Which fuse powers the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) circuit on the 4.9L?

Fuse panel position 17, a 10A fuse that is hot in START or RUN (fuse panel details on pages 13-3 and 13-9).

What wire runs from the MIL to the PCM?

Circuit 658 PK/LG (pink/light green), passing through connectors C251, C202, the VIP Data Link Connector, and C198 to PCM pin 17.

What does the Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch do?

On manual transmissions the CPP switch prevents vehicle start-up with the clutch engaged; E4OD and C6 automatic transmissions use a CPP switch jumper instead.

What wire colors are used in the start circuit to the PCM?

32 R/LB from the ignition switch, 480 P/Y to the CPP switch/jumper, and 481 G/Y from the switch to PCM pin 30 at connector C185.

When does the MIL light up according to this diagram?

It lights with the ignition switch in ON prior to cranking and goes off when the engine starts; if a fault develops in the engine control system, the PCM turns the indicator on.

This is page 23-6 of a Ford factory-style wiring diagram covering Engine Controls for the 4.9L engine. It shows two main circuits feeding the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The first circuit runs from a HOT IN START OR RUN fuse (fuse panel position 17, 10A, referencing pages 13-3, 13-9, and power distribution page 13-16) through wire 640 R/Y and splice S215 to connector C250, powering the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster (page 60-3), then continuing via wire 658 PK/LG through C251, C202, the VIP Data Link Connector, and C198 to PCM pin 17. A note explains the MIL lights with the ignition ON before cranking, goes off when the engine starts, and is turned on by the PCM if a fault develops. The second circuit runs from the ignition switch (HOT AT ALL TIMES, page 13-3) via wire 32 R/LB through C269 and splice S224 to wire 480 P/Y, then through the Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch or jumper — with separate branches shown for E4OD, manual, and C6 transmissions — via connectors C261 and wire 481 G/Y to PCM pin 30 (without E4OD) at connector C185. The manual transmission CPP switch prevents starting with the clutch engaged.
