DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SYSTEMS
The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system consists of the following:
 Power Transfer Unit (PTU)

 Rear driveshaft
 4X4 control module (coupling device control module) (located behind the RH side instrument panel)
 Rear axle with coupling device
Torque from the engine is transferred through the transaxle to the PTU. This torque is transferred from the
driveshaft to the rear axle, which drives the rear halfshafts. The AWD system, referred to as an Active Torque
Coupling (ATC) system, is always active and requires no driver input.
The AWD system continuously monitors vehicle conditions and automatically adjusts the torque distribution
between the front and rear wheels. During normal operation, most of the torque is delivered to the front wheels.
If wheel slip between the front and rear wheels is detected, or if the vehicle is under heavy acceleration, the
AWD system increases torque to the rear wheels to prevent or control wheel slip.

Serviceable components of the PTU are limited to the output shaft seal and flange, intermediate shaft seal and
deflector, and the PTU-transaxle compression seal. No internal components are serviced. There should be no
need to remove the PTU cover. If any of the internal geared components, bearings, case cover or shafts are worn
or damaged, a new PTU must be installed.

Principles of Operation
The vehicle is equipped with a four wheel drive (4WD) system, also referred to as active torque control
coupling (ATCC) or intelligent torque control coupling (ITCC) , that is always active and requires no driver
input. The system has no mode select switch. The system combines transparent all-surface operation with all
wheel drive (AWD), and is capable of handling all road conditions, including street and highway driving as well
as off-road and winter driving.
The system continuously monitors vehicle conditions and automatically adjusts the torque distribution between
the front and rear wheels. During normal operation, most of the torque is sent to the front wheels. If wheel slip
between the front and rear wheels is detected, or if the vehicle is under heavy acceleration (high-throttle
position), the AWD system increases torque to the rear wheels to prevent or control wheel slip.

The system consists of a power transfer unit (PTU), 4X4 control module, rear axle and a solenoid-actuated
ATCC device. The module varies the torque sent to the rear wheels by controlling the current sent to the clutch
located inside the rear axle.
The 4X4 control module also provides the brake system with its current clutch duty cycle and whether or not
the brake system may take command of the clutch duty cycle.
NOTE: The ATCC solenoid is not repairable. If a new component is required, the ATCC
solenoid and rear axle are installed as an assembly. Refer to REAR DRIVE
AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL article.
The PTU is a gearbox that attaches to the transaxle. The RH intermediate shaft passes through the PTU and
engages the differential side gear as in normal front wheel drive (FWD) applications. The transaxle differential
drives the PTU. The PTU then drives the driveshaft at all times. The driveshaft drives one half of the rear axle
clutch pack. The other half of the rear axle clutch pack drives the rear axle ring and pinion.
The active, on-demand AWD system uses data from other systems as inputs to the 4X4 control module. The
4X4 control module uses the inputs to determine the appropriate amount of current to send to the ATCC
solenoid that delivers the desired torque to the rear wheels. Specific inputs to the 4X4 control module are:
 Accelerator pedal position via the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN)
 Transaxle range from the PCM via the HS-CAN
 Brake system status from the ABS module via the HS-CAN
 Wheel speed from all 4 wheels from the ABS module via the HS-CAN
4X4 control module outputs are:
 Solid-state clutch (pulse-width modulated signal) to the ATCC solenoid

 Percent of torque transfer commanded signal to the ABS module via the HS-CAN
 Torque request available signal to the ABS module via the HS-CAN
Heat Protection Mode - During very extreme off-road operation, the AWD system utilizes a heat protection
mode to protect the active torque control coupling (ATCC) solenoid (part of rear axle) from damage. If the
system detects an overheat condition, it enters a locked mode. If the heat in the system continues to rise once in
the locked mode, the 4X4 control module disables the ATCC solenoid. Allow the system to cool down at least
10 minutes with the ignition switch in the ON position.

ANTI-LOCK CONTROL
ABS With Roll Stability Control (RSC) And Traction Control
The ABS with roll stability control (RSC) and traction control consists of the following components:
 Hydraulic control unit (HCU)

 ABS module (also controls the RSC system and traction control system)
 Stability/traction control switch
 Steering angle sensor module (SASM)
 Stability control sensor cluster (contains the accelerometer[s], roll rate sensor and yaw rate sensor)
 Front wheel speed sensors
 Front wheel speed sensor tone rings (integral to the halfshafts)
 Rear wheel speed sensors
 Rear wheel speed sensor tone rings are:
 integral to the halfshaft on all wheel drive [AWD] vehicles.
 integral to the wheel hub and bearing assembly on front wheel drive [FWD] vehicles.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Brake pressure transducer (integral to the HCU)

 Brake fluid level switch
The ABS prevents wheel lock-up by monitoring the wheel speed sensors and actuating the valves in the HCU
which modulates the brake pressure to the brake calipers. By preventing the wheels from locking up, the driver
is able to maintain steering control and stop in the shortest possible distance under most conditions. The traction
control system utilizes the same components as the ABS to prevent wheel spin and help maintain vehicle
control during acceleration. The RSC system utilizes the same components as the ABS and the traction control
systems and also monitors the steering wheel rotation sensor and the stability control sensor cluster to assist in
stabilizing the vehicle during abrupt maneuvers.
The front wheel speed sensor tone rings are integral to the front halfshafts. Refer to FRONT DRIVE
HALFSHAFTS article.
On AWD vehicles, the rear wheel speed sensor tone rings are integral to the rear halfshafts. Refer to REAR
DRIVE HALFSHAFTS article.
On FWD vehicles, the rear wheel speed sensor tone rings are integral to the wheel hub and bearing assembly.
Refer to REAR SUSPENSION article.

Standard ABS
The standard ABS module manages anti-lock braking to maintain vehicle control during deceleration.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the ABS module does a preliminary electrical check and, at
approximately 20 km/h (12 mph), the hydraulic pump motor is turned on for approximately 1/2 second. During
this time a buzzing or humming noise may be heard and a vibration maybe felt in the brake pedal. This is a
normal condition. Any malfunction of the ABS disables the stability assist and the ABS warning indicator
illuminates. However, the power-assist braking system functions normally.
The ABS module monitors and compares the rotational speed of each wheel. Wheel speeds are measured by the
wheel speed sensor, which electrically senses each tooth of the sensor ring as it passes through the magnetic
field of the sensor. When the ABS module detects an impending wheel lock, the ABS module commands the
hydraulic pump motor on and commands the hydraulic control unit (HCU) to open and close the appropriate
solenoid valves to modulate the brake pressure to the individual brake caliper(s). Once the affected wheel(s)
return to the desired speed, the ABS module commands the HCU to return the solenoid valves to their normal
position and normal base brake operation is restored.
In extreme cold conditions (temperature less than -25°C [-13°F]), the ABS module will briefly operate the
hydraulic pump motor when the accelerator is pressed. This is done to warm the brake fluid.
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
On initial application of the brake pedal, full pressure is applied to the rear brakes. The ABS module then uses
wheel speed input to calculate an estimated rate of deceleration. Once vehicle deceleration exceeds a
predetermined threshold, the ABS module closes the appropriate isolation valves in the Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU) to hold the rear brake pressure constant while allowing the front brake pressure to build. This creates a
balanced braking condition between the front and rear wheels and minimizes the chance of rear wheel lockup
during hard braking. As the vehicle decelerates, the valves are opened to increase the rear brake pressure in
proportion to the front brake pressure.
A slight bump sensation may be felt in the brake pedal when Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) is active.
If ABS is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, EBD will continue to function unless the
DTCs are for wheel speed sensors or the HCU. When EBD is disabled, the ABS warning indicator and (if
equipped) the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning indicator will be illuminated.
ABS with Traction Control, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Roll Stability Control (RSC)
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The ABS module with traction control and roll stability control (RSC) performs the same functions as the
standard ABS module. It also performs additional functions specific to traction control and RSC.
Traction Control
When the drive wheels lose traction and begin to spin, with vehicle speed under 100 km/h (62 mph), the ABS
module commands the hydraulic pump motor on and commands the HCU to open and close the appropriate
solenoid valves to modulate the brake pressure to the brake caliper(s) while simultaneously sending a request to
the PCM over the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN) bus to reduce engine torque to maintain
vehicle traction. The PCM accomplishes this by minor incremental timing changes and fewer fuel injector
pulses until the ABS module ends the request. The request ends when the driven wheel speed returns to the
desired speed. After the vehicle speed exceeds 100 km/h (62 mph), the traction control is accomplished only
through the PCM torque control.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The electronic stability control (ESC) system constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the intended
course. This is done by using sensors to compare the steering input and the yaw rate sensor with that of the
actual vehicle motion. The ESC system monitors information from the throttle position (TP) sensor, the steering
angle sensor module (SASM) (steering wheel angle and rate of change) and a yaw rate sensor (integral to the
stability control sensor cluster) that measures changes in vehicle direction. If the ESC system determines from
all these inputs that the vehicle is unable to travel in the intended direction, the system adjusts the brake torque
at specific wheels in response to direct measurement of the vehicle motion and reduces engine torque to allow
the vehicle to follow the intended course.
When the ESC system activates, any of the following can occur:
 A rumble or grinding sound much like ABS or traction control

 A small deceleration or a reduction in the acceleration of the vehicle
 The ESC indicator flashes
 If the driver's foot is on the brake pedal, a vibration will be felt in the pedal much like ABS
Roll Stability Control (RSC)
The roll stability control (RSC) system constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the intended course.
This is done by using sensors to compare the steering input and brake application with that of the actual vehicle
motion. The system does not activate when the vehicle is traveling in reverse; however, the standard ABS and
traction control continue to function as usual. The RSC system monitors information from the wheel speed
sensors, the TP sensor, the steering angle sensor module (SASM) (steering wheel angle and rate of change) and
a roll-rate sensor (integral to the stability control sensor cluster) that measures changes in vehicle motion. If the
RSC system determines from all these inputs that conditions exist for a potential roll-over event, the system
adjusts the brake torque at specific wheels in response to direct measurement of the vehicle roll motion and
reduces engine torque to make the vehicle more stable. By adjusting brake torque, the system can reduce the
cornering forces and, therefore, the total roll moment acting on the vehicle.
When the RSC system activates, any of the following can occur:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 A rumble or grinding sound much like ABS or traction control

 A small deceleration or a reduction in the acceleration of the vehicle
 The RSC indicator flashes
 If the driver's foot is on the brake pedal, a vibration will be felt in the pedal much like ABS
 If the event is severe enough and the driver's foot is not on the brake, the brake pedal will move to apply
higher brake forces. A whooshing sound can also be heard from under the instrument panel in an event
this severe
Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the system checks itself. The brake pedal
moves when an active test of the brake booster is run. During this test a small amount of pressure is generated at
the master cylinder, but no pressure is generated in the brake calipers.
Stability/Traction Control Switch
The stability/traction control switch is hard wired to the instrument cluster module. The instrument cluster
module communicates the stability/traction control switch status to the ABS module via the HS-CAN bus.
The stability/traction control switch allows the driver to control use of the stability control/traction assist
system. This is independent of the ABS function, which cannot be switched OFF by the driver. The stability
control/traction assist system status is indicated by a light in the stability/traction control switch. When the
stability/traction control switch is set to OFF, the system is disabled below 60 km/h (37 mph). The system will
automatically restore to full functionality every time the vehicle speed exceeds 70 km/h (43 mph) or when the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position and back to the ON position. However, the stability/traction
control switch OFF indicator remains illuminated until the switch is pressed. The ABS function continues to
work as designed unless the yellow ABS warning indicator is also illuminated. Normal braking function always
occurs, unless the red brake warning indicator is illuminated.
Stability Control Sensor Cluster
The stability control sensor cluster consists of the yaw rate sensor, roll-rate sensor, lateral accelerometer and
longitudinal accelerometer. The lateral accelerometer measures the acceleration which corresponds to the force
involved when the vehicle slides sideways. This acceleration has 2 forms. The first is the centrifugal
acceleration which is generated when the vehicle travels around in a circle. The second is the acceleration due to
gravity. On level ground there is no contribution from this acceleration. However, if the vehicle is parked
sideways on a bank or incline, the sensor measures some lateral acceleration due to gravity even though the
vehicle is not moving.
The longitudinal accelerometer measures the acceleration corresponding to the force involved when the vehicle
moves forward and rearward in the horizontal plane, along the centerline of the front and rear wheels.
The yaw rate sensor measures the relative vehicle motion about the vertical axis through its center of gravity.
The roll-rate sensor measures the rate of rotation along the front to rear horizontal axis.
Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM)
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The steering angle sensor module (SASM) measures the rate of rotation of the steering wheel by monitoring the
steering wheel rotation ring as it passes through the sensor gap. The SASM uses the HS-CAN bus to transmit
information to the ABS module about whether the steering wheel is being turned left or right and how far it is
being turned.
ABS Module Configuration
A new ABS module must be configured after installation. Refer to Programmable Module Installation in
MODULE CONFIGURATION article. If installing a new ABS module with RSC, the module must also be
calibrated.
ABS Module Calibration
NOTE: The installation of a new stability control sensor cluster does not require ABS
module calibration.
The ABS module must be calibrated if any of the following is occurring or have occurred:
 A new ABS module has been installed.

 A new HCU has been installed.
 A new steering wheel rotation sensor has been installed.
 The ABS warning indicator in the instrument cluster flashes once every 2 seconds.
Follow the scan tool directions for ABS module calibration. The ABS module should be configured before it is
calibrated. Calibration is required for the ABS module to learn the "at rest" or "zero" position of the stability
control components. If a DTC is set for any stability control component, the DTC must be cleared before
carrying out the calibration procedure. The ESC warning indicator will flash after clearing the DTCs that are
associated with the stability control system. If a DTC is retrieved after calibration, refer to the ABS MODULE
DTC CHART .
Stability Control Sensor Cluster Calibration
When a new stability control sensor cluster is installed, the cluster must be calibrated. Follow the scan tool
instructions for the calibration procedure. When carrying out the cluster calibration, the vehicle must be on a
level surface, must not be moving and the ignition switch must be in the RUN position.
Inspection And Verification
1. Verify the customer concern by applying the brakes under different conditions.
2. Verify the base brake system operates correctly by pressing and releasing the brake pedal with the
ignition switch in the OFF position. If the stoplamps do not operate correctly, refer to EXTERIOR

Pinpoint Test C: DTCs C1145, C1155, C1165 and C1175 - Wheel Speed Sensor Input Circuit Failure
Normal Operation
The wheel speed sensors generate a square wave signal that is sent to the ABS module. The wheel speed sensor
circuitry connects to the ABS module through 2 wires and a connector at each wheel speed sensor. When the
ignition is turned to the RUN position, the ABS module carries out a self-test to determine if the sensors are
functional. Voltage is supplied to the active wheel speed sensors from the ABS module. The wheel speed sensor
ground is supplied by the ABS module.
Wheel speed sensor DTCs will automatically clear when a successful test drive is carried out. A successful test
drive should include speeds above 32 km/h (20 mph) and at least one ABS stop.

circuitry connects to the ABS module through 2 wires and a connector at each wheel speed sensor. When the
ignition is turned to the RUN position, the ABS module carries out a self-test to determine if the sensors are
functional. Voltage is supplied to the active wheel speed sensors from the ABS module. The wheel speed sensor
ground is supplied by the ABS module.
Wheel speed sensor DTCs will automatically clear when a successful test drive is carried out. A successful test
drive should include speeds above 32 km/h (20 mph) and at least one ABS stop.

Normal Operation
The ABS module monitors the brake pressure transducer in combination with other brake inputs; wheel speed
sensors, stoplamp switch from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus, lateral
accelerometer from the sensor cluster. The pressure transducer signal is used by the ABS module for various
diagnostic routines as well as to determine system functionality. The pressure transducer is located inside the
Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) and can be monitored via the master cylinder pressure (MC_PRESS) PID. The
PID should correlate closely with system hydraulic pressure. When the vehicle is at rest without input from the
brake pedal, this PID value should be at or close to 0 kPa (0 psi). However, due to factors such as vehicle age or
minor discrepancies in manufacturing, PID readings may have some variability. If the transducer signal reads
above 620 kPa (90 psi) when other inputs indicate the system should not be pressurized, DTC C1288 will be
set. If the transducer requires service, a new HCU must be installed.

Normal Operation
The traction control switch is hard wired to the instrument cluster, traction control system status is indicated by
an indicator in the instrument cluster. When the driver deactivates the traction assist system, the instrument
cluster sends a message to the PCM and the ABS module over the high-speed controller area network (HS-
CAN) bus. The traction assist system will remain deactivated until the driver pushes the switch again or until
the ignition switch is cycled.
The instrument cluster sends a reference voltage to the stability/traction control switch along circuit CCA15
(YE/GY). When the switch is pressed, the reference voltage is momentarily grounded through the switch along
circuit GD116 (BK/VT).

AIR BAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
The air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to provide increased collision protection for front
seat and second row outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the 3-point safety belt system. Safety
belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantage of the SRS.
This vehicle contains dual-stage deployment (advanced restraint system) driver and front passenger air bag
modules. These vehicles are also equipped with driver and front passenger safety belt retractor pretensioners as
well as safety canopies. These canopies deploy from the A-pillar to the C-pillar during a side impact or if a
rollover condition is detected. Vehicles with safety canopies are also equipped with seat side air bag modules in
the front seats. Seat side air bag modules deploy from the outboard front seat backrest during a side impact. A
unique restraints control module (RCM) that detects a potential rollover condition is another standard feature.
In addition, there are 2 front impact severity sensors mounted to the hood latch bracket, 2 first row side impact
sensors mounted near the base of the B-pillar and 2 second row impact sensors mounted near the base of the C-

2008 Ford Edge SE
pillar. A seat position sensor mounted to the driver seat and a usage detection switch is added to the front driver
and passenger outboard buckles.
Vehicles are also equipped with an occupant classification sensor (OCS) system mounted to the front passenger
seat track assembly. The weight of any occupant or object on the front passenger seat is electronically
communicated to the occupant classification system module (OCSM). The RCM uses this information in
determining if the passenger air bag module or passenger seat side air bag module is to be deployed in the event
of a deployable collision.
The OCS system includes 4 OCS weight sensor bolts, OCSM and a passenger air bag deactivation (PAD)
indicator lamp.

System (IDS)
The supplemental restraint system (SRS) consists of a driver and passenger air bag module, safety belt retractor
pretensioners and safety canopies (containing an inflator/squib or gas generator and an air bag), impact sensors,
a restraints control module (RCM), a clockspring, an air bag warning indicator, occupant classification sensor
(OCS) system and a passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator lamp. These components are all
interconnected by a wiring harness and powered by the vehicle's battery. The RCM includes a backup power
supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy the SRS in the event that the ignition circuit is
lost or damaged during impact. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one
minute after the battery ground cable is disconnected. If a SRS fault exists, the air bag warning indicator will
illuminate and remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. In addition to the self-test at start up, the RCM
continuously monitors all of its external and internal circuitry for faults.
In a frontal collision, the impact sensors located in the front of the vehicle detect the sudden deceleration and
send an electrical signal to the RCM. The RCM uses the information from the impact sensors and the OCS
system in the deployment determination. If the RCM determines that deployment is required, the RCM sends
voltage and current to the squib(s) causing the solid chemical propellant to undergo a rapid chemical reaction.
This controlled reaction produces harmless nitrogen gas that fills the air bag(s)/safety canopies and/or activates
the safety belt pretensioners to remove slack from the safety belt(s).
The RCM communicates through the data link connector (DLC) the current and historical DTCs on the high-
speed controller area network (HS-CAN). The RCM also communicates over the HS-CAN to the instrument
cluster (IC) module, PCM and the occupant classification system module (OCSM).
Air Bag Warning Indicator
The air bag warning indicator:
 is located in the instrument cluster (IC) module.

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 lamp and circuitry prove out is a function of the IC module. The IC module will prove out the air bag
warning indicator by lighting the air bag warning indicator for 6 seconds and then turn off.
 will flash and/or illuminate based on the message the IC module receives from the RCM.
 will illuminate if the IC module does not receive a message from the RCM.
Air Bag Module Second Stage Deployment Check
Because the driver and passenger front air bags each have 2 deployment stages, it is possible that Stage 1 has
deployed and Stage 2 has not.
If a front air bag module has deployed, it is mandatory that the front air bag module be remotely deployed
using the appropriate air bag disposal procedure.
 For information on driver air bag module and/or passenger air bag module remote deployment, refer to
Pyrotechnic Device Disposal.
Clockspring
The clockspring:
 is mounted on the steering column, behind the steering wheel.

 allows for continuous electrical connections between the driver air bag module and the restraints control
module (RCM) when the steering wheel is turned.
Driver Air Bag Module
The driver air bag module:
 is installed as an assembly.
 is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
 cannot be interchanged between Edge and MKX vehicles.
High-Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
This vehicle utilizes a communication system called a high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN). The HS-
CAN consists of a twisted pair of wires connected to the following:
 ABS module
 Instrument cluster (IC) module
 PCM
 Transmission control module (TCM)
 Restraints control module (RCM)
 Occupant classification system module (OCSM)
 Air suspension (vehicle dynamics module [VDM]) (if equipped)
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Data link connector (DLC)
The HS-CAN circuits use a bias voltage of approximately 2.5 volts, one is a positive 2.5 volts while the other is
a negative 2.5 volts. The HS-CAN also uses 2 terminating resistors, one contained within the PCM, the other in
the IC module. The terminating resistors are not serviced separately. The terminating resistors have a value of
120 ohms each, for a normal operating system total of 60 ohms. The HS-CAN may operate with only one
terminating resistor and may communicate some messages to some of the control modules with only one circuit
functioning. Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.
Impact Sensors
WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module
(RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for
deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original
production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed
whether or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
For this vehicle line, the supplemental restraint system (SRS) uses 6 satellite sensors in addition to the restraints
control module (RCM). The RCM is mounted to the center tunnel beneath the console. All vehicles have 2 front
impact severity sensors located in the front-center area of the vehicle, behind the grille mounted on the hood
latch bracket. The first row impact sensors are mounted behind the trim panel near the floor on the B-pillar, the
second row sensors are located on each C-pillar. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all
impact sensors.
Loops/Squibs
All deployable devices contain an initiating device called a squib. The squib is part of the deployment loop. Air
bag/safety canopy modules can contain more than one squib, some vehicles may have up to 4 squibs in one air
bag module. Squibs are often referred to as loops during the diagnostic process.
Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System
The occupant classification sensor (OCS) system is found only on the front passenger seat. The front passenger
OCS system is comprised of the following: 4 OCS weight sensor bolts that are mounted to each corner of the
seat track and an occupant classification system module (OCSM) which is mounted to the electrical bracket
underneath the seat cushion pan. All the components that make up the OCS system are all serviced separately.
The weight of any occupant or object on the front passenger seat is electronically communicated to the OCSM.
The RCM uses this information in determining if the passenger air bag module or passenger seat side air bag
module is to be deployed in the event of a deployable collision.
The OCSM will inform the restraints control module (RCM), via a high-speed controller area network (HS-
CAN), of the weight of any occupant or object on the front passenger seat.
The OCSM monitors the OCS system for faults and communicates on-demand and continuous DTCs via the
data link connector (DLC) with the use of a scan tool.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The OCS system is also used for operation of the passenger Belt-Minder®. For information on the passenger
Belt-Minder® feature, refer to SAFETY BELT SYSTEM article. To deactivate or reactivate the passenger
Belt-Minder® feature, refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC), MESSAGE CENTER & WARNING
CHIMES article or the Owner's Literature.
When the front passenger seat is removed for service, the Zero Seat Weight Test must be carried out after the
installation of the front passenger seat. When an OCS system component is installed new, the System Reset
must be carried out after the installation of the front passenger seat. The Zero Seat Weight Test and/or System
Reset must be carried out only as instructed to do so in the appropriate service information. For information on
the Zero Seat Weight Test and/or System Reset, refer to Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Zero
Seat Weight Test or Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset.
In the event of a deployable crash, a new passenger seat track with OCS weight sensor bolts must be installed.
DTC B1231 must be cleared before carrying out Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset.
Refer to Occupant Classification Sensor - Manual Seat Track or Occupant Classification Sensor - Power
Seat Track.
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) Indicator
The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) indicator is a visual indicator used to inform the front seat occupants
of the passenger air bag deactivation state. The PAD indicator is a stand-alone lamp installed into the vehicle
instrument panel in a position visible to each front seat occupant.
The restraints control module (RCM) controls the state of the PAD indicator through a direct hardwire
connection, based on information provided by the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system. The PAD
indicator illuminates to indicate the passenger air bag module is disabled. An exemption to this is when the
front passenger seat is determined to be empty and the passenger safety belt is unbuckled, therefore indication
of a deactivated passenger air bag module is not necessary. In all other cases, the PAD indicator is unlit when
the passenger air bag module is enabled.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the PAD indicator prove-out period is initiated by the RCM.
The RCM briefly activates the PAD indicator to prove-out the indicator function and verify to the front
occupants correct functional operation of the PAD indicator.
When the OCSM detects a fault that causes DTC B2290 and/or B1013 to set on-demand in the OCS system, the
OCSM sends a message to the RCM. Upon receiving the fault message from the OCSM, the RCM disables the
passenger air bag module, illuminates the PAD indicator indicating the passenger air bag module is disabled
and sends a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator. The
passenger air bag module will remain disabled until the cause for the on-demand DTC has been corrected.
The following table indicates the passenger air bag status and the PAD indicator status based the size of the
front outboard passenger occupant.

