For natural gas applications, the following description applies
to the fuel shutoff valve (FSV) circuit.
The PCM monitors the fuel pump (FP) circuit output from the
PCM. The test fails if: With the FP output commanded ON (grounded),
excessive current draw is detected on the FP circuit; or with
the FP output commanded OFF, voltage is not detected on the
FP circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming
through the fuel pump relay coil to the FP circuit). |

- When
the FPF PID reads YES, a fault is currently present.
- An
open circuit or short to ground can only be detected with
the fuel pump commanded OFF.

is not detected on the FPM circuit. |

P0232 - Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit High
top |
- NOTE:
For natural gas applications, the following description
applies to the fuel shutoff valve monitor (FSVM) and the
fuel shutoff valve power (FSV PWR) circuits.
- The
PCM monitors the fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit. This test
fails when the PCM detects voltage on the FPM circuit while
the fuel pump is commanded OFF. The FPM circuit is wired
to a pull-up voltage inside the PCM. The FPM circuit will
go high if, with the key ON and the fuel pump commanded
OFF, the FPM/FP PWR circuit loses its path to ground through
the fuel pump. The FPM circuit will also go high if the
FPM/FP PWR circuit is shorted to power.

expected the circuit to be off (i.e. fuel system test or prime
procedure). |

P0234 - Supercharger Overboost Condition

The
PCM disables (bypasses) the supercharger boost and sets a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to keep from damaging the powertrain
(engine or transmission) during potential harmful operating
conditions. |

causes. |
P0243 - Supercharger (Boost) Bypass Solenoid Circuit Malfunction

P0297 - Vehicle Over Speed Condition
top |

the vehicle has been operated in a manner, which caused the
vehicle speed to exceed a calibration limit. The vehicle speed
is continuously monitored and evaluated by the PCM. The DTC

set within the PCM. |

The
DTC indicates the vehicle has been operated in a manner, which
caused the engine speed to exceed a calibrated limit. |
P0298 - Engine Oil Over Temperature Condition
top |
Indicates
the Engine Oil Temperature Protection strategy in the PCM
has been activated. This will temporarily prohibit high engine
speed operation by disabling injectors, therefore reducing
the risk of engine damage from high engine oil temperature.
Note: On engines which are equipped with an oil temperature
sensor, the PCM reads oil temperature to determine if it is
excessive. When an oil temperature sensor is not present,
the PCM uses an oil algorithm to infer actual temperature.
Engine shutdown strategy function is the same on vehicles
with and without oil temperature sensors. |

P0301 through P0310 - Misfire Detection Monitor
top |
The

due to absence of spark, poor fuel metering, poor compression,
or any other cause. |

severe enough to cause catalyst damage. If the MIL is on steady
state, due to a misfire, this will indicate the threshold
for emissions was exceeded and cause the vehicle to fail an
inspection and maintenance tailpipe test. |

from either the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), transfer case
speed sensor (TCSS) or anti-lock brake system (ABS) control
module. If the engine rpm is above the torque converter stall
speed (automatic transmission) and engine load is high, it
can be inferred that the vehicle must be moving. If there
is insufficient vehicle speed data input, a malfunction is
indicated and a DTC is set. On most vehicle applications the

Monitor
VSS PID while driving vehicle. This DTC is set when the PCM
detects a sudden loss of vehicle speed signal over a period
of time. If vehicle speed data is lost, check the source of
where the vehicle speed input originates from: VSS, TCSS or
ABS. Note: On some MSOF applications, VSS and TCSS PID can
be monitor. However if no TCSS PID is available and VSS PID
is zero, TCSS circuitry frequency must be checked for loss
of sensor signal. If another vehicle electronic module has
generated the P0500 and the vehicle does not receive its vehicle
speed input from one of the above mention sources (VSS, TCSS
or ABS). Check the PCM for Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS)
DTCs. On OSS applications the PCM uses the OSS to calculated
the vehicle speed. If no OSS DTCs are found check for correct
PCM configuration. Check PCM configuration for correct tire
size and axle ratio. |

