Speed Control – Overview
Speed Control
The cruise control system keeps the vehicle to a
target speed selected by the driver. The cruise
control system is controlled by the PCM (powertrain
control module)
WARNING: The cruise control system may
not be used in heavy traffic, on winding
roads or on a slippery road surface.
To remove the buttons for the cruise control
system, the airbag must be removed. The buttons
for the two control switch units cannot be replaced
individually.

Inspection and Checking
NOTE:The electronic automatic temperature
control (EATC) module is integrated into the air
conditioning control assembly.
1. VERIFY customer concern.
2. Visually CHECK for any obvious mechanical or electrical damage.
NOTE: Ensure correct locking of the wiring harness
connector.
Visual Inspection
Electrical
Mechanical
• Fuses
• Wiring harness
• Connector
• Refrigerant lines
• Condenser core
• Coolant level
• Drive belt
• A/C compressor
3. RECTIFY any obvious causes for a concern found during the visual inspection before
performing any further tests. CHECK the
operation of the system.
4. If the concern is still present after the visual inspection, perform fault diagnosis on the
electronic engine management, the charging
system, the generic electronic module (GEM)
and the instrument cluster (vehicles with EATC:
read out the EATC fault memory as well) using the Ford approved diagnostic tool and RECTIFY
the fault(s) displayed in accordance with the
fault description. CHECK the operation of the
system.
5. For vehicles with no stored fault(s), PROCEED in accordance with the Symptom Chart
according to the fault symptom.
6. Following checking or elimination of the fault(s) and after completion of operations, the fault
memories of all vehicle modules must be READ
OUT and any stored faults must be DELETED.
Refrigerant Circuit - Quick Check
WARNING: The air conditioning system is
filled with refrigerant R134a. Observe
"Health and Safety Precautions". For
further information
REFER to: Air Conditioning (A/C) System
Recovery, Evacuation and Charging
(412-00 Climate Control System - General
Information, General Procedures).
Refrigerant circuit check
WARNING: Under certain circumstances,
refrigerant lines and A/C components may
be extremely hot or cold. Exercising care,
touch the refrigerant lines or A/C
components in order to check this. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in
personal injury.
When the A/C system is operating, the following
conditions should apply:
• The refrigerant line from the refrigerant compressor to the condenser must be hot.
• The refrigerant line from the A/C condenser to the fixed orifice tube must be warm, but not so
hot as the refrigerant line mentioned above.
• Determine the difference in temperature upstream and downstream of the A/C condenser
by measuring the temperatures at the refrigerant
lines. The temperature difference should be
more than 20° C, depending on the ambient
temperature. If the temperature difference is
less, check the condenser for contamination or
damage to the fins as well as operation of the
radiator fans.

Electronic Leak Detection
1.Refer to: Air Conditioning (A/C) System Health
and Safety Precautions (100-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
2. WARNINGS:
Before starting leak detection, make
sure that the area where it is to be done
is well ventilated. If the surrounding air
is contaminated with refrigerant gas, the
leak detector will indicate this gas all
the time. Odors from other chemicals
such as antifreeze, diesel fuel, disc
brake cleaner, or other cleaning
solvents can cause the same problem.
Prevent air movement while performing
leak detection.
The refrigerant identification equipment
must be used before attaching the
manifold gauge set. Otherwise the
manifold gauge set may become
contaminated. Contaminated refrigerant
must be disposed of as special waste.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions
when working with the service unit.
NOTE: At 24°C with the engine switched off,
both manifold gauges should show 4.1 to 5.5
bar.
Attach the manifold gauge set to the service
gauge port valves.
3. For the leak test, close the manual valves on
the gauge set.
4. If little or no pressure is indicated, charge the
system with approx. 300g of refrigerant. Refer
to: Air Conditioning System - Evacuate and
Refill.
5. Use the R-134a Automatic Calibration Halogen
Leak Detector to leak test the refrigerant system.
Follow the instructions included with leak
detector for handling and operation techniques.
6. If any leak is found, extract the refrigerant under
suction. Refer to: Air Conditioning System -
Evacuate and Refill.
