DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
External Controls
The transmission shift cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the gearshift lever to the
automatic transmission (7003). The indicated position of the transmission floor mounted selector lever
is transferred to the transmission through the cable and down to the manual control lever on the
transmission.
Shift Interlock System
The brake/shift interlock mechanism is used on vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission.
This system is used to prevent shifting from PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The
brake/shift interlock system consists of an actuator attached to the key interlock assembly and
necessary wiring. The shift lock actuator is energized when the ignition switch is turned to the run
position, locking the floor mounted transmission range selector lever in the PARK position. When the
brake pedal is depressed, the shift lock actuator is deactivated and the floor mounted transmission
range selector lever can be moved out of the PARK position.
Transmission Control Switch (TCS)
The transmission control switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch that is located on the floor
mounted transmission range selector lever. Pushing the TCS will either disengage or engage the
overdrive function of the automatic transmission. If the OVERDRIVE is disengaged, the word O/D OFF
will illuminate on the instrument cluster.

The clutch control system engages and disengages the clutch. The clutch control system disengages
the clutch when the clutch pedal is depressed and engages the clutch when the clutch pedal is
released. Clutch pedal motion is transmitted by the clutch release lever cable to the clutch release
lever. The clutch release hub and bearing engages the clutch pressure plate diaphragm spring,
releasing the pressure on the clutch disc which in turn disengages the transmission from the engine.
The clutch adjusts automatically to compensate for clutch disc wear. The clutch linkage is self-
adjusting.
The clutch pedal position (CPP) switch prevents the starter motor from engaging unless the clutch
pedal is depressed all the way to the floor. The switch plunger is contacted by the clutch pedal and
extends as the clutch pedal is pressed. The clutch pedal position switch is electrically connected in line
with the ignition switch and the starter motor relay coil. The CPP also turns off the speed control when
the clutch pedal is depressed. 4 7L583 Clutch pedal quadrant and pawl assembly Klj . 2 ba

If two substances of different temperature are placed near each other, the heat in the warmer
substance will transfer to the colder substance.
Latent Heat of Vaporization
When a liquid boils (converts to a gas), it absorbs heat without raising the temperature of the resulting
gas. When the gas condenses (reverts back to a liquid), it gives off heat without lowering the
temperature of the resulting liquid.
Relative Humidity
The amount of moisture (water vapor content) that the air can hold is directly related to the air
temperature. The more heat there is in the air, the more moisture the air can hold. The lower the
moisture content in the air, the more comfortable you feel. Removing moisture from the air lowers its
relative humidity and improves personal comfort.
Effects of Pressure on Boiling or Condensation
As the pressure is increased on a liquid, the temperature at which the liquid boils (converts to a gas)
also increases. Conversely, when the pressure on a liquid is reduced, its boiling point is also reduced.
When in the gas state, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature, while a decrease in
pressure will decrease the temperature of the gas.
Compressor Anti-
Slugging Strategy
Liquid refrigerant may accumulate in the A/C compressor under certain conditions. To alleviate
damage to the A/C compressor, compressor anti- slugging strategy (CASS) is utilized.
CASS is initiated only under specific conditions:
zthe ignition is off for more than 8 hours
z the ambient temperature is above -4º C (25ºF)
z battery voltage is above 8.5 volts during engine cranking
When these conditions are present, the powertrain control module (PCM) will activate the A/C control
relay prior to cranking of the engine. The A/C control relay engages the A/C compressor for
approximately 4- 15 A/C compressor revolutions or a maximum of 2 seconds (depending upon vehicle
application), allowing the liquid refrigerant to be pushed from the A/C compressor. CASS is initiated by
the PCM regardless of the function selector switch position or the EATC system settings.
The Refrigerant Cycle
During stabilized conditions (air conditioning system shut down), the refrigerant is in a vaporized state
and pressures are equal throughout the system. When the A/C compressor (19703) is in operation, it
increases pressure on the refrigerant vapor, raising its temperature. The high- pressure and high-
temperature vapor is then released into the top of the A/C condenser core (19712).
The A/C condenser core, being close to ambient temperature, causes the refrigerant vapor to
condense into a liquid when heat is removed from the refrigerant by ambient air passing over the fins
and tubing. The now liquid refrigerant, still at high pressure, exits from the bottom of the A/C
condenser core and enters the inlet side of the A/C evaporator core orifice (19D990).
The A/C evaporator core orifice is the restriction in the refrigerant system that creates the high
pressure buildup upstream of the A/C evaporator core (19860) and separates the high and low
pressure sides of the A/C system. As the liquid refrigerant leaves this restriction, its pressure and
boiling point are reduced.
The liquid refrigerant is now at its lowest pressure and temperature. As it passes through the A/C Klj . 3 ba