Passenger Air Bag Module
The passenger air bag module:
 is mounted in the passenger side of the instrument panel.
 cannot be interchanged between Edge and MKX vehicles.
Restraints Control Module (RCM)
WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position
of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and
the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
the accidental deployment of the safety canopy and cause serious
personal injury or death.
NOTE: Prior to removal of the restraints control module (RCM) module, it is necessary
to upload module configuration information to the scan tool. This information
needs to be downloaded into the new RCM module once installed. Refer to
MODULE CONFIGURATION article. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in incorrect operation of the supplemental restraint system (SRS) and
may cause system failure.
NOTE: When installing a new restraints control module (RCM), always make sure the
correct RCM is being installed. If an incorrect RCM is installed, erroneous DTCs
will result.
The RCM carries out the following functions:
 deploys the air bag(s)/safety canopies in the event of a deployable collision.

 activates the safety belt retractor pretensioners to remove slack from the safety belt in the event of a
deployable collision.
 monitors the supplemental restraint system (SRS) for faults.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 sends a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator if a fault
is detected.
 communicates through the data link connector (DLC) the current or historical DTCs.
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected, the RCM will request illumination of the
air bag warning indicator.
When the ignition is cycled (turned OFF and then ON), the IC module will prove out the air bag warning
indicator by lighting for 6 seconds and then turn off. If a current SRS fault exists, the RCM requests
illumination of the air bag warning indicator and will remain illuminated for the rest of the key cycle. During
that same key cycle, some faults that recover (Loss of Communication with the PCM), the RCM will send a
request to the IC module to turn the air bag warning indicator off IF no other fault is present. The RCM will
also communicate the on-demand (current) and continuous (historical) DTCs through the DLC, to the scan tool.
If the RCM requests illumination of the air bag warning indicator and the air bag warning indicator does not
function, the IC module will automatically activate an audible chime. The chime is a series of 5 sets of 5 tone
bursts. If the chime is heard, the SRS and the air bag warning indicator require repair.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy the air bags
in the event that the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup power supply will deplete its
stored energy approximately one minute after power and/or ground has been removed from the RCM.
Safety Belt Buckle Switches
As part of the supplemental restraint system (SRS), the driver and front passenger safety belt buckles are
equipped with safety belt buckle switches. The safety belt buckle switches indicate to the restraints control
module (RCM) whether the safety belts are connected or disconnected. The RCM uses this information in
determining the deployment of the dual-stage driver and passenger air bag modules.
Safety Belt Pretensioners
As part of the supplemental restraint system (SRS), the driver and front passenger safety belt retractors are
equipped with pretensioners. The safety belt retractor pretensioners remove excess slack from the safety belt
webbing. The pretensioners are activated by the restraints control module (RCM) when the module detects a
collision exceeding a programmed limit.
Safety Canopy Module
Vehicles are equipped with safety canopies for protection during side impacts or rollovers.
Safety canopies require a specific headliner. The word AIRBAG will appear on the headliner where it meets
each B-pillar trim panel.
The safety canopy module:
 is mounted above the headliner.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 attaches from the A-pillar frame to the C-pillar frame.

 is standard equipment.
 cannot be interchanged from side-to-side.
Seat Track Position Sensor
The seat track position sensor is mounted to a bracket attached to the inboard side of the driver seat track. The
seat track position sensor informs the restraints control module (RCM) of the driver seat position. The RCM
uses this information in determining the deployment of the dual-stage driver air bag module.
Side Air Bag Module
NOTE: References to side air bag modules refer to the seat side air bag module, not to
the steering wheel or instrument panel mounted air bag components of the
supplemental restraint system (SRS).
A side air bag module provides protection of the thorax area (between the neck and abdomen) of the body,
working in conjunction with the head protection provided by a safety canopy module.
The side air bag module:
 will deploy upon receiving a flow of current from the restraints control module (RCM), initiated by the
side impact sensor and internal RCM circuitry.
 is mounted in the driver or passenger seat backrest.
 is used in conjunction with a safety canopy module.
Secondary Air Bag Warning (Chime)
The secondary air bag warning, is an audible tone controlled by the instrument cluster (IC) module. If a fault is
detected with the air bag warning indicator a DTC will be stored in memory of the IC module. Upon receiving
the message from the restraints control module (RCM) that a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault has been
detected, the IC module will sound the secondary air bag warning chime in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps.
Diagnostic Instructions
The symptom chart can be used to help locate supplemental restraint system (SRS) concerns if no DTCs are
retrieved and the listed symptoms are observed. Whether or not the listed symptoms are observed, always carry
out the following:
1. Run the Self Test to determine what on-demand and continuous memory DTCs are being sensed by the
restraints control module (RCM) and occupant classification system module (OCSM).
2. Retrieve all SRS DTCs and fault PIDs stored in the RCM and OCSM memory.
3. If on-demand DTCs are different than continuous memory DTCs, always diagnose the on-demand DTCs
first.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
A DTC can indicate several concerns. The DTCs are to assist in system diagnosis and are not to be
considered definitive. Always refer to the pinpoint test corresponding to the DTC to determine where the
concern lies and to repair the concern correctly.
Diagnostic Test Options
Scan tool options:
 Self Test/On-Demand
 Self Test/Continuous Memory and Clear DTCs
Refer to the manufacturer's literature for the scan tool being used for correct scan tool test options.
Self Test/On-Demand
The on-demand Self Test option is used to verify that no electrical concerns exist with the air bag supplemental
restraint system (SRS). Upon entering the self-test, the restraints control module (RCM) and the occupant
classification system module (OCSM) will make an electrical check of each electrical component in the system.
If a concern is detected, a DTC is displayed on the scan tool with a brief description of the DTC. The self-test
should always be carried out after any repair to verify that the repair was successful.
To run the on-demand Self Test, follow these steps:
1. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the scan tool being used.
4. Select Self-Test.
5. Select RCM or OCSM.
6. The module will run the self-test and display on-demand (reflecting hard system concerns) and
continuous memory (historic) DTCs on the scan tool.
Self Test/Continuous Memory and Clear DTCs
During vehicle operation, the restraints control module (RCM) and the occupant classification system module
(OCSM) will detect and store on-demand (reflecting hard system concerns) and continuous memory (historic)
DTCs. The DTC strategy employed by the RCM incorporates a time-out scheme for determining when a
concern exists in the system. This requires a concern may exist for up to one minute in the system before the
RCM will detect it. For the RCM to determine that a concern no longer exists, the concern must be absent for
up to one minute. The actual detection time-outs vary with each DTC. DTCs can be retrieved with a scan tool
using the Self Test option. All DTCs stored in the RCM and OCSM will be displayed on the scan tool along
with a brief description of the DTC. If no DTCs are present, the scan tool will display a SYSTEM PASSED
message. This option can also be used to clear DTCs from the RCM and OCSM memory, as long as the concern
no longer exists.
Once 75 hours of operation have been recorded by the RCM/OCSM since the concern was last detected, all
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
continuous memory DTCs will automatically be removed from memory.
To retrieve or clear DTCs, follow these steps:

4. Select Self Test.
5. Select RCM or OCSM (selecting Restraints retrieves DTCs from both modules).
NOTE: Before proceeding with the clearing operation, make note of the DTCs
displayed. Once cleared, continuous DTCs cannot be retrieved.
6. All DTCs will be displayed on the screen.

7. Clear the DTCs. After clearing the DTCs, cycle the ignition OFF, then ON.
 Continuous memory DTCs that have been cleared will not reoccur as "continuous memory" in the
same key cycle. Only new DTCs which were not present before clearing can occur as "continuous
memory" after clearing.
Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Zero Seat Weight Test
The Zero Seat Weight Test verifies the occupant classification sensor (OCS) measures zero weight for an empty
seat. It is necessary to carry out the Zero Seat Weight Test any time the front passenger seat is serviced or
removed from the vehicle or as directed in the service information procedures. Refer to Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) System Zero Seat Weight Test.
Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset
The System Reset active command resets the zero point of the occupant classification sensor (OCS) system.
The System Reset active command should only be carried out if a new OCS component is installed or as
directed by service information .
DataLogger PID/Data
The DataLogger PID/Data option allows the scan tool operator to read the state of several PIDs to aid in
diagnosing the system. PIDs are real time measurements of parameters, such as voltages and resistances,
calculated by the restraints control module (RCM) or the occupant classification system module (OCSM) and
sent to the scan tool for display. Many of the PIDs supported by the modules are calculated periodically and are,
therefore, not true real time readings.
To retrieve PIDs, follow these steps:

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
4. Select DataLogger.
5. Select RCM or OCSM.
Active Commands
System Reset
System Reset active command sets the zero set point or rezeros the occupant classification sensor (OCS). Refer
to Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) System Reset.
Zero Seat Weight Test
The Zero Seat Weight Test verifies the OCS measures zero weight for an empty seat. Refer to Occupant
Classification Sensor (OCS) System Zero Seat Weight Test.
Instrument Cluster (IC) Module
These commands allow the technician to verify the operation of instrument cluster (IC) module components and
subsystems.
Lamp Fault Codes (LFCs)
This vehicle supports lamp fault codes (LFCs) only when the restraints control module (RCM) is in plant mode.
A new RCM installed to a vehicle will be in plant mode until:
 programmable module installation (PMI) has been carried out.

 the RCM sees a fault-free supplemental restraint system (SRS) (no DTCs present).
If a LFC is present after completing PMI, a fault is present in the SRS and on-demand DTCs must be retrieved
and diagnosed.
Diagnosing Customer Concerns With On-Demand DTCs
NOTE: Most supplemental restraint system (SRS) diagnostic procedures will require
depowering and repowering of the SRS. Depowering and repowering requires
disconnecting of the battery and removal of the restraints control module (RCM)
fuse. This reduces the risk of accidental deployment of SRS components while
diagnostic procedures are being carried out.
If the air bag warning indicator is reported ON by the customer when the vehicle comes in for service, connect
the scan tool and follow the Diagnostic Instruction procedures in this service information to identify the
concern.
Once the DTC is known, read the Normal Operation of the pinpoint test for the DTC involved.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Using the scan tool with the use of PIDs and active command(s) may be of assistance in diagnosing the concern.
 Follow the depowering procedure as directed in Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering
and Repowering.
 Determine the location of components involved in creating the DTC.
 Carry out a thorough visual inspection of:
 components.
 connectors.
 splices and wiring harnesses.
 insulation on conductors.
Diagnosing Customer Concerns With Continuous Memory DTCs
If the air bag warning indicator was reported ON by the customer but is not present when the vehicle comes in
for service, follow the Diagnostic Instruction procedures in this service information to identify the intermittent
DTC.
Once the DTC is known, read the Normal Operation of the pinpoint test for the DTC involved.
 Follow the depowering procedure as directed in Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering
and Repowering.
 Determine the location of components involved in creating the DTC.
 Carry out a thorough visual inspection of:
 components.
 connectors.
 splices and wiring harnesses.
 insulation on conductors.
Refer to the Possible Causes section of the pinpoint test for the DTC involved, which lists the common concerns
that relate to the DTC. Concerns are listed according to priority.
Fault PIDs
There are 2 types of fault PIDs that can be reported by the restraints control module (RCM). The first type,
considered conventional, has only one level of fault reporting and identifies a specific concern for a given
component and points to a particular diagnostic path, example: DTC B1317 (Battery Voltage High).
The second type uses a process within the software of the controller that maps the byte and bit to name a
specific device and fault condition. This process is called Bit-mapping and referred to as fault PIDs in the
diagnosis of the vehicle. This type does not identify the specific concern or component on the first level of fault
reporting, Example: DTC B2293 (Restraint System - Airbag Fault). DTC B2293 can have up to 28 specific on-
demand fault PIDs (areas of concern) associated with this DTC.
Those associated fault PIDs are an extension of the information provided by the DTC and are identified by the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
same DTC number. A scan tool must be used to view DTCs and their fault PIDs. Once a scan tool has retrieved
a DTC, use the scan tool to view the fault PIDs. In the diagnostic path, other types of PIDs are sometimes used
to determine the root cause (example: resistance or voltage PIDs).
When viewing of fault PIDs has been carried out, the scan tool can display the PIDs associated with that DTC,
including the status or state that exists (on-demand [active] DTC) or existed (continuous memory [historic])
DTC. Refer to the manufacturer instructions for the scan tool being used on how to view fault PIDs.
Prove Out Procedure
Turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the ON position and visually monitor the air bag warning indicator
with all supplemental restraint system (SRS) components connected. The air bag warning indicator will light
continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn off. If an SRS fault is present, the air bag warning
indicator will:
 fail to light.
 remain lit continuously.
 flash.
The air bag warning indicator may not illuminate until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the restraints control module (RCM)
to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and an SRS fault exists, a
chime will sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator will need to be
repaired before diagnosis can continue.

Pinpoint Test C: DTC B1868 - Lamp Air Bag Warning Indicator Circuit Failure
Normal Operation
During normal operation, the air bag warning indicator will illuminate continuously for approximately 6
seconds and then go out after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position and no air bag fault exists. Control
of the air bag warning indicator is a function of the instrument cluster (IC) module based on information it
receives from the restraints control module (RCM) over the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN). The
default mode for the air bag warning indicator is on. The RCM sends a message to the IC module to turn the
indicator off if no air bag fault exists. If the RCM detects a problem with the supplemental restraints system
(SRS) it will send a message to the IC module to turn the air bag warning indicator on.
If the IC module detects a problem with the air bag warning indicator, it will send a fault message to the RCM
and the RCM will store DTC B1868 in memory.

Pinpoint Test G: DTC B2292 - Restraint System - Seatbelt Pretensioner Fault
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) continuously monitors the safety belt retractor pretensioner circuits for an
acceptable resistance range, unacceptable voltage and shorts to ground. The RCM will set on-demand and store
DTC B2292 in memory if any of these conditions are detected to be outside of their respectful range. If the
RCM detects a fault, it will send a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag
warning indicator.
As the RCM continuously monitors safety belt retractor pretensioner circuits for resistance, it expects a normal
resistance between 1.4 and 3.5 ohms.
If a loop resistance is between 0.9 and 1.4 or between 3.5 and 5 ohms, there exists a strong potential for an
intermittent fault, a DTC may or may not set. The RCM will also set an on-demand DTC if the loop resistance
is less than 0.9 ohm or greater than 5 ohms.

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) continuously monitors all front air bag module circuits (loop) for an

acceptable resistance range, unacceptable voltage and shorts to ground. The RCM will set on-demand and store
DTC B2293 in memory if any of these conditions are detected to be outside of their respectful range. If the
RCM detects a fault, it will send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag
warning indicator.
As the RCM continuously monitors all front air bag module circuits for resistance, it expects a normal
resistance for the driver air bag module loop 1 and 2, between 1.7 and 4.4 ohms.
The normal expected resistance for the passenger air bag module loop 1 and 2 is between 1.4 and 3.5 ohms.
If a loop resistance for the driver air bag loop 1 or 2 is between 0.9 and 1.7 or between 4.4 and 5 ohms, there
exists a strong potential for an intermittent fault, a DTC may or may not set. The RCM will also set an on-
demand DTC if the loop resistance is less than 0.9 ohm or greater than 5 ohms.
If a loop resistance for the passenger air bag loop 1 & 2 is between 0.9 and 1.4 or between 3.5 and 5 ohms, there
exists a strong potential for an intermittent fault, a DTC may or may not set. The RCM will also set an on-
demand DTC if the loop resistance is less than 0.9 ohm or greater than 5 ohms.

Pinpoint Test I: DTC B2294 - Restraint System - Curtain Fault
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) continuously monitors the driver and passenger safety canopy module
circuits (loop) for an acceptable resistance range, unacceptable voltage and shorts to ground. The RCM will set
on-demand and store DTC B2294 in memory if any of these conditions are detected to be outside of their
respectful range. If the RCM detects a fault, it will send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to
illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
As the RCM continuously monitors safety canopy module circuits for resistance, it expects a normal resistance
between 1.4 and 3.5 ohms.

Pinpoint Test J: DTC B2295 - Restraint System - Side Air Bag Fault
Normal Operation
A seat side air bag module provides protection of the thorax area (between the neck and abdomen) of the body,
working in conjunction with the head protection provided by a safety canopy module. Refer to Air Bag and
Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
The restraints control module (RCM) continuously monitors the driver and passenger side air bag module
circuits (loop) for an acceptable resistance range, unacceptable voltage and shorts to ground. The RCM will set
on-demand and store DTC B2295 in memory if any of these conditions are detected to be outside of their
respectful range. If the RCM detects a fault, it will send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to
illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
As the RCM continuously monitors side air bag module circuits for resistance, it expects a normal resistance
between 1.4 and 3.5 ohms.

3. Connect the battery ground cable.

4. Prove out the SRS as follows:
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF. Wait 10 seconds, then turn the ignition switch back to ON and
visually monitor the air bag warning indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag warning
indicator will light continuously for approximately 6 seconds and then turn OFF. If an air bag SRS fault is
present, the air bag warning indicator will:
- fail to light.
- remain lit continuously.
- flash at a 5 Hz rate (RCM not configured).
The air bag warning indicator might not light until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has
been turned from the OFF to the ON position. This is the time required for the RCM to complete the
testing of the SRS. If the air bag warning indicator is inoperative and a SRS fault exists, a chime will
sound in a pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps. If this occurs, the air bag warning indicator and any SRS fault
discovered must be diagnosed and repaired.

The transaxle selector lever linkage consists of:
 a selector lever cable that connects the transaxle manual control lever to the selector lever assembly.
 a brake shift interlock actuator (BSIA) that is integral to the selector lever assembly.
 a transmission control (TC) switch that turns off the operation of 6th gear.
The selector lever assembly:
 locks the transaxle selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
 requires the transaxle selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position.
Range Selection
This transaxle has 5 range positions: P, R, N, D and L.
Fig. 2: Identifying 5 Range Positions

Park
In the PARK position:
 there is no powerflow through the transaxle.

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 the parking pawl locks the final drive.

 the engine may be started.
 the ignition key may be removed.
Reverse
In the REVERSE position:
 the vehicle may be operated in a rearward direction, at a reduced gear ratio.

 engine braking will occur.
Neutral
In the NEUTRAL position:
 there is no powerflow through the transaxle.

 the output shaft is not held and is free to turn.
 the engine may be started.
Drive Position With Overdrive (O/D)
DRIVE is the normal position for most forward driving.
DRIVE provides:
 automatic shifts - 1st through 6th gears.

 apply and release of the torque converter clutch (TCC).
 maximum fuel economy during normal operation.
Manual L Position
This position provides:
 maximum engine braking.

 downshifts to the lowest available gear for the current vehicle speed.
Manual L position allows for 1st gear when the vehicle reaches slower speeds.
Drive with Grade Assist - Transmission Control (TC) Switch
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 3: Identifying Overdrive Switch

Drive with overdrive (O/D) cancel and grade assist is activated when the TC switch is pressed. The TC switch is
located on the selector lever knob. When the TC switch is pressed, the 6th gear or O/D upshift is prevented or
the transaxle shifts down to 5th gear. The TC switch is meant to be used when driving conditions cause
excessive shifting from 6th to other gears such as hilly terrain, mountainous areas or when engine braking is
required.
O/D Cancel
 O/D is cancelled.
 The transaxle operates in gears 1 through 5.
 The O/D OFF lamp illuminates on the instrument cluster.
Grade Assist
 Improves vehicle handling in hilly terrain or mountainous areas by providing engine braking and
extending lower gear operation on uphill climbs.
 Additional engine braking is provided through the automatic transaxle shift strategy which reacts to
vehicle inputs (vehicle acceleration, accelerator pedal, brake pedal and vehicle speed).
 The transaxle will select gears that will provide the engine braking desired, based on the vehicle inputs,
this will increase engine RPM during engine braking.
It is recommended to return to DRIVE mode on flat terrain to provide the best fuel economy and transaxle
function. The transaxle returns to O/D when the TC switch is pressed again or anytime the key is turned OFF.

Brake Shift Interlock
The brake shift interlock system consist of the:
 BSIA.
 ignition switch.
 brake pedal position (BPP) switch powered by fuse 71 (10A).
 transmission range (TR) sensor.
 instrument cluster (IC).
 fuse 5 (10A).
 smart junction box (SJB).
When the ignition switch is in RUN/START, the solenoid inhibits the selector lever movement (from the PARK
position) if the brake pedal is not depressed.

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Ignition switch position (RUN/START)

 Transmission range (TR) sensor (PARK)
 Instrument cluster (IC)
Brake Shift Interlock Operation
The BSIA inhibits the selector lever movement from the PARK position by mechanically blocking the detent
pawl of the selector lever mechanism. When the brake pedal is depressed (BPP switch closed) with the ignition
key in the RUN/START position and the transmission in PARK, the BSIA is energized by the SJB, this allows
the selector lever to be moved out of the PARK position.
Fig. 5: Identifying Brake Shift Interlock Operation

Proper Operation Requirements
Three requirements for the selector lever to be moved from the PARK position are:
 Ignition switch in the RUN/START position

 TR sensor in the PARK position
 BPP switch closed (brakes applied - brake lamps on)

Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid and FNR5 transmission fluid are not
interchangeable transmission fluids. The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended
for the transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the material specification for the correct
transmission fluid. The transmission fluid should be changed every 96,560 km (60,000 mi) regardless of
normal or special operating conditions.
CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners to clean or flush the transmission fluid cooler tubes or
transaxle damage will occur. Mineral spirits can be used to clean the transmission fluid cooler
tubes, providing the transmission fluid cooler tubes are flushed with clean transmission fluid and
blown dry with shop air. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for this transaxle and torque
converter being serviced.

TRANSAXLE COOLING
The transmission fluid cooling system consists of the following:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Oil-to-air transmission fluid cooler

 Transmission fluid cooler tube assembly
 Transmission fluid cooler thermal bypass valve
 Transmission fluid cooler outlet tube
 Transmission fluid cooler return tube
These vehicles are equipped with an external transmission fluid cooler. The transmission fluid cooler is
mounted in front of the engine radiator. The transmission fluid cooling system also consists of a transmission
fluid cooler thermal bypass valve which is mounted on the transaxle main control cover. When the transmission
fluid is below normal operating temperature, transmission fluid travels from the transaxle to the transmission
fluid cooler thermal bypass valve then back to the transaxle. When the transmission fluid is at or above normal
operating temperature, the transmission fluid cooler thermal bypass valve opens allowing transmission fluid to
travel from the transaxle through the transmission fluid cooler then back to the transaxle. The transmission fluid
cooler transfers heat from the transmission fluid to the outside air.

Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition (All Vehicles)
CAUTION: The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level indicator
shows the transmission fluid below the minimum transmission fluid level
mark or internal failure could result.
If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time, at highway speeds, in city traffic, in hot weather
or while pulling a trailer, the transmission fluid needs to cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
The transmission fluid level reading on the transmission fluid level indicator will differ depending on operating
and ambient temperatures. The correct reading should be within the normal operating temperature range.
Transmission Fluid Level Check
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
NOTE: The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating temperature 80°
C-93°C (175°F-200°F) on a level surface. Normal operating temperature can be
reached after approximately 32 km (20 mi) of driving and can be checked using
the scan tool.
Under normal circumstances the transmission fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the
transaxle starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking, the transmission fluid level
should be checked.
1. With the transaxle in PARK, the engine at idle, foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever through
each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever in the PARK position.
2. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the transmission fluid level indicator.
3. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator with a clean cloth.
4. Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully
seated, then remove the indicator. The transmission fluid level should be within the normal operating
range.

High Transmission Fluid Level
A transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the
churning action of the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of
transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transaxle malfunction and/or damage. If an overfill reading is
indicated, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - 6F50 article.
Low Transmission Fluid Level
A low transmission fluid level could result in poor transaxle engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage.
This could also indicate a leak in one of the transaxle seals or gaskets.
Adding Transmission Fluid
CAUTION: MERCON® V, MERCON® SP, Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission

Fluid, Motorcraft Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid
and FNR5 Transmission Fluid are not interchangeable transmission fluids.
The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will
cause transaxle damage.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the
transmission fluid level indicator tube. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. For transmission fluid type, refer
to the MATERIAL specification chart.
Transmission Fluid Condition Check
1. Check the transmission fluid level.

2. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances should be a dark red color, not
brown or black or have a burnt odor.
3. Hold the transmission fluid level indicator over a white facial tissue and allow the transmission fluid to
drip onto the facial tissue and examine the stain.
4. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
5. If transmission fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the
transmission fluid pan, repair the transaxle and clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes and the
transmission fluid cooler.
6. If the transaxle is to be overhauled or if installing a new transaxle, the transmission fluid cooler must be
backflushed. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - 6F50 article.

Edge & MKX
Troubleshooting an electronically controlled automatic transaxle is simplified by using the proven method of
diagnosis. One of the most important things to remember is that there is a definite procedure to follow.
Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps.
To correctly diagnose a concern, have the following publications available:
 Appropriate Transaxle articles

 Introduction - Gasoline Engines article
 TSBs
 Appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article
These publications provide the information required when diagnosing transaxle concerns.
Use the Diagnostic Flow Chart as a guide and follow the steps as indicated.
Preliminary Inspection
 Know and understand the customer's concern.

 Verify the concern by operating the vehicle.
 Check the fluid levels and condition.
 Check for non-factory add-on items.
 Check selector lever linkage for correct adjustment.
 Check TSB messages regarding the concern.
Diagnostics
 Carry out On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) procedures Key ON Engine OFF (KOEO) and Key ON Engine
Running (KOER).
 Record all DTCs.
 Repair all non-transaxle codes first.
 Repair all transaxle codes second.
 Erase all continuous codes and attempt to repeat them.

(Canada)
The following items must be checked prior to beginning the diagnostic procedures.
Know and Understand the Concern
In order to correctly diagnose a concern, first understand the customer complaint or condition. Customer contact
may be required in order to begin to verify the concern. Understand the conditions as to when the concern
occurs. For example:
 Hot or cold vehicle temperature

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
 Hot or cold ambient temperature

 Vehicle driving conditions
 Vehicle loaded/unloaded
After understanding when and how the concern occurs, proceed to verifying the concern.
Verification of Condition
This article provides information which must be used in both determining the actual cause of customer concerns
and carrying out the appropriate procedures.
The following procedures must be used when verifying customer concerns for the transmission.
Determine Customer Concern
NOTE: Some transaxle conditions may cause engine concerns. An electronic pressure
control short circuit can cause engine misfiring. The
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) not disengaging will stall the engine.
Determine customer concerns relative to vehicle use and dependent driving conditions, paying attention to the
following items:
 Hot or cold vehicle operating temperature

 Hot or cold ambient temperatures
 Type of terrain
 Vehicle loaded/unloaded
 City/highway driving
 Upshift
 Downshift
 Coasting
 Engagement
 Noise/vibration - check for dependencies, either RPM dependent, vehicle speed dependent, shift
dependent, gear dependent, range dependent or temperature dependent.
Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at highway speeds, in city traffic, in hot weather
or while pulling a trailer, the transmission fluid needs to cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
The transmission fluid level reading on the transmission fluid level indicator will differ depending on operating
and ambient temperatures. The correct reading should be within the normal operating temperature range.
Transmission Fluid Level Check

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
Under normal circumstances, the transmission fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the
transaxle starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking, the transmission fluid level
should be checked.
1. With the selector lever in PARK, the engine at idle and foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever
through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever in the PARK position.
2. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the transmission fluid level indicator.
3. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator with a clean cloth.
4. Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully
seated, then remove the transmission fluid level indicator. The transmission fluid level should be within
the normal operating range.
Fig. 1: Identifying Transmission Fluid Indicator


1 - Correct transmission fluid level at normal
operating temperature 80°C-93°C (175°
F-200°F)
2 - Low transmission fluid level
3 - High transmission fluid level
High Transmission Fluid Level
A transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the
churning action of the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of
transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transaxle malfunction and/or damage. If an overfill reading is
indicated, refer to Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill.
Low Transmission Fluid Level
A low transmission fluid level could result in poor transaxle engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage.
This could also indicate a leak in one of the transaxle seals or gaskets.
Adding Transmission Fluid
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
NOTE: The use of any other type of transmission fluid than specified could result in
transaxle malfunction and/or damage.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the
transmission fluid filler tube. Do not overfill the transmission fluid.
Transmission Fluid Condition Check
1. Check the transmission fluid level.

2. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances should be dark reddish, not brown
or black or have a burnt odor.
3. Hold the transmission fluid level indicator over a white facial tissue and allow the transmission fluid to
drip onto the facial tissue and examine the stain.
4. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
5. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant in the transaxle. The engine cooling system
should also be inspected at this time.
6. If transmission fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the transmission
fluid, the transaxle must be disassembled and completely cleaned. This includes the torque converter,
cooler bypass valve, coolers and cooler tubes.
7. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom.
Water in Transmission Fluid
To correctly repair a transmission or transaxle that has had water or coolant introduced into the system,
completely disassemble, clean and replace the following parts:
 All internal and external seals

 All friction material; clutches and bands
 Torque converter
 All parts with bonded seals
 All solenoids
 All transmission fluid filters
Prior to installing the transmission or transaxle, the transmission fluid cooler(s), transmission fluid cooler tubes
and transmission fluid cooler hoses need to be flushed and cleaned.
ROAD TESTING VEHICLE
NOTE: Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and
obey all traffic laws.
NOTE: If a new or remanufactured transaxle assembly is being installed or a new

solenoid body is installed, the PCM will have to be reflashed with a new

solenoid body strategy and identification data file. The solenoid body strategy
drive cycle should also be carried out. Refer to Solenoid Body Strategy.
The Shift Point Road Test and Torque Converter Operation Test provide diagnostic information on shift
controls and torque converter operation.
SOLENOID BODY STRATEGY
Special Tools
Solenoid Body Identification Procedure
1. Using the scan tool, select Powertrain, Transmission and Transmission Solenoid Body Identification from
the toolbox icon and follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool.
The solenoid body identification screen displays solenoid body identification information:
 Solenoid body identification - 7-digit

 Solenoid body strategy - 13-digit
The next screen displays the current solenoid body identification and strategy data file stored in the
PCM. If the solenoid body strategy field is blank, the module contains a partial transmission
solenoid body strategy. This is due to a corrupt or missing file at the time the programmable
parameters were completed.
2. Compare the solenoid body identification and strategy (if available) to the solenoid body service tag or
the replacement solenoid body tag located on top of the transaxle case.

OUTPUT STATE CONTROL (OSC) MODE
Description
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
Output state control allows an off-board diagnostic scan tool direct control of specific transaxle components or
functions. Output state control allows the technician to control the main functions or components of the
transaxle to help the technician more quickly and easily diagnose the transaxle. For example, output state
control may be used to change gears or remain in a specific gear. Output state control may be used to control the
operation of the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) to engage or disengage, or to keep the converter clutch from
engaging at all. Output state control may also be used to help carry out solenoid electrical pinpoint tests by
turning a solenoid off or on by controlling the actual current to the Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) solenoid.
Procedure
NOTE: Retrieve Continuous Codes and carry out a Key ON Engine OFF (KOEO) and
Key ON Engine Running (KOER) Self Test before using any output state control.
Any DTCs related to the Transmission Range (TR) sensor, the Output Shaft
Speed (OSS) sensor or the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor must be fixed or
the PCM will not allow the output state control to operate.
Output state control is used to test various transaxle components and functions when the vehicle is either in the
service bay or being driven on the road. Specific vehicle conditions are required for output state control to
control each specific function or component. The following will describe which transaxle functions and
components output state control may control and the specific vehicle conditions necessary for its operation.
Service Bay - Vehicle State No. 1
Vehicle state No. 1 is functional ONLY when the key is in the ON position and the vehicle gear selector is in
PARK or NEUTRAL with the engine OFF. Vehicle state No. 1 is required when using output state control to
carry out electrical pinpoint tests. The following transaxle components may be controlled using output state
control in vehicle state No. 1.
 SSA/SS1 - Directs PCM to command Shift Solenoid E (SSE) OFF or ON

 SSD_AMP - Controls the current to Shift Solenoid D (SSD), VFS
 SSC_AMP - Controls the current to Shift Solenoid C (SSC), VFS
 SSB_AMP - Controls the current to Shift Solenoid B (SSB), VFS
 SSA_AMP - Controls the current to Shift Solenoid A (SSA), VFS
 TCC AMP - Controls the current to the TCC VFS
 PCA AMP - Controls the current to the Line Pressure Control (LPC) VFS
The vehicle requirements must be met when sending an output state control value to control each specific
component such as the solenoids stated above. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output
state control value, an error message may appear. When the error message appears, output state control is
cancelled and should be restarted.
After sending the output state control value, if the vehicle requirements are no longer met, the error message
will not appear but the output state control value will be cancelled by the PCM. Use the scan tool to monitor the
PID that corresponds to each output state control function or component to determine if the PCM is using the
output state control value or normal control.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
Output state control may be cancelled at any time, using the scan tool, to return the PCM to normal control for a
specific output state control function or component. See instructions for specific scan tool.
Service Bay - Vehicle State No. 2
Vehicle state No. 2 is functional ONLY when the engine is running and the vehicle gear selector is in PARK or
NEUTRAL with engine speed greater than 1,100 RPM. Vehicle state No. 2 is required when using output state
control to carry out a line pressure check. Most, but not all, of the solenoids may be controlled during this
vehicle state. It is recommended to use vehicle state No. 1 when using output state control to control the
solenoids. The following transaxle function and components may be controlled using output state control in
vehicle state No. 2.
 LINEDSD - Output state control function to command line pressure to a desired pressure
 SSD_AMP - Controls the current to SSD, VFS
 SSC_AMP - Controls the current to SSC, VFS
 SSB_AMP - Controls the current to SSB, VFS
 SSA_AMP - Controls the current to SSA, VFS
The vehicle requirements must be met when sending an output state control value to control each specific
component such as the solenoids stated above. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output
state control value, an error message may appear. When the error message appears, output state control is
cancelled and should be restarted.
Output state control values for SSA_AMP, SSB_AMP, SSC_AMP, SSD_AMP, PCA AMP and TCC AMP to
control the current on the VFS are between zero (0) and one (1) amp. The following are examples.
 0 - Commands PCM to control current to zero amps

 0.25 - Commands PCM to control current to 1/4 amp or 250 milli-amps
 1 - Commands PCM to control current to 1 amp or 1,000 milli-amps
Output state control will aid in testing the electronic functions of the PCM, VFS and associated circuitry.
Output state control allows the technician to control the PCM commanded current of the VFS and the
commanded state of the on/off solenoid. This allows the technician to accurately test the electronic circuitry by
comparing the commanded current with the actual current or the on/off state with the actual voltage. Shifting
the transmission through the various gears tests the mechanical operation of the VFS. When using output state
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
control to control the VFS current, the technician may measure the circuit current using an inductive pickup or
measure the circuit voltage drop to help verify the proper electrical operation of each VFS solenoid.
The output state control values for LINEDSD to command a desired line pressure are between 414 kPa (60 psi)
and 1,931 kPa (280 psi). The following are examples.
 60 psi - Commands PCM to control line pressure to 414 kPa (60 psi)
 200 psi - Commands PCM to control line pressure to 1,517 kPa (200 psi)
NOTE: Do NOT command line pressure LOWER than 414 kPa (60 psi) or HIGHER than
1,931 kPa (280 psi) or damage to the transaxle can occur.
Output state control allows the technician to control the PCM commanded Line Pressure. This allows the
technician to accurately test the electronic pressure control system by comparing the output state control
commanded line pressure to the actual line pressure indicated on the pressure gauge. The pressure gauge should
be connected to the line pressure tap on the transmission. The PID corresponding to the commanded Line
Pressure must be monitored to make sure the PCM is using the output state control value for the commanded
Line Pressure. This test will help verify the correct operation of the transmission pump assembly, pump
regulator valve and the operation of the LPC solenoid.
Drive Test
Output state control allows control of 3 transmission functions while driving on the road. Each transmission
function has a unique set of vehicle operating requirements that the technician is required to meet before the
PCM will allow output state control to operate.
 TCC_OSC - Commands the PCM to engage or disengage the TCC

 GEAR_OSC - Commands the PCM to change gears (upshift or down-shift) or remain in a gear
 HRSH_SFT - Commands a slightly higher hydraulic pressure during engagements and upshifts
The vehicle requirements must be met when sending an output state control value to control the specific
functions stated above. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output state control value, an
error message may appear. When the error message appears, output state control is cancelled and should be
restarted.
Drive Test - Torque Converter Clutch Control

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
The output state control values for TCC_OSC to engage or disengage the TCC are as follows:
 0 - PCM in normal control of TCC and output state control is cancelled

 1 or OFF - Commands PCM to keep the TCC from engaging
 2 or ON - Commands PCM to engage the TCC using a normal ramp rate
 3 or ON - Commands PCM to engage the TCC using a fast ramp rate
Controlling the TCC will assist the technician in testing the operation of the torque converter for engagements
and disengagements. Also, the technician may find it easier to evaluate upshifts and downshifts by first using
output state control to keep the TCC from engaging.
Vehicle requirements when using TCC_OSC Controlling the TCC.
When sending the TCC_OSC value [1 or OFF], the engine must be running with the transaxle in the DRIVE
position and the vehicle speed must be greater than 5 km/h (3 mph).
When sending the TCC_OSC value [2 or 3 or ON], the engine must be running with the selector lever in the
DRIVE position, transaxle in 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear, transaxle temperature between 4°C (40°F) and 121°C
(250°F), the vehicle speed must be below 24 km/h (15 mph) and engine speed greater than 1,100 RPM with
minimal engine load.
Drive Test - Upshift and Downshift Control
NOTE: Once output state control has successfully commanded the transmission to
shift to the desired output state control gear, the transmission will remain in
that gear until output state control commands a different gear or the vehicle
conditions are no longer correct.
The output state control values for GEAR_OSC to control the transaxle gear changes are as follows:
 0 - PCM in normal shift control and output state control is cancelled

 1 - Commands PCM to shift to 1st gear - no engine braking
 2 - Commands PCM to shift to 2nd gear - with engine braking
 3 - Commands PCM to shift to 3rd gear - with engine braking
 5 - Commands PCM to shift to 5th gear - with engine braking
 6 - Commands PCM to shift to 6th gear - with engine braking
Controlling the gear changes will assist the technician in testing the various clutches and bands and whether the
transmission is slipping in any particular gear. Output state control will command the PCM to upshift or
downshift depending on the output state control gear value the technician selects. The transmission will remain
in the output state control gear selected until another output state control gear value is sent or until output state
control is cancelled and/or the vehicle conditions for using output state control are no longer met.
Vehicle requirements when using GEAR_OSC Controlling Gear Changes
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
When sending a GEAR_OSC value, the engine must be running with the selector lever in the DRIVE position,
and the vehicle speed must be greater than 5 km/h (3 mph).
Additional vehicle conditions required for upshifts:
 Vehicle speed must be greater then 32 km/h (20 mph) when commanding an upshift to 5th or 6th gear
Additional vehicle conditions required for downshifts:
 Vehicle speed must be less then 32 km/h (20 mph) when commanding a downshift to 1st gear
 Vehicle speed must be less then 64 km/h (40 mph) when commanding a downshift to 2nd gear
 Vehicle speed must be less then 97 km/h (60 mph) when commanding a downshift to 3rd gear
 Vehicle speed must be less then 129 km/h (80 mph) when commanding a downshift to 4th gear
 Vehicle speed must be less then 161 km/h (100 mph) when commanding a downshift to 5th gear
Drive Test - Pressure Added for Engagements and Upshifts
The output state control values for HRSH_SHFT to command a slight or moderate increase in hydraulic
pressure to test for firmer engagements and upshifts are as follows:
 0 or OFF - PCM in normal pressure control for shifts and engagements and output state control is
cancelled
 1 or ON - Commands PCM to moderately increase hydraulic pressure during engagements and upshifts
Setting HRSH_SFT to 1 or ON allows the technician to moderately increase the pressure when performing
engagements such as P-R, P-D, N-R, N-D, R-D and when performing automatic upshifts. This can provide
additional diagnostic information to help the technician determine whether the electronic pressure control
system is providing at least limited control (a normal shift would become firmer). Using output state control to
control HRSH_SHFT to 1 or ON should make a softer engagement or shift more normal and an already normal
shift or engagement firmer by slightly increasing the pressure. This test should only be used to provide
additional diagnostic information and should not be the only scan tool or test to determine a faulty electronic or
hydraulic component.
Using Output State Control and Monitoring PIDs
To confirm that the output state control value was sent by the scan tool and the PCM has accepted the output
state control command, a corresponding PID for each output state control parameter must be monitored. After
SENDING the output state control value, the corresponding PID value should be the same as the output state
control value that was sent. Additional PIDs are listed that may be monitored to help the technician accurately
diagnose the transaxle.
The following is a list of output state control parameters and their corresponding PIDs:

TRANSAXLE DRIVE CYCLE TEST
Special Tools
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
After carrying out the Self Test, use the following Transaxle Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes.
NOTE: The Transaxle Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions must
occur 4 times consecutively for shift error DTC to be set and 5 times
consecutively for continuous Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) code to set.
NOTE: When carrying out the Transaxle Drive Cycle Test, see the solenoid operation
chart for correct solenoid operation. Refer to Pinpoint Tests - OSC Equipped
Vehicle.
1. Record and then erase Self Test codes.

2. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.
4. With transaxle in DRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the
transaxle to shift into 6th gear. Hold speed and throttle opening steady for minimum of 15 seconds.
5. With transaxle in 6th gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release
brake (to operate stoplamps). Then hold speed and throttle steady for additional 5 seconds minimum.
6. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for minimum of 20 seconds.
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 at least 5 times.
8. Carry out Self Test and record continuous codes.
 If DTCs are present, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts. Service all non-transaxle
DTCs first as they can directly affect the operation of the transaxle. Repeat the Self Test and Road
Test to verify the correction. Erase DTCs, carry out drive cycle, and repeat the Self Test after
completing service on the DTCs.
 If the continuous test passes (system pass) and a concern is still present, refer to Diagnosis By
Symptom in this article check TSBs for diagnostic concern.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
After On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, PCM and non-transaxle sensors may affect
transaxle operations. Service these concerns first.
After the OBD procedures are completed, service all DTCs.
Begin with non-transaxle related DTCs, then service any transaxle related DTCs. Refer to the Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for information on Condition and Symptoms. This chart will be helpful in
referring to the correct articles(s) and to aid in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle
inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing electrical concerns of the transaxle. Make sure that the vehicle
wiring harness and the PCM are diagnosed as well. Refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article for
diagnosing non-transaxle electronic components. The diagnostic routine hydraulic/mechanical charts will help
in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle inputs.
Before Pinpoint Tests
NOTE: Prior to entering pinpoint tests, check the PCM wiring harness for correct
connections, bent or broken pins, corrosion, loose wires, correct routing,
correct seals and their condition. Check the PCM, sensors and actuators for
damage. Refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
NOTE: If a concern still exists after electrical diagnosis has been carried out, refer to
Diagnosis By Symptom.
If DTCs appear while carrying out the OBDs, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for the
appropriate repair procedure. Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to any TSBs for transaxle concerns.

Wiggle Test Information for Open/Shorts
A Check TR1, TR2, TR3 and TR4 circuits for an intermittent open with the TR sensor positioned
so that suspect circuit is in the closed position and monitor the TR PIDs with the scan tool.
B Check TR1, TR2, TR3 and TR4 circuits for an intermittent short with the TR sensor positioned
so that suspect circuit is in the open position and monitor the TR PIDs with the scan tool. To
determine the shorted components while observing TR PIDs, unplug the TR and see if the short
goes away. If the short is still present, unplug the transaxle harness and see if the short goes away.
If the short is still present, then the short is in the PCM or vehicle harness. Remove the suspect
circuit(s) wire terminal from the PCM connector. If the short is still present, then the PCM has an
internal failure. Otherwise, the failure is in the vehicle harness.

Check transmission fluid lines and fittings between the transmission and the cooler in the radiator tank for wear
or damage. If leakage cannot be stopped by tightening a transmission fluid tube nut, install new parts. When
transmission fluid is found leaking between the case and the cooler line fitting, check for missing or damaged
O-ring, then tighten the fitting to maximum specification.
If the leak continues, install a new cooler tube fitting and tighten to specification. The same procedure should be
followed for transmission fluid leaks between the radiator cooler and the cooler tube fittings. Refer to
TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION COOLING article.
Check the engine coolant in the radiator. If the transmission fluid is present in the coolant, the cooler in the
radiator is probably leaking. The cooler can be further checked for leaks by disconnecting the tubes for the
cooler fittings and applying no more than 345 kPa (50 psi) air pressure to the fittings. Remove the coolant
recovery cap to relieve the pressure buildup at the exterior of the transmission fluid cooler tank. If the cooler is
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
leaking and/or will not hold pressure, install a new cooler.
If leakage is found at the transaxle range selector lever, install a new seal.
If leakage is found at the transaxle internal harness connector, install a new O-ring.
Fluid Leakage in Torque Converter Area
In diagnosing and correcting fluid leaks in the torque converter area, use the following procedures to locate the
exact cause of the leakage. Leakage at the front of the transaxle, as evidenced by fluid around the torque
converter housing, may have several sources. By careful observation it is possible, in many instances, to
pinpoint the source of the leak before removing the transaxle from the vehicle. The paths which the fluid takes
to reach the bottom of the torque converter housing are shown in the illustration. The 5 steps following
correspond with the numbers in the illustration.
Fig. 35: Identifying Torque Converter Fluid Leakage Area

1. Transmission fluid leaking by the converter hub seal lip will tend to move along the drive hub and onto
the back of the torque converter. Except in the case of a total seal failure, transmission fluid leakage by
the lip of the seal will be deposited on the inside of the torque converter housing only, near the outside
diameter of the housing.
2. Transmission fluid leakage by the outside diameter of the converter impeller hub seal and the case will
follow the same path that leaks by the inside diameter of the converter hub seal follow.
3. Transmission fluid leakage from the converter cover weld or the converter-to-flexplate stud weld will
appear at outside diameter of torque converter on the back face of the flexplate and in the converter
housing only near the flexplate. If a converter-to-flexplate lug, lug weld or converter cover weld leak is
suspected, remove the converter and pressure check.
4. Transmission fluid leakage from the bolts inside the converter housing will flow down the back of the
torque converter housing. Leakage may be from loose or missing bolts.
5. Engine oil leaks are sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as transaxle converter hub seal leaks. The following
areas of possible leakage should also be checked to determine if engine oil leakage is causing the concern.
1. Leakage at the valve cover gasket may allow engine oil to flow over the torque converter housing
or seep down between the torque converter housing and cylinder block causing oil to be present in
or at the bottom of the torque converter housing.
2. Oil galley plug leaks will allow engine oil to flow down the rear face of the cylinder block to the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
bottom of the torque converter housing.

