2014 FORD F150 sensor

•
If you are driving more than 15 miles
(24 kilometers) at temperatures above
freezing, angle the plow blade either
full left or full right to provide
maximum airflow to the radiator.
• If you are driving less than 15 miles (24
kilometers) at speeds up to 45 mph
(72 km/h) in cold weather, you will not
need to worry about blade position to
provide maximum airflow.
Transmission operation while
plowing WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at over 35
mph (55 km/h). The tires may fail
and injure a passenger or bystander.
•
Shift transfer case to 4L (4WD Low)
when plowing in small areas at speeds
below
5.0 mph (8 km/h).
• Shift transfer case to
4H (4WD High)
when plowing larger areas or light snow
at higher speeds. Do not exceed 15 mph
(24 km/h).
• Do not shift the transmission from a
forward gear to
R (Reverse) until the
engine is at idle and the wheels have
stopped.
Outside Air Temperature While
Plowing
While plowing with your vehicle, the plow
blade can block the sensor airflow and
cause the outside air temperature reading
to be inaccurate.
A Ford wiring kit is available to relocate the
Outside Air Temperature sensor to the
plow blade frame below the headlamp to
provide accurate outside air temperature
readings. See your authorized dealer for
more information.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 3.5L ECOBOOST™
WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and personal burn injuries, do not
start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may be
void for any damage to the engine if the
correct air filter element is not used.
Note: For EcoBoost equipped vehicles:
When servicing the air cleaner, it is
important that no foreign material enter the
air induction system. The engine and
turbocharger are susceptible to damage
from even small particles.
When changing the air filter element, use
only the air filter element listed. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
296).
Change the air filter element at the proper
interval.
See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 438). 1.
Locate the sensor electrical connector
on the air outlet tube (1). This
connector will need to be unplugged. 2. Pull up to disconnect wiring harness
(2).
3. Disconnect the sensor by pressing the retaining tab and pulling back on the
lead. 4. Clean the area around the air tube to
air cover connection to prevent debris
from entering the system, and then
loosen the bolt on the air tube clamp
so the clamp is no longer snug to the
air tube. It is not necessary to
completely remove the clamp.
5. Pull the air tube off from the air cleaner
housing.
6. Release the clamps that secure the cover to the air filter housing. Push the
air filter cover toward the center of the
vehicle and up slightly to release it.
7. Remove the air filter element from the
air filter housing.
8. Install a new air filter element.
9. Replace the air filter housing cover and
secure the clamps. Be careful not to
crimp the filter element edges between
the air filter housing and cover and
ensure that the tabs on the edge are
properly aligned into the slots.
10. Slip the air tube onto the air filter housing and tighten the air-tube
clamp bolt snugly, but do not
overtighten it.

WARNINGS
not recommended by Ford can
affect the safety and performance
of your vehicle, which could result
in an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death.
Additionally the use of
non-recommended tires and
wheels could cause steering,
suspension, axle, transfer case or
power transfer unit failure. If you
have questions regarding tire
replacement, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as
possible. To reduce the risk of serious
injury, when mounting
replacement tires and wheels, you
should not exceed the maximum
pressure indicated on the sidewall
of the tire to set the beads without
additional precautions listed
below. If the beads do not seat at
the maximum pressure indicated,
re-lubricate and try again
When inflating the tire for
mounting pressures up to 20 psi
(1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure on the tire
sidewall, the following
precautions must be taken to
protect the person mounting the
tire:
1. Make sure that you have the
correct tire and wheel size.
2. Lubricate the tire bead and
wheel bead seat area again. WARNINGS
3. Stand at a minimum of 12 feet
(3.6 meters) away from the wheel
and tire assembly.
4. Use both eye and ear
protection.
For a mounting pressure more
than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than
the maximum pressure, a Ford
dealer or other tire service
professional should do the
mounting.
Always inflate steel carcass tires
with a remote air fill with the
person inflating standing at a
minimum of 12 feet (3.6 meters)
away from the wheel and tire
assembly Important: Remember to replace
the wheel valve stems when the
road tires are replaced on your
vehicle
The two front tires or two rear tires
should generally be replaced as a
pair.
The tire pressure sensors mounted
in the wheels are not designed to
be used in aftermarket wheels.
The use of wheels or tires not
recommended by Ford Motor
Company may affect the
operation of your tire pressure
monitoring system.
280
F150 (TF6) , enUSA Wheels and Tires

Wheel misalignment in the front
or the rear can cause uneven and
rapid treadwear of your tires and
should be corrected by an
authorized dealer. Front-wheel
drive vehicles and those with an
independent rear suspension may
require alignment of all four
wheels.
The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire
and wheel assembly may result in
irregular tire wear.
Tire Rotation
WARNING
If the tire label shows
different tire pressures for the
front and rear tires and the vehicle
is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system, then the
settings for the system sensors
need to be updated. Always
perform the system reset
procedure after tire rotation. If the
system is not reset, it may not
provide a low tire pressure
warning when necessary. See the
tire pressure monitoring system
reset procedure in this chapter. Note:
If your tires show uneven
wear ask an authorized dealer to
check for and correct any wheel
misalignment, tire imbalance or
mechanical problem involved
before tire rotation. Note:
Your vehicle may be
equipped with a dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly. A
dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly is defined as a spare
wheel and tire assembly that is
different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels. If you have a dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire
rotation.
Note: After having your tires
rotated, inflation pressure must be
checked and adjusted to the
vehicle requirements.
Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval (as
indicated in the Scheduled
Maintenance chapter) will help
your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance
and longer tire life.
Rear-wheel drive vehicles and
four-wheel drive vehicles (front
tires at left of diagram) Sometimes irregular tire wear can
be corrected by rotating the tires.
