to convert to inches.
EIGHTHS/DECIMALS CONVERSION CHART
EIGHTHS DECIMAL EQUIVALENT
1/8 .125
1/4 .250
3/8 .375
1/2 .500
5/8 .625
3/4 .750
7/8 .875
(Example: If tire height is 36-1/8", use 36.125" in your revolutions per mile calculations.)
3. Divide 20,168 (constant) by the tire height to get revolutions per mile. This is RPMi (Example: 20,168 / 36.125 = 558.28 ).

CALIBRATION FREQUENCY DETERMINATION
Multiply the axle ratio times the revolutions per mile, times 0.267 (constant) (Example: 558.28 x 4.10 x 0.267 = 611.49). Round the 611.49 to the nearest whole number, which is 611 (on Ametek heads round to the nearest even whole number).

DETERMINE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER SWITCH SETTINGS
1. Determine which type speedometer/odometer is being installed. The following procedure applies for both "stand-alone" and gauge "cluster" type speedometer/odometer units. (Replacement units are either the 12-switch Beede or the 10-switch Ametek type. The 10-switch Beede has been discontinued for service.)
2. If the unit to be calibrated is a 10-switch type, determine if it is an Ametek or a Beede by looking at the type of electrical connection on the back. The Beede has four (4) "studs", while the Ametek has a single plug-in type connector. If a 10-switch Beede is replaced with a 10-switch Ametek, a simple electrical jumper wire will be included with the new speedometer.
3. There are three speedometer setting charts: Ametek 10-position, Figure 1; Beede 12-position, Figures 2-5; and Beede 10-position, Figure 6.
4. Using the correct chart, find the "test-freq" in the left hand column, and read the switch settings in the next column. A number means that switch is to be placed in the "ON" or closed position, and a period means that the switch is to be placed in the "OFF" or open position. (Example: Using the Beede 12-position chart and the 611 test frequency calculated in the example, the chart gives switch settings as: 1.3456.8.0.B). This means that switches 1,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 12 are "ON", and switches 2,7,9 and 11 are "OFF".
a. If the speedometer has 12 switches, the letters "A" and "B" are used to represent switches 11 and 12.
b. There are at least three different styles of switches with unique switch position labeling. Ignore the switch position labeling. Pushing the top of the switch in turns the switch "ON". Pushing the bottom of the switch in turns the switch "OFF".
5. Figure 7 is a "picture" of a 12-position speedometer/odometer switch with switches 1,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 12 "ON", and switches 2, 7, 9 and 11 "OFF".
NOTE: THE SWITCH SETTING IS THE SAME FOR MILES PER HOUR OR KILOMETERS PER HOUR.

ISSUE: New vehicles that are stored for extended periods and not put into service shortly after they are built require special maintenance to make sure that the vehicle stays in "like new" condition.

ACTION: If a vehicle is expected to remain in dealer stock for an extended time period, refer to the following maintenance procedures.

The dealer is responsible for storing new vehicles and maintaining them in new condition.

General
Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated place; protect from sunlight if possible.
If vehicles are stored outside, they require regular maintenance against rust and damage.

Body
Wash vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar, or mud from exterior surfaces, rear wheel housing, and underside of front fenders.
Periodically wash cars and trucks stored in exposed locations.
Touch-up exposed raw or primed metal to prevent rust.
Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent discoloration. Re-wax as necessary when the vehicle is washed.
Lubricate all hood, door, and trunk lid hinges and latches with a light grade oil.
CAUTION: KEEP ALL RUBBER PARTS FREE FROM OIL AND SOLVENTS.
Cover interior soft trim to prevent fading.

Engine
Start engine every fifteen (15) days. Run at fast idle until it reaches normal operating temperature.
Shift the transmission into all gears while engine is running.

Transmission
Run engine to normal operating temperature.
Shift the transmission into all gears with engine running.
Check fluid level and condition (no water contamination, etc.).
Basic (Stripped) Chassis Vehicles %u2014 cover transmission to prevent water from entering thru the vent.

