GENERAL PROCEDURES
Fill
1. WARNING: Do not mix oil types, any mixture or any unapproved oil can lead to seal
deterioration and leaks. A leak can ultimately cause loss of fluid, which can result in a
loss of power steering assist.
Check the fluid level. If necessary, fill the reservoir to the correct level.
zUse Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose ATF XT -2-QDX or MERCON® equivalent.
2. Remove the fuel pump fuse from the battery junction box.
3. Raise the front wheels off the floor. For additional information, refer to Section 100 - 02 .
4. CAUTION: Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Allow the
starter to cool for 1 minute before cranking again. Premature starter failure can occur.
CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to
five seconds at a time. Damage to the power steering pump will occur.
Turn the steering wheel from stop- to-stop while cranking the engine.
5. Lower the vehicle.
6. CAUTION: Do not overfill the reservoir.
Check the fluid level. If necessary, fill the reservoir to the correct level. zUse Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose ATF XT -2-QDX or MERCON® equivalent.
7. Install the fuel pump fuse.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Steering Column Switches
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell
13 , Power Distribution for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 81 , Interval Wiper/Washer for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 85 , Headlamps for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 90 , Turn/Stop/Hazard Lamps for schematic and connector information.
Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern by operating the multifunction or ignition switch.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan
tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
zcheck that the program card is correctly installed.