3. Leakage at the crankshaft rear oil seal will work back to the flexplate, and then into the torque
converter housing.
4. Leakage at oil pressure sensor will allow engine oil to flow down the rear face of the cylinder block
to the bottom of the torque converter housing.
Leak Check Test
1. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator and note the color of the transmission fluid. Original
factory fill transmission fluid is dyed red to aid in determining if leakage is from the engine or transaxle.
Unless a considerable amount of makeup transmission fluid has been added or the transmission fluid has
been changed, the red color should assist in pinpointing the leak.
2. Remove the torque converter housing cover. Clean off any transmission fluid from the top and bottom of
the torque converter housing, the front of the case and rear face of the engine and oil pan. Clean the
torque converter area by washing with a suitable nonflammable solvent and blow dry with compressed
air.
3. Wash out the torque converter housing, the front of the flexplate and the converter drain plugs. The
torque converter housing may be washed out using cleaning solvent and a squirt-type oil can. Blow all
washed areas dry with compressed air.
4. Start and run the engine until the transaxle reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back of
the cylinder block and top of the torque converter housing for evidence of transmission fluid leakage.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist and run the engine at fast idle, then at engine idle, occasionally shifting to the
OVERDRIVE and REVERSE ranges to increase pressure within the transaxle. Observe the front of the
flexplate, back of the cylinder block (in as far as possible) and inside the torque converter housing and
front of the case. Run the engine until transmission fluid leakage is evident and the probable source of
leakage can be determined.
Leak Check Test With Black Light
Dye-Lite® ATF/Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye 164-R3701 (Rotunda) is used to detect a
transmission fluid leak.
1. Add Dye-Lite® ATF/Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye to the transmission fluid. Use one 30.0
mL (1 oz) of dye solution for every 3.8L (4 qt) of transmission fluid.
2. Start and run the engine until the transaxle reaches its normal operating temperature. Observe the back of
the cylinder block and top of the torque converter housing for evidence of fluid leakage. Raise the vehicle
on a hoist and run the engine at fast idle, then at engine idle, occasionally shifting to the DRIVE and
REVERSE ranges to increase pressure within the transaxle. Observe the front of the flexplate, back of the
cylinder block (in as far as possible), inside the torque converter housing and the entire case until fluid
leakage is evident and the probable source of leakage can be determined.

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transaxle, metal particles, clutch plate material or band
material may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are
a major cause of recurring transaxle troubles and must be removed from the system before the transaxle is put
back into use. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning.
Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test
NOTE: The selector lever linkage, selector lever cable adjustment, transmission fluid
level and line pressure must be within specification before carrying out this
test. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL
CONTROLS article for selector lever linkage and selector lever cable adjustment
and refer to Special Testing Procedures for line pressure test. The transmission
fluid must be above 82°C (180°F) for the cooler by-pass to open to carry out this
test.
1. Using a scan tool, run the engine to establish the correct transmission fluid temperature of 82°C (180°F).
2. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission fluid filler tube.
3. Place funnel in the transmission fluid filler tube.
4. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Refer to JACKING & LIFTING article.
5. Remove the transmission fluid cooler return tube (rear fitting) from the fitting on the transaxle case.
6. Connect one end of a hose to the cooler return tube and route other end of the hose up to a point where it
can be inserted into the funnel at the transmission fluid filler tube.
7. Start the engine and run it at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL position.
8. When transmission fluid flowing from hose is in a steady stream, a liberal amount of transmission fluid
should be observed. "Liberal" is described as about 1L (1 qt) delivered in 30 seconds. If a liberal flow is
observed, the test is complete.
9. If the flow is not liberal, stop the engine. Disconnect the hose from the cooler return tube and connect it to
the converter outlet tube fitting (front fitting) on the transaxle case.
10. Repeat Steps 7 and 8. If flow is now approximately 1L (1 qt) in 30 seconds, refer to Transmission Fluid
Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning. If the flow is still not approximately 1L (1 qt) in 30 seconds, repair
the pump and/or the torque converter.
If new transmission fluid cooler tubes need to be installed, refer to TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION

COOLING article.

available. For a list of these tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of
common terms, refer to NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS article. Since it is
possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be
necessary to use a process of elimination type of diagnostic approach to
pinpoint the responsible system. If this is not the causal system for the
symptom, refer back to NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS article for the

Flusher
Material
Item Specification
(Canada)
NOTE: Transmission fluid cooler backflushing will be carried out using the Turbo-Tank
Heated Cooler Line Flusher. Follow the manufacturer's instructions included
with the machine. Test the equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid flow is
present before proceeding.
1. Check and top off fluid level of the Turbo-Tank Heated Cooler Line Flusher tank with transmission fluid.
2. Allow the fluid in the flusher 15-30 minutes to heat up to 60°C (140°F) before using.
3. Install the line adapters on the transmission fluid cooler tubes.
NOTE: The FRONT transmission fluid cooler tube on the thermal bypass valve is
the transmission fluid cooler pressure tube.
4. Attach the flusher's red line to the transmission fluid cooler pressure tube quick disconnect fitting.
5. Attach the flusher's blue line to the transmission fluid cooler return tube quick disconnect fitting.
6. Follow the equipment instructions to purge the transmission fluid cooler tubes and transmission fluid
cooler prior to starting the flushing procedure.
7. Allow the transmission fluid cooling system to backflush for 10-15 minutes, then flush the transmission
fluid cooler in a normal flow direction for an additional 10-15 minutes.
8. Clean the transaxle mounted fluid cooler tubes and the thermal bypass valve by hand.
TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAIN AND REFILL
Material
Microsoft

Item Specification
(Canada)
NOTE: In order to completely clean the torque converter, this procedure needs to be
carried out 3 times.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING &
LIFTING article.
NOTE: If an internal problem is suspected, drain the transmission fluid through a

paper filter. A small amount of metal or friction particles may be found
from normal wear. If an excessive amount of metal or friction material is
present, the transaxle will need to be overhauled.
2. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain.
Fig. 37: Locating Transmission Fluid Drain Plug

3. Install the transmission fluid drain plug.


Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Edge & MKX
4. Fill the transaxle with clean transmission fluid.
Fig. 39: Filling Transaxle With Clean Transmission Fluid

5. Start the engine and let it run for 3 minutes. Move the range selector lever into each gear position. Repeat
Steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 two more times.
After the transmission fluid has been changed a total of 3 times, check the transmission fluid level for a
final time, making sure that the transmission fluid is at the correct level.
TORQUE CONVERTER
1. A new or remanufactured torque converter must be installed if one or more of the following statements is
true:
 A torque converter malfunction has been determined based on complete diagnostic procedures.
 Converter bolt holes, impeller hub or bushing are damaged.
 Discoloration (due to overheating).
 Evidence of transmission assembly or fluid contamination due to the following transmission or

converter failure modes:
 Major metallic failure.
 Multiple clutches or clutch plate failures.
 Sufficient component wear which results in metallic contamination.
 Internal torque converter contamination present. For additional information, refer to Torque
Converter Contamination Inspection.

NOTE: Do not use water-based cleaners or mineral spirits to clean or flush the torque
converter or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean automatic
transmission fluid designated for the transmission and converter being
serviced.
1. If a new or remanufactured torque converter is not being installed, the following steps must be completed.
2. With the torque converter on a bench, pour a small amount of transmission fluid from the torque
converter onto an absorbent white tissue or through a paper filter and examine the transmission fluid.
3. Observe the color and odor of the fluid. The fluid should be red, not brown or black. Odor may indicate
an overheating condition such as clutch disc or band failure.
4. Examine the stain on the tissue for evidence of particles of any kind. If particles are present in the
transmission fluid, a new torque converter must be installed.
5. If there are no particles or contamination present, drain the remainder of the transmission fluid from the
torque converter.
6. Add 1.9L (2 qt) of clean transmission fluid into the converter and agitate by hand.
7. Thoroughly drain the transmission fluid.

FRONT DRIVE HALFSHAFTS
The front drive halfshafts consist of the following:
 Inboard and outboard constant velocity (CV) joints connect to a splined shaft. Driveshaft bearing retainer
circlips retain the CV joints to the splined shaft.
 A front axle wheel hub nut that secures the splined outboard CV joint to the wheel hub.
 Lubed-for-life CV joints use special CV joint grease requiring no periodic lubrication.
 A boot repair kit, 3A331, which includes the boots, clamps and grease is available.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
On the LH side, the inboard CV joint is retained in the differential side gear with a 33 mm (1.29 in) retainer
circlip. This circlip is oval in shape when viewed at the end. Install a new circlip every time the halfshaft is
disconnected. On the RH side, a 30 mm (1.181 in) driveshaft bearing retainer circlip retains the splined inboard
CV joint to the intermediate shaft. This circlip is round when view at the end. Install a new circlip every time
you disconnect the halfshaft from the intermediate shaft.
The halfshafts are splined on the outboard stub shaft to drive the wheel hubs. They are retained in the wheel
hubs by special wheel hub nuts which also control the wheel bearing preload. The LH halfshaft is splined on the
inboard stub shaft and is retained in the differential side gear in the transaxle by a circlip. The RH halfshaft has
internal splines which are driven by the intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft has a circlip on the outboard
end and is retained inside the inboard stub shaft. The circlips must be installed new whenever they are removed.
The intermediate shaft is retained in the transaxle differential side gear by bolts that go through the intermediate
shaft support bearing. The intermediate shaft also goes through the power transfer unit (PTU) on all wheel drive
(AWD) vehicles. The outer seal of the PTU must be installed new whenever the intermediate shaft is removed.
Halfshaft Handling
CAUTION: Never pick up or hold the halfshaft only by the inboard or outboard
constant velocity (CV) joint or damage to the component may occur.
Handle all halfshaft components carefully during removal and installation and during various component
disassembly and assembly procedures. Do not overangle the CV joints. Damage will occur to an assembled
inboard CV joint if it is overplunged outward from the joint housing. Never use the halfshaft assembly as a
lever to position other components. Always support the free end of the halfshaft. Do not allow the boots to
contact sharp edges or hot exhaust components. Handle the halfshaft only by the interconnecting shaft to avoid
pull-apart and potential damage to the CV joints. Excessive pulling force on the interconnecting shaft between
joints of the halfshaft will result in internal joint damage. Axial loads used in assisting removal must be applied
through the inboard joint housing only. Do not drop assembled halfshafts. The impact will cut the boots from
the inside without evidence of external damage.

REAR DRIVE HALFSHAFTS
Rear Drive Halfshafts
The rear drive halfshafts consist of the following:
 Inner constant velocity (CV) joints

 Outer CV joints
 Interconnecting shafts
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Convoluted CV joint boots

 CV joint boot clamps
 Special CV high-temperature grease
 Tripod joint housings
 Ball and cage housings
 Circlip stopper that holds the cross-groove inboard race assembly (inboard CV joint) together
 Circlip that retains the splined inboard CV joint to the differential side gear
 RH and LH halfshafts that are different lengths, with the LH halfshaft being the longer of the two
The rear drive halfshafts link the rear axle to the rear wheel hubs. The CV joints allow the halfshafts to rotate
smoothly through the required changes in angles between the stationary axle and the varying angles of the rear
wheels including jounce and rebound. The CV joints are either tri-lobed style or the caged-ball type, depending
on inboard or outboard. New halfshaft components are available in kit 4L537 which contains grease, circlips,
boots and clamps.
Handle all halfshaft components carefully during removal and installation and during various component
disassembly and assembly procedures. Never pick up or hold the halfshaft only by the inboard or outboard CV
joint. Do not overangle the CV joints. Damage will occur to an assembled inboard CV joint if it is overplunged
outward from the joint housing. Never use a hammer to remove or install the halfshafts from the hub. Never use
the halfshaft assembly as a lever to position other components. Always support the free end of the halfshaft. Do
not allow the boots to contact sharp edges or hot exhaust components. Handle the halfshaft only by the
interconnecting shaft to avoid pull-apart and potential damage to the CV joints. Excessive pulling force on the
interconnecting shaft between joints of the halfshaft will result in internal joint damage. Axial loads used in
assisting removal must be applied through the inboard joint housing only. Do not drop assembled halfshafts.
The impact will cut the boots from the inside without evidence of external damage. Do not remove the outer CV
joint by pulling on the interconnecting shaft. Inspect all machined surfaces and splines for damage.

Power Brake Actuation - Edge & MKX
SPECIFICATIONS
Brake booster nuts 23 17

BRAKE BOOSTER
The power brake actuation system consists of the following components:
 Brake booster
 Brake booster check valve
 Brake booster vacuum supply hose
The brake booster uses engine vacuum from the intake manifold to create a partial vacuum inside the vacuum
booster on both sides of the diaphragm. When the brake pedal is pressed, the booster rod opens a valve,
allowing air to enter the booster on one side of the diaphragm while sealing off the opposite side. This increases
pressure on that side of the diaphragm so that it helps push the rod, which in turn pushes the piston in the master
cylinder. As the brake pedal is released, the valve seals off the outside air supply while opening the vacuum
valve. This restores vacuum to both sides of the diaphragm, allowing everything to return to its original
position.

BRAKE SYSTEM
The brake system has the following components:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Fixed position foot pedal

 Vacuum-assisted power brake booster
 Diagonal split hydraulic system
 Front disc brakes
 Rear disc brakes
 Drum-in-hat park brake system
 ABS hydraulic control unit (HCU).
The brake pedal is connected to the power brake booster, which is connected to the brake master cylinder.
When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is pushed through the doubled-walled steel tubes and flexible hoses
to the front and rear disc brake calipers. The brake fluid enters the disc brake calipers, forcing the caliper
pistons and brake pads outward against the brake disc friction surface, slowing or stopping rotation. When the
brake pedal is released, brake fluid pressure is relieved, returning the front and rear disc brake caliper pistons
and brake pads to the unapplied position.
For information on:
 the non-adjustable pedals, refer to HYDRAULIC BRAKE ACTUATION article.

 ABS and HCU, refer to VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEMS article.
 the master cylinder and fluid reservoir, refer to HYDRAULIC BRAKE ACTUATION article.

Brake System
Applying the brake pedal uses lever action to push a rod into the brake booster, which through the use of
vacuum, boosts the force of the rod and then transmits this force into the master cylinder. This produces
hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder. On vehicles not equipped with ABS, the hydraulic pressure is
transmitted by brake fluid through the brake tubes to the individual brake calipers. On vehicles equipped with
ABS, the hydraulic pressure is transmitted by brake fluid through the brake tubes to the ABS hydraulic control
unit (HCU), which then distributes that pressure to the individual brake calipers. The brake calipers use
hydraulic pressure to apply the pads. The application of the brake pads will cause the rotation of the wheels to
slow or stop depending on how much brake pressure is applied. The parking brakes carry out the same function
except that they are mechanically actuated by a cable that connects only to the rear brakes.
Red Brake Warning Indicator
The red brake warning indicator alerts the driver to certain conditions that exist in the brake system. The
instrument cluster performs a bulb check when the ignition key is turned to the RUN position. The conditions
that cause the indicator to illuminate are low brake fluid level, the parking brake is applied or there is a fault in
the ABS (if the yellow ABS warning indicator is also illuminated).
injury.

NOTE: Always check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir before
carrying out the test procedures. If the fluid level is not at the correct level,
clean the reservoir cap before removing, then add clean, specified brake fluid.
NOTE: Prior to carrying out any diagnosis, make sure the brake warning indicator
operates correctly. If the brake indicator does not operate correctly, refer to
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC), MESSAGE CENTER, AND WARNING CHIMES
article.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The first indication that something may be wrong in the brake system is a change in the feeling through the
brake pedal. The brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster and the brake fluid level in the brake master
cylinder reservoir are also indicators of system concerns.
If a wheel is locked and the vehicle must be moved, open a bleeder screw at the locked wheel to let out enough
fluid to relieve the pressure. Close the bleeder screw. This bleeding operation may release the brakes but will
not correct the cause of the concern. If this does not relieve the locked wheel condition, repair the locked
components before proceeding.
Inspect all hoses and connections. All unused vacuum connectors should be capped. Make sure hoses and their
connections are correctly secured and in good condition with no holes, soft or collapsed areas.

SYMPTOM CHART - NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) table.
For low or spongy brake pedal concerns:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 check for fluid leaks. Repair as necessary.

 check and, if necessary, refill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.
 bleed the brake system and retest the brake pedal feel.
 if the brake pedal is still low or feels spongy, check the brake pedal mounting for looseness and
correct installation. Check the power brake booster and the master cylinder for loose mounting.
Correct as necessary and retest the system for normal operation.
For a slow or incomplete brake pedal return concern:
 inspect for binding, damage, correct installation or interference at the brake pedal.
 check the power brake booster for binding, damage and correct installation.
Road Test
The technician should have a thorough knowledge of the brake system operation and accepted general braking
guidelines in order to detect any problems.
Select a road that is reasonably smooth and level. Gravel or bumpy roads are not suitable because the surface
does not allow the tires to grip the road equally. Avoid crowned roads.
A key factor in evaluating brake concerns is the deceleration rate. This varies from vehicle to vehicle and with
changes in operating conditions. It is evident how well the brakes are working after just a few applications.
Brake Pads
NOTE: It is not required to install new brake pads if the friction material thickness is
within specifications. It is also not required to install new brake pads when the
brake discs are machined.
 Remove the brake pads. Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article for front disc brakes or REAR DISC
BRAKE article for rear disc brakes.
 Inspect and measure the thickness of the brake pad friction material. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS.
 If there are missing chunks or cracks in the lining through to the backing plate, install new brake
pads. Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article for front disc brakes or REAR DISC BRAKE
article for rear disc brakes.
 If the thickness of the friction material is less than the specified thickness, install new brake pads,
Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article for front disc brakes or REAR DISC BRAKE article for
rear disc brakes.
 If the friction material shows taper wear that is not within specifications, verify the caliper guide
pins are functioning correctly. Refer to Brake Caliper Guide Pins.
Brake Discs
NOTE: Using an impact tool without a torque socket will lead to unevenly tightened
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
wheel nuts. This causes brake disc on-vehicle lateral runout and brake
roughness.
NOTE: It is generally not required to install new brake discs to address noise issues.
 Remove the brake disc. Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article for front disc brakes or REAR DISC
BRAKE article for rear disc brakes.
 Inspect the brake discs and measure the brake disc thickness in a minimum of 4 places around the
circumference of the brake disc. Record the measurements, refer to SPECIFICATIONS.
 If the brake disc is cracked or otherwise damaged, install new a brake disc. Refer to FRONT DISC
BRAKE article for front disc brakes or REAR DISC BRAKE article for rear disc brakes.
 If any thickness measurement is less than the minimum specification, install a new brake disc.
Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article for front disc brakes or REAR DISC BRAKE article for
rear disc brakes.
 If the diagnosis has revealed vibration in the steering wheel, seat or pedal while braking that varies
with vehicle speed, machine the brake disc. Heavily scored brake discs, similar to that caused by
pads worn down to the backing plate, should also be machined. In order to machine, discs must be
above the minimum thickness specification. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS and BRAKE DISC
MACHINING.
Brake Calipers
Inspect the brake calipers for the following:
 Brake fluid leaks

 Boots and seals for tears or cracks
 Caliper pistons for binding and corrosion
 Guide pins for correct operation. Refer to Brake Caliper Guide Pins.
Brake Caliper Guide Pins
NOTE: Do not use power tools for caliper guide pin bore cleaning. Damage to the bore
may result.
NOTE: The guide pins are part of the anchor plate.
The guide pins should slide with a reasonable amount of hand force. If the brake pads show taper wear or the
guide pins are difficult to move, install a new brake caliper anchor plate. Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE
article for the front brake caliper anchor plate or REAR DISC BRAKE article for the rear brake caliper anchor
plate.
If the lining is not within specifications, install new brake pads. Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article for
front disc brakes or REAR DISC BRAKE article for rear disc brakes.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Brake Hoses and Tubes
NOTE: Never use copper tubing. It is subject to fatigue, cracking and corrosion, which
may result in brake tube failure.
 Double-wall steel tubing is used throughout the brake hydraulic system. All brake tube fittings must be
correctly double flared to provide strong, leakproof connections. When bending tubing to fit the
underbody or rear axle contours, be careful not to kink or crack the tube.
 If a section of the brake tube is damaged, the entire section must be installed with a new tube of the same
type, size, shape and length.
 When installing the hydraulic brake tubing, hoses or connectors, tighten all connections to specifications.
After installation, bleed the brake system. Refer to BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING.
Install a new brake flexible hose if the hose shows signs of softening, cracking or other damage.
When installing a new brake hose, position the hose to avoid contact with other vehicle components.
Non-Pressure Leaks
Two parts of the brake system that may have a brake fluid loss that does not appear when the system is under
pressure are the brake master cylinder reservoir and the brake caliper under the following conditions:
Reservoir
 Missing or poorly-fitted brake master cylinder filler cap

 Missing or damaged brake master cylinder filler cap gasket
 Punctured or otherwise damaged brake master cylinder reservoir
 Missing, damaged or poorly-fitted sealing grommets between the brake master cylinder and the brake
master cylinder reservoir
The brake master cylinder reservoir grommets are not serviceable and must be installed new as part of a new
brake master cylinder and reservoir assembly. Refer to brake master cylinder in HYDRAULIC BRAKE
ACTUATION article.
Brake Caliper
 Foreign material in the caliper piston seal groove

 Punctured or otherwise damaged caliper piston seal
The brake caliper piston seals are not serviceable and must be installed new as part of a new brake caliper.
Refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE article for front disc brakes or REAR DISC BRAKE article for rear disc
brakes.
Brake Master Cylinder - Normal Conditions
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master cylinder is in need
of service.
Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake master cylinder
reservoir will fall during brake application and rise during release. The net fluid level (such as after brake
application and release) will remain unchanged.
Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting flange.
This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.
Brake Master Cylinder - Abnormal Conditions
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something may be wrong in the brake system. Go to
SYMPTOM CHART - BRAKE SYSTEM table for abnormal condition diagnosis.
Brake Booster
Inspect the brake booster:
 for excessive corrosion or damage.

 vacuum connections for leakage.
 vacuum hoses for kinks or leakage.
 check valve for correct operation.
Parking Brake
Check the operation of the parking brake system with the vehicle on a hoist and the parking brake control fully
released. Check the rear brake adjustment or carry out the brake system diagnosis. Refer to PARKING

Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Test A: Vibration When Brakes are Applied
Normal Operation
During moderate to heavy braking, noise from the hydraulic control unit (HCU) and pulsation in the brake pedal
can be observed. Pedal pulsation coupled with noise during heavy braking or on loose gravel, bumps, wet or
snowy surfaces is acceptable and indicates correct functioning of the ABS. Pedal pulsation alone or steering
wheel nibble when the brakes are applied (frequency is proportional to the vehicle speed) indicates a concern
with a brake or suspension component.

Brake Booster
1. Disconnect the check valve from the brake booster.

2. Apply the parking brake, start the engine and place the transmission in NEUTRAL.
3. Verify that manifold vacuum is available at the check valve with the engine at idle speed and the
transmission in NEUTRAL.
 If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, connect the check valve and continue with Step 5.
 If manifold vacuum is not available, continue with Step 4.
4. Disconnect the check valve from the vacuum hose and verify that manifold vacuum is available at the
hose with the engine at idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL.
 If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, install a new check valve and continue with Step
5.
 If manifold vacuum is not available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the check valve
and refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article to diagnose the no
vacuum condition.
5. Apply the brake pedal several times to exhaust all vacuum from the system.
6. Apply the brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine and verify that the brake pedal
moves downward after the engine starts.
 If the brake pedal moves, the brake booster is operating correctly
 If the brake pedal does not move, install a new brake booster. Refer to POWER BRAKE
ACTUATION article.
7. Operate the engine a minimum of 10 seconds at fast idle. Stop the engine, and let the vehicle stand for 10
minutes. Then apply the brake pedal with approximately 89 N (20 lb) of force. The brake pedal feel
should be the same as that noted with the engine operating. If the brake pedal feels hard (no power assist),
install a new brake booster check valve and retest. If the brake pedal feels spongy, bleed the hydraulic
system to remove air. Refer to BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING.
Brake Booster Check Valve
The function of the brake booster check valve is to allow manifold vacuum to enter the brake booster and
prevent the escape of vacuum in case manifold vacuum is lost during sustained full throttle operation.
1. Disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the check valve.

