1996 Ford Bronco Backup Lamps Wiring Diagram 93-2 - MLP Sensor, E4OD/4R70W

This is page 93-2, "Backup Lamps," from a Ford factory wiring diagram manual, uploaded to a 1996 Ford Bronco gallery. It shows the backup lamp circuit as it passes through the Manual Lever Position (MLP) sensor used with the 4R70W or E4OD automatic transmission. A callout explains that with the transmission in REVERSE, the MLP sensor directs current to illuminate the backup lamps. Incoming circuits at the top include circuit 33 (W/PK, 12V in START) from the starting system (pages 20-2, 20-4), circuit 463 (R/W) from the all-wheel drive system (page 34-1), circuit 298 (P/O, 12V in RUN), and circuit 359 (GY/R) through connector C1012 from the E4OD (pages 30-1, 30-4) or 4R70W (page 29-4) transmission circuits. Outgoing circuits at the bottom include circuit 32 (R/LB, 12V in Park or Neutral) to the starting system, circuit 57 (BK, 0V/ground) to the all-wheel drive system, circuit 140 (BK/PK, 12V in REVERSE) feeding the backup lamps, and circuit 199 (LB/Y) through C1012 back to the transmission circuits. The MLP sensor switch contacts for P, R, N, and D positions are illustrated, with a note referencing page 149-10 for switch testing. Readers can learn circuit numbers, wire colors, expected voltages by gear position, and cross-referenced pages for related systems.
