2003 FORD MUSTANG cooling

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Control Components
Manual A/C
The climate control system heats or cools the vehicle interior depending on the function selector
position and the temperature selected. Function selector position determines heating or cooling and air
distribution. The temperature blend control setting determines air temperature.
The manual climate control components are used to:
zselect air inlet source (outside or recirculated).
z select blower motor speed.
z select discharge air temperature (temperature blend).
z select discharge air location (defrost, panel, floor).
z select A/C compressor clutch operation. Component Locations SECTION 412-

Instrument Cluster Replacement
When it is necessary to install a new instrument cluster, contact the Instrument Cluster Program.
Gauge Indication Systems
Tachometer
Engine rpm information is relayed to the instrument cluster from the powertrain control module (PCM)
over the standard corporate protocol (SCP) network.
Speedometer
The instrument cluster receives the vehicle speed signal from the PCM over the SCP network and
displays it on the speedometer gauge. If the instrument cluster receives no vehicle speed signal after
one second, the speedometer defaults to 0.0 km/h (0.0 mph).
Odometer
The instrument cluster receives an odometer message from the PCM and stores the mileage in
memory. When the instrument cluster fails to receive the odometer message for more than two
seconds, the odometer will display dashes.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel sender is hardwired to the fuel gauge. When the instrument cluster fails to receive the fuel
level signal for more than 33 seconds, the fuel level gauge will move below E (empty). If the fuel level
signal operates correctly for more than 33 seconds, the fuel gauge will return to the correct position.
Fuel fills of less than 9.5 liters (2.5 gallons) require at least 10 minutes to update the fuel gauge
indication.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Engine coolant temperature information is received by the instrument cluster from the PCM over the
SCP network. Engine coolant temperatures above 121°C (250°F) will cause the gauge to indicate
above the normal band. If the engine coolant temperature information is missing or invalid for five
seconds, the temperature gauge will indicate below the cold (C) position.
Voltage Gauge (except Cobra)
The voltage gauge displays the system voltage as measured at the instrument cluster run input. Boost Gauge (Cobra only) Klj . 2 ba

CAUTION: Do not make jumper connections except as directed. Incorrect connections
may damage the voltage regulator test terminals, fuses, or fuse links.
CAUTION: Do not allow any metal object to come in contact with the generator housing
and internal diode cooling fins.

8. If the draw is found to be excessive, pull fuses from the battery/central junction box one at a
time and note the current drop. Do not reinstall the fuses until you are finished testing.
9. Check the wiring schematic in the wiring diagram for any circuits that run from the battery without passing through the battery/central junction box. Disconnect these circuits if the draw is
still excessive.
Battery— Electronic Drains Which Shut Off When the Battery Cable is Disconnected
1. Repeat the steps of the battery drain testing.
2. Make sure all doors are closed and accessories are off. Without starting the engine, turn the ignition switch to RUN for a moment and then OFF. Wait a few minutes for the illuminated entry
lamps to turn off if equipped.
3. Connect the ammeter and read the amperage draw.
The current reading (current drain) should be less than 50 mA (0.05 amp). If the current drain exceeds
50 mA (0.05 amp) after a few minutes, and if this drain did not show in previous tests, the drain is most
likely caused by an inoperative electronic component. As in previous tests, remove the fuses from the
battery/central junction box one at a time to locate the problem circuit.
Generator On- Vehicle Tests
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the generator, do not make jumper wire connections
except as directed.
CAUTION: Do not allow any metal object to come in contact with the housing and the
internal diode cooling fins with key on or off. A short circuit will result and burn out the diodes.
NOTE: Battery posts and cable clamps must be clean and tight for accurate meter indications.
NOTE: Refer to the Battery Tester Procedure Manual for complete directions for testing the charging
system.
1. Turn off all lamps and electrical components.
2. Place the vehicle in transmission range NEUTRAL and apply the parking brake.
3. Carry out the Load Test and No- Load Test according to the following component tests:
Generator On- Vehicle Tests— Load Test
1. Switch the battery tester to the ammeter function.
2. Connect the positive and negative leads of the battery tester to the corresponding battery terminals.
3. Connect the current probe to the generator B+ output terminal, circuit 38 (BK/OG). Klj . 12 ba

4. Place the air bag module on a flat surface in an open outdoor area with the trim cover facing
upward.
5. Remain at least 6.1 meters (20 feet) away from the air bag module.
6. Deploy the air bag module by touching the other ends of the two wires to the terminals of a 12– volt battery.
7. To allow for cooling, wait at least ten minutes before approaching the deployed air bag.
8. Dispose of the deployed air bag module in the same manner as any other part to be scrapped. Klj . 2 ba

GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

In the past, when cars were simpler, diagrams were simpler. All components were connected by wires, and
diagrams seldom exceeded 4 pages in length. Today, some wiring diagrams require more than 16 pages. It
would be impractical to expect a service technician to trace a wire from page 1 across every page to page 16.
Components shown with a dashed line instead of a solid line indicate not all circuits are shown in this
particular diagram (circuits shown in system diagrams are typically applicable to that system only). The
remaining circuits connected to that component will be shown in the appropriate system that they apply to.
Today, the wiring diagram necessary to support a given repair procedure is included within that article or a
link is provided to the appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM article. For example, the wiring diagram
for a Ford EEC-IV system may be included in ENGINE PERFORMANCE and WIRING DIAGRAMS
articles for Ford Motor Co. The wiring diagram for a cruise control system may be included in
ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section for the specific vehicle manufacturer, and the wiring diagram for
an anti-lock brake system may be included in BRAKES and WIRING DIAGRAMS for the specific
manufacturer.
WIRING DIAGRAMS cont ains all wiring diagrams not in cluded in STARTING & CHARGING
SYSTEMS and ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. Th is includes: Data Link Connectors, Ground
Distribution, Power Distribution, Engine Performance, Electri c Cooling Fans, Anti-Lock Brakes, Electronic
Suspension and Electronic Steering wiring diagrams. The Data Link Conne ctors wiring diagrams show the
circuits by which the various on-board computers exchange information, and the diagnostic connectors used
for diagnosis and their location. The Ground Distribution wi ring diagrams show all vehicle ground points,
their location, and the components co mmon to those ground points. The Po wer Distribution wiring diagrams
show the power feed circuits and the components common to those power feeds.
Wiring diagrams used to support the information in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMEN T are drawn in a "top-
down" format. The diagrams are drawn with the power source at the top of the diagram and the ground point
at the bottom of the diagram. Component locations are identified on the wiring diagrams. Any wires that do
not connect directly to a component are identifi ed on the diagram to indicate where they go.
