1 5.0L SEFI EEC IV TESTING 1987 Lincoln Mark VII 1987 Computerized Engine Controls FORD MOTOR CO. EEC IV DIAGNOSIS & TESTING 5.0L SEFI DIAGNOSIS & TESTING DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE This diagnostic procedure is used to test and service the EEC-IV system. It is divided into 2 test formats: QUICK TEST, a functional system test, and CIRCUIT TESTS, a number of specific circuit and component tests. To test and service EEC-IV system, perform the QUICK TEST first. If vehicle passes KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO), KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER), and CONTINUOUS SELF-TESTS of QUICK TEST without running any CIRCUIT TESTS, the EEC-IV system is okay. Problem exists somewhere else besides the EEC-IV system. If QUICK TEST fails, perform only those tests that are specified by the failed step. TEST CONNECTOR LOCATIONS All Mustang models have SELF-TEST connector on left rear corner of engine compartment. On Continental and Mark VII models, the SELF-TEST connector is on the right side of the engine compartment, near firewall. The Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Town Car, have the SELF-TEST connector on left fender apron, above wheelwell (near fuel pump relay). PREPARATION FOR TESTING Correct test results for system are dependent on the correct operation of several related non-eec components and systems. All non- EEC problems should be corrected before attempting to diagnose the EEC system. Before hooking up any equipment to diagnose the EEC system, make the following checks: * Verify condition of air cleaner and air ducting. * Check all vacuum hoses for leaks, restrictions, and proper routing. * Check the EEC-IV system wiring harness electrical connections for corrosion, bent or broken pins, loose wires or terminals, and proper routing. * Check the ECA, sensors and actuators for physical damage. * Perform all necessary safety precautions to prevent personal injury or vehicle damage. * Set parking brake and place shift lever in "P" for automatic transmissions, and Neutral for manual transmissions. DO NOT move shift lever during testing unless specifically directed to do so. * Turn off all lights and accessories, and make sure that vehicle doors are closed when making voltage or resistance readings. * Check and correct coolant level.

2 * Start engine and idle until upper radiator hose is hot and pressurized and throttle is off fast idle. Check for leaks around exhaust manifold, exhaust gas oxygen sensor, and vacuum hose connections. * Turn ignition key off. Service items as required, then go to EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP. NOTE: If engine will not start, starts but stalls, idles rough or runs rough, go through KEY ON/ENGINE OFF SELF-TEST (KOEO). If any of the above conditions are still present after a code 11 in the KOEO SELF-TEST, go to CIRCUIT TEST A for a no start condition. If engine stalls or runs rough, go to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST. EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP Analog Volt/Ohm Meter (VOM) 1) Turn ignition key off. Connect jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to pin No. 2 (Signal Return) on SELF-TEST connector. Set VOM at 0-15V DC range and connect positive lead of VOM to positive battery terminal. 2) Connect negative VOM lead to pin No. 4 (STO) on SELF-TEST connector. See Fig. 1. Connect timing light, then go to KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST. STAR Tester Turn ignition key off. Connect color coded adapter cable leads to diagnostic tester. Connect adapter cable s 2 service connectors to vehicle s SELF-TEST connectors. Connect timing light, then go to KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST. NOTE: Diagnostic tester hook-up instructions apply to STAR tester only. If other than STAR tester is being used, follow diagnostic tester manufacturer s instructions.

