GENERAL PROCEDURES
Air Conditioning (A/C) System Check —
Retail Procedure
NOTE: This Retail Procedure is not eligible for claiming on Ford paid repairs (warranty and ESP).
NOTE: The engine should be run at idle for 10 minutes with the air conditioning on and set to MAX A/C
before carrying out this retail procedure.
NOTE: Read and follow all of the Warnings, Cautions and Notes at the beginning of this section before
continuing.
1. Visual inspection
Open the hood and visually inspect the heating and air conditioning systems for the following:
zCoolant reservoir for correct coolant level
z Heater hoses for deterioration or loose connections
z Radiator and condenser for debris or damaged fins restricting airflow, loose mounting or
connections
z Accessory drive belt(s) and cooling fan(s) for wear or physical damage
z Refrigerant lines and connections for physical damage or loose connections
z Compressor for physical damage or loose connections
z Suction accumulator/drier for physical damage or loose connections
z Wiring and connectors for excessive wear, loose or damaged connections, or incorrect
routing
2. A/C refrigerant analysis
zCarry out air conditioning refrigerant analysis. For additional information, refer to
Refrigerant Identification Testing in this section.
z If the refrigerant fails the analysis, discontinue diagnosis and make recommendations for
repairs.
z If the refrigerant passes the analysis, carry out the air conditioning system check.
3. Air conditioning system check
zConnect manifold gauge set or charging station with gauges to refrigerant system.
z With the vehicle in park, parking brake set, thermometer installed in center panel vent,
and air conditioning system on and set to MAX A/C, start the engine.
z Record air refrigerant system pressures while running the engine at 1,500 rpm and allow
engine to return to idle.
z Operate the blower motor in all control positions and check for correct blower speed
changes.
z With the blower motor on HI, operate air discharge mode selector in all positions and
check for correct airflow in each position.
z Operate the temperature blend selector in all positions and check for correct change in
discharge temperature. Check the air discharge temperature with the selector in the
coolest position and the air conditioning on and set to MAX A/C to determine if the air
discharge temperature is acceptable for the current ambient air temperature.
z Carry out the EATC self- test (if applicable).
If the refrigerant system pressures were low, carry out the refrigerant system leak test.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the
diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
zcheck that the program card is correctly installed.
z check the connections to the vehicle.
z check the ignition switch position.
5. If the diagnostic tool still does not power up, refer to the diagnostic tool operating manual.
6. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test. If the diagnostic tool responds with: zCKT914, CKT915 OR CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Section 418 -
00 .
z NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for the instrument cluster, Go To Pinpoint Test A or for the
generic electronic module (GEM), Go To Pinpoint Test W .
z SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs),
erase the continuous DTCs and carry out the self- test diagnostics for the instrument
cluster or the GEM.
7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Instrument Cluster Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index or the GEM Diagnostic Trouble Code Index to continue diagnostics.
8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
Instrument Cluster Self- Diagnostic Mode
To enter the instrument cluster self- diagnostic mode, press and hold the instrument cluster
SELECT/RESET button, turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, and then continue pressing the
SELECT/RESET button (five seconds) until tESt is displayed in the odometer. The SELECT/RESET
button must be released within three seconds of the odometer tESt display to begin the self- diagnostic
mode. Press the SELECT/RESET button to advance through the following steps until dtc is displayed.
Depressing the SELECT/RESET button will display any stored continuous DTCs before proceeding to
the next step. z
