What fuse powers the MIL/engine control circuit on the 5.8L?

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

What wire color feeds the Malfunction Indicator Lamp?

Circuit 640 R/Y (red/yellow) feeds the MIL through connector C250; circuit 658 PK/LG (pink/light green) runs from the MIL through C251, C202, and the VIP Data Link Connector (C198) to PCM pin 17.

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

On manual transmissions, the CPP switch prevents engine startup with the clutch pedal released. E4OD and C6 automatic transmissions use a CPP switch jumper instead.

Why does the check engine light stay on?

Per the diagram note, 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 turns the indicator on.

What circuits connect the CPP switch to the PCM?

Circuit 480 P/Y carries 12V (START) to the CPP switch/jumper at C261, and circuit 481 GY/Y returns through C202 and C185 to PCM pin 30 (without E4OD).

This is page 25-5 of a Ford wiring diagram set covering Engine Controls for the 5.8L engine. It shows the circuit from the fuse panel (fuse 17, 10A, hot in start or run) through circuit 640 R/Y and splice S215 to the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in the instrument cluster, then via circuit 658 PK/LG through connectors C251, C202, and C198 (VIP Data Link Connector) to pin 17 of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). A note explains the MIL lights with the ignition in ON prior to cranking and stays on if the PCM detects a fault. The right side shows the ignition switch (hot at all times) feeding circuit 32 R/LB toward the starting system, with a 5.8L Lightning-only branch, and circuit 480 P/Y through splice S224 to the Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) circuit. Three variants are shown: E4OD transmission and C6 transmission use a CPP switch jumper, while manual transmissions use an actual CPP switch that prevents engine startup with the clutch pedal released. Circuit 481 GY/Y returns to PCM pin 30 (without E4OD) via connectors C202 and C185. Air conditioner/heater circuits 883 PK/LB and 348 P connect to PCM pins 10 and 43. Cross-references cite pages 13-3, 13-9, 13-16, 20-1, 54-2, 60-3, and 149-2.