Fuel System
Regularly move vehicles short distances to mix fuel anti-oxidation agents.
NOTE: DURING EXTENDED PERIODS OF VEHICLE STORAGE (60 DAYS OR MORE), GASOLINE MAY DETERIORATE DUE TO OXIDATION. THIS CAN DAMAGE RUBBER AND OTHER POLYMERS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM SUCH AS CARBURETOR ACCELERATOR PUMP, DIAPHRAGMS, AND CARBURETOR INLET VALVES. IT MAY ALSO CLOG SMALL ORIFICES. DIESEL FUEL DETERIORATION IN THE FORM OF FUEL SEPARATION, SLUDGE FORMATION, AND BACTERIAL GROWTH CAN CAUSE RESTRICTIONS IN FUEL SUPPLY LINES, FILTERS, AND STICKING OF FUEL INJECTION COMPONENTS.
A commercially available gasoline fuel stabilizer ("STA-BIL" or equivalent) should be added to gasoline-powered vehicles or a diesel fuel stabilizer ("Fire Prep 1000" or equivalent) to diesel-powered vehicles whenever actual or expected storage periods exceed 60 days. The manufacturer's instructions packaged with the product should be followed. The vehicle should then be operated at an idle speed to circulate the additive throughout the fuel system.
A volatile, corrosion inhibitor ("NOX Rust VCI 105" or equivalent) added to the fuel will protect the fuel tank inner surface from corrosion. Follow instructions packaged with product.

Cooling System
Protect against freezing temperatures. Replace coolant every 2 years regardless of mileage or run-time.

Battery
Check and recharge as necessary. Keep connections clean and covered with a light coat of grease.

Brakes
Make sure brakes and parking brake are fully released.

Tires
Maintain recommended air pressure.

Miscellaneous
Make sure all linkages, cables, levers, and clevis pins under vehicle are covered with grease to prevent rust.
Move trucks at least 25 feet every fifteen (15) days to lubricate working parts to prevent corrosion.

NOTE: THE SELLING DEALER MUST ARRANGE TO HAVE VEHICLES, WHICH ARE DELIVERED TO BODY COMPANIES OR OTHER LOCATIONS, STORED AND MAINTAINED AS OUTLINED ABOVE.

ISSUE: Many motorhome owners tow a vehicle when traveling. Improper techniques can "overload" the brake system of the tow vehicle or damage the drivetrain of the vehicle being towed.

ACTION: Use the information and charts shown in this TSB article to properly match tow vehicle, towed vehicle and towing method.

TOWING METHODS
1. TRAILER - The vehicle is loaded onto and secured to a trailer and simply acts as "secured" cargo.
2. DOLLY - The vehicle is "partially" loaded and partially towed. Either front or rear wheels are loaded and secured to a "towing dolly" and the other wheels roll on the road.
3. TOW BAR - All of the vehicle wheels roll on the pavement. The towed vehicle's steering column must be unlocked so that it can track correctly behind the tow vehicle.

WEIGHT RATINGS AND BRAKES
* GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - is the MAXIMUM allowable weight of the towing vehicle, passengers and cargo
* GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) - is the MAXIMUM allowable weight of the towing vehicle and the weight of the trailer or vehicle being towed, including all passengers and cargo
* BRAKES - The motorhome brakes are designed and rated for the GVWR of that vehicle and will provide adequate braking for trailers and towing vehicles up to 680 kg (1500 lb)
CAUTION: SEPARATE AUXILIARY BRAKES ARE REQUIRED ON TRAILERS OR TOWED VEHICLES OVER 680 KG (1500 LBS). DO NOT CONNECT A TRAILER'S, DOLLY'S OR OTHER TOWED VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM TO THE TOWING VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM.

TOWED VEHICLES
1. Trailer-towed - The vehicle should be loaded on the trailer in a manner to achieve a trailer tongue load of 10-15% of total trailer weight, not exceed the trailer or hitch ratings and be securely tied down.
2. Dolly-towed - For front wheel drive vehicles, towing an automatic transaxle (ATX)-equipped vehicle behind another vehicle, such as a Recreational Vehicle (RV), requires that a front wheel dolly or trailer be used.
NOTE: TEMPO ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS MUST BE TRAILER-TOWED. DO NOT TOW THESE VEHICLES USING A TWO-WHEEL TOWING DOLLY.
CAUTION: DO NOT TOW A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTOMATIC (ATX) TRANSAXLE WITH THE DRIVE WHEELS ON THE GROUND. DAMAGE TO THE TRANSAXLE MAY RESULT.
3. Tow Bar-towed - Vehicles which can be successfully towed with a tow bar are listed in the following chart. Additional vehicle-specific information follows the chart.

NOTE: DO NOT TOW ANY VEHICLE AT A SPEED FASTER THAN 88 KM/H (55 MPH). THE MAXIMUM TOWING DISTANCE (WHEN TOWED CORRECTLY) IS UNLIMITED.
WARNING: NEVER USE A TOW BAR THAT ATTACHES ONLY TO THE BUMPER.

MTX-EQUIPPED VEHICLES
Towing a manual transaxle (MTX)-equipped vehicle with the drive wheels on the ground is acceptable only if the vehicle is towed in a forward direction. The parking brake must be released and the gear shift lever must be in Neutral.

