2. Inspect to determine if one of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply:
a A leak in the vacuum control circuit may occur during acceleration (slow leak), at all times
(large leak), or only when specific functions are selected (indicating a leak in that portion of the
circuit). The vacuum hoses used in the passenger compartment control circuit are constructed
from PVC plastic material. The vacuum hoses used in the engine compartment are constructed
of Hytrel® . Because of the materials used, never pinch the vacuum hoses off during diagnosis
to locate a leak. A wood golf tee can be used as a plug when it is necessary to plug one end of
a vacuum hose for leak test purposes.
3. If the inspection reveals obvious concerns that can be readily identified, repair as required.
4. 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 vehicle selection cannot be entered:
zcheck that the program card is correctly installed.
z check the connections to the vehicle.
z check the ignition switch position.
If the scan tool still does not allow the vehicle selection to be entered, refer to the scan tool manual. 5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST using the scan tool. If the scan tool responds with:
zCKT 914, CKT 915 or CKT 70 = ALL MODULE NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, go to
Communication System Diagnostics in Section 418 - 00 to diagnose network concern.
z If the powertrain control module (PCM) is not listed for a communication concern, turn
the A/C function selector switch to OFF and execute self- test diagnostics for the PCM.
6. If any PCM DTCs are retrieved, and are related to the concern, go to the Powertrain Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.

The spring lock coupling is a refrigerant line coupling held together by a garter spring inside a circular
cage.
zWhen the coupling is connected together, the flared end of the female fitting slips behind the
garter spring inside the cage of the male fitting.
z The garter spring and cage then prevent the flared end of the female fitting from pulling out of
the cage.
z Three O- ring seals are used to seal between the two halves of the A/C condenser core
couplings. All other couplings have two O- ring seals.
z Use only the O- ring seals listed in the Ford Master Parts Catalog for the spring lock coupling.
z A plastic indicator ring is used on the spring lock couplings of the A/C evaporator core to
indicate, during vehicle assembly, that the coupling is connected. Once the coupling is
connected, the indicator ring is no longer necessary but will remain captive by the coupling near
the cage opening.
z The indicator ring may also be used during repair operations to indicate connection of the
coupling.
z An A/C tube lock coupling clip (19E746) may be used to secure the coupling but is not required.

The boost pressure gauge on the instrument cluster receives and measures the boost pressure
directly from the intake manifold. The boost pressure gauge will display between 0.0-
0.48 kpa (0.0-10
psi) boost pressure dependent upon accelerator position, engine load, and engine rpm.
LOW FUEL Level Indicator
The low fuel level indicator is hardwired from the fuel sender to the instrument cluster. The instrument
cluster will illuminate the low fuel indicator when the usable fuel quantity is less than 1/8 tank (15%) of
fuel tank capacity.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge is hardwired from the oil pressure switch to the instrument cluster. The oil
pressure gauge will indicate either normal or no oil pressure.
CHECK FUEL CAP
The CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is used to indicate significant leaks in the fuel tank evaporative
system due to a loose fuel cap. Fuel tank pressure is monitored by the PCM. If a leak is detected the
PCM signals a fault to the instrument cluster via the SCP network. Once the PCM has detected a
loose fuel cap and the CHECK FUEL CAP indicator is illuminated, the indicator will remain illuminated
until the fuel cap is secured and the vehicle has been running for several minutes. For additional
information, refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
BRAKE Warning Indicator
The BRAKE warning indicator activates when the generic electronic module (GEM) detects the ignition
switch circuits are in the RUN state, when the GEM detects low brake fluid level, or that the parking
brake is applied. The BRAKE warning indicator will prove out starting when the GEM detects that the
ignition circuits have made a transition to RUN or START from OFF, ACC, or keyout and ending when
either three seconds have elapsed or when the GEM detects the ignition circuits have made a
transition to OFF, ACC, or keyout.
Safety Belt Warning Indicator
The safety belt switch is hardwired to the GEM. The safety belt warning indicator will be illuminated
when the GEM sends a ground signal to the instrument cluster.
ABS Warning Indicator
The ABS warning indicator will be illuminated when the anti- lock brake control module sends a ground
signal to the instrument cluster. The prove- out of the ABS indicator is controlled by the anti- lock brake
control module.
SERVICE ENGINE SOON Indicator
The SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator receives its signal from the PCM over the SCP network. If the
instrument cluster does not receive a message from the PCM within five seconds, the instrument
cluster will illuminate the SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator and log a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
High Beam Indicator
The high beam indicator will illuminate when the steering column multifunction switch is in the high
beam position by sending a battery signal to the instrument cluster. Right and Left Turn Indicator Klj . 3 ba
