DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. Additionally, when your vehicle is in for service or repair,
Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities
may access or share among them data for vehicle improvement purposes.
For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC® Vehicle

Engine compartment (with engine off)
Engine oilUse the dipstick to verify the oil level is in the
proper operating range. SeeEngine oil checkin
theMaintenancechapter.
Engine coolantLook through the plastic reservoir or the clear
sight glass on the reservoir (depending upon
vehicle equipment) and verify the coolant level is
within the proper operating range.Do not
remove the pressure cap until the coolant
has cooled.SeeEngine coolant checkin the
Maintenancechapter.
Power steering
fluidVerify that the fluid level is in the proper
operating range. SeePower steering fluid check
in theMaintenancechapter.
Brake fluidRemove the master cylinder caps and inspect the
fluid level. SeeBrake fluid checkin the
Maintenancechapter.
Clutch fluidRemove the cap and inspect the fluid level. See
Clutch fluid and linkagein theMaintenance
chapter.
Belts (fan,
alternator, water
pump and air
conditioning
compressor)Inspect for glazing, fraying or cracking. There
should be no more than 5-7 cracks per rib, per
inch (2.5 centimeters).
Fluid leaksInspect for signs of fluid puddles or dripping fluid
on the ground under the engine, or the underside
of the engine.
HVAC air inletInspect for debris that may have collected on the
HVAC air inlet grille or inside the exterior module
as this may reduce system performance.

Engine starting (with parking brake applied)
Steering linkage
free playInspect for excessive free play in the steering
linkages. The steering wheel should have less
than 2 inches (5 centimeters) of free play at its
rim.
Full power
hydraulic brake
inspectionPump the brake pedal several times with the
ignition in the off or run position. You can
momentarily hear the motor and pumps
replenishing the accumulators.
Parking brakeVerify the parking brake holds the vehicle by
gently trying to pull forward with the parking
brake applied.
Air brakesVerify operation using the following procedure.
Chock the wheels, if necessary. Push in the
parking brake and, on tractors, push in the
tractor parking brake knob:
1. Verify the air compressor or governor cutout
pressure is approximately 120 psi (827 kPa).
2. Turn off the engine, and then turn the key
back to the on position (without starting the
engine).
3. Without the brake pedal applied, note the air
pressure drop for one minute. It should be less
than 2 psi (14 kPa) for single vehicles and 3 psi
(21 kPa) for combination vehicles.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal with 90 psi
(621 kPa) or more. Make sure there is no more
than a 3–psi (21 kPa) per minute leak for single
vehicles and a 4–psi (28 kPa) per minute leak for
combination vehicles.
5. Pump the brake pedal to deplete the system of
air pressure. The warning light and tone should
turn on at 57 psi (393 kPa).
6. Pump the brake pedal and make sure the
parking brake and trailer parking brake knobs
pop out at 20 psi (138 kPa) or higher.
Automatic
transmission fluidVerify that the fluid level is in the proper
operating range. SeeTransmission fluid check
in theMaintenancechapter.