3 The following equipment is recommended to diagnose and test EEC-IV system. Some equipment is REQUIRED to perform tests. DO NOT attempt to test this system without proper equipment. Damage to vehicle components will result if improper equipment is used. * The Self-Test Automatic Read-Out (STAR) Diagnostic Tester (Rotunda ) is recommended but not required. It is specially built for the EEC-IV system and is used to display, as numerals, the 2-digit service codes that are programmed into the control module. * Analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM) with 0-20V DC range. This can be used as an alternate to diagnostic tester. * Digital Volt/Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megaohm input impedance. * Breakout Box (Rotunda ). This is a jumper wire assembly which connects between the vehicle harness and the ECA. The breakout box is REQUIRED to perform certain tests on the system. Ford Motor Co. specifically states that using the probe from a DVOM will cause PERMANENT DAMAGE to the ECA 60- pin connector. "Test Pin(s) No." as called out in CIRCUIT TESTS refers to test pin number(s) on breakout box. Once the breakout box has been installed during a test sequence, it may be left connected for the remainder of the test. * Vacuum gauge with 0-30 in. Hg range and resolution (unit on scale) of 1 in. Hg. * Tachometer with RPM range, accuracy F 40 RPM, and a resolution of 20 RPM. * Vacuum pump with 0-30 in. Hg range. * Timing light. * Spark tester. A modified spark plug with side electrode removed and alligator clip attached may be used. * Fuel Injection Pressure Gauge (Part No. T80L-9974-A). * Non-powered, 12-volt test lamp. * Jumper wire, about 15" long. * MAP/BP Tester. Unit plugs into MAP/BP sensor circuit and DVOM to check input and output voltages to verify correct sensor operation. NOTE: STAR diagnostic tester is available from Hikok Electrical Instrument Co., Dupont Ave., Cleveland, OH READING SELF-TEST CODES Service codes are transmitted to Pin No. 4 (Self-Test Output) of SELF-TEST connector in the form of timed pulses. All service codes are 2 digit numbers which are generated one digit at a time. Codes are shown as voltage pulses (needle sweeps) on an analog volt/ohmmeter (VOM). If a VOM is being used, careful attention to the length of the pauses is necessary in order to read the codes correctly. There will be a 2 second pause between each DIGIT in a code. There will be a 4 second pause between each CODE. The continuous memory codes are separated from the functional test service codes by a 6 second delay, a single 1/2 second sweep, and another 6 second delay. If a diagnostic tester is used, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. The STAR tester will add a zero (0) to single digit (Separator and Dynamic Response) codes.

4 Separator Pulse A single 1/2 second separator pulse is issued 6-9 seconds after last functional KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST code. Then 6-9 seconds after the single 1/2 second separator pulse, the continuous memory codes will be displayed. Continuous Memory Codes These codes are issued as a result of information stored during CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST. These codes are displayed only during KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST and after separator code. These codes should be used to diagnose ONLY when (KOEO) and KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TESTS result in code 11 and all QUICK TEST steps have been successfully completed. QUICK TESTS The QUICK TEST diagnostic procedure is a functional test of the EEC-IV system. It consists of 4 basic test steps. These basic steps must be carefully followed in sequence, otherwise misdiagnosis, or replacement of non-faulty components may result. Perform QUICK TEST as follows: perform PREPARATION and EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP steps, KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST, TIMING CHECK, KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST, and CONTINUOUS SELF- TEST. After all tests, servicing, or repairs have been completed, repeat QUICK TEST to ensure EEC-IV system works properly. * The KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST is a static check of the EEC-IV system inputs and outputs. The TIMING CHECK verifies the systems ability to compute and maintain a fixed spark timing during SELF-TEST. * The KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST is a dynamic system check with the engine under actual operating conditions and at normal operating temperature. The CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST checks the sensor inputs for opens and shorts while the vehicle is in operation. * The KEY ON/ENGINE OFF and KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING SELF-TESTS are intended to detect faults present at the time of testing, not intermittent faults. Intermittent faults are detected by CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST. KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST NOTE: Continuous memory codes recorded in this step will be used for diagnosis in CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST. Code Output Correct test results for system are dependent on the correct operation of several related non-eec components and systems. It may be necessary to correct faults in these areas before EEC-IV will pass QUICK TEST. Verify that vehicle has been properly prepared. See PREPARATION and EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP. Turn ignition on to start SELF- TEST. DO NOT depress throttle during test. Observe and record all service codes. 1) If engine does not start, go to CIRCUIT TEST A, step 1). If KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) code and continuous memory indicate a pass (code 11), go to TIMING CHECK. 2) If any KOEO code is displayed with continuous memory code 11, KOEO SELF-TEST indicates a fault. Record codes and go to TEST RESULTS & ACTION TO TAKE in this test. 3) If any (KOEO) or any continuous memory code is displayed, (KOEO) SELF-TEST and continuous memory indicate a fault. Record codes,

