Diagnostic Routines: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Diagnostics in this article assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices. Refer to Diagnostic Methods in Service Information for information about these practices.
NOTE:
Without a voltage signal return to the TCM, the transmission solenoid power control relay is commanded OFF. By using a fused jumper between a transmission solenoid control circuit and the signal return circuit, the transmission solenoid power control relay circuit supplies power to the transmission solenoids when the ignition is cycled from OFF to ON. Do not use a solenoid control circuit that may be at fault, refer to DTC Charts for a fault listing.
- Carry out OBD procedures KOEO and KOER self-test.
- Read and record all DTCs.
- Repair all non-transmission DTCs first.
- Repair all transmission DTCs second.
- Clear all CMDTCs and attempt to repeat them.
- Repair all CMDTCs.
- If only pass DTCs are obtained, refer to Component Tests for further information and diagnosis.
Follow the diagnostic sequence to diagnose and repair the concern the first time.
