Section 4 (Engine Controls - System/Component Tests - Gasoline): Introduction: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 1993 Ford Ranger, 1993 Ford RV Cutaway, 1993 Ford Pickup, 1993 Ford F-Super Duty, and 1993 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Testing individual components does not isolate wiring circuit shorts or opens. Perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) that has a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.
NOTE:
For wiring diagrams not shown in testing procedures, see WIRING DIAGRAMS
article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
Before testing separate components or systems, perform all procedures listed in BASIC TESTING article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. Since many computer controlled and monitored components will set a service code if they malfunction, check EEC-IV system and retrieve service codes. See QUICK TEST in appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. If service codes are present see appropriate CIRCUIT TEST in appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
