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
Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic information may also
be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Ford authorized
service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may be used for any
purpose. See theSYNC®chapter for more information.

VEHICLE INSPECTION INFORMATION
To make sure your vehicle is ready to operate, conduct a pre-trip
inspection at the beginning of each work period. Follow the steps listed
in this section to verify a proper vehicle inspection procedure.
WARNING:Exercise great caution when working on a vehicle
equipped with an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts in motion
only after the engine coolant reaches a predetermined temperature or
the refrigerant pressure (if equipped with air conditioning) reaches a
predetermined setting. The fan starts at this point with no advance
warning. Never reach near, or permit objects to protrude into, the fan
blade radius while the engine is running as this could result in vehicle
damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING:Do not operate the vehicle if any suspension
conditions listed in the following charts are evident. Loss of
steering or suspension could result in property damage, personal injury
or death.
WARNING:If a wheel must be changed, obtain expert tire
service help. Mounting and un-mounting of tires should only be
performed by a qualified technician using necessary safety procedures
and equipment, otherwise the result could be property damage,
personal injury or death.
Note:Always make sure you apply the parking brake before starting the
engine.

Safety and
emergency
equipmentBefore entering the cab, verify that the vehicle is
equipped with spare electrical fuses (if used),
three red reflective triangles, a properly charged
and rated fire extinguisher and wheel chocks.
Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps and
grab handles, inside and out (as well as behind),
are tight and clean. Use extreme caution and a
three-point stance at all times.
Inspect door latches for proper closing, latching
and locking.
Starting the
engineSet the parking brake. If starting a vehicle with a
manual transmission, press the clutch and verify
the transmission is in neutral. If starting a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, make sure the
gearshift lever is in positionNorP(if equipped
with a park position).
Diesel engine:Turn the key to the on position.
Turn the key to start when the wait to start
indicator light in the instrument cluster turns off.
Gasoline engine:Turn the key to start, and
then release it as soon as the engine starts.
Engine oil
pressureVerify pressure builds to normal operating range.
Low air pressure
warning tone (if
equipped with an
air compressor)A tone indicating low air pressure should sound
immediately after the engine starts but before the
compressor has built-up pressure. The tone
should stop when the air pressure reaches 70 psi
(483 kPa) (or more). Let the air pressure build
to governed cutout pressure, which should occur
between 115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).
AcceleratorPress the accelerator and verify that it operates
smoothly, without any binding or irregular feel.
Release the pedal and verify the engine returns
to idle speed immediately.
VoltmeterCheck the gauge (diesel engine) or indicator light
(gasoline engine) to verify the alternator is
charging.

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.
