    How to check Brake Light Switch,Coolant Temperature Sensor,EGR Valve Position Sensor,Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor,Knock Sensor,MAP Sensor,Mass Air Flow Sensor,Oxygen Sensors,Throttle Position Sensor on Ford Bronco? Posted by Customer
    A:
    When working with the PCM (some call it the EEC-V module) or its related harness, be careful not to touch directly any terminal on the electrical connector as static electricity could damage the PCM's delicate electronic components. It is recommended that you wear a static discharging wrist strap and do not work on electronics when relative humidity of less than 25% is experienced. There must be checks for general EEC-IV power relay and ground to avoid confusion or misdiagnosis. Battery powered fuel injection and electric fuel pump related components requiring 10.5 volts or above are provided by EEC relay and associated circuits. The PCM (EEC-IV) reduces input voltage to four-to-six volts for output to sensors requiring specific reference voltage (VREF). For checking fuel delivery component(s), verify proper electrical operation of the following: Dual tank models should have their fuel pumps relays, inertia switches, fuel pump(s), fuel injectors, and fuel tanks selector switch checked correctly during circuit checks for these components. Information sensors and output actuators include engine coolant temperature sensor which varies its voltage output based on temperature changes like a thermistor does. Resistances change with temperatures; coolant sensor circuit failures may set diagnostic code. For cold-started measurements of resistance values in order to establish if it is within correct ranges at operating temperature provide suitable data against which one can test the sensor's performance before confirming its current status too. Verify about 5 volts signal voltage from PCM to sensor. Always wrap new sensors' threads with Teflon sealing tape when installing them into exhaust manifolds .The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor senses intake manifold pressure variation then converts them into voltage output signals .Voltage varying type MAP sensors are also available as well as frequency varying types too. A failure in MAP sensor circuitry however might lead to diagnostic trouble code creation .Check reference voltage to MAP sensor after back probing wiring harness for determining type of sensor. Use a tachometer and a hand held vacuum pump to test the response of this device, verifying that it changes smoothly from one reading into another. Replace the MAP sensor if necessary results show malfunctioning. The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gas stream, producing a voltage output that varies with air fuel ratio .Diagnostic codes indicate problems in the oxygen sensor system. Check their signal voltage stability between 0.35 and 0.55 volts at normal operating temperature. Sensor operation depends on electrical connections, outside air supply, operating temperature, and unleaded fuel use .Take special care during servicing sensors so as not to damage them. Prior replacing O2 sensors caution should be taken because they are located in exhaust manifold or pipe itself .Start and run engine briefly before removal to facilitate loosening. Make sure to disconnect battery, lift vehicle off ground , disconnect electrical connector, unscrew sensor from its position , apply anti-seize compound on threads of new sensor then install it , reconnect electrical connector.The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) located on throttle body measures angle of throttle valve which affect how much fuel is delivered.Problems in TPS or circuitry may result in diagnostic trouble code being set To check the TPS measure signal voltage at idle and full-open throttle positions Verify reference voltage for TPS and resistance across potentiometer within it Adjust TPS when required.The Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor also known as Air Charge Temperature (ACT) sensor is a resistor changing value with air temperature placed inside intake manifold .Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor malfunction may produce diagnostic trouble code.Check reference voltage and measure resistance across terminals at different temperatures.Power steering pressure switch issues may cause timing to retard at idle or engine stalling under heavy power steering use A pressure switch that fails to open or close may impact engine performance.Verify battery voltage for power steering pressure switch along with continuity to brake light bulbs. The Brake Light Switch indicates brake application to the PCM. Issues with the Brake Light Switch or circuit may affect idle quality. Check battery voltage for Brake Light Switch and continuity to brake light bulbs.The EGR Valve Position (EVP) sensor attached to the EGR valve produces a signal indicating the EGR valve's position. Check reference voltage and resistance of EVP sensor Apply vacuum and check resistance change Replace EVP sensor if necessary .The Knock Sensor (KS) detects engine detonation, sending a voltage signal to the PCM to retard spark timing.Check reference voltage for knock sensor and simulate operating conditions for timing response Replace KS if it does not respond.Idle Air Control (IAC) or Bypass Air Idle Speed Control (BPA-ISC) solenoid controls idle speed by regulating air bypassing throttle body.Check PCM signal voltage, inspect pintle for carbon deposits, measure solenoid resistance Clean IAC valve housing during installation and install new O-ring.Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor measures air entering the engine using a hot wire sensing element .Check power supply to MAF sensor and voltage signals at idle as well as increased engine speed.Disconnect MAF sensor then test its resistance.Replace MAF sensor where necessary.The Manual Lever Position (MLP) sensor on transmission indicates gear position being sent out through PCM Let each signal wire get power before having switch adjusted Further diagnostics require specialized equipment.

    Q:
    How to test and replace the IAT sensor in a Ford Explorer? Posted by Customer
    A:
    If the following tests indicate that a sensor is good, and not the cause of a driveability problem or OTC, check the wiring harness and connectors between the sensor and the PCM for an open or short circuit. If no problems are found, have the vehicle checked by a dealer service department or other qualified repair shop. The Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor is a thermistor that changes resistance as temperature changes. The sensor is installed in the intake air duct to sense air temperature. As temperature increases, sensor resistance decreases and vice versa. The PCM uses this information to compute the intake temperature and fine tune fuel metering. A problem in the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor circuit fault may be in the circuit wiring or connections or in the sensor itself. With the engine cool, disconnect the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor and use an ohmmeter to measure sensor. For example, at 68-degrees F the ohms (Intake Manifold Temperature and Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensors approximate temperature vs. resistance values). Next, start the engine and warm it up until it reaches operating temperature. Turn the engine off, disconnect the sensor and measure the resistance again. It should be lower. If the sensor resistance doesn't change as described, replace it. If the resistance values of the sensor are correct, check for reference voltage from the PCM to the sensor connector. The open-circuit voltage at the sensor connector should be approximately 5 volts. Disconnect the electrical connector, then carefully remove the Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor from the air intake duct. Be careful not to damage any of the plastic parts. Install and connect the new sensor.

    Q:
    What impact can a malfunctioning power steering pressure switch have on the engine, and how can it be checked for the 1993 Ford F-250? Posted by Customer
    A:
    A faulty power steering pressure switch may cause timing to retard at idle or engine stalling under heavy power steering use. Check for voltage and continuity to diagnose the issue.