P1000 - OBD (On Board Diagnostic) System Readiness Test Not Complete
top |
The
OBD monitors are performed during the OBD Drive Cycle. The
P1000 will be stored in continuous memory if any of the OBD
monitors do not complete their full diagnostic check. |
- Vehicle

- Battery or PCM had recently been disconnected
- An
OBD monitor failure had occurred before completion of an
OBD drive cycle
- PCM
DTCs have recently been cleared with a scan tool
- PTO
circuit is shorted to VPWR or B+ or PTO is on during testing
|
The
Ford P1000, inspection/maintenance (I/M) readiness function
is part of the PCM strategy. A battery disconnection or clearing
codes using a scan tool results in the various I/M readiness
bits being set to a "not-ready" condition. As each non-continuous
OBD monitor completes a full diagnostic check, the I/M readiness
bit associated with that monitor is set to a "ready" condition.
This may take 1 or 2 drive cycles based on whether malfunctions
are detected or not. The readiness bits for comprehensive
component monitoring, misfire and fuel system monitoring are
considered complete once all the non-continuous monitors have
been evaluated. Because the EVAP system monitor requires certain
ambient conditions to run, special logic can "bypass" the
monitor for purpose of clearing the EVAP system I/M readiness
bit due to continued presence of these extreme conditions.
Note: The P1000 does not need to be cleared from the
PCM except to pass an I/M test. |

P1125 - Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Intermittent
top |
The

continuously sends a duty cycle signal to the PCM through
the FPM circuit. The test fails if the PCM stops receiving
the duty cycle signal. |

the ACET signal input is less than Self-Test minimum. Self-Test
minimum is 0.13 volts. |
- ACET
circuit short to ground or SIG RTN
- Damaged
ACET sensor
- Damaged
PCM
|
The
PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit (this
voltage can be measured with the sensor disconnected). As
A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the ACET circuit resistance
to SIG RTN (ground) changes (which changes the voltage the
PCM detects). When the ACET signal is detected below the Self-Test
minimum, check for shorts to SIG RTN or ground, which would
pull the voltage low. |
P1437 - A/C Evaporator Temperature (ACET) Circuit High Input
top |
Indicates
the ACET signal input is greater than Self-Test minimum. Self-Test
maximum is 4.5 volts. |

The
PCM sources a low current 5 volts on the ACET circuit (this
voltage can be measured with the sensor disconnected). As
A/C evaporator air temperature changes, the ACET circuit resistance
to SIG RTN (ground) changes (which changes the voltage the
PCM detects). When the ACET signal is detected above the Self-Test
maximum, check for open cirucits (ACET or SIG RTN), which
would cause the voltage to remain high. Although not as probable,
also check for a short to power (VREF). |

To
verify normal function, monitor the EVAP canister vent solenoid
signal PID EVAPCV and the signal voltage (PCM control side).
With the valve open, EVAPCV will indicate 0 percent duty cycle
and the voltage approximately equal to battery voltage. When
the valve is commanded fully closed, EVAPCV will indicate
100% duty cycle and a voltage drop of 4 volts minimum is normal.
Output test mode may be used to switch output ON/OFF to verify
function. |

from the PCM. The test fails if: When the PCM grounds the
WAC circuit, excessive current draw is detected on the WAC
circuit; or with the WAC circuit not grounded by the PCM,
voltage is not detected on the WAC circuit (the PCM expects
to detect VPWR voltage coming through the WAC relay coil to
the WAC circuit). |

|
- An
intermittent open circuit, although possible, is unlikely
- This
test was designed to protect the transmission. In some strategies,
the PCM will unlock the torque converter during A/C clutch
engagement. If a concern is present that results in frequent
A/C clutch cycling, damage could occur if the torque converter
was cycled at these intervals. This test will detect this
condition, set the DTC and prevent the torque converter
from excessive cycling.