* For Aspire, Festiva, Escort and Tracer, the ignition key must be in the ACC position, the battery must be disconnected to eliminate battery drain, and the steering wheel must be unlocked
* For Capri, the ignition key must be in the OFF position and the steering wheel unlocked
* Refer to the specific vehicle Owner Guide for complete details.
CAUTION: TOWING MTX-EQUIPPED VEHICLES INCORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN TRANSAXLE DAMAGE.

TRUCKS
* The steering wheel must be unlocked by placing the ignition key in the OFF position
* Manual transmission shift lever must be in Neutral
* On 4X4 manual shift transfer cases, the shift lever must be in Neutral
* 4X4 locking hubs (both manual and automatic) must be unlocked

MirrorButtonE6000.JPG | Hits: 5331 | Size: 60.89 KB | Posted on: 8/1/09 | Link to this image


My preferred method. E6000 is available at most parts stores, most hobby/craft stores, most hardware stores, and some Wal-Mart type stores. It's available in 3.5oz or 2oz, and the larger tubes are generally more economical. It comes clear, black, or white. After marking the location (the top of the button should be 4.5-6" below the center of the outside trim) on the outside of the glass, and thoroughly cleaning the inside, put enough E6000 on the mirror button (REMOVED from the mirror) to coat it with a thin layer, and IMMEDIATELY press it to the windshield firmly, with a short strip of strong tape hanging across it. The glue should spread over the whole button, and the air pockets should be ejected. While holding it in-place, tape it to the glass tightly, and leave it for several hours before hanging the mirror on it. Counterintuitively, the harder the button is mashed to the glass, the LONGER it takes for the glue to dry. Using black E6000 makes it easier to judge - if you can barely see the button through the glue from the outside, it's about right to cure in a (warm) day.

Another good RV mirror button adhesive is toughened (rubberized) cyanoacrylate (superglue) like LocTite 410, 380, 480, or BSI IC-2000.

.

E6000 is also effective as a general adhesive on many surfaces, and as a form-in-place gasket where silicone may not be desirable. It remains pliable even when fully-cured, and is much stronger than RTV silicone. But it is NOT oil-proof.

ISSUE: This TSB article introduces a new procedure and tool for reattaching the inside rear view mirror assembly in the event the mirror detaches.

ACTION: Utilize the new Rotunda Mirror Button Applicator (164-R3925) to bond the mirror button to the windshield. This preferred method provides improved adhesion performance. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE IF WINDSHIELD IS DAMAGED (E.G., CHIPPED, CRACKED, OR EXHIBITS STAR BREAKS) WITHIN 152mm (6") OF THE MIRROR BUTTON, AND IF PLASTIC FILMS HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD (SUCH AS ADDITIONAL GRADIENT BANDS) WITHIN 51mm (2") OF THE MIRROR BUTTON.

Mark original location of bracket on outside of windshield with any appropriate marking tool (e.g., white china marker) before you begin.
NOTE: SURFACES MUST BE CLEAN FOR PROPER BONDING TO OCCUR.

Use the following steps to ensure proper cleaning of windshield:
Carefully remove any adhesive residue from the windshield using a new single edge razor blade.
Spray the inside surface of the windshield with a glass cleaner and wipe with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
Remove the liner from the pre-applied tape and apply the button directly onto the windshield at the marked location.
Button sizes:
F7AZ-17698-AA Small Footprint Size (16mm X 33mm)
F7AZ-17698-BA Large Footprint Size (21mm X 29mm)

Center the curing head of the Rotunda Mirror Button Applicator (164-R3925) over the button. Hold the curing head in place and press the "ON" button to activate the vacuum pump. Press the "START" button of the time/temperature controller to begin the cure cycle. Immediately clean the mirror button location marks from the outside of the windshield. Do not release the curing head until the cycle is completed.
The AUTOMATIC CYCLE (once the start button is pressed) is as follows:
Time of curing cycle will be displayed.
Time will stay constant until cure temperature 185°C (365°F) is reached.
Once the cure temperature is reached, display will reflect time remaining for complete cure.

CAUTION: THE HEATER BLOCK MAY STILL BE WARM. HANDLE WITH A GLOVE AND AVOID CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE THAT MAY BE DAMAGED BY HIGH TEMPERATURE.

Turn the applicator off. Press the vacuum release button and remove the curing head from the windshield. Once the button has cooled to ambient temperature (about 5 minutes), reattach the mirror assembly.

The SCDS was located here ONLY in '93 on trucks with cruise; older trucks used a mechanical vaccum valve on the brake pedal to cancel cruise; later trucks had this switch on the master cylinder, where it starts fires.