5 but DO NOT repair continuous memory codes at this time. All (KOEO) and KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST codes MUST be repaired first. Go to TEST RESULTS & ACTION TO TAKE in this test. 4) If (KOEO) code 11 displayed with ANY continuous memory code (except 15), continuous memory indicates a fault. Record codes, but DO NOT repair continuous memory codes at this time. (KOEO) and (KOER) SELF-TEST codes MUST be repaired first. Go to TIMING CHECK. If engine idles rough, go to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST. 5) If (KOEO) code 11 is displayed and continuous memory code is 15, go to CIRCUIT TEST PP, step 9). If no codes are displayed, repeat SELF-TEST to verify that no service codes are present. If codes are not displayed, go to CIRCUIT TEST PP, step 1). Test Results & Action To Take 1) Perform the test indicated in the KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST table for that specific engine. Start with the first code displayed. If the tests refer you to other checks, perform them as instructed. 2) When more than one code is displayed, repair problems in the order that codes are displayed. Whenever a repair is made, repeat QUICK TEST. If no codes are displayed, repeat SELF-TEST to verify that no service codes are present, and then go to CIRCUIT TEST PP, step 1). NOTE: See CIRCUIT TESTS at back of article.

If engine starts but stalls while testing, go to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST.

6 1) Turn ignition key off, and then wait 10 seconds. Verify that SELF-TEST has been activated. Restart engine and check timing while in SELF-TEST mode. You are allowed 2 minutes to check timing from the time the last code is displayed. 2) Correct SELF-TEST timing equals base ignition timing (10 BTDC on all engines) plus BTDC. If timing is not BTDC, go to CIRCUIT TEST OO. If timing is BTDC, go to KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST. KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST NOTE: If engine will not start, go to TEST A. If engine starts but stalls while testing, go to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST. Code Output 1) Deactivate SELF-TEST (disconnect jumper wire). Start engine and run it at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes to warm up HEGO sensor. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds 2) Start engine. Insert jumper to activate SELF-TEST. The engine ID code will be displayed. 3) If a Dynamic Response code occurs, briefly accelerate engine to wide open throttle (WOT). DO NOT depress throttle during test unless a Dynamic Response code occurs. The KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST service codes will then be displayed. Observe and record all codes. NOTE: On the 5.0L SEFI engine a service code 98 may appear instead of the engine ID code, indicating the need to obtain a code 11 for the KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST portion of the QUICK TEST. Test Results & Action To Take 1) If no codes are displayed, repeat SELF-TEST to verify that no service codes are present, and then go to CIRCUIT TEST PP, step 1). If code 98 and any other code appears, go back and perform KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST and obtain a code 11 for (KOEO) portion of QUICK TEST. 2) If Engine ID code is 2, 3 or 4 (20, 30 or 40 with STAR tester), and code 11 is displayed, KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF- TEST portion is okay. If symptom was of an intermittent nature, go to CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST. If symptom is present, go to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST. 3) If Engine ID code is 2, 3 or 4 (20, 30 or 40 with STAR tester), and any code other than 11 appears, (KOER) SELF-TEST portion is at fault. Perform the test indicated in the (KOER) SELF-TEST table for that specific engine. 4) Start with the first code displayed. If the tests refer you to other checks, perform them as instructed. When more than one code is displayed, repair problems in the order that codes are displayed. Whenever a repair is made repeat QUICK TEST.

(2) - Idle Speed Control (ISC) has not "learned" yet, repeat QUICK TEST. CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST NOTE: CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST is subdivided into 4 steps: CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES, CLEARING CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES, CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES TO BE TESTED, and CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE TEST). Perform steps in sequence. Continuous Memory Codes 1) To ensure proper diagnosis of continuous memory codes, PREPARATION, EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP, KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST, TIMING CHECK, and KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST must be successfully completed. If both (KOEO) and (KOER) SELF-TEST display code 11 (Pass), go to CLEARING CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES. 2) If not, return to PREPARATION step and make the necessary repairs indicated in (KOEO) and (KOER) SELF-TEST before going to CLEARING CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES. Clearing Continuous Memory Codes Perform KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST. When the first service code appears, exit SELF-TEST by disconnecting diagnostic tester or by removing jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail. Exiting QUICK TEST in this manner will clear all codes stored in continuous memory. Continuous Memory Codes To Be Tested Check list of Continuous Memory codes that were recorded in KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) and KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TESTS. Disregard any codes that have already been repaired. To confirm remaining codes, go to CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST. Continuous Monitor (Wiggle) Test The Self-Test Output (STO) will be activated each time a fault is detected. If the STO is activated long enough during the wiggle tests a service code will be stored. A fault is indicated by a deflection on VOM. The STAR tester LED will flash and/or sound an alert signal when fault is recreated. The CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST is used to attempt to recreate an intermittent fault.

