NOTE:
Powertrain calibration information is limited to a maximum of five characters per line on the
Vehicle Certification Label. Because of this, calibration identification consisting of more than five
characters will wrap to the second line on the VC label.
Powertrain calibration information is printed in the lower right corner of the Vehicle Certification Label.
Only the base calibration information is printed. Revision levels will not appear, however, this
information can be found in the On Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS). For the
current model year, Ford Motor Company is using three different protocols which describe powertrain
base calibration. These protocols are designed to provide worldwide standardization for vehicle
calibration. If the electronic calibration strategy has been used since 1998 and carried into the current
model year, protocol 1 will be used. Refer to Protocol 1 below. If the electronic calibration strategy has
been used since 1999 and is carried into the current model year, protocol 2 will be used. Refer to
Protocol 2 below. For new electronic calibration strategies introduced since the 2000 model year, use
protocol 3. Refer to Protocol 3 below.

WOT
The acronym for wide open throttle is WOT.
Tools and Techniques
Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The EVA is a hand-
held electronic diagnostic tool which will assist in locating the source of
unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the three most common vibration frequencies and their
corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative
signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G force. The keypad is
arranged to make the EVA simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to
average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe balancing
function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a driveshaft or engine
accessories.
The EVA allows for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose and
repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel. „If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of
the vehicle.
„ A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline,
drive axle or rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins, when it reaches maximum intensity, and if it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
„Frequencies should be read in the "average" mode. Item Description

„
Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2. A reading of 10 Hz can be displayed as an
8 Hz through 12 Hz.
d. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
e. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another reading.
f. Compare the readings.
„A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
„ An unmatched test could indicate the concern is caused by the engine, torque converter,
or engine accessory. Use the EVA in the rpm mode and check if concern is rpm related.
„ Example: A vibration is felt in the seat. Place the sensor on the console. Record the
readings. Place the vibration sensor on the rear axle. Compare the readings. If the
frequencies are the same, the axle is the problem component.
Vibrate Software®
Vibrate Software® ( Rotunda tool number 215- 00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in pinpointing
the source of unacceptable vibrations. The engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration
diagnosis. Every rotating component will have an angular velocity that is faster, slower, or the same as
the engine's crankshaft. Vibrate Software® calculates the angular velocity of each component and
graphically represents these velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet.
The following steps outline how Vibrate Software® helps diagnose a vibration concern:
zEnter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing
tire, driveshaft and engine vibrations.
z Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
z Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency (rpm) and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency (rpm) reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the concern.
„An EVA or equivalent tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will
be needed.
z Provide pictures of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
Combination EngineEAR/ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while
the vehicle is being road tested. The ChassisEARs can identify the noise and location of
damaged/worn wheel bearings, CV joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier bearings.
EngineEAR Basic Unit
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect the
noise of damaged/worn bearings in generators, water pumps, A/C compressors and power steering
pumps. They are also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear teeth and for
detecting wind noise. The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier, and headphones. The directional
sensing tip is used to listen to the various components. Point the sensing tip at the suspect component
and adjust the volume with the amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a component will reveal
structure-borne noise and vibrations, generated by or passing through, the component. Various
volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas where
there is weather- stripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks, vacuum leaks Klj . 12 ba

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Evaporative Emission Repair Verification Drive Cycle
Drive Cycle Recommendations
NOTE:
The following procedure is designed to execute and complete the evaporative emission repair
verification drive cycle and to clear the Ford P1000, inspection and maintenance (I/M) readiness code.
When the ambient air temperature is below 4.4°C (40°F) or above 37.8°C (100°F), or the altitude is
above 2,438 meters (8,000 feet), the EVAP monitor will not run. If the P1000 must be cleared in these
conditions, the powertrain control module (PCM) must detect them once (twice on some applications)
before the EVAP monitor can be bypassed and the P1000 cleared. The EVAP bypassing procedure is
described in the following drive cycle.
1. Most OBD II monitors will complete more readily using a steady foot driving style during cruise or acceleration modes. Operating the throttle in a smooth fashion will minimize the time
necessary for monitor completion.
2. Fuel tank level should be between one- half and three-quarters full with three- quarters full being
the most desirable.
3. The evaporative monitor can only operate during the first 30 minutes of engine operation. When executing the procedure for this monitor, stay in part throttle mode and drive in a smooth
fashion to minimize fuel slosh.
Drive Cycle Preparation
NOTE: For best results, follow each of the following steps as accurately as possible.
4. NOTE: This step bypasses the engine soak timer and resets OBD II monitor status.
Install the scan tool. Turn the key ON with the engine OFF. Cycle the key off, then on. Select
the appropriate vehicle and engine qualifier. Clear all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and carry
out a PCM reset.
5. Begin to monitor the following PIDs: ECT, EVAPDC, FLI (if available) and TP MODE. Press Diagnostic Data Link, PCM, PID/Data monitor and record, press trigger to select each PID, then
start.
6. Start the engine without returning the key to the OFF position.
Preparation for Monitor Entry
WARNING: Strict observance of posted speed limits and attention to driving conditions

are mandatory when proceeding through the following drive cycle.
7. NOTE: This step allows engine warm- up and provides intake air temperature (IAT) input to the
PCM.
Idle the vehicle for 15 seconds. Drive at 64 km/h (40 mph) until the ECT is at least 76.7°C (170°
F).
8. Is IAT above 4.4°C (40°F) and below 37.8°C (100°F)? If not, continue with the following steps but note that the EVAP Monitor Bypass portion of the drive cycle (Step 13) will be required to
bypass the EVAP monitor and clear the P1000.
9. NOTE: This step executes the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) monitor.
Cruise at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 60 seconds.
10. NOTE: This executes the EVAP monitor if IAT is above 4.4°C (40°F) and below 37.8°C (100°F).
NOTE: To initiate the monitor, TP MODE should equal PT, EVAPDC must be greater than 75%,
and FLI must be between 15 and 85%.
NOTE: Avoid sharp turns and hills.
Cruise at 72 to 104 km/h (45 to 65 mph) for 10 minutes.
11. NOTE: This step executes the ISC portion of the Secondary Air/CCM.
Bring the vehicle to a stop. Idle with the transmission in DRIVE (for automatic transmission) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) for two minutes.
Pending Code and EVAP Monitor Bypass Check
12. NOTE: This determines if a pending code is preventing the clearing of P1000.
NOTE: If the EVAP monitor is not complete and IAT was below 4.4°C (40°F) or above 37.8°C
(100°F) temperature range in Step 8, or the altitude is above 2,438 meters (8,000 feet), the
EVAP Monitor Bypass (Step 13) must be carried out.
Using the scan tool, check for pending codes. Conduct normal repair procedures for any
pending code concerns. Rerun any incomplete monitor.
EVAP Monitor Bypass
13. NOTE: This allows the bypass counter to increment to two.
NOTE: Do not repeat Step 4.
Park the vehicle for a minimum of eight hours. Repeat Steps 5 through 12. Klj . 2 ba