2. Inspect to determine if one of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply:
a A leak in the vacuum control circuit may occur during acceleration (slow leak), at all times
(large leak), or only when specific functions are selected (indicating a leak in that portion of the
circuit). The vacuum hoses used in the passenger compartment control circuit are constructed
from PVC plastic material. The vacuum hoses used in the engine compartment are constructed
of Hytrel® . Because of the materials used, never pinch the vacuum hoses off during diagnosis
to locate a leak. A wood golf tee can be used as a plug when it is necessary to plug one end of
a vacuum hose for leak test purposes.
3. If the inspection reveals obvious concerns that can be readily identified, repair as required.
4. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan
tool menu. If the vehicle selection cannot be entered:
zcheck that the program card is correctly installed.
z check the connections to the vehicle.
z check the ignition switch position.
If the scan tool still does not allow the vehicle selection to be entered, refer to the scan tool manual. 5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST using the scan tool. If the scan tool responds with:
zCKT 914, CKT 915 or CKT 70 = ALL MODULE NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, go to
Communication System Diagnostics in Section 418 - 00 to diagnose network concern.
z If the powertrain control module (PCM) is not listed for a communication concern, turn
the A/C function selector switch to OFF and execute self- test diagnostics for the PCM.
6. If any PCM DTCs are retrieved, and are related to the concern, go to the Powertrain Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Instrument Cluster
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
60 , Instrument Cluster for schematic and connector information.
Principles of Operation
NOTE: A new instrument cluster must be reconfigured. Refer to Section 418 - 01 .
The instrument cluster is a hybrid electronic cluster (HEC). The instrument cluster uses both hardwired
and the standard corporate protocol (SCP) communication network to transmit and receive
information. As a technician it is very important to understand:
zwhere the input originates from.
z all information necessary in order for a feature to operate.
z which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.
z does the module which received the input control the output of the feature, or does it output a
message over the SCP network to another module?
z which module controls the output of the feature.
The instrument cluster carries out a display prove- out to verify that the warning/indicator miniature
bulbs for monitored systems are functioning correctly. When the ignition switch is in the ON position
with the engine off, the following warning indicators will prove out:

The boost pressure gauge on the instrument cluster receives and measures the boost pressure
directly from the intake manifold. The boost pressure gauge will display between 0.0-
0.48 kpa (0.0-10
psi) boost pressure dependent upon accelerator position, engine load, and engine rpm.
LOW FUEL Level Indicator
The low fuel level indicator is hardwired from the fuel sender to the instrument cluster. The instrument
cluster will illuminate the low fuel indicator when the usable fuel quantity is less than 1/8 tank (15%) of
fuel tank capacity.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge is hardwired from the oil pressure switch to the instrument cluster. The oil
pressure gauge will indicate either normal or no oil pressure.
CHECK FUEL CAP
The CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is used to indicate significant leaks in the fuel tank evaporative
system due to a loose fuel cap. Fuel tank pressure is monitored by the PCM. If a leak is detected the
PCM signals a fault to the instrument cluster via the SCP network. Once the PCM has detected a
loose fuel cap and the CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is illuminated, the indicator will remain illuminated
until the fuel cap is secured and the vehicle has been running for several minutes. For additional
information, refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
BRAKE Warning Indicator
The BRAKE warning indicator activates when the generic electronic module (GEM) detects the ignition
switch circuits are in the RUN state, when the GEM detects low brake fluid level, or that the parking
brake is applied. The BRAKE warning indicator will prove out starting when the GEM detects that the
ignition circuits have made a transition to RUN or START from OFF, ACC, or keyout and ending when
either three seconds have elapsed or when the GEM detects the ignition circuits have made a
transition to OFF, ACC, or keyout.
Safety Belt Warning Indicator
The safety belt switch is hardwired to the GEM. The safety belt warning indicator will be illuminated
when the GEM sends a ground signal to the instrument cluster.
ABS Warning Indicator
The ABS warning indicator will be illuminated when the anti- lock brake control module sends a ground
signal to the instrument cluster. The prove- out of the ABS indicator is controlled by the anti- lock brake
control module.
SERVICE ENGINE SOON Indicator
The SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator receives its signal from the PCM over the SCP network. If the
instrument cluster does not receive a message from the PCM within five seconds, the instrument
cluster will illuminate the SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator and log a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
High Beam Indicator
The high beam indicator will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in the high
beam position by sending a battery signal to the instrument cluster. Right and Left Turn Indicator Klj . 3 ba

18. 11. 2011file:///C:/Ford/2000 - 2004/tsocache/SHEF_5108/S3B~us~en~ ...

The right and left turn indicators will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in
either turn signal position or hazard lamps position by sending a battery signal to the instrument
cluster.
AIR BAG Warning Indicator
The AIR BAG warning indicator will be illuminated when the restraint control module (RCM) sends a
ground signal to the instrument cluster. The prove-
out of the AIR BAG warning indicator is controlled
by the RCM.
THEFT Indicator
The THEFT indicator provides a passive anti- theft system (PATS) prove-out. The THEFT indicator will
prove out for three seconds following the ignition switch cycle and will flash following an ignition switch
OFF transition to indicate that PATS is active.
Charging System Indicator
The charging system indicator will be illuminated when the generator provides a ground signal to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster provides a prove- out when the ignition switch is in the RUN
position with the engine off. When the engine is started, the generator removes the ground to the
instrument cluster and extinguishes the charging system indicator.
Overdrive Off (O/D OFF) Indicator
The O/D OFF indicator is controlled by the off/on message sent from the PCM over the SCP network.
The instrument cluster does not provide a prove- out for the O/D OFF indicator, but will remain
illuminated if the overdrive has been commanded off following the instrument cluster prove- out.
Traction Control Indicator
During initialization, the instrument cluster will receive the traction control system state status message
from the traction control module to determine if the vehicle is equipped with traction control. If the
vehicle is equipped with traction control, this information will be stored in random access memory
(RAM) and the indicator will prove out for three seconds during each ignition cycle. If this message is
not received, the instrument cluster will assume that the vehicle is not traction control equipped and
the indicator will remain off. When the traction control is active, the traction control module sends the
instrument cluster a traction control active signal and the instrument cluster illuminates the traction
control indicator. When the traction control is inactive, the traction control module removes the traction
control active signal and the instrument cluster turns off the indicator.
In the event of a traction control failure, the traction control indicator will remain off and the ABS
indicator will illuminate.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