2. Apply the parking brake, start the engine and place the transmission in NEUTRAL.
3. Verify that manifold vacuum is available at the check valve end of the vacuum hose with the engine at
idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL.
 If manifold vacuum is available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the check valve and
continue this test.
 If manifold vacuum is not available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the check valve

vacuum condition.
4. Connect the vacuum hose to the check valve and run the engine for at least 10 seconds.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
5. Operate the brake pedal to check for power assist.

 If power assist is present, continue with this test.
 If power assist is not present, refer to Brake Booster test in COMPONENT TESTS.
NOTE: Do not remove the brake booster check valve from the brake booster in
this step.
6. Stop the engine and disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the brake booster check valve.
7. Apply the brake and verify that there is enough vacuum retained in the brake booster for at least one
power-assisted brake application.
 If there is enough vacuum for at least one power-assisted brake application, the check valve is
functioning correctly.
 If there is not enough vacuum for at least one power-assisted brake application, continue with this
test.
8. Inspect the brake booster for any signs of damage that may cause a leak.
 If any damage is found, install a new brake booster and repeat this test.
 If no damage is found, install a new check valve.
Brake Master Cylinder - Bypass Condition
1. Disconnect the brake tubes from the master cylinder.

2. Plug the outlet ports of the master cylinder.
3. Apply the brakes. If brake pedal height cannot be maintained, the brake master cylinder has an internal
leak and a new brake master cylinder must be installed.
Brake Master Cylinder - Compensator Port
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to:
 supply additional brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir needed by the brake system due to
brake lining wear.
 allow brake fluid to return to the brake master cylinder reservoir when the brakes are released. The
returning brake fluid creates a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. This is a normal
condition and indicates that the compensator ports are not clogged.
Clogged compensator ports may cause the brakes to hang up or not fully release. If clogged compensator ports
are suspected, proceed as follows:
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. Refer to JACKING AND LIFTING article.
2. With the brakes released, attempt to rotate each wheel and check for any brake drag.
 If an excessive amount of brake drag exists at all 4 wheels, continue with the test.
 If an excessive amount of brake drag exists at only one wheel, it indicates a possible seized brake
caliper, brake wheel cylinder or parking brake component. Repair or install new components as
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
necessary.
3. Check the brake stoplamp switch and the brake pedal free play to verify that the brake pedal is not
partially applied.
4. Loosen the brake master cylinder nuts and position the brake master cylinder away from the brake
booster.
5. With the brakes released, attempt to rotate each wheel and check for any brake drag.
 If the brake drag is no longer present, install a new brake booster. Refer to POWER BRAKE
ACTUATION article.
 If the brake drag is still present, install a new master cylinder. Refer to HYDRAULIC BRAKE
ACTUATION article.
GENERAL PROCEDURES
BRAKE DISC MACHINING
NOTE: Do not use a bench lathe to machine the brake discs. Use an on-vehicle brake
lathe only. Read the entire operating manual and/or view the video shipped with
the lathe before installing, operating or repairing the lathe.
NOTE: An on-vehicle brake lathe with an automatic runout adjustment feature is

preferred. However, if the lathe is not self adjusting, the lathe oscillation must
be adjusted using a dial indicator. The total indicated runout target is 0.000 mm
(0.000 in). The maximum indicated runout should be no more than 0.050 mm
(0.002 in). If the runout adjustment (automatic or manual) is carried out correctly
prior to machining, then the final brake disc runout will be within specification
and a runout measurement is not necessary after machining.
NOTE: Do not machine new brake discs.
NOTE: Lateral runout and disc thickness variation measurements are not required
because correct adjustment of the on-vehicle brake lathe will make sure that
these dimensions are within specification.
1. Remove the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to WHEELS AND TIRES article.
NOTE: Do not allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose or damage to the
hose may occur.
NOTE: It is not necessary to disconnect the brake tube from the brake caliper.
2. Remove the bolts and position the brake caliper or brake caliper and anchor plate assembly aside, as
required.
 Support the brake caliper using mechanic's wire.

CHARGING SYSTEM
The charging system consists of the following:
 Generator
 Charging system warning indicator
 Necessary wiring and cables
The charging system is a negative ground system. The generator (including an internal voltage regulator) is
belt-driven by the engine accessory drive system. When the engine is started, the generator begins to generate
AC, which is internally converted to DC. This current is then supplied to the vehicle electrical system through
the output (B+) terminal of the generator.
Battery
The battery is a 12V DC source connected in a negative ground system. The battery case is sealed with 2 vent
holes to release gases. The battery has 3 major functions:
 Engine cranking power source

 Voltage stabilizer for the electrical system
 Temporary power source when electrical loads exceed the generator output current

scan tool
The PCM controlled charging system determines the optimal voltage setpoint for the charging system and
communicates this information to the voltage regulator. This system is unique in that it has 2 communication
lines between the PCM and the generator/regulator. Both of these communication lines are pulse-width
modulated (PWM). The generator communication (GENCOM) line communicates the desired setpoint from the
PCM to the voltage regulator. The generator monitor (GENMON) line communicates the generator load and
error conditions to the PCM. The third pin on the voltage regulator, the A circuit pin, is a dedicated battery
voltage sense line.
The generator charges the battery and at the same time supplies power for all of the electrical loads that are
required. The battery is more effectively charged with a higher voltage when the battery is cold and a lower
voltage when the battery is warm. The PCM is able to adjust the charging voltage according to the battery
temperature by using a signal from the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. This means the voltage setpoint is
calculated by the PCM and communicated to the regulator by the GENCOM circuit.
The PCM simultaneously controls and monitors the output of the generator. When the current consumption is
high or the battery is discharged the PCM raises engine speed to increase generator output.
To minimize the engine drag when starting the engine, the PCM does not allow the generator to produce any
output until the engine has started. The PCM turns off the generator during cranking to reduce the starter load
and improve cranking speed. Once the engine starts, the PCM slowly increases generator output to help
establish a stable engine speed.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The PCM controls the charging system warning indicator by sending a message over the high-speed controller
area network (HS-CAN) to the instrument cluster (IC). The PCM turns the charging system warning indicator
off when generator output begins. The charging system warning indicator is also illuminated by the PCM
whenever the key is ON with the engine OFF.
This is a System 4 charging system, which uses the GENMON and GENCOM lines to control and monitor the
charging system through the PCM. System 4 charging systems are virtually identical in design and therefore,
share the same diagnostics. The circuit numbers and colors may be different, but the functions are the same.
WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases. Work in a
well-ventilated area. Do not allow the battery to come in contact with
flames, sparks or burning substances. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Shield eyes when working near the battery to protect against
possible splashing of acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or
eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes, then get
prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING: Always lift a plastic-cased battery with a battery carrier or with hands on
opposite corners. Excessive pressure on the battery end walls may cause
acid to flow through the vent caps, resulting in personal injury and/or
damage to the vehicle or battery.
CAUTION: Do not make jumper connections except as directed. Incorrect

connections may damage the voltage regulator test terminals, fuses or
fusible links.
CAUTION: Do not allow any metal object to come in contact with the generator
housing and internal diode cooling fins. A short circuit may result and
burn out the diodes.
NOTE: While carrying out any pinpoint test, disregard any DTCs set while following a
specific pinpoint test. After the completion of a test, be sure to clear all DTCs in
the PCM.
NOTE: All voltage measurements are referenced to the negative (-) battery post unless
otherwise specified.

Component Tests
Battery - Drain Testing
WARNING: Do not attempt to service, charge, recharge or jump start a battery unless
the following information has been read and understood. Failure to follow
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the meter, do not crank the engine or operate
accessories that draw more than 10A.
CAUTION: If equipped with the CD6 audio unit, precautions must be taken when the
battery has been disconnected. When reconnecting the battery, make sure
no interruption of power occurs for 30 seconds. If power is interrupted
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
during the first 30 seconds, permanent damage to the CD6 audio unit will
result.
NOTE: No factory-equipped vehicle should have more than a 50 mA (0.050 amp) draw.
Check for current drains on the battery in excess of 50 mA (0.050 amp) with all the electrical accessories off
and the vehicle at rest for at least 40 minutes. Current drains can be tested with the following procedure.
NOTE: Many electronic modules draw 10 mA (0.010 amp) or more continuously.
NOTE: Use an in-line ammeter between the negative battery post and its respective
cable.
NOTE: Typically, a drain of approximately one amp is attributed to an engine

compartment lamp, glove compartment lamp or interior lamp staying on
continually. Other component failures or wiring shorts are located by
selectively pulling fuses to pinpoint the location of the current drain. When the
current drain is found, the meter reading falls to an acceptable level. If the drain
is still not located after checking all the fuses, it is due to the generator.
NOTE: To accurately test the drain on a battery, an in-line ammeter must be used. Use
of a test lamp or voltmeter is not an accurate method due to the number of
electronic modules.
1. Make sure the junction box(es)/fuse panel(s) is accessible without turning on the interior lights or the
underhood lights.
2. Drive the vehicle at least 5 minutes and over 48 km/h (30 mph) to turn on and activate the vehicle
systems.
3. Allow the vehicle to sit with the key off for at least 40 minutes to allow the modules to time out/power
down.
4. Connect a fused jumper wire (30A) between the negative battery cable and the negative battery post to
prevent modules from resetting and to catch capacitive drains.
5. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the negative battery post without breaking the connection of
the jumper wire.
NOTE: It is very important that continuity is not broken between the battery and
the negative battery cable when connecting the meter. If this happens, the
entire procedure must be repeated.
6. Connect the battery tester between the negative battery cable and the post. The meter must be capable of
reading milliamps and should have a 10 amp capability.
NOTE: If the meter settings need to be switched or the test leads need to be
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
moved to another jack, the jumper wire must be reinstalled to avoid

breaking continuity.
NOTE: Amperage draw varies from vehicle to vehicle depending on the

equipment package. Compare to a similar vehicle for reference.
NOTE: No factory-equipped vehicle should have more than a 50 mA (0.050 amp)

draw.
7. Remove the jumper wire.

8. Note the amperage draw. Draw varies from vehicle to vehicle depending on the equipment package.
Compare to a similar vehicle for reference.
9. If the draw is found to be excessive, remove the fuses from the smart junction box (SJB) one at a time and
note the current reading. Do not reinstall the fuses until you have finished testing. To correctly isolate
each of the circuits, all of the fuses may need to be removed and then install one fuse, note the amperage
draw, remove the fuse and install the next fuse. Continue this process with each fuse.
10. If the current draw is still excessive, remove the fuses from the battery junction box (BJB) one at a time
and note the current drop. Do not reinstall the fuses until you have finished testing. To correctly isolate
each of the circuits, all of the fuses may need to be removed, then install one fuse, note the amperage
draw, remove the fuse and install the next fuse. Continue this process with each fuse. When the current
level drops to an acceptable level after removing a fuse, the circuit containing the excessive draw has
been located.
11. Check the wiring diagrams for any circuits that run from the battery without passing through the BJB or
the SJB. Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If the current draw is still
excessive, disconnect these circuits until the draw is found. Disconnect the generator electrical
connections if the draw cannot be located. The generator may be internally shorted, causing the current
drain.

ENGINE COOLING
CAUTION: The engine cooling system is filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine
Coolant. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of
Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine coolant.
NOTE: Stop-leak style pellets/products must not be used as an additive in this engine
cooling system. The addition of stop-leak style pellets/products can clog or
damage the cooling system, resulting in degraded cooling system performance
and/or failure.
The cooling system components are the:
 radiator.
 bypass tube.
 pressure relief cap.
 degas bottle.
 radiator draincock.
 coolant pump.
 engine coolant temperature indicator unit.
 thermostat (cold side).
 variable speed fan motor assembly.
 fan control module.
 engine block coolant weep hole.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 1: Locating Engine Block Coolant Weep Hole

The engine is equipped with an engine block coolant weep hole. If the inner coolant pump shaft seal fails,
coolant will be diverted out the weep hole in the LH side of the engine block. This prevents any coolant from
entering the crankcase.
Engine coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion protection to the
engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine coolant must be maintained at
the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.
When adding engine coolant, use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water.
To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system:
 add Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Do not mix coolant types.
 do not add/mix orange-colored Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant or equivalent meeting Ford
specification WSS-M97B44-D or green colored Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant meeting Ford
specification ESE-M97B44-A or equivalent. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion
protection.
 do not add alcohol, methanol or brine, or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze.
These can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
 Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine coolant in vehicles originally
equipped with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not
yet available.

Engine coolant flows primarily from the engine to the radiator circuit and back to the coolant pump. From the
coolant pump, coolant is sent through the engine block and cylinder heads. A separate circuit from the engine
also feeds the heater core with coolant. On most engines, the coolant pump is operated by engine rotation
through a pulley which is driven by the accessory drive belt to circulate the coolant. Some engines use a belt
driven by a pulley attached to the camshaft, and some engines use a sprocket driven by the timing chain to
operate the coolant pump. The coolant thermostat is a control valve actuated by coolant temperature. When the
thermostat is closed, coolant flow bypasses the radiator circuit and returns to the coolant pump. When the
thermostat is opened, coolant is allowed to flow through the radiator circuit in order to transfer engine generated
heat to the outside air.
NOTE: The vehicle is equipped with either a degas bottle or an expansion tank.
The degas bottle, if equipped, holds surplus coolant and removes air from the cooling system, which reduces hot
spots. It also allows for coolant expansion and system pressurization, replenishes coolant to the cooling system
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
and serves as the location for service fill.
The coolant expansion tank, if equipped, holds surplus coolant, allows for coolant expansion and replenishes
coolant to the cooling system. It is equipped with a non-pressurized cap which allows coolant to be added to the
tank to keep it filled to prescribed levels.
The cooling fan draws air through the radiator to help cool the system coolant as it passes through the radiator.
The thermostat monitor is a function of the PCM and is designed to verify correct thermostat operation. The
monitor will be executed once per drive cycle and has a monitor run duration of 300-800 seconds. If a
malfunction occurs, DTC P0125 or P0128 is set, and the malfunction indicator lamp will be illuminated.
For vehicle/engine specific information, refer to ENGINE COOLING in Description and Operation.
WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do
not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating
or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under pressure;
steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened
slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury.
Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Do not mix coolant types.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in engine or cooling system
damage.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with a degas bottle system have the pressure relief cap on
the degas bottle and no radiator cap. Vehicles equipped with a coolant
expansion tank system have the pressure relief cap on the radiator.

2. Visually check the engine coolant level at the degas bottle or coolant expansion tank when the system is
cold.
3. Make sure the pressure relief cap is installed correctly.
4. Record any cooling system DTCs retrieved. Refer to the PCM DTC CHART in this service information
for DTC descriptions.
NOTE: Take note of any coolant odor or steam coming from cooling system
components.
5. If the system coolant is filled correctly and no DTCs associated with fail-safe cooling are retrieved, verify
the customer's concern by operating the engine to duplicate the condition.

7. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern that can be readily identified, repair it as necessary. Test the
8. Inspect the coolant condition in the following sequence:
1. Inspect the coolant color.
 If Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant has a clear or pale yellow color, this indicates
higher water content than required. Test the engine coolant freezing point range with the
Battery/Antifreeze Tester. The freezing point should be in the range -45°C to -23°C (-50°F to
-10°F). If the vehicle is driven in cold climates less than -36°C (-34°F), it may be necessary
to increase the coolant concentration to get adequate freeze protection. Recommended
coolant concentration is 50/50 ethylene glycol to distilled water.
 A pale green color indicates incorrect coolant (green in color) may have been added to the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
system. Use of incorrect (green in color) coolant degrades the corrosion protection of
Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Flush the system and refill with the correct
mixture of distilled water and Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant.
NOTE: If Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets are used, darkening of the
Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant from yellow to golden
tan will occur.
 Dark brown could indicate a commercially available stop leak may have been used. Flush the
system and refill with the correct mixture of distilled water and Motorcraft Premium Gold
Engine Coolant.
 A light or reddish brown color indicates that rust may be present in the cooling system. Flush
the system and refill with the correct mixture of distilled water and Motorcraft Premium Gold
Engine Coolant.
 An iridescent sheen on top of the coolant could indicate a trace of oil is entering the system.
For information on engine diagnosis, refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL
 A milky brown color may indicate that engine oil is entering the cooling system. Pressure test
the cooling system. Refer to component tests in this service information. If engine oil is
suspected, the cause of the leak may be internal to the engine. Refer to ENGINE SYSTEM -
 A red, orange or light green colored sheen on top of the coolant may indicate that
transmission fluid is entering the cooling system. The cause may be a leaky radiator. Pressure
test the cooling system. Refer to COMPONENT TESTS.
2. If the engine coolant appearance is acceptable, test the engine coolant freezing point range with the
Battery/Antifreeze Tester. The freezing point should be in the range -45°C to -23°C (-50°F to -10°
F). If the vehicle is driven in cold climates less than -36°C (-34°F), it may be necessary to increase
the coolant concentration to get adequate freeze protection. Recommended coolant concentration is
50/50 ethylene glycol to distilled water.
 Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas.
 Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60 for warm weather areas.
3. Adjust coolant range and level if necessary:

 If coolant is low, add specified coolant mixture only.
 If the engine coolant tests too weak, remove some of the engine coolant and add undiluted
engine coolant until the readings are within acceptable levels.
 If the engine coolant tests strong, remove some of the engine coolant and add distilled water
until the readings are within acceptable levels.
9. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause and test the system for
normal operation before proceeding to the next step.

Pinpoint Test A: Loss of Coolant
Normal Operation
The engine cooling system is a closed system that provides for coolant expansion and contraction and also
changes in pressure as coolant warms and cools with engine operation. Various gaskets, seals, hoses and clamps
are used to contain coolant within the cooling system and keep other fluids and contaminants from entering the
cooling system.
Coolant loss can be attributed to either external or internal leaks anywhere within the cooling system.

Pinpoint Test C: The Engine Does Not Reach Normal Operating Temperature
Normal Operation
The engine cooling system functions to maintain engine temperatures during operation. Correct coolant flow
through the engine, radiator and remainder of cooling system passages and components is essential to
maintaining a correct engine temperature.
Concerns of engine inability to reach normal operating temperature typically occur when the rate of coolant
flow through some coolant circuits (radiator, heater core) is more than expected given the conditions, or when
the cooling fans operate all the time (electric fans) or the fan clutch is always engaged (engine driven fans).
Heat is not allowed to build in the engine because a heat exchanger is removing too much heat, including the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
radiator, heater core and oil cooler. In addition, perceived concerns that the engine does not reach normal
operating temperature can be related to a low coolant level or trapped air which does not allow for hot coolant
to be available at the heater core, an inoperative climate control system, or for concerns perceived or related to
an incorrect engine temperature gauge indication.

SPEED CONTROL
NOTE: The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module
(GEM).
The speed control system consists of the following components:
 Speed control switches

 Speed control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch)
 Stoplamp switch
 Speed control indicator
 PCM
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

(GEM).
The speed control system is controlled by the PCM. The speed control system is designed to maintain a selected
vehicle speed between 48 km/h (30 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. The speed control system is
controlled by the steering wheel mounted switches (ON, OFF, SET+, SET- and RESUME), the stoplamp
switch, and the speed control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch). The steering wheel mounted
switches are hardwired to the PCM through the clockspring.
The speed control functions include:
 Turning the speed control system on

 Setting and maintaining the desired vehicle speed
 Accelerating the vehicle speed
 Decelerating the vehicle speed
 Turning the vehicle speed control system off
 Canceling the speed control
Pressing and releasing the ON switch turns the speed control system on. Pressing and releasing the SET+ or
SET- switch while the vehicle is traveling at the desired speed activates the speed control system.
Tapping the SET+ or the SET- switch while in the set mode respectively, increases or decreases the maintained
vehicle speed by 1.6 km/h (1 mph) per tap. If the respective button is pressed and held, the vehicle speed
continues to accelerate or decelerate until the button is released.
Pressing and releasing the OFF switch, or switching the ignition switch to the OFF position, turns the speed
control system off. Applying the brake pedal puts the speed control system into the STANDBY mode. Pressing
the RESUME button, when the speed control system is in the STANDBY mode causes the vehicle to accelerate
to the last set speed. Resume does not function if the OFF button is pressed, the ignition switch is in the OFF
position, or if the current vehicle speed is below the minimum operational speed.
The clockspring provides the electrical interface between the steering column wiring and the speed control
switches in the steering wheel.
The speed control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch) is provided as an additional safety feature.
When the brake pedal is applied, the speed control deactivator switch opens and removes the voltage signal
from the PCM input circuit, deactivating the speed control system.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Whenever the speed control system is engaged and active, a speed control icon on the instrument cluster (IC) is
illuminated.
The inputs to the PCM are:
 Output shaft speed (OSS) sensor

 Digital transmission range (TR) sensor
 Speed control switch
 Speed control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch)
 Accelerator pedal position sensor
 Smart junction box (SJB)
 Parking brake
The outputs of the PCM are:
 Speed control indicator lamp

 Throttle command
The speed control system throttle position is completely controlled by the PCM through the electronically
controlled throttle body. Speed control electronics are contained entirely within the PCM.
When the speed control system is active, the PCM corrects for deviations in the actual vehicle speed by
proportionally moving the throttle plate. The PCM modulates the throttle to minimize error between the actual
vehicle speed and the desired speed.
The PCM strategy uses the throttle control for smooth accelerations.
The PCM sends a message over the controller area network (CAN) to the instrument cluster (IC) whenever the
speed control telltale should be turned on or off.
In the event of an off command or a deactivation request from any source, the speed control system carries out a
deactivation and immediately returns the throttle to the idle position.
The speed control system provides self-diagnostics. Speed control is disabled anytime an error is detected in the
system. No cluster telltale or message center messages are displayed when faults occur. Fault codes are logged
by the PCM.
An electronically controlled throttle system fault also causes the speed control system to be disabled and the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates, or a message center message is displayed.
Additionally, the following conditions cause the speed control system to deactivate:
 Transmission gear selector in a position other than D or OD

 Speed control set speed is over-ridden with the accelerator pedal for a period longer than 5 minutes
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Vehicle speed loss from set speed of greater than 16 km/h (10 mph) occurs
 Vehicle speed falls below the minimum allowable limit of 48 km/h (30 mph)
 Parking brake is applied
 Speed control switch is pressed or stuck for longer than 2 minutes

Power Lock/Unlock
The power lock/unlock feature requests all of the vehicle doors locked or unlocked upon a customer request
from either door lock control switch in the vehicle. The power door locking system functions independently of
ignition status or vehicle speed.
Autolocks
The autolock feature will lock all the doors when:
 all the doors are closed,

 the ignition is in the RUN position,
 the vehicle is shifted into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, and
 the vehicle attains a speed greater than 20 km/h (12 mph) for greater than 2 seconds.
The autolock feature repeats when:
 any door is opened then closed while the ignition is in the RUN position and the vehicle speed is 15 km/h
(9 mph) or lower, and
 the vehicle attains a speed greater than 20 km/h (12 mph) for greater than 2 seconds.
Auto-Unlock
NOTE: The doors will not auto-unlock if the vehicle has been electronically locked
before the driver door is opened.
The auto-unlock feature will unlock all the doors when:
 the ignition is in the RUN position, all the doors are closed and the vehicle has been in motion at a speed
greater than 20 km/h (12 mph),
 the vehicle has come to a stop and the ignition is turned to the OFF or ACC position, and
 the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being transitioned to the OFF or ACC
position.
Smart Unlock
The smart unlock feature prevents the doors from locking with the key in the ignition lock cylinder. When the
SJB receives a lock command from a door lock control switch only, and the key is in the ignition lock cylinder
with one of the front doors open, the SJB commands the doors to lock, then unlock.
The vehicle can still be locked by locking the doors with the push button rods, the door lock cylinder or an RKE
Microsoft

command from an integrated key or the keyless entry keypad.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
The remote keyless entry (RKE) system uses an integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT). The IKT incorporates
both the passive anti-theft system (PATS) functions and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device.
The RKE transmitter is programmed automatically during PATS programming. During PATS programming,
the instrument cluster (IC) obtains the transmitter identification code (TIC) from the IKT and sends the TIC
data over the medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN) to the SJB.
The SJB accepts programming of up to 4 IKTs. In addition to the IKTs, 4 conventional keyfobs can also be
programmed to the vehicle if requested by the customer. For information on programming the IKTs, refer to
Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) Key Programming
Using Diagnostic Equipment in ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) article. For
information on programming the conventional keyfobs, refer to Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter
Programming.

