Which fuse powers the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) circuit on the 5.8L?

Fuse 17, a 10A fuse in the fuse panel (hot in start or run), per pages 13-3 and 13-9.

What wire color and circuit number goes from the MIL to the PCM?

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

What does the Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch do on manual transmission trucks?

It prevents engine startup with the clutch pedal released; when the switch is closed, 12V passes on circuit 481 GY/Y to the PCM.

When does the MIL indicator light up?

The indicator 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 will turn the indicator on.

How do E4OD and C6 automatic transmissions handle the CPP switch circuit?

Both use a CPP switch jumper at connector C261 instead of an actual switch; on E4OD the 481 GY/Y output at C202 is marked 'NOT USED', while on C6 it continues to PCM pin 30.

This document is page 25-5 of a Ford wiring diagram set covering Engine Controls for the 5.8L engine. It shows the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) circuit and the clutch pedal position (CPP)/start circuit feeding the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Power comes from fuse panel fuse 17 (10A, hot in start or run) through circuit 640 (R/Y) via splice S215 and connector C250 to the MIL in the instrument cluster, then through circuit 658 (PK/LG), connectors C251, C202, and the VIP Data Link Connector C198 to PCM pin 17. From the ignition switch (hot at all times), a start signal passes through C269, with a note distinguishing 5.8L Lightning from all others, through circuits 32 (R/LB) and 480 (P/Y) via splice S224 to three transmission variants: E4OD (CPP switch jumper), manual transmission (CPP switch that prevents engine startup with clutch pedal released), and C6 (CPP switch jumper), all at connector C261. Circuit 481 (GY/Y) then runs through C202 and C185 to PCM pin 30 (without E4OD). Additional inputs from the air conditioner/heater arrive at PCM pins 10 (883 PK/LB) and 43 (348 P). Cross-references include pages 13-3, 13-9, 13-16, 20-1, 54-2, 60-3, and 149-2.