8 * KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) Test: With SELF-TEST deactivated, turn ignition on to enter into wiggle test mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness (in short sections). If a fault is detected, a service code will be stored in memory and will be indicated by VOM or diagnostic tester. Retrieve code and perform test indicated in CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST table. * KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) Test: Start engine. Activate SELF-TEST, wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate SELF-TEST. DO NOT turn engine off. You are now in KOER wiggle test mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness (in short sections). If a fault is detected, a service code will be stored in memory and will be indicated by VOM or diagnostic tester. Retrieve code and perform test indicated in CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST table. NOTE: An alternate method of entering CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST with engine running is to start KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST, exit, and re-enter KOER SELF-TEST without turning off engine. If alternate method is being used, perform the following steps. 1) Observe VOM while moving, wiggling, and tapping system harness (in short sections), connectors, and sensors. If an intermittent condition is created, the monitor will indicate this by storing a service code. Carefully inspect harness and associated connectors of affected circuits. 2) If an intermittent condition is not created, carefully disconnect sensor from harness. Remove terminals from connector and visually inspect terminals at both ends for corrosion, bad crimps, improperly seated terminals, etc. 3) Reconnect harness after inspection. Disconnect ECA from harness as carefully as possible. Remove and inspect terminals associated with sensor being checked. 4) If an intermittent condition cannot be created, plug-in connector and erase the CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST service codes. To erase service codes, activate KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST. 5) Remove jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) terminal as soon as first code appears. Repeat SELF-TEST with jumper to verify that service codes have been erased. QUICK TEST is complete.

9 63... J (15) E (10) QUICK TEST DIAGNOSTIC AIDS Cylinder Balance Test The cylinder balance test is an aid in servicing the 5.0L SEFI fuel system by energizing and de-energizing each injector separately. This test mode is entered after all codes have been displayed. Immediately following the KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST, lightly depress throttle (a 2-3 degree throttle angle is required, NOT a wide open throttle). Service codes displayed during this test correspond to cylinder number. CYLINDER BALANCE TEST SERVICE CODES TABLE Service Cylinder/ Breakout Box Code Injector No. Test Pin No Pass... Pass Retest... Retest If code 90 is displayed during this test it indicates a pass. If code 77 is displayed, repeat cylinder balance test. If throttle is moved during this test, service code 77 will appear, indicating that test was not completed. Total test time is about 90 seconds. Dynamic Response Check The dynamic response check verifies movement of the TPS, and MAP sensor during the wide open throttle (WOT) part of the KEY ON/ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST. The signal to perform WOT is a single pulse (one) when using VOM or code 10 on STAR tester. Output State Check The Output State Check is used as an aid in servicing output actuators associated with the EEC-IV system. It allows you to energize and de-energize most of the system output actuators on and off on command. This mode is entered after all codes have been received from KEY ON/ENGINE OFF (KOEO) and CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST. At this time, leave SELF-TEST activated and depress throttle. Each time throttle is depressed, the output actuators will change state (go from on to off, or off to on). DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST The DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST is divided into specific engine sections. Each section will describe testing procedures and codes for that engine. Use appropriate DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM TEST. The CIRCUIT TESTS are common to all engines, unless noted in test procedures. 5.0L SEFI