Fig. 2: Identifying Key Without Power Liftgate

The IKT initiates the following electronic system functions:
 Unlocks the driver door

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Unlocks all doors

 Locks all doors
 Opens the power liftgate (if equipped)
 Arms/disarms the perimeter alarm (if equipped)
 Activates/deactivates the panic alarm
 Commands the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking)
 Recalls the memory seat position associated with a particular remote entry device (when enabled)
 Sounds the horn once when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and the doors are closed
 Sounds the horn twice when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and any door is ajar
The IKT has a normal operating range of 10 m (33 ft).
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Lock/Unlock Control - Unlock
The RKE feature provides lock/unlock functions independently of key position, vehicle speed, or transmission
position. The RKE feature provides a stepped (if enabled) process for unlocking the doors. Upon receipt of the
first request for unlocking the doors, the RKE control feature requests the SJB to unlock the driver door only. If
another unlock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE feature requests the SJB to unlock all
the doors. This feature can be disabled, so that all the doors unlock on the first press of the unlock button. Refer
to Stepped Unlock Programming for programming information.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Lock/Unlock Control - Lock
The RKE feature requests that all the doors be locked when the LOCK button is pressed. On any press of the
LOCK button with all doors closed, the SJB provides one flash of the turn signals. If any door is ajar, no flash
occurs. As soon as the last door is closed, the SJB provides the flash of the turn signals. If 2 presses of the
LOCK button are received within 3 seconds, the horn chirps once and the turn signals flash twice to indicate
that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within 3
seconds of the first, the RKE transmitter feature requests the SJB chirp the horn twice without flashing the turn
signals to indicate it locked all the doors but one or more doors are ajar. When the key is in the ON or START
position, the turn signal flashes and horn chirp confirmations do not occur.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Power Liftgate
The RKE feature provides a power liftgate open/close function independently of key position. The power
liftgate button must be pressed twice within 3 seconds for the power liftgate to open or close.
Panic Alarm
The panic alarm feature provides audible and visual alarms which are evident from the exterior of the vehicle.
The panic alarm feature requests that the turn signals are flashed and the horn sounds until deactivation. The
flashing of the outputs occurs simultaneously. Activation of the panic alarm is accomplished by pressing the
PANIC button on an integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) whenever the key is in the OFF position. At all other
times this feature is disabled. Deactivation of an active panic alarm is accomplished by any of the following
actions:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 a second press of the IKT PANIC button

 the key is switched out of the OFF position
 a period of 2 minutes and 45 seconds has elapsed since the initial activation
Keyless Entry Keypad
The keyless entry keypad carries out the following functions:
 Unlocks the driver door

 Unlocks all the doors
 Locks all doors
 Enables/disables auto-unlocking
 Enables/disables autolocking
 Arms/disarms the perimeter alarm (if equipped)
 Recalls the memory seat position associated with a particular customer key code (when enabled)
 Programs/erases the customer key code
 Illuminates the keyless entry keypad lamp and issues illuminated entry on/off requests
The keypad feature operates independently of key position status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When
an keypad button is pressed, the keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If the lock all doors
command is entered or 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.
Each vehicle equipped with a keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the
customer through a wallet card in the Owner's Literature. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool
and is also printed on the SJB label. When entering codes each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the
previous button press.
Locking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad System
It is not necessary to enter the factory set or personal code prior to locking all doors. To lock all doors, press the
7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time.
Unlocking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad System
To unlock the driver door, enter either the factory set code or a personal code; each digit must be pressed within
5 seconds of the prior digit. The interior lamps illuminate.
To unlock all doors, enter either the factory set code or a personal code (driver door unlocks) and press the 3/4
button within 5 seconds.
Anti-Scan Feature
To provide added security, the keypad is disabled for 1 minute after 35 button presses without a valid entry code
being entered. The keypad flashes during this 1-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.
Anti-scan is turned off after 1 minute of keypad inactivity, the UNLOCK button is pressed on an IKT, or the
ignition is switched to the RUN position.
Perimeter Lighting Feature
Vehicles equipped with perimeter lighting can have this feature activated or deactivated. For information on
programming the perimeter lighting feature, refer to Perimeter Lighting Feature Programming.
NOTE: On vehicles with autolamps, the perimeter lighting feature does not activate in
daylight conditions.
The headlamps, park lamps, and tail lamps illuminate when the unlock control on the IKT is pressed. The
illuminated entry system will turn off the interior lamps if:
 The ignition switch is turned to the RUN position

 The IKT lock control is pressed
 The vehicle is locked using the keyless entry keypad (if equipped)
 After 25 seconds have elapsed since the perimeter lighting was activated

(GEM).
The SJB monitors the door lock control switches. When the SJB receives an unlock/lock command from either
door lock control switch, the SJB energizes a relay to supply the correct power and grounds for the door lock
actuators.
Liftgate Release
The liftgate release switch operates the liftgate latch electronically. When the switch is pressed, the SJB
processes the input and releases the liftgate latch.
The doors must be unlocked electronically in order for the SJB to release the liftgate latch. When this condition
is met and the SJB receives the input from the liftgate release switch, the SJB provides power to the latch
release motor.
Keyless Entry Keypad
The SJB monitors the keyless entry keypad input. When the correct codes are entered into the SJB, the SJB
carries out functions associated with the code entered. Based on input from the keypad, the SJB:
 locks all doors.

 unlocks the driver door.
 unlocks all doors.
 enters programming mode.
 enables/disables the autolock feature.
 enables/disables the auto-unlock feature.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
The SJB receives input from programmed integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs). Based on input from the IKT,
the SJB:
 locks all doors.

 unlocks the driver door.
 unlocks all doors.
 activates/deactivates the panic alarm.
 arms/disarms the perimeter alarm (if equipped).
 if equipped, issues a command over the communication network to the liftgate/trunk module (LTM) to
open the power liftgate.
Microsoft

 if equipped, activates the memory positions.

 turns the interior lamps on (when unlocking) and off (when locking), provided the defeat switch on the
dimmer switch is not active.
 sounds the horn once when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and the doors are closed.
 sounds the horn twice when LOCK is pressed twice within 3 seconds, and any door is open.
Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection
The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the headlamp output
circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut
down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault is detected. A continuous DTC is
stored at that time for the fault. The circuit will then reset after a customer demand of the function (switching
the component on, battery saver being energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the
module shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. At the same time, the continuous DTC that
was stored on the first failure will not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not
allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal until a successful on-demand self-test proves that
the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs
present), the continuous DTC will have been cleared and the circuit function will return.
Each circuit has 3 predefined levels of short circuit tolerance established in the module based on each circuits'
capability. When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC associated with the circuit sets along
with DTC B106E. These DTCs may be cleared using the Clear DTC operation on the scan tool as long as the
fault itself has been corrected. If any of the circuits are shorted past the third level, then DTCs B106F and
B1342 set along with the associated continuous DTC. These DTCs cannot be cleared and the module must be
replaced.
The SJB FET protected output circuits for the handles, locks, latches and entry systems are the liftgate lock
actuator circuit CPL10 (GN/WH) and the keypad illumination circuit CPK28 (WH/GN).

ACCESSORY DRIVE
This vehicle is equipped with the following components:
 V-ribbed serpentine accessory drive belt

 Automatic drive belt tensioner
 V-ribbed power steering pump drive belt
The accessory drive system provides power to operate components which power other systems. These could
include components such as the generator, power steering pump and A/C compressor. Each of these
components is equipped with a pulley which is driven by the accessory drive belt. The accessory drive belt is
driven by the engine crankshaft pulley. The automatic belt tensioner maintains correct belt tension and
compensates for component wear and changes in system load. System load changes can be caused by the A/C
compressor clutch engaging or disengaging or demand changes on other systems powered by the accessory
drive belt. To maintain correct operation of this system, it is critical that the correct length drive belt be
installed. The pulleys must also be correctly aligned and kept clean.

Belt Tensioner
Automatic tensioners are calibrated to provide the correct amount of tension to the belt for a given accessory
drive system. Unless a spring or damping band within the tensioner assembly breaks or some other mechanical
part of the tensioner fails, there is no need to check the tensioner for correct tension.

7. The condition of the V-ribbed drive belt should be compared against the illustration and appropriate
action taken.
1. Small scattered deposits of rubber material. This is not a concern, therefore, installation of a new
belt is not required.
2. Longer deposit areas building up to 50% of the rib height. This is not considered a durability
concern, but it can result in excessive noise. If noise is apparent, install a new belt.
3. Heavy deposits building up along the grooves resulting in a possible noise and belt stability
concern. If heavy deposits are apparent, install a new belt.

Drive Belt - Noise/Flutter
NOTE: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys
have any fluids or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material
and tensioner damping mechanism may occur.
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of a damaged
or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area with a
straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft direction or at an
angle to the straightedge.
Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on an accessory
pulley under certain conditions.
A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start up and shut down or during very rapid engine
acceleration and decelerations, such as:
 Wide Open Throttle (WOT) 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back-out shifts on automatic transmissions.
 WOT 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual transmissions.
These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias required to
meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or reoccurring drive belt squeal
can occur:
 if the A/C discharge pressure goes above specifications:

 the A/C system is overcharged.
 the A/C condenser core airflow is blocked.
 the A/C anti-slugging strategy executes after a long hot heat soak.
 if the A/C off equalized pressure (the common discharged and suction pressure that occurs after several
minutes) exceeds specifications.
 if any of the accessories or idler pulley(s) are damaged or have a worn or damaged bearing. All
accessories should be rotatable by hand in the unloaded condition. If not, inspect the accessory.
 if there is evidence of fluid contamination on the accessory drive belt. When the drive belt has been
exposed to fluid contamination during vehicle operation, such as leaks from the power steering system,
A/C system or cooling system, clean all pulleys with soap and water, rinse with clean water and install a
new accessory drive belt. If the drive belt has been exposed to fluids in a localized area during routine
vehicle service, such as replacement of hoses or fluids, the drive belt and pulleys should be washed with
soap and water immediately (prior to starting the engine), and rinsed with clean water.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 if the accessory drive belt is too long. A drive belt that is too long will allow the accessory drive belt
tensioner arm to go all the way to the arm travel stop under certain load conditions, which will release
tension to the drive belt. If the accessory drive belt tensioner indicator is outside the normal installation
wear range window, install a new accessory drive belt.
NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner arm should rotate freely without
binding.
 Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.
Drive Belt - Incorrect Installation
NOTE: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear
and may cause the drive belt to come off the pulleys.
Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt tracks
incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failure or loss of the drive belt.
Fig. 7: Identifying Drive Belt Incorrect Installation

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 8: Identifying Correct Installation Of Drive Belt

With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the accessory drive
belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur. Make sure the accessory drive
belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the
following:
 Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage and wear, especially the mounting pad
surface and arm alignment. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the mounting
surface pad will be out of position. If the tensioner arm is worn, the arm will be out of alignment. Either
of these conditions will result in chirp and squeal noises.
 With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the pulley
forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.
 Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any interference that
would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference condition and recheck
the accessory drive belt tracking.
 Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
Belt Tensioner - Mechanical
The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for tensioner stick, grab or bind.
1. With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under Accessory
Drive .
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires
substantial force to release.
2. Using a suitable, commercially available serpentine belt tensioner release tool, release the tension on the
belt and detach the accessory drive belt from the tensioner. Carry out the following tests:
 Using the release tool, move the tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke and back
to the relaxed position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that there is
tension on the tensioner spring.
 Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized condition.
 Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination and
repair any leaks.
3. If the accessory drive belt tensioner does not meet the criteria in the previous step, install a new tensioner.
If the accessory drive belt tensioner meets the criteria in the previous step, proceed to testing the tensioner
dynamically.
4. If the tensioner is saturated with oil and grease internally, install a new tensioner.
Belt Tensioner - Dynamics
The accessory drive belt tensioner can be checked dynamically as follows:
1. With the engine running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory drive
tensioner should move (respond) when the A/C clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is
accelerated rapidly. If the accessory drive belt tensioner movement is excessive without A/C clutch
cycling or engine acceleration, check belt rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in the
belt) can cause excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by installing
a new belt. If excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new accessory drive
belt tensioner.

Principals of Operation
Driveline System - General Information
The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission in
front wheel drive (FWD), or the transmission and the power transfer unit (PTU) in all wheel drive (AWD) to
place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or PTU is delivered to the front
wheels by halfshafts or the rear axle by way of the driveshaft(s). The U-joints or constant velocity (CV) joints at
the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is
introduced into the axle drive pinion which drives the differential ring gear. The ring gear is bolted to the axle
differential which divides the torque between the left and right axle shafts, while permitting the shafts to turn at

Analysis of Leakage
Clean up the leaking area enough to identify the exact source.
A plugged rear drive unit (RDU) housing vent can cause excessive pinion seal lip wear due to internal pressure
buildup.
Verify the RDU lubricant level is at least 3-5 mm (1/8-3/16 in) below the bottom of the fill hole.
Axle Vent
A plugged vent will cause excessive seal lip wear due to internal pressure buildup. If a leak occurs, check the
vent. If the vent cannot be cleared, install a new vent.
Drive Pinion Seal
Leaks at the drive pinion seal originate from the following causes:
 Damaged seal
 Worn seal journal surface
Any damage to the seal bore (dings, dents, gouges or other imperfections) distorts the seal casing and allows
leakage past the outer edge of the drive pinion seal.
The drive pinion seal can be torn, cut or gouged if it is not installed correctly. The spring that holds the drive
pinion seal against the pinion flange may be knocked out and allow fluid to pass the lip.
Metal chips trapped at the sealing lip can cause oil leaks. These can cause a wear groove on the drive pinion
flange and result in pinion seal wear.
When a seal leak occurs, install a new drive pinion seal and check the vent to make sure it is clean and free of
foreign material.
A new drive pinion flange must be installed if any of these conditions exist.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Drive Pinion Nut
CAUTION: Install the drive pinion nut to the correct torque specifications or damage
to the differential components may occur.
On some high-mileage vehicles, oil may leak through the threads of the drive pinion nut. This condition can be
corrected by installing a new nut and applying threadlock and sealer on the threads and nut face.
Differential Seals
CAUTION: When installing shafts, do not allow splines to contact seals during
installation or damage to the seals may occur.
Halfshaft pilot bearing housing seals are susceptible to the same types of damage as drive pinion seals if
incorrectly installed. The seal bore must be clean and the lip handled carefully to avoid cutting or tearing it. The
seal journal surface must be free of nicks, gouges and rough surface texture.
For information on differential seals, refer to REAR DRIVE AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL article.
GENERAL PROCEDURES
DRIVELINE ANGLE MEASUREMENT
SPECIAL TOOLS
Anglemaster II Driveline
164-R2402 or equivalent
Inclinometer/Protractor
NOTE: This procedure does not apply to CV joints, flex couplers or double Carden
joints that are used in some driveshafts. This check is for single-cross and
roller-style joints found in the driveshafts.
NOTE: Prior to checking driveline angularity, inspect the U-joints for correct operation.
NOTE: An incorrect driveline angle can cause a vibration or shudder. For additional
information, refer to NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS article.
NOTE: Driveline angularity is the angular relationship between the engine crankshaft,
the driveshaft and the rear axle pinion. Factors determining driveline angularity
include ride height, rear spring and engine mounts.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
All vehicles
1. Carry out the following preliminary setup steps:

 Inspect the U-joints for correct operation.
 Park the vehicle on a level surface such as a drive-on hoist, or back onto a front end alignment rack.
 Verify the curb position ride height is within specifications with the vehicle unloaded and all of the
tires are inflated to their normal operating pressures.
 Calibrate the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor by placing it on a clean, flat level
section of the frame rail and press the ALT-ZERO button.
Vehicles with flat-flanged, split-pin or slip-flanged U-joints
NOTE: If equipped, remove the snap ring to allow access to the base of the U-joint
cup. Make sure the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor is
seated against the U-joint cup.
NOTE: Rotate the driveshaft until the flange U-joint cup is parallel with the floor.
This will simplify taking measurements.
2. To check the U-joint operating angle, install the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor. Check
and record the flange angle as angle A.
Fig. 2: Checking Flange Angle (1 Of 2)

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 3: Checking Flange Angle (2 Of 2)

3. Using the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor, measure the slope of the connecting
component. Record the measurements of the component's angle as angle B.
Fig. 4: Checking Driveshaft Angle

Multiple piece driveshafts
NOTE: Repeat this step for each center support bearing on the driveshaft.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the U-joint snap ring, if equipped, for these
measurements.
4. Using the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor, measure the slope of the components in front
and behind the center support bearing U-joint in the area indicated. Record the front component as angle
A and the rear component as angle B.
Fig. 5: Locating Index Mark On Driveshaft

All vehicles
NOTE: When 2 connected components slope in the same direction, subtract the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
smallest number from the larger number to find the U-joint operating
angle. When 2 connected components slope in the opposite direction, add
the measurements to find the U-joint operating angle.
5. Calculate the difference in the slope of the components to determine the U-joint operating angle.
 The U-joint operating angle is the angle formed by 2 yokes connected by a cross and bearing kit.
Ideally, the operating angles on each connection of the driveshaft must:
 be equal or within one degree of each other.
 have a 3 degree maximum operating angle.
 have at least 1/2 of one degree continuous operating angle.
6. If the angle is not within specifications, repair or adjust to obtain the correct angle. Inspect the engine
mounts, transmission mounts, center support bearing mounting, rear suspension, rear axle, rear axle
mounting or the frame for wear or damage.

Driveshaft Inspection
NOTE: Driveline vibration exhibits a higher frequency and lower amplitude than high-
speed shake. Driveline vibration is directly related to the speed of the vehicle
and is noticed at various speeds. Driveline vibration can be perceived as a
tremor in the floorpan or heard as a rumble, hum or boom.
NOTE: Refer to SPECIFICATIONS for all runout specifications.
NOTE: Do not make any adjustments before carrying out a road test. Do not
change the tire pressure or the vehicle load.
1. Carry out a visual inspection of the vehicle. Operate the vehicle and verify the condition by reproducing it
during the road test.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The concern should be directly related to vehicle road speed, not affected by acceleration or

deceleration or could not be reduced by coasting in NEUTRAL.
 The driveshaft should be kept at an angle equal to or close to the curb-weighted position. Use a
twin-post hoist or a frame hoist with jackstands.
3. Inspect the driveshaft for damage, undercoating or incorrectly seated U-joints. Rotate the driveshaft
slowly by hand and feel for binding or end play in the U-joint trunnions. Remove the driveshaft. For
additional information, refer to DRIVESHAFT article. Inspect the slip yoke splines for any galling, dirt,
rust or incorrect lubrication. Clean the driveshaft or install new U-joints as necessary. Install a new
driveshaft if damaged. After any corrections or new components are installed, recheck for the vibration at
the road test speed.
 If the vibration is gone, test drive the vehicle.
 If the vibration persists or the driveshaft passes visual inspection, measure the driveshaft runout.
Driveshaft Runout
1. Install the suitable Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture. Rotate the driveshaft by turning the axle
and measure the runout at the front, the center and the rear of the driveshaft.
 If the runout exceeds 0.89 mm (0.035 in) at the front or center, install a new driveshaft.
 If the front and center is within 1 mm (0.254 in), but the rear runout is not, index-mark the rear
runout high point and proceed to Step 2.
 If the runout is within 0.89 mm (0.035 in) at all points, recheck for vibration at road test speed. If
the vibration persists, balance the driveshaft. For additional information, refer to appropriate
Driveshaft Balancing procedure.
NOTE: Circular pinion flanges can be turned in 90 degree or 1/4 increments. Half-
round pinion flanges are limited to 2 positions.
2. Index-mark the driveshaft to the pinion flange. Disconnect the driveshaft and rotate it 180 degrees.
Reconnect the driveshaft. Recheck the runout at the rear of the driveshaft.
 If the runout is still over specification, mark the high point and proceed to Step 3.
 If the runout is within specification, check for the vibration at the road test speed. If the vibration is
still present, balance the driveshaft. For additional information, refer to appropriate Driveshaft
Balancing procedure.
3. Excessive driveshaft runout can originate in the driveshaft itself or from the pinion flange. To find the
source, compare the 2 high points previously determined.
 If the index marks are close together, within 25 mm (1 in), the driveshaft is eccentric. Install a new
driveshaft.
 If the marks are on opposite sides of the driveshaft, 180 degrees apart, the slip yoke or pinion
flange is responsible. Check the pinion flange runout. If the pinion flange runout exceeds
specifications, a bent pinion is indicated.
 If the pinion flange and pinion runouts are within specifications, road test and check for the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
vibration at the road test speed. If the vibration persists, balance the driveshaft. For additional
information, refer to appropriate Driveshaft Balancing procedure.

Driveshaft Balancing - Hose Clamp Method
1. Install 1 or 2 hose clamps on the driveshaft, near the rear. Position of the hose clamp head(s) can be
determined through trial and error.
2. Mark the rear of the driveshaft into 4 approximately equal sectors and number the marks 1 through 4.
Install a hose clamp on the driveshaft with its head at position No. 1, as shown in the figure below. Check
for vibration at road speed. Recheck with the clamp at each of the other positions to find the position that
shows minimum vibration. If 2 adjacent positions show equal improvement, position the clamp head
between them.
Fig. 13: Marking Rear Driveshaft Into Four Equal Sections

3. If the vibration persists, add a second clamp at the same position and recheck for vibration.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 14: Adding Second Clamp To Driveshaft

4. If no improvement is noted, rotate the clamps in opposite directions, equal distances from the best
position determined in Step 2. Separate the clamp heads about 13 mm (1/2 in) and recheck for vibration at
the road speed.
Fig. 15: Rotating Clamps In Opposite Directions

5. Repeat the process with increasing separation until the best combination is found or the vibration is
reduced to an acceptable level.

DRIVESHAFT
NOTE: All driveshaft assemblies are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the
driveshaft to prevent overspray of any undercoating material.
The driveshaft assembly consists of the following:
 Rubber isolated center support bearings

 Constant velocity (CV) joint at the power transfer unit (PTU)
 U-joints at the center supports and pinion flange
 Assembly balanced with traditional balance weights
 Lubed-for-life joints requiring no periodic lubrication
The driveshaft transfers torque from the PTU to the rear axle. It is attached to the PTU flange with a CV joint.
The 3-piece shaft is connected by a staked U-joint at each center bearing and attached to the rear pinion flange.
The driveshaft joints allow the smooth continuous rotation of the driveshaft through the allowable angle planes
and length variations required in normal vehicle operation. The driveshaft is always turning at front wheel
speed. The driveshaft is not serviceable. A new driveshaft must be installed if worn or damaged.
UNIVERSAL JOINTS
The U-joints consist of the following:
 A single spider (cross)

 Lubed-for-life design and require no periodic lubrication
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Nylon thrust washers, located at each base of the bearing cup, which control end play, position the needle
bearing and improve grease movement
 Grease seals located at the opening of each bearing cup to retain the grease for the bearing lubrication
 Bearing cups that retain the needle bearings and locate the spider on the centerline of the shaft bore to
control shaft runout and balance
The U-joints are staked in place and are not serviced individually. If worn or damaged, install a new driveshaft
assembly.
The 3 U-joints in this driveshaft assembly allow the driveshaft tubes to rotate smoothly through the varying
angles of the power transfer unit (PTU), the center support bearings and the rear drive unit (RDU). The angles
that cause the U-joints to accelerate and decelerate may cause vibration in the driveshaft assembly if the angles
are either too great or too small. Refer to DRIVELINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS
The electronic engine controls consist of the:
 PCM.
 cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 camshaft position (CMP) sensor.

 crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
 mass air flow (MAF) sensor.
 heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
 catalyst monitor sensor.
 variable camshaft timing (VCT) oil control solenoid.
 knock sensor (KS).
The PCM carries out the following functions:
 accepts input from various engine sensors to compute the fuel flow rate necessary to maintain a
prescribed air/fuel ratio throughout the entire engine operational range.
 outputs a command to the fuel injectors to meter the appropriate quantity of fuel.
The CHT sensor:
 sends the PCM a signal indicating cylinder head temperature.

 resistance decreases as cylinder head temperature increases.
The CMP sensor:
 sends the PCM a signal indicating camshaft position used for fuel synchronization.
The CKP sensor:
 sends the PCM a signal indicating crankshaft position.

 is essential for calculating spark timing.
The MAF sensor:
 uses a hot wire sensing element to measure the amount of air entering the engine. Air passing over the hot
wire causes it to cool.
The HO2S:
 creates a voltage signal dependent on exhaust oxygen content.

 provides feedback information to the PCM used to calculate fuel delivery.
The catalyst monitor sensor:
 monitors oxygen content after it flows through the catalytic converter.

 provides a voltage to the PCM used to calculate catalytic converter integrity.
The KS:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 is used to detect engine detonation.

 sends a voltage signal to the PCM.
 is able to provide a signal which retards the ignition timing, as necessary.
The VCT oil control solenoid:
 is an electrically controlled hydraulic valve that directs engine oil to the camshaft phaser. Once the PCM
transmits a signal, the solenoid moves a valve spool, directing oil into the camshaft phaser cavity. This
action changes valve timing by either inducing an advance or retard condition. The camshaft is, thereby
repositioned in relation to crankshaft timing and allows for optimum engine performance and lower
emissions.

ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL
NOTE: Do not permanently remove or render inoperative any part of the vehicle
emission control system including related hardware. Failure to comply may
violate applicable state and federal laws.
The engine emission control system consists of the PCV system.
The PCV system consists of the:
 crankcase ventilation tube.

 PCV fitting.
 PCV valve.
The PCV system uses intake manifold vacuum to ventilate blow-by fumes from the crankcase and return the
vapors to the intake manifold for combustion. The PCV valve varies the amount of blow-by gases returned to
the intake manifold based on available engine vacuum. The PCV valve also prevents the entry of combustion
backfiring into the crankcase.

There are 2 diagnostic paths that can be followed depending on the type of engine concern. Carry out Inspection
and Verification - Engine Performance or Inspection and Verification - NVH.
Inspection and Verification - Engine Performance
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the engine to duplicate the condition.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage. Refer to the following chart.

Mechanical
 Engine coolant leaks
 Engine oil leaks
 Fuel leaks
 Damaged or severely worn parts
 Loose mounting bolts, studs and nuts
3. If the inspection reveals obvious concerns that can be readily identified, repair as necessary.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove out confirms power


diagnose no power to the scan tool.

PCM.
9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the DTC Chart, refer to MULTIFUNCTION
10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to SYMPTOM CHART - ENGINE table.
Inspection and Verification - NVH
1. NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools and techniques that are available. For a
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
list of these techniques, tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to
NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS article.
2. Verify the customer concern by operating the engine to duplicate the condition.
3. Check the engine oil level and check the oil for contamination. Low engine oil level or contaminated oil
are a common cause of engine noise. If the oil is contaminated, the source of the contamination must be
identified and repaired as necessary.

Mechanical
 Loose mounting bolts, studs and nuts
 Damaged or leaking powertrain mounts
 Damaged or disconnected vacuum hoses
 Obstruction of cooling fan
 Obstruction of Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD)

11. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the DTC Chart, refer to MULTIFUNCTION
12. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, continue the inspection and verification if a noise concern
is related to the engine. For vibration concerns and noise concerns such as powertrain mounts, air intake
system and starter Go to SYMPTOM CHART - NVH table.
In some cases, a noise may be a normal characteristic of that engine type. In other cases the noise may
require further investigation. Comparing the noise to a similar year/model vehicle equipped with the same
engine will aid in determining if the noise is normal or abnormal.
Once a customer concern has been identified as an abnormal engine noise, it is critical to determine the
location of the specific noise. Use the EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope (the noise will always be
louder closer to the noise source) to isolate the location of the noise to one of the following:
 Fuel injector(s)
 Upper end of engine
 Lower end of engine
 Front of engine
 Rear of engine
Fuel injector noise - A common source of an engine ticking noise can be related to the fuel injector(s).
This is normal engine noise that can be verified by listening to another vehicle. If the injector noise is
excessive or irregular, use the EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope to isolate the noise to a specific
fuel injector.
Upper end engine noise - A common source of upper end engine noise (ticking, knocking or rattle)
include the camshaft(s) and valve train. Upper end engine noise can be determined using the
EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope on the valve cover bolts. If the noise is loudest from the valve
cover bolts, then the noise is upper end. The EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope can be used to
further isolate the noise to the specific cylinder bank and cylinder. Removal of the valve covers will be
required to pinpoint the source of the noise.
Lower end engine noise - A common source of lower end engine noise (ticking or knocking) include the
crankshaft, connecting rod(s) and bearings. Lower end noises can be determined by using the oil pan or
cylinder block lug bosses. If the noise is loudest from these areas, then the noise is lower end. If an engine
noise is isolated to the lower end, some disassembly of the engine may be required to inspect for damage
or wear.
Front of engine noise - A common source of noise from the front of the engine (squeal, chirp, whine or
hoot) is the Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) components. To isolate FEAD noise, carry out the
Engine Accessory Test, refer to NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS article.
Some other noises from the front of the engine (ticking, tapping or rattle) may be internal to the engine.
Use the EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope on the engine front cover to determine if the noise is
internal to the engine. Removal of the engine front cover may be necessary to inspect internal engine
components.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Rear of engine noise - A common source of noise from the rear of the engine (knocking) is the
flywheel/flexplate. Inspection of the flywheel/flexplate will be necessary.
If equipped, the Rear End Accessory Drive (READ) can also be a source of noise from the rear of the
engine (squeal or chirp). The READ consists of the coolant pump and belt.
Some engines have timing drive components at the rear of the engine and may be the source of noise
(ticking, knocking or rattle). Use the EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope on the rear of the engine if
the noise is suspected to be internal to the engine. Some disassembly of the engine may be required to
inspect for damage or wear.
13. After the noise is localized, note the characteristics of the noise, including type of noise, frequency and
conditions when the noise occurs and Go to SYMPTOM CHART - NVH table.

Component Tests
The following component tests are used to diagnose engine concerns.
Engine Oil Leaks
NOTE: When diagnosing engine oil leaks, the source of the leak must be positively
identified prior to repair. If the vehicle is driven extensively between adding the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
fluorescent additive and performing the leak test, fan air or wind can spread the
leaking oil and make identifying the location of the leak difficult.
Prior to carrying out this procedure, clean the cylinder block, cylinder heads, valve covers, oil pan and flywheel
with a suitable solvent to remove all traces of oil.
Engine Oil Leaks - Fluorescent Oil Additive Method
Use the 12 Volt Master UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit to carry out the following procedure for oil leak
diagnosis.
1. Add 29.6 ml (1 oz) of gasoline engine oil dye to a minimum of 0.47L (1/2 qt) and a maximum of 0.95L (1
qt) engine oil and fill through the engine oil fill. Thoroughly premix the gasoline engine oil dye or it will
not have enough time to reach the crankcase, oil galleries and seal surfaces during this particular 15
minute test. The additive must be mixed well with oil and added through the oil fill. Check the level on
the oil level indicator to determine what amount of oil to premix. If it is in the middle of the crosshatch
area or below the full mark, use 0.95L (1 qt). If it is at the full mark, use 0.47L (1/2 qt).
2. Run the engine for 15 minutes. Stop the engine and inspect all seal and gasket areas for leaks using the 12
Volt Master UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit. A clear bright yellow or orange area will identify the leak. For
extremely small leaks, several hours may be required for the leak to appear.
3. At the end of test, make sure the oil level is within the upper and lower oil indicator marks. Remove oil as
necessary if it registers above the full mark.
Leakage Points - Underhood
Examine the following areas for oil leakage:
 Valve cover gaskets

 Cylinder head gaskets
 Oil cooler, if equipped
 Oil filter adapter
 Engine front cover
 Oil filter adapter and filter body
 Oil level indicator tube connection
 Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) switch

 Oil pan gaskets

 Oil pan sealer
 Engine front cover gasket

 Crankshaft front seal

 Crankshaft rear oil seal
 Oil filter adapter and filter body
 Oil cooler, if equipped
Leakage Points - With Transmission and Flywheel Removed
 Crankshaft rear oil seal

 Rear main bearing cap parting line
 Flexplate mounting bolt holes (with flexplate installed)
 Pipe plugs at the end of oil passages
Oil leaks at crimped seams in sheet metal parts and cracks in cast or stamped parts can be detected when using
the dye method.
Compression Test
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the battery is
correctly charged. Operate the vehicle until the engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn the
ignition switch to the OFF position, then remove all the spark plugs.
2. Set the throttle plates in the wide-open position.
3. Install a compression gauge such as the Compression Tester in the No. 1 cylinder.
4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, and
using the auxiliary starter switch, crank the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and record the
highest reading. Note the approximate number of compression strokes necessary to obtain the highest
reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of compression
strokes.
Compression Test - Test Results
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading cylinder is at least
75% of the highest reading. Refer to the COMPRESSION PRESSURE LIMIT CHART.

If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil meeting Ford
specification on top of the pistons in the low-reading cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these
cylinders.
Compression Test - Interpreting Compression Readings
1. If compression improves considerably, piston rings are worn or damaged.

2. If compression does not improve, valves are sticking or not seating correctly.
3. If 2 adjacent cylinders indicate low compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not
increase compression, the head gasket may be leaking between cylinders. Engine oil or coolant in
cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75% of the highest reading.
Cylinder Leakage Detection
When a cylinder produces a low reading, use of the Engine Cylinder Leak Detection/Air Pressurization Kit will
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
be helpful in pinpointing the exact cause.
The leakage detector is inserted in the spark plug hole, the piston is brought up to Top Dead Center (TDC) on
the compression stroke, and compressed air is admitted.
Once the combustion chamber is pressurized, a special gauge included in the kit will read the percentage of
leakage. Leakage exceeding 20% is excessive.
While the air pressure is retained in the cylinder, listen for the hiss of escaping air. A leak at the intake valve
will be heard in the Throttle Body (TB). A leak at the exhaust valve can be heard at the tailpipe. Leakage past
the piston rings will be audible at the PCV connection. If air is passing through a blown head gasket to an
adjacent cylinder, the noise will be evident at the spark plug hole of the cylinder into which the air is leaking.
Cracks in the cylinder block or gasket leakage into the cooling system may be detected by a stream of bubbles
in the radiator.
Excessive Engine Oil Consumption
Nearly all engines consume oil, which is essential for normal lubrication of the cylinder bore walls and pistons
and rings. Determining the level of oil consumption may require testing by recording how much oil is being
added over a given set of miles.
Customer driving habits greatly influence oil consumption. Mileage accumulated during towing or heavy
loading generates extra heat. Frequent short trips, stop-and-go type traffic or extensive idling, prevent the
engine from reaching normal operating temperature. This prevents component clearances from reaching
specified operating ranges.
The following diagnostic procedure may be utilized to determine internal oil consumption. Make sure that the
concern is related to internal oil consumption, and not external leakage, which also consumes oil. Verify there
are no leaks before carrying out the test. Once verified, the rate of internal oil consumption can be tested.
A new engine may require extra oil in the early stages of operation. Internal piston-to-bore clearances and
sealing characteristics improve as the engine breaks in. Engines are designed for close tolerances and do not
require break-in oils or additives. Use the oil specified in the Owner's Literature. Ambient temperatures may
determine the oil viscosity specification. Verify that the correct oil is being used for the vehicle in the
geographic region in which it is driven.
Basic Pre-checks
1. For persistent complaints of oil consumption, interview the customer to determine the oil consumption
characteristics. If possible, determine the brand and grade of oil currently in the oil pan. Look at the oil
filter or oil-change station tags to determine if Ford-recommended maintenance schedules have been
followed. Make sure that the oil has been changed at the specified mileage intervals. If vehicle mileage is
past the first recommended drain interval, the OEM production filter should have been changed.
2. Ask how the most current mileage was accumulated. That is, determine whether the vehicle was driven
under the following conditions:
 Extended idling or curbside engine operation
 Stop-and-go traffic or taxi operation

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Towing a trailer or vehicle loaded heavily

 Frequent short trips (engine not up to normal operating temperature)
 Excessive throttling or high engine-RPM driving
3. Verify that there are no external leaks. If necessary, review the diagnostic procedure under ENGINE
OIL LEAKS in Diagnosis and Testing .
4. Inspect the crankcase ventilation system for:
 disconnected hoses at the valve cover or TB.
 loose or missing valve cover fill cap.
 missing or incorrectly seated engine oil level indicator.
 incorrect or dirty PCV valve.
 a PCV valve grommet unseated in the valve cover (if so equipped).
5. Inspect for signs of sludge. Sludge affects PCV performance and can plug or restrict cylinder head
drainback wells. It can also increase oil pressure by restricting passages and reducing the drainback
capability of piston oil control rings. Sludge can result from either excessive water ingestion in the
crankcase or operation at extremely high crankcase temperatures.
6. Inspect the air filter for dirt, sludge or damage. A hole in the filter element will allow unfiltered air to
bypass into the air induction system. This can cause premature internal wear (engine dusting), allowing
oil to escape past rings, pistons, valves and guides.
7. If the engine is hot or was recently shut down, wait at least 5 minutes to allow the oil to drain back. Ask
the customer if this requirement has been followed. Adding oil without this wait period can cause an
overfill condition, leading to excessive oil consumption and foaming, which may cause engine damage.
8. Make sure the oil level indicator (dipstick) is correctly and fully seated in the indicator tube. Remove the
oil level indicator and record the oil level.
Detailed Pre-checks
1. Check the thermostat opening temperature to make sure that the cooling system is operating at the
specified temperature. If it is low, internal engine parts are not running at specified internal operating
clearances.
2. Verify the spark plugs are not oil saturated. Oil leaking into one or more cylinders will appear as an oil
soaked condition on the plug. If a plug is saturated, a compression check may be necessary at the
conclusion of the oil consumption test.
Oil Consumption Test
Once all of the previous conditions are met, carry out an oil consumption test.
1. Drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter. Install a new manufacturer-specified oil filter. Make sure
the vehicle is positioned on a level surface. Refill the oil pan to a level one liter (quart) less than the
specified fill level, using manufacturer-specified oil.
2. Run the engine for 3 minutes (if hot) or 10 minutes (if cold). Allow for a minimum 5-minute drainback
period and then record the oil level shown on the oil level indicator. Place a mark on the backside of the
oil level indicator noting the oil level location.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
3. Add the final one liter (quart) to complete the normal oil fill. Restart the engine and allow it to idle for 2
minutes. Shut the engine down.
4. After a 5-minute drainback period, record the location of the oil level again. Mark the oil level indicator
with the new oil level location. (Note: Both marks should be very close to the MIN-MAX upper and
lower limits or the upper and lower holes on the oil level indicator. These marks will exactly measure the
engine's use of oil, with a one quart differential between the new marks.) Demonstrate to the customer
that the factory-calibrated marks on the oil level indicator are where the oil should fall after an oil change
with the specified fill amount. Explain however, that this may vary slightly between MIN-MAX or the
upper and lower holes on the oil level indicator.
5. Record the vehicle mileage.
6. Advise the customer that oil level indicator readings must be taken every 320 km (200 mi) or weekly,
using the revised marks as drawn. Remind the customer that the engine needs a minimum 5-minute
drainback for an accurate reading and that the oil level indicator must be firmly seated in the tube prior to
taking the reading.
7. When the subsequent indicator readings demonstrate a full liter (quart) has been used, record the vehicle
mileage. The mileage driven between the 2 readings should not be less than 2,414 km (1,500 mi). The
drive cycle the vehicle has been operated under must be considered when making this calculation. It may
be necessary to have the customer bring the vehicle in for a periodic oil level indicator reading to closely
monitor oil usage.
Post Checks, Evaluation and Corrective Action
1. If test results indicate excessive oil consumption, carry out a cylinder compression test. The cylinder
compression test should be carried out with a fully charged battery and all spark plugs removed. See the
COMPRESSION PRESSURE LIMIT CHART for pressure range limits.
2. Compression should be consistent across all cylinders. Refer to COMPRESSION TEST. If compression
tested within the specifications found in this service information, the excessive oil consumption may be
due to wear on the valve guides, valves or valve seals.
3. A cylinder leak detection test can be carried out using an Engine Cylinder Leak Detection/Air
Pressurization Kit. This can help identify valves, piston rings, or worn valve guides/valve stems,
inoperative valve stem seals or other related areas as the source of oil consumption.
NOTE: An oil-soaked appearance on the porcelain tips of the spark plugs also
indicates excessive oil use. A typical engine with normal oil consumption
will exhibit a light tan to brown appearance. See Spark Plug Analysis in
this service information for details. A single or adjoining, multiple cylinder
leak can be traced by viewing the tips.
4. If an internal engine part is isolated as the root cause, determine if the repair will exceed cost limits and
proceed with a repair strategy as required.
5. Once corrective action to engine is complete and verifying that all pre-check items were eliminated in the
original diagnosis, repeat the Oil Consumption Test as described above and verify consumption results.
Intake Manifold Vacuum Test
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature. Connect the Vacuum/Pressure Tester to the intake manifold.
Run the engine at the specified idle speed.
The vacuum gauge should read between 51-74 kPa (15-22 in-Hg) depending upon the engine condition and the
altitude at which the test is conducted. Subtract 4.0193 kPa (1 in-Hg) from the specified reading for every 304.8
m (1,000 ft) of elevation above sea level.
The reading should be steady. If necessary, adjust the gauge damper control (where used) if the needle is
fluttering rapidly. Adjust the damper until the needle moves easily without excessive flutter.
Intake Manifold Vacuum Test - Interpreting Vacuum Gauge Readings
A careful study of the vacuum gauge reading while the engine is idling will help pinpoint trouble areas. Always
conduct other appropriate tests before arriving at a final diagnostic decision. Vacuum gauge readings, although
helpful, must be interpreted carefully.
Most vacuum gauges have a normal band indicated on the gauge face.
The following are potential gauge readings. Some are normal; others should be investigated further.
Fig. 1: Potential Vacuum Gauge Readings Chart

1. NORMAL READING: Needle between 51-74 kPa (15-22 in-Hg) and holding steady.
2. NORMAL READING DURING RAPID ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION: When the engine
is rapidly accelerated (dotted needle), the needle will drop to a low reading (not to zero). When the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
throttle is suddenly released, the needle will snap back up to a higher than normal figure.
3. NORMAL FOR HIGH-LIFT CAMSHAFT WITH LARGE OVERLAP: The needle will register as low
as 51 kPa (15 in-Hg) but will be relatively steady. Some oscillation is normal.
4. WORN RINGS OR DILUTED OIL: When the engine is accelerated (dotted needle), the needle drops to
0 kPa (0 in-Hg). Upon deceleration, the needle runs slightly above 74 kPa (22 in-Hg).
5. STICKING VALVES: When the needle (dotted) remains steady at a normal vacuum but occasionally
flicks (sharp, fast movement) down and back about 13 kPa (4 in-Hg), one or more valves may be sticking.
6. BURNED OR WARPED VALVES: A regular, evenly-spaced, downscale flicking of the needle indicates
one or more burned or warped valves. Insufficient valve clearance will also cause this reaction.
7. POOR VALVE SEATING: A small but regular downscale flicking can mean one or more valves are not
seating.
8. WORN VALVE GUIDES: When the needle oscillates over about a 13 kPa (4 in-Hg) range at idle speed,
the valve guides could be worn. As engine speed increases, the needle will become steady if guides are
responsible.
9. WEAK VALVE SPRINGS: When the needle oscillation becomes more violent as engine RPM is
increased, weak valve springs are indicated. The reading at idle could be relatively steady.
10. LATE VALVE TIMING: A steady but low reading could be caused by late valve timing.
11. IGNITION TIMING RETARDING: Retarded ignition timing will produce a steady but somewhat low
reading.
12. INSUFFICIENT SPARK PLUG GAP: When spark plugs are gapped too close, a regular, small pulsation
of the needle can occur.
13. INTAKE LEAK: A low, steady reading can be caused by an intake manifold or throttle body gasket leak.
14. BLOWN HEAD GASKET: A regular drop of fair magnitude can be caused by a blown head gasket or
warped cylinder head-to-cylinder block surface.
15. RESTRICTED EXHAUST SYSTEM: When the engine is first started and is idled, the reading may be
normal, but as the engine RPM is increased, the back pressure caused by a clogged muffler, kinked
tailpipe or other concerns will cause the needle to slowly drop to 0 kPa (0 in-Hg). The needle then may
slowly rise. Excessive exhaust clogging will cause the needle to drop to a low point even if the engine is
only idling.
16. When vacuum leaks are indicated, search out and correct the cause. Excess air leaking into the system
will upset the fuel mixture and cause concerns such as rough idle, missing on acceleration or burned
valves. If the leak exists in an accessory unit such as the power brake booster, the unit will not function
correctly. Always fix vacuum leaks.
Oil Pressure Test
1. Disconnect and remove the oil pressure switch from the engine.
2. Connect the engine Oil Pressure Gauge to the oil pressure switch oil galley port.
3. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.
4. Run the engine at the specified RPM and record the gauge reading.
5. The oil pressure should be within specifications; refer to the specification chart in the appropriate engine
section.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
6. If the pressure is not within specification, check the following possible sources:
 Insufficient oil
 Oil leakage
 Worn or damaged oil pump
 Oil pump screen cover and tube
 Excessive main bearing clearance
 Excessive connecting rod bearing clearance
 Chain tensioner leak

ENGINE
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The 3.5L (4V) is a V-6 engine with the following features:
 Dual overhead camshafts

 Four valves per cylinder
 Sequential multi-port fuel injection Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (SFI)
 An aluminum lower intake manifold and a composite upper intake manifold
 Aluminum cylinder heads
 An aluminum, 60-degree V-cylinder block
 Timing chain driven coolant pump
 Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) system
 The electronic ignition system with 6 ignition coils
Identification
For quick identification, refer to the safety certification decal.
 The decal is located on the LH front door lock face panel.

 An engine identification label is also attached to the engine.
 The symbol code on the identification tag identifies each engine for determining parts usage; for instance,
engine displacement in liters or cubic inch displacement and model year.
Exhaust Emission Control System
Operation and required maintenance of the exhaust emission control devices used on this engine is covered in
the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
Induction System
The SFI provides the fuel/air mixture needed for combustion in the cylinders. The 6 solenoid-operated fuel
injectors:
 are mounted between the fuel rail and the intake manifold.
 meter fuel into the air intake stream in accordance with engine demand.
 are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves.
Valve Train
The valve train uses direct acting mechanical buckets (DAMB). The camshaft lobes are positioned directly
above mechanical buckets which are positioned on top of the valves.
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) System
The VCT system changes intake camshaft timing dependent on engine speed, load and oil temperature. Oil
pressure advances and retards camshaft timing to improve low-speed and high-speed engine performance,
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
engine idle quality and exhaust emissions.
PCV System
All engines are equipped with a closed-type PCV system recycling the crankcase vapors to the upper intake
manifold.
Lubrication System
The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the
crankshaft, connecting rod bearings, timing chain tensioners and VCT solenoids. The flow of oil to the valve
tappets and valve train is controlled by a restricting orifice located in the head gaskets.
Oil Pump
The lubrication system is designed to provide optimum oil flow to critical components of the engine through its
entire operating range.
The heart of the system is a positive displacement internal gear oil pump.
Generically, this design is known as a gerotor pump, which operates as follows:
 The oil pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block.
 The inner rotor is piloted on the crankshaft post and is driven through flats on the crankshaft.
 System pressure is limited by an integral, internally-vented relief valve which directs the bypassed oil
back to the inlet side of the oil pump.
 Oil pump displacement has been selected to provide adequate volume to make sure of correct oil pressure
both at hot idle and maximum speed.
 The relief valve calibration protects the system from excessive pressure during high-viscosity conditions.
 The relief valve is designed to provide adequate connecting rod bearing lubrication under high-
temperature and high-speed conditions.
Cooling System
The engine cooling system includes the following:
 Radiator
 Timing chain driven coolant pump
 Electric fan assembly(s)
 Degas bottle (aids in maintaining the correct volume of engine coolant)
 Coolant thermostat
 Coolant hoses

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
ENGINE
For basic engine mechanical concerns, refer to ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.
For driveability concerns, refer to the Introduction - Gasoline Engines article.
GENERAL PROCEDURES
VALVE CLEARANCE CHECK
1. Remove the valve covers. For additional information, refer to Valve Cover - LH and Valve Cover - RH.
NOTE: The valve clearance must be measured with the camshaft at base circle.
The engine will have to be rotated with the crankshaft pulley bolt to bring
each valve to base circle.
2. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of each valve and record its location. A midrange clearance is
the most desirable:
 Intake: 0.15-0.25 mm (0.006-0.01 in)
 Exhaust: 0.300-0.400 mm (0.0118-0.0157 in)
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 2: Measuring Each Valve's Clearance Using A Feeler Gauge

NOTE: The number on the valve tappet reflects the thickness of the valve tappet.
For example, a tappet with the number 3.310 has the thickness of 3.31 mm
(0.13 in).
3. If any of the valve clearances are out of specification, select new tappets using this formula: tappet
thickness = measured clearance + the base tappet thickness - most desirable thickness.
Select the tappets and mark the installation location.
4. If required, install the new selected valve tappets in the marked locations. For additional information,
refer to Valve Tappets.

