DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. Additionally, when your vehicle is in for service or repair,
Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities
may access or share among them data for vehicle improvement purposes.
For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC® Vehicle
Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information may also
be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford authorized
service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be used for any
purpose. See theSYNC®chapter for more information.

Engine starting (with parking brake applied)
Safety and
emergency
equipmentBefore entering the cab, verify that the vehicle is
equipped with spare electrical fuses (if used),
three red reflective triangles, a properly charged
and rated fire extinguisher and wheel chocks.
Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps and
grab handles, inside and out (as well as behind),
are tight and clean. Use extreme caution and a
three-point stance at all times.
Inspect door latches for proper closing, latching
and locking.
Starting the
engineSet the parking brake. If starting a vehicle with a
manual transmission, press the clutch and verify
the transmission is in neutral. If starting a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, make sure the
gearshift lever is in positionNorP(if equipped
with a park position).
Diesel engine:Turn the key to the on position.
Turn the key to start when the wait to start
indicator light in the instrument cluster turns off.
Gasoline engine:Turn the key to start, and
then release it as soon as the engine starts.
Engine oil
pressureVerify pressure builds to normal operating range.
Low air pressure
warning tone (if
equipped with an
air compressor)A tone indicating low air pressure should sound
immediately after the engine starts but before the
compressor has built-up pressure. The tone
should stop when the air pressure reaches 70 psi
(483 kPa) (or more). Let the air pressure build
to governed cutout pressure, which should occur
between 115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).
AcceleratorPress the accelerator and verify that it operates
smoothly, without any binding or irregular feel.
Release the pedal and verify the engine returns
to idle speed immediately.
VoltmeterCheck the gauge (diesel engine) or indicator light
(gasoline engine) to verify the alternator is
charging.

Engine starting (with parking brake applied)
Steering linkage
free playInspect for excessive free play in the steering
linkages. The steering wheel should have less
than 2 inches (5 centimeters) of free play at its
rim.
Full power
hydraulic brake
inspectionPump the brake pedal several times with the
ignition in the off or run position. You can
momentarily hear the motor and pumps
replenishing the accumulators.
Parking brakeVerify the parking brake holds the vehicle by
gently trying to pull forward with the parking
brake applied.
Air brakesVerify operation using the following procedure.
Chock the wheels, if necessary. Push in the
parking brake and, on tractors, push in the
tractor parking brake knob:
1. Verify the air compressor or governor cutout
pressure is approximately 120 psi (827 kPa).
2. Turn off the engine, and then turn the key
back to the on position (without starting the
engine).
3. Without the brake pedal applied, note the air
pressure drop for one minute. It should be less
than 2 psi (14 kPa) for single vehicles and 3 psi
(21 kPa) for combination vehicles.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal with 90 psi
(621 kPa) or more. Make sure there is no more
than a 3–psi (21 kPa) per minute leak for single
vehicles and a 4–psi (28 kPa) per minute leak for
combination vehicles.
5. Pump the brake pedal to deplete the system of
air pressure. The warning light and tone should
turn on at 57 psi (393 kPa).
6. Pump the brake pedal and make sure the
parking brake and trailer parking brake knobs
pop out at 20 psi (138 kPa) or higher.
Automatic
transmission fluidVerify that the fluid level is in the proper
operating range. SeeTransmission fluid check
in theMaintenancechapter.

Trailer
If you are pulling a trailer, perform an inspection of the trailer similar to
that of the tractor. The inspection should follow trailer manufacturer
recommendations and should include at a minimum: general condition,
landing gear, doors, sides, lights, reflectors, suspension, brakes, tires,
wheels, cargo placement, stability and tie-downs.
Transmission
WARNING:If the unit starts in gear and/or the neutral start
switch is not functioning correctly, the vehicle may inadvertently
move which could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, regularly
inspect the transmission’s neutral start switch. The engine should only
start in positionNorP.
Inspect the transmission fluid level and shift linkage for proper
operation.

5. To put the retractor in the
automatic locking mode, grasp the
shoulder portion of the belt and pull
downward until all of the belt is
pulled out.
•Allow the belt to retract to
remove slack. The belt will click
as it retracts to indicate it is in
the automatic locking mode.
6. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is
in the automatic locking mode (you should not be able to pull more belt
out). If the retractor is not locked, unbuckle the belt and repeat Step 5.
7. Remove remaining slack from the
belt. Force the seat down with extra
weight (e.g., by pressing down or
kneeling on the child restraint while
pulling up on the shoulder belt in
order to force slack from the belt).
This is necessary to remove the remaining slack that exists once the
additional weight of the child is added to the child restraint. It also helps
to achieve the proper snugness of the child seat to the vehicle.
Sometimes, a slight lean toward the buckle helps to remove remaining
slack from the belt.
8. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). SeeUsing
tether strapsin this chapter.
