Driving Your Bronco

[DR00350(BEF )03/95]
Procedures for driving your vehicle will vary

vehicle has.

[DR00650(BEF )04/95]
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electronic
Powertrain Control Module that limits engine
and/or vehicle speeds with a cut-out mode to
promote durability.
*
[DR08650(BEF )03/93]
Automatic Transmission
Operation (E4OD and 4R70W)
*
[DR08710(BEF )03/94]
The E4OD and 4R70W transmissions are
electronically controlled four speed automatic
transmissions with overdrive. Transmission
operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
*
[DR08720( ALL)08/94]
The PCM will automatically adjust transmission
operation to make up for varying conditions.
Several sensors located on the engine and
transmission such as Throttle Position, Engine
Speed, Vehicle Speed and Transmission
Temperature are used by the PCM to shift the
transmission into a higher or lower gear when
required for the best performance and fuel
economy. For example, you may notice that the
transmission will upshift to a higher gear more

176quickly when the vehicle is first driven and has
not reached normal operating temperature.
*
[DR08730( ALL)07/94]
The PCM also controls the transmission's Torque
Converter Clutch to further raise vehicle
performance and fuel economy. The Torque
Converter Clutch will engage when the
transmission operating temperature and other
conditions determined by the PCM have been
met. Engagement of the clutch may be noted as
a decrease in engine speed after an upshift has
completed or when the driver has depressed the
throttle while driving at a steady road speed.
[DR08740( ALL)04/95]
To help in troubleshooting, the PCM continually
performs self-tests on the electronic control
system and if any faults are detected, will store
them in memory. The Transmission Control
Indicator Light (TCIL), which is located on the
gearshift lever, may flash steadily if a
malfunction has been detected. If the TCIL is
flashing, contact your Ford dealer as soon as
possible. If this condition persists, damage to the
transmission could occur.
[DR08745( ALL)04/95]
NOTE: The word ªOFFº located on the end of
the gearshift lever is the transmission
control indicator light (TCIL).

[DR08750( ALL)01/95]
Putting Your Vehicle in Gear
*
[DR08800( ALL)03/94]
Your vehicle's gearshift is on the steering
column. The Transmission Control Switch and
indicator light are located on the end of the
gearshift lever. You can put the gearshift in any
of the several positions.

Ð At extremely low temperatures, it may be
necessary to slow down or even stop to shift
from two wheel drive to 4x4.
*
[DR17960(B F )06/94]
Ð The initial shift from two-wheel drive to 4x4
while the vehicle is moving can cause some
momentary clunk and ratcheting sounds. This is
the front drivetrain coming up to speed and the
automatic locking hubs engaging and is not a
cause for concern.
*
[DR17990(B F )12/91]
Ð Because of possible damage to powertrain
components, never shift from Two-Wheel Drive
to 4x4 with the rear wheels slipping.
*
[DR18020(B F )06/94]
To shift from 4x4 to Two-Wheel Drive:
*
[DR18050(B F )06/94]
Push the 4x4 button; the 4x4 lamp on the
instrument cluster will go out indicating the
vehicle is in Two-Wheel Drive. This can be done
at any speed. To disengage the automatic
locking hubs, operate the vehicle in Two-Wheel
Drive in the opposite direction for approximately
10 feet (3 meters) in a straight line.