10 Use this test procedure ONLY when directed to do so by results of QUICK TEST or steps in CIRCUIT TESTS. Follow test procedure carefully. 1) When engine stalls in operation, misfires, lacks power, idles roughly, or has erratic RPM, perform the following checks: * Check for, and repair, any bad ground or power connections. * Check ignition components (cap, rotor, wires, coil and plugs). * Check basic engine components (valves, cam timing, compression, etc.). * Perform SYSTEM CHECK, ISC Check, MAP Check, and EGR Check. Use CIRCUIT TEST QQ, steps 1), 2), and 3). * Perform CYLINDER BALANCE TEST. See QUICK TEST DIAGNOSTIC AIDS in this article. 2) If fuel pump is always on (noise coming from rear of vehicle with key off), go to CIRCUIT TEST Y, step 12). 3) If shift indicator light is always on or off, go to CIRCUIT TEST FF, step 1). 4) If engine idle speed is low with A/C on, go to CIRCUIT TEST O, step 9). 5) If A/C does not cut-off during wide open throttle (WOT), go to CIRCUIT TEST GG, step 1). 6) If detonation (engine knock) occurs due to improper EGR valve function, check EGR and/or exhaust gas recirculation system. 7) If engine stalls during QUICK TEST due to faulty Idle Speed Control (ISC) operation, go to CIRCUIT TEST DD, step 4). 8) If gasoline fumes accumulate in engine compartment, go to CIRCUIT TEST CC, step 1).

16 1) DO NOT perform any CIRCUIT TEST unless told to do so by QUICK TEST. Make sure all non-eec related faults are corrected. Do not replace any part unless directed to do so. When more than one service code is received, start with the first code displayed. NOTE: Procedures in the TESTING section of this article are not in absolute numerical order. Procedures not related to this engine have been removed to eliminate confusion. 2) Do not measure voltage or resistance at ECA or connect any test lamps to it, unless specified. All measurements are made by probing REAR of connector. Isolate both ends of a circuit and turn key off whenever checking for shorts or continuity, unless specified. 3) Disconnect solenoids and switches from harness before measuring continuity, resistance, or applying 12 volts. Follow each test step in order until fault is found. After each repair, check all component connections and repeat CIRCUIT TEST(S). 4) An "open" is defined as any resistance reading higher than 5 ohms, unless specified in CIRCUIT TEST. A "short" is defined as any resistance reading less than 10,000 ohms to ground, unless specified in CIRCUIT TEST. 5) On FUEL CONTROL CIRCUIT TESTS S, T, U, V, W and X, to prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-eec related areas may also be at fault. These areas include ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires, fouled spark plugs, CNAP problems, EGR valve and gasket, air filter, poor power and ground circuits, fuel pressure, intake and exhaust manifold leaks, engine not at normal operating temperature, and problems with PCV valves or fuel contaminated engine oil. NOTE: Fuel contaminated engine oil may affect some service codes. If this is suspected, remove PCV valve from valve cover and repeat QUICK TEST. If problem is corrected, change engine oil and filter. 6) On FUEL CONTROL CIRCUIT TESTS S, T, U, V, W and X, vacuum leaks in non-eec related areas may also cause code 41 or 91 to be displayed. Check for unmetered air between airflow meter and throttle body, leaking vacuum motors, engine seals, EGR system, PCV system, canister purge (CANP) problems, or contaminated HEGO sensor. Code 42 or 92 may be caused by fuel contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire, EGR system, or CANP problems. NOTE: In the following diagnostic charts, circuits and illustrations are supplied courtesy of Ford Motor Co. TEST A - NO START To prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-eec related areas may be at fault: fuel quantity and quality, ignition system damage, cracks, moisture, etc., engine mechanical conditions such as bad valves, timing belt, etc. Also included are starter and battery circuit problems. 1) Try to start engine. If engine does not crank, check vehicle starting and charging systems. If engine cranks, but does not start or else stalls after starting, go to next step. 2) Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale and disconnect Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Turn key on, leaving engine off. Measure voltage at TPS harness connector between voltage reference (VREF) and signal return. If reading is less than 4. 0 volts or more than 6.0 volts, go to CIRCUIT TEST C, step 1). If reading is between 4.0 and 6.0 volts, reconnect TPS and go to next

