Replying to: ms_jetset (Nov 01, 2007 9:43 am) A few simple thAngs for now (been away for a week): Check fluid level and condition; after engine reaches normal op temp. Have a Check Engine Light on? get it scanned or DIY Self Test & Connector Location & pics, Bronco & Ford BEST PROCESS WITH DIAGRAMS! Source: by Ryan M http://fordfuelinjection.com/?p=13 do self test anyway; some faults do Not light the CEL since, "Don’t worry if the Check Engine Light is not on, the computer will store lesser important codes without flashing lights in your face." and; A technician that is unfamiliar with the EEC Self-Test can mistakenly believe that continuous Memory codes are not present when they really are. He may run KOER Self-Test and get a pass code (111) and not realize that KOEO Self-Test must be run to receive any Continuous Memory codes. He may run KOEO Self-Test while counting MIL flashes and misinterpret the repeated hard fault pass code (111) to mean that Continuous Memory does not contain any codes.

Source: by Ford via miesk5 -- from our Owner's Guide; "The E4OD and 4R70W transmissions are electronically controlled four speed automatic transmissions with overdrive. Transmission operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM will automatically adjust transmission operation to make up for varying conditions. Several sensors located on the engine and transmission such as Throttle Position, Engine Speed, Vehicle Speed and Transmission Temperature are used by the PCM to shift the transmission into a higher or lower gear when required for the best performance and fuel economy. For example, you may notice that the transmission will upshift to a higher gear more quickly when the vehicle is first driven and has not reached normal operating temperature.The PCM also controls the transmission’s Torque Converter Clutch to further raise vehicle performance and fuel economy. The Torque Converter Clutch will engage when the transmission operating temperature and other conditions determined by the PCM have been met. Engagement of the clutch may be noted as a decrease in engine speed after an upshift has completed or when the driver has depressed the throttle while driving at a steady road speed. To help in troubleshooting, the PCM continually performs self-tests on the electronic control system and if any faults are detected, will store them in memory. The Transmission Control Indicator Light (TCIL), which is located on the gearshift lever, may flash steadily if a malfunction has been detected..."

Replying to: gator07 (Nov 15, 2007 3:46 pm) Do you have a check engine Light on? if so, post the Codes here for another reply. DIY Self Test & Connector Location & pics, Bronco & Ford BEST PROCESS WITH DIAGRAMS! Source: by Ryan M http://fordfuelinjection.com/?p=13 btw, A technician that is unfamiliar with the EEC Self-Test can mistakenly believe that continuous Memory codes are not present when they really are. He may run KOER Self-Test and get a pass code (111) and not realize that KOEO Self-Test must be run to receive any Continuous Memory codes. He may run KOEO Self-Test while counting MIL flashes and misinterpret the repeated hard fault pass code (111) to mean that Continuous Memory does not contain any codes. The engine temperature must be greater than 50°F (10°C) to pass the KOEO Self-Test and greater than 180°F (82°C) to pass the KOER Self-Test. To accomplish this, the engine should be at normal operating temperature One possibility is; Ford TFI Ignition Module; this is a good guess... but do the Self Test for Codes. Has that TFI Module been replaced Free under the recall? If you do not know, go to a Ford dealer and ask them to check using the VIN Code. or, DIY by registering at Ford and look to see what recalls are outstanding, plus; Owner Guides (Manuals), Bronco/Ford truck & other Ford vehicles, free, download Source: by Ford https://myford.fordvehicles.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=MyFord/Registrati- on/LogOnPage&BackToLogin=MyFord%2FHome%2FHomePage%26ord%3D15419550 Ford TFI Ignition Recall - the judge's order affected Fords manufactured between 1985 and 1995. http://www.summitlake.com/COMMENTARY/Ford_Ignitions.html?reload_coolmenus

Replying to: gator07 (Nov 20, 2007 12:40 pm) OK, do that self-test anyway; some codes may be stored w/out lighting the CEL ABS; & do a self-test too here; The 4WABS connectors is red, & is under the hood right beside the engine test connector 4WABS System Component Locations, DTCs & Self Test & Connector Diagram; 93-96 Source: by Steve83 http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/media/255501_1 ABS Self test connector location; ABS (RABS II) Self Test , Diagnostic Connector Location, (title in article is wrong in article) Source: by autorepair.about.com http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl180d.htm GL! |
