IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
%
Appropriate service methods and proper repair procedures are essential for the safe,
reliable operation of all motor vehicles as well as the personal safety of the individual
doing the work. This Shop Manual provides general directions for accomplishing ser ¬
vice and repair work with tested, effective techniques. Following them will help
assure reliability.
There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servic ¬
ing vehicles, as well as in the skill of the individual doing the work. This Manual can¬
not possibly anticipate all such variations and provide advice or cautions as to each.
Accordingly, anyone who departs from the instructions provided in this Manual must
first establish that he compromises neither his personal safety nor the vehicle integ ¬
rity by his choice of methods, tools or parts.
NOTES, CAUTIONS, AND WARNINGS

As you read through the procedures, you will come across NOTES, CAUTIONS, and
WARNINGS. Each one is there for a specific purpose. NOTES give you added infor¬
mation that will help you to complete a particular procedure. CAUTIONS are given to
prevent you from making an error that could damage the vehicle. WARNINGS remind
you to be especially careful in those areas where carelessness can cause personal in ¬
jury. The following list contains some general WARNINGS that you should follow
when you work on a vehicle.
• Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.

•Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle.
•Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise re ¬
quired by the procedure .

•mission
Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle. If you have an automatic trans
, set it in PARK. If you have a manual transmission, it should be in RE
¬
VERSE. Place wood blocks of a 4" x 4" size or larger to the front and rear surfaces
of the tires to provide further restraint from inadvertent vehicle movement.
•Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon
monoxide.
• ning
Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts, when the engine is run
fan
¬
, especially the and belts.

•To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator,
exhaust manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
•Do not smoke while working on a vehicle.
•To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry, and loose
clothing before beginning to work on a vehicle.
•Keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades. The electric cooling
fan on the 2.3L turbocharged engine can start to at any time by an increase
operate
in underhood temperatures, even though the ignition is in the OFF position. The
Tempo /Topaz, Escort / Lynx and EXP electric cooling fan can start at any time for
the same reason, but only when the ignition switch is in the ON position. Therefore,
care should be taken to ensure that the electric cooling fan motor is completely
disconnected when working under the hood.

7. Be sure vehicle doors are shut whenever readings are made.
8. Check radiator cold fill level, then start engine and idle until the upper radiator hose is
hot and pressurized and the throttle is off fast idle. (NOTE: Observe the cooling system
for normal operation during this time, i.e., long warm-up time, overtemp, etc. and if
necessary correct.)

(CFI ) How To Use This Diagnostic Procedure
Test

This diagnostic procedure is only used on Electronic Engine Control (EEC -Ill) equipped vehicles
and only when the Diagnostic Routines in Section 2 instruct you to perform EEC -Ill
Q5 CHECK FOR POWER TO FUEL PUMP(S) Diagnostics. Most of the time the Quick Test can detect total engine system malfunctions that

are both EEC System related and non - EEC System related. The Quick Test accomplishes this

the malfunction is EEC System related, the Pinpoint testing will result with the correct malfunc ¬

Under 6V GO to [ 06 ] related, the Quick Test will detect an improper engine malfunction, and the ensuing Pinpoint
testing may incorrectly indicate an EEC System component as being responsible. To prevent
• LOS button ON TO FUEL PUMP RELAY 6V or more GOto | Q14 | EEC Pinpoint testing from misdiagnosing an EEC System component when a non - EEC System
failure has actually occurred, attention should be paid to Diagnostic Routines, Section 2. Refer
to Fig. 1 for detailed information on how to use this diagnostic procedure.

Under 10V GO to [ Q6 l
To test and service the EEC-Ill subsystem, perform the Quick Test fi rst, and, if the vehicle passes the
Quick Test without running any Pinpoint Tests, you will know the EEC-Ill subsystem is OK and the
vehicle’s problem exists somewhere else other than in the EEC-Ill subsystem. However, if a step of
10 V or more GO to [ Q14| the Quick Test fails, run only the Pinpoint Tests specified by the failed step.
sfe TO FUEL PUMP

If any service to the vehicle is to be performed while running the Quick Test or Pinpoint Tests, do
only those services that are specified in either test.
Q 6 CHECK FOR POWER TO INERTIA