17 step. 3) Disconnect any spark plug wire and connect spark tester between plug wire and engine ground. Crank engine and check for spark. If spark exists, connect spark plug wire and go to step 13). If there is no spark, connect spark plug wire and go to next step. 4) Remove high tension coil wire from distributor and install spark tester. Check for spark while cranking engine. If spark exists, connect coil wire and service or repair TFI ignition system. If there is no spark, connect coil wire and go to next step. 5) Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale and disconnect TFI. Measure resistance between test pin No. 16 and TFI harness connector ignition ground. If reading is more than 5 ohms, repair harness and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. 6) With breakout box installed and box timing switch on "DISTRIBUTOR" position, connect TFI and ECA. Try to start vehicle. If vehicle starts, go to step 10). If vehicle does not start, go to next step. 7) Move breakout box timing switch to "COMPUTED" position. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale and measure voltage between test pin No. 36 and chassis ground while cranking engine. If voltage is between 3.0 and 6.0 volts, EEC system is NOT at fault. TFI ignition system should be diagnosed. If voltage is less than 3.0 volts or more than 6.0 volts, go to next step. 8) Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. With breakout box installed, disconnect ECA and TFI. Set DVOM on 200,000-ohm scale and measure resistance between test pin No. 36 and test pins No. 16, 20, 26, 40, and 60 for short to ground. Measure resistance between test pin No. 36 and test pins No. 37 and 57 for short to power. Measure resistance between test pins No. 36 and 56 for short to PIP. If any reading is less than 10,000 ohms, repair short in harness and repeat QUICK TEST. If engine still does not start, go to next step. If all readings are 10,000 ohms or higher, go to next step. 9) Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. With breakout box installed, connect ECA, but leave TFI disconnected. Set DVOM on 200- ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 36 and test pins No. 37 and 57 for short to power. Measure resistance between test pin No. 36 and test pins No. 40 and 60 for short to ground. If any reading is less than 5 ohms, replace ECA and repeat QUICK TEST. If all readings are 5 ohms or higher, connect TFI and go to next step. 10) With breakout box installed and DVOM on 20-volt scale, measure voltage between test pins No. 56 and 16, while cranking engine. If reading is between 3.0 and 6.0 volts, remove breakout box. Replace ECA and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is less than 3.0 volts or higher than 6.0 volts, go to next step. 11) Install breakout box, turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Disconnect TFI and ECA. Measure resistance between test pin No. 56 and TFI connector PIP circuit. If reading is 5 ohms or more, repair open PIP circuit and repeat QUICK TEST. If readings is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. 12) With breakout box installed and ECA disconnected, turn key off. Disconnect TFI connector and set DVOM on 200,000-ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 56 and test pins No. 16, 20, 26, 40, and 60 for short to ground. Measure resistance between test pin No. 56 and test pins No. 37 and 57 for short to power. Measure resistance between test pin No. 56 and test pin No. 36 for short to Spark Output (SPOUT). If any reading is less than 10,000 ohms, repair PIP circuit and repeat QUICK TEST. If all readings are higher than 10, 000 ohms, diagnose TFI ignition system. 13) Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector and inspect for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Repair as necessary. Install breakout box and connect ECA. Make sure

18 that box timing switch is in "COMPUTED" position. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale and measure voltage between test pin No. 36 and chassis ground while cranking engine. If reading is between 3.0 and 6.0 volts, go to next step. If reading is less than 3.0 volts or higher than 6.0 volts on all engines, go to step 10). 14) Fuel Pump Check Connect pressure gauge to vehicle. Note initial pressure reading, then pressurize fuel system by turning key on for one second, turning key off, and then waiting 10 seconds. Repeat on, off, and wait sequence 5 times. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. If pressure increased, go to CIRCUIT TEST QQ, step 1). If pressure did not increase, go to next step. 15) Inertia Switch Check Turn key off. Install fuel pressure gauge. Locate fuel pump inertia switch and push button on switch to reset it to on. If switch will not reset to on, replace inertia switch and repeat step 14). If switch button was already on, go to CIRCUIT TEST Y, step 1). Observe pressure gauge as system is pressurized as in step 14). If pressure reading increases, repeat QUICK TEST. If pressure reading does not increase, go to CIRCUIT TEST Y, step 1). Fig. 7: TFI Module Circuits TEST B - VEHICLE BATTERY To prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-eec related areas may be at fault: battery cables and ground straps, voltage regulator, alternator, ignition switch. 1) Turn key on, leaving engine off. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale and measure voltage across battery terminals. If reading is less than 10.5 volts, service or replace discharged battery. If reading is 10.5 volts or higher, go to next step. 2) Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Install breakout box, but leave ECA connected. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale and measure resistance between test pin No. 40 and negative post on battery. Also measure resistance between test pin No. 60 and negative post on battery. If readings are greater than 5 ohms, repair cause of resistance in circuit(s). Repeat QUICK TEST. If both readings are less

19 than 5 ohms, go to next step. 3) With breakout box installed and ECA connected, turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale.