Audio Control Module (ACM)
The audio system can be operated while the key is in RUN or ACC. The accessory delay feature allows the
audio system to be operated for a preset period of time after the key is turned to OFF and a front door has not
been opened. The audio control module (ACM) sends AC voltage audio signals to the speakers or to the
amplifier, depending on vehicle configuration. The ACM can produce its own DTCs, which can be
communicated to the scan tool through the medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN), or can be
retrieved through the ACM self-test by simultaneously pressing presets 3 and 6. The ACM communicates via
the MS-CAN.
THX® Audio System
The THX® audio system provides theatre quality sound in the vehicle. Audio signals are sent to the audio
digital signal processing (DSP) module, which processes the audio signals and sends them to the 13 speakers: 4
door speakers, 2 tweeter speakers, 3 front/center speakers, 2 rear/center speakers, and 2 subwoofer speakers.
The DSP module communicates via the MS-CAN.
Navigation
The navigation module is integrated in the ACM and controls the operation and the interface between the user,
the vehicle subsystems, and the external components. The navigation ACM communicates via the MS-CAN and
can be diagnosed with a scan tool.
The vehicle navigation system guides the user to a pre-entered destination. A map DVD stored in the navigation
ACM is used for calculating the vehicle course. The ACM display audibly and visually instructs the user of the
maneuvers required to arrive at the destination entered.
A voice recognition system allows the user to interface with the system without using the touch screen. A
microphone located in the interior rear view mirror provides a direct input to the navigation ACM.
In order to calculate initial vehicle position, the global positioning system (GPS) antenna is used to track several
available satellites simultaneously.
The wheel pulse signal and transmission gear selected signal are received by the navigation ACM through the
MS-CAN. These signals are used to increase the accuracy of the displayed course.
Satellite Audio
The satellite audio system consists of a satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module, a satellite radio
antenna, and an antenna cable. The satellite radio antenna receives digital audio signals and sends them to the
SDARS module, where the signals are converted to analog and sent to the ACM, the rear entertainment module
(RETM) (if equipped with a DVD entertainment system), or the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) (if
equipped with the SYNC system). The SDARS module communicates via the MS-CAN.
SYNC System
The SYNC system allows interaction with several types of customer devices, including mobile phones and
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
media devices. The system is comprised of the APIM, a microphone (located in the interior rear view mirror),
the universal serial bus (USB) cable and port, and the audio input jack. The APIM contains an on-board
Bluetooth® chipset, which enables certain wireless devices to interact with the system.
The APIM consists of 2 internal modules: the consumer interface processor (CIP) and the vehicle interface
processor (VIP). The modules are not replaceable individually, but can be flashed independently, if required.
The CIP interfaces with all of the inputs to the APIM. The CIP contains an analog-to-digital- to-analog
converter, as well as the Bluetooth® chipset. Any consumer-available application upgrades that are available
are loaded directly to the CIP through the USB port.
The VIP provides an interface between the CIP and the vehicle. The main functions of the VIP are controlling
the APIM power management and translating both inbound and outbound signals over the controller area
network (CAN).
The APIM can receive inputs from the following audio sources:
 USB port
 SDARS module
 Bluetooth®
The USB port can be used for connecting a media device (such as an iPod®) with the device's available cable,
or for directly plugging in a portable mass storage device (such as a "thumb drive"). When playing media files
stored on a mass storage device, the SYNC system will only play files that do not have digital rights
management (DRM) protection. The USB port can also be used for uploading vehicle application upgrades.
The USB port is powered by the APIM, so no external power source is needed to power a device plugged into
the USB port.
The audio input jack can be used for connecting a media device (such as an iPod®) utilizing a 1/8-inch audio
jack. When a device is connected through the audio input jack, only the speaker volume can be controlled by
the ACM. All other functions (such as seek, fast forward, pause, etc.) must be carried out on the device itself.
If the vehicle is equipped with satellite audio, the audio signals from the SDARS module are sent to the APIM,
rather than directly to the ACM. The APIM then relays the satellite audio signals to the ACM, or to the RETM
if the vehicle is equipped with a DVD entertainment system. The RETM then relays the signals to the ACM.
The Bluetooth® interface can accommodate both Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phones and Bluetooth®-enabled
media devices. Any Bluetooth® device used with the SYNC system must first be paired with the system before
it is operational.
Bluetooth® is a secure, short-range radio frequency that allows devices to communicate wirelessly through
radio waves. The operating range of a Bluetooth® signal is a maximum of 32 feet.
Only one Bluetooth® phone and one Bluetooth® device can be connected to the system at any one time. If an
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
additional device of either type is paired with the system and made active, the APIM will disconnect any active
connection and establish a connection with the new device.
It is important to understand that not all mobile phones will have the same level of features when interacting
with the SYNC system. For a list of compatible phones, .
In addition to audio information, metadata may also be sent to the APIM from a device plugged into the USB
port. Metadata consists of such information as artist, album title, song title, and genre. The metadata is used by
the APIM to create indexes that can be used to sort for particular music, based on customer preference. Not all
USB devices will send metadata to the APIM; also, no metadata is transferred when a device is connected
through the audio input jack. When a new media device is connected to the SYNC system, the APIM will
automatically index the information. This may take up to several minutes (depending on the amount of data on
the device), and is considered normal operation. When a device that was previously connected to the SYNC
system is reconnected, the APIM will update the index (rather than creating a new one), which reduces the
amount of time needed to create the index.
The APIM receives both stereo and mono sound inputs, and can also transmit both stereo and mono sound. The
mono function is used to receive the microphone input, and to send sound to the ACM for voice prompts, the
text-to-speech (TTS) feature, ring tones, and any audio received through a connected mobile phone. The TTS
feature speaks information so that it does not have to be read from the display.
The APIM communicates via the MS-CAN.
Voice Recognition For Vehicles With Navigation And The SYNC System
When a vehicle is equipped with both the navigation system and the SYNC system, the interaction between the
audio system components is unique for voice recognition.
Both the navigation ACM and the APIM utilize voice-recognition, but in order for the modules to determine
which one should be acknowledging the voice command, the voice command set is different. This allows the
modules to identify the intended source when the VOICE button is pressed. The VOICE (an icon of someone
speaking), MEDIA, and PHONE (an icon of a phone and an up-and-down arrow) buttons are wired to the
navigation ACM, rather than to the APIM (as they are in non-navigation audio systems).
When the audio system enters voice recognition mode, the ACM sends a CAN message to the APIM to enter
voice recognition mode. The microphone is wired directly to the APIM, which relays the microphone input to
the ACM through dedicated wiring. Control of the voice functions is given to whichever module is indicated by
the first voice command.
Steering Wheel Controls
The steering wheel controls consist of a series of resistors. Each steering wheel control switch function
corresponds with a specific resistance value within the switch. When a switch is pressed, the ACM (or the
APIM) monitors the change in reference voltage to determine the requested function.
Audio Input Jack - Vehicles Without The SYNC System
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The audio input jack allows for a portable MP3 player to be connected to the vehicle audio system. When a
portable MP3 player is connected, audio from the MP3 player can be played through the vehicle speakers.
Antenna - AM/FM
The roof-mounted antenna receives both AM and FM radio waves. The audio signals are then sent to the ACM
through the antenna cable. An antenna module is integral to the roof-mounted antenna base.
Subwoofer
The Audiophile subwoofer is powered by its own amplifier. The subwoofer in the THX® system is powered by
the THX® amplifier. The enable/clip detection circuit carries out 2 functions: to turn the amplifier on, and to
indicate to the ACM when the subwoofer output distortion signal reaches a damaging level. The ACM then
clips the audio output signal to prevent damage to the subwoofer.
DVD Entertainment System
When a video disc is inserted into the RETM and the PLAY button is pressed, an image is displayed on the
screen and a stereo signal is transmitted to the ACM. The DVD entertainment system allows for single/dual-
play mode. The RETM communicates via the MS-CAN.
Single-Play Mode
In single-play mode, any audio input routed through the RETM is broadcast through all of the vehicle speakers.
These audio inputs include the RETM, satellite audio, SYNC audio, and peripheral gaming devices plugged into
the RETM.
Dual-Play Mode (All Audio Systems Except THX®)
In dual-play mode, the ACM continues to control the output to the front speakers, while the RETM mutes the
audio to the rear speakers. The RETM continues to broadcast the rear audio source to the headphones. When the
headphones are set to channel A, all audio sources can be accessed. When the headphones are set to channel B,
only the DVD audio and auxiliary audio sources (such as a gaming system) can be sent to the headphones.
Dual-Play Mode (THX®)
In dual-play mode, the DSP module continues to play the front audio source over the front speakers while
muting the rear speakers. The RETM continues to broadcast the rear audio source to the headphones. When the
headphones are set to channel A, all audio sources can be accessed. When the headphones are set to channel B,
only the DVD audio and auxiliary audio sources (such as a gaming system) can be sent to the headphones.
Noise Suppression Equipment
The radio frequency suppression equipment reduces interference transmitted through the speakers by the engine
ignition and electrical systems. When installing any new radio suppression equipment components, make sure
that a good contact is made at all connections.

Audio Signals
Audio signal flow varies greatly depending on vehicle content.
Stereo signals contain left and right channel information, and are used for most audio signals.
A mono signal is used for the microphone input to the APIM. The mono signal is also used for the voice
prompts, the TTS feature, ring tones, and any audio received through a connected mobile phone. These audio
signals are output from the APIM to the ACM. The mono and stereo outputs from the APIM utilize separate
circuits.
A digital signal is used to transmit data from a media device connected through the USB port to the APIM. The
APIM then converts the signal to analog and relays the signal to the ACM.
A wireless signal is used to broadcast audio signals from a Bluetooth® device to the APIM. As with a digital
signal sent through the USB port, the APIM converts the wireless audio signal to analog and relays it to the
ACM.
Network Communication
The following audio system components communicate via the medium speed controller area network (MS-
CAN):
 Audio control module (ACM)

 Navigation ACM
 Satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module
 Rear entertainment module (RETM)
 Audio digital signal processing (DSP) module
 Accessory protocol interface module (APIM)

The antenna receives AM and FM radio waves. The antenna module is integral with the roof-mounted antenna
and receives voltage from the audio control module (ACM) through circuit CME44 (YE/GN).
The noise suppression equipment reduces engine ignition and electrical systems interference transmitted
through the speakers.
 DTC B2103 (Antenna Not Connected) - sets during the on-demand self-test when the signal strength is
less than the configured minimum value. The ACM must be tuned to AM during the self-test for this
DTC to set. Also, the DTC will not set when the ACM self-diagnostic mode is run.

Pinpoint Test B: Poor Quality/Distorted/No Sound From One Or More Speakers (Not All Speakers) -
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Except THX® Audio System
Normal Operation
The audio control module (ACM) directs audio signals to the front door speakers and to the rear entertainment
module (RETM) (if equipped) in the form of a fluctuating AC voltage. The tweeter speakers (if equipped) are
wired in series with the front door speakers. The rear door speakers receive audio signals through the RETM (if
equipped) or directly from the ACM.
If the vehicle is equipped with the DVD entertainment system, the RETM mutes the speaker output to the rear
speakers when the audio system is in dual-play mode. Make sure the audio system is in single-play mode before
diagnosing a symptom of no sound to the rear speakers.
For the navigation system, if the voice guidance setting is set to zero rather than to off, it may appear that the
front speakers intermittently produce no sound. Make sure the voice guidance setting is not set to zero before
addressing a concern with the front speakers.
 DTC B2965 (Audio System Speaker Circuit Fault) - sets when an open, a short to ground, or a short to
voltage is detected on the front or rear door speaker circuits. The ACM checks for faults once every
500ms during normal operation, or for any duration during the ACM self-test. The following should also
be noted:
 The Audiophile ACM does not check for opens in the front door speakers.
 The navigation ACM does not check for opens.
For some ACMs, a short to ground or short to voltage in the circuitry to one of the speakers will cause all
speakers to lose sound due to the built-in overload protection feature of the ACM. In this case, DTC B2965 will
set in the ACM, and this pinpoint test should be followed to isolate the damaged circuit.

Pinpoint Test D: Poor Quality/Distorted/No Sound From All Speakers - THX® Audio System
Normal Operation
The THX® amplifier receives voltage through circuits SBP38 (BN/RD) and SBP18 (YE/RD), and ground
through circuit GD148 (BK/YE).
Left and right channel audio signals are sent from the audio control module (ACM) to the audio digital signal
processing (DSP) module through circuits VME07 (WH), RME07 (WH/BN), VME10 (WH/VT), and RME10
(WH/OG). If there is a fault on one of these circuits, the audio quality will be reduced by approximately 25%
for all speakers.
To enable the DSP module, the ACM sends voltage through the enable/clip circuit SME23 (VT/RD). The
circuit acts as both an output (to enable the amplifier) and an input (to detect an amplifier overload condition).
A variable resistor in the DSP module modifies the voltage signal from the ACM. In the event of an overload,
the ACM clips the audio output signal to the amplifier (heard as distortion), in order to prevent damage to the
Microsoft

amplifier and speakers.
The clip/enable status is based on the following voltages, as detected by the ACM:
 Less than 0.4 volts: amplifier disabled

 Between 3.8 and 6.7 volts: amplifier enabled
 Greater than 8.5 volts: amplifier clipped
NOTE: Despite their names, DTCs B2925 and B292A apply to the DSP module

Pinpoint Test E: The Subwoofer Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly - Audiophile
Normal Operation
The subwoofer amplifier receives voltage through circuit SBP38 (BN/RD) and ground through circuit GD148
(BK/YE). The subwoofer speakers and subwoofer amplifier are integral to the enclosure and cannot be repaired
individually.
To enable the subwoofer amplifier, the audio control module (ACM) sends voltage through the enable/clip
circuit SME23 (VT/RD). The circuit acts as both an output (to enable the amplifier) and an input (to detect an
amplifier overload condition). A variable resistor in the subwoofer amplifier modifies the voltage signal from
the ACM. In the event of an overload, the ACM clips the audio output signal to the amplifier (heard as
distortion), in order to prevent damage to the amplifier and speakers.
The clip/enable status is based on the following voltages, as detected by the ACM:
 Less than 0.4 volts: amplifier disabled

 Between 3.8 and 6.7 volts: amplifier enabled
 Greater than 8.5 volts: amplifier clipped
An open in circuit SME23 (VT/RD) will cause the subwoofer to produce no sound, because the enable signal
will not reach the subwoofer amplifier. A short to ground or short to voltage can cause severe distortion to be
heard in the subwoofer.
 DTC B1154 (Subwoofer #1 Short to Ground) - sets when a short to ground is detected on circuit RME22
(GN/WH) or circuit VME22 (VT/GN). This DTC only sets during the on-demand self-test.
 DTC B1155 (Subwoofer #1 Short to Battery) - sets when a short to voltage is detected on circuit RME22
(GN/WH) or circuit VME22 (VT/GN). This DTC only sets during the on-demand self-test.
 DTC B2913 (Audio Subwoofer Not Connected) - sets when the ACM does not detect the subwoofer
through circuit SME23 (VT/RD) during the subwoofer connection test (part of the ACM self-test).

Pinpoint Test F: The Steering Wheel Controls Are Inoperative/Do Not Operate Correctly
Normal Operation
There are 4 different steering wheel controls configurations:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Non-navigation, without the SYNC system

 VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, SEEK+, MEDIA
 Non-navigation, with the SYNC system

 VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, SEEK+, VOICE, MEDIA, PHONE, OK
 Navigation, without the SYNC system

 VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, SEEK+, VOICE, MEDIA
 Navigation, with the SYNC system

 VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, SEEK+, VOICE, MEDIA, PHONE
The VOL-, VOL+, SEEK+, SEEK-, and MEDIA buttons are always wired to the audio control module (ACM).
Voltage is sent from the ACM to the steering wheel controls through circuit VME14 (GY/YE), and the ACM
grounds the reference voltage through circuit RME24 (BU/WH).
For vehicles equipped with navigation, but not the SYNC system, the VOICE button is wired to the ACM.
For vehicles equipped with the SYNC system, the VOICE (an icon of someone speaking), PHONE (an icon of a
phone with an up and down arrow), and OK buttons are wired directly to the accessory protocol interface
module (APIM) unless the vehicle is equipped with navigation, in which case there is no OK button, and the
VOICE and PHONE buttons are wired to the ACM. Voltage is sent from the APIM (or ACM if equipped with
navigation) to the steering wheel controls through circuit VME54 (BU/OG), and the APIM (or ACM if
equipped with navigation) grounds the reference voltage through circuit RME54 (WH/VT).
When a switch is pressed, the voltage is routed through a specific resistor value for each function. The ACM (or
APIM) then uses this reference voltage to determine which control input function has been selected.
 DTC B1117 (Audio Steering Wheel Button Stuck) - set by the ACM or the APIM (depending on vehicle
configuration) when a steering wheel control button is detected as active for greater than 120 seconds
during normal operation, or for any duration during the self-test.
 DTC B1136 (Audio Steering Wheel Switch #2 Circuit Failure) - set by the ACM or the APIM (depending
on vehicle configuration) when the reference voltage to the steering wheel controls is out-of-range. This
can be caused by a number of different failures on the steering wheel controls circuit, except for a short to
ground in circuit RME54 (WH/VT). This DTC only applies to the VOICE, PHONE, and OK buttons.
 DTC B2404 (Audio Steering Wheel Switch Circuit Fault) - set by the ACM when the reference voltage to
the steering wheel controls is out-of-range. This can be caused by a number of different failures on the
steering wheel controls circuit, except for a short to ground in circuit RME24 (BU/WH). This DTC only
applies to the VOL-, VOL+, SEEK+, SEEK-, and MEDIA buttons.

Entertainment
Normal Operation
The satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module receives voltage through circuit CBP13 (GY/BN)
and ground through circuit GD148 (BK/YE). Digital signals are received by the satellite radio antenna and sent
to the SDARS module, which converts the signals to analog and send them to either the audio control module
(ACM) or the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) (if equipped).
If there is an open in the satellite antenna circuit, there will be no satellite audio. The ACM display will indicate
a satellite antenna concern (the method varies according to the type of ACM) when the audio system is operated
in satellite radio mode. To diagnose an open in the satellite antenna circuit, go to Pinpoint Test J .
The SDARS module transmits left and right channel audio signals. When there is a fault on any of these
circuits, the audio quality is reduced. If the circuits for a specific channel are shorted together, loss of audio on

Pinpoint Test I: The Satellite Audio Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly - Vehicles With DVD
Entertainment
Normal Operation
The satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module receives voltage through circuit CBP13 (GY/BN)
and ground through circuit GD148 (BK/YE). Digital signals are received by the satellite radio antenna and sent
to the SDARS module, which converts the signals to analog and sends them to either the rear entertainment
module (RETM), or the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) (if equipped).
The satellite audio signals utilize separate circuitry from the remaining audio signals. This allows the audio
control module (ACM) to distinguish between satellite audio and SYNC or DVD audio, in order to provide for
more dual-play options.
If there is an open in the satellite antenna circuit, there will be no satellite audio. The ACM display will indicate
a satellite antenna concern (the method varies according to the type of ACM) when the audio system is operated
in satellite radio mode. To diagnose an open in the satellite antenna circuit, go to Pinpoint Test J .
Circuits VME41 (GN/OG), RME41 (BU/BN), VME42 (VT/BN), and RME42 (YE/BU) transmit left and right
channel audio signals. When there is a fault on any of these circuits, the audio quality is reduced. If the circuits
for a specific channel are shorted together, loss of audio on that entire channel will occur. This can be detected
by using the SDARS module tones test.

Pinpoint Test P: The Position Cursor Is Inaccurate
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Normal Operation
The primary source of vehicle location for the navigation system is the audio control module (ACM) receiving
the position signal through the global positioning system (GPS) antenna.
In addition, the ACM receives the wheel pulse signal from the instrument cluster (IC), which gateways the
signal from the ABS module. This secondary signal is used to calculate vehicle position when the GPS signal is
lost. It also supports the adaptive learning function of the ACM, whereby the ACM can compensate for long-
term differences between the GPS signal location, and the actual distance traveled by the vehicle.
 DTC B2204 (GPS Antenna Connection Open or Short) - sets when an open, short to ground, or short to
voltage is detected in the GPS antenna circuit. If DTC B2204 is present, go to Pinpoint Test M .
 DTC U0155 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster [IC] Control Module) - sets when the
ACM is missing messages from the IC for greater than 5 seconds. For this symptom, the message in
question is the wheel pulse data message.
 DTC U2473 (Unexpected Vehicle Speed [VSS]) - sets when the calculated vehicle distance traveled
based on the wheel pulse signal does not agree with the GPS antenna location. To do this, the ACM
compares the wheel pulse signal during a 4-second range and compares it with the change in GPS antenna
location. If the ACM finds that the variation is greater than 0.5% after carrying out this check 4 times, it
sets DTC U2473. When DTC U2473 is set, the adaptive learn function is disabled. This DTC is also set
when the navigation rolling wheel count signal is missing for greater than 2 seconds with the key in RUN.

When the VOICE button (represented by an icon of someone speaking) is pressed, it changes the reference
voltage on circuit VMN54 (BU/OG), and the audio system enters voice recognition mode. If the vehicle is
equipped with navigation, the VOICE switch is wired to the audio control module (ACM). If the vehicle is not
equipped with navigation, the VOICE switch is wired to the accessory protocol interface module (APIM). A
microphone located in the interior rear view mirror receives the voice command and sends a signal to the APIM

detect outgoing audio during a phone call.
The microphone test (with navigation only) is available through the scan tool. Running this test causes the ACM
to produce a test tone. If the system is operating correctly, the microphone detects the tone and produces a
signal to the ACM indicating the tone was heard.
If the vehicle is equipped with navigation, the APIM receives the microphone input, and also broadcasts it to the
ACM through circuits VMN01 (BU/BN) and RMN01 (GN). This allows voice commands specific to the
navigation system to be handled directly by the ACM. The first voice commands spoken determine which

Pinpoint Test Y: The Speed Sensitive Volume Does Not Operate Correctly
Normal Operation
The speed sensitive volume function adjusts the volume based on the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) signal from
the instrument cluster (IC). The IC does not generate the VSS signal; it gateways the signal from the PCM.
For vehicles without THX® sound, the audio control module (ACM) receives the VSS signal from the IC. For
vehicles with THX® sound, the audio digital signal processing (DSP) module receives the VSS signal from the
IC and controls the speed sensitive volume based on the ACM setting.
 DTC U0155 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster Control [IC] Module) - sets when the
VSS signal is lost for greater than 5 seconds. When the signal is lost, the ACM turns the speed sensitive
volume feature off. The smart junction box (SJB) and HVAC module also receive this signal, and should
demonstrate symptoms if the VSS signal is lost. If no symptoms are present, this DTC can be ignored, as
it may have been set by a low battery voltage condition.
 DTC U0184 (Lost Communication With Radio [ACM]) - set by the DSP module when expected medium
speed controller area network (MS-CAN) messages are missing from the ACM lost for greater than 5
seconds. This includes the speed sensitive volume setting. If the speed sensitive volume setting message
is missing, the DSP module turns the speed sensitive volume feature off.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS
NOTE: The vehicle emission vacuum routing diagrams are contained in the Description
and Operation subsection of the Engine Emissions Control part. Refer to
ENGINE EMISSION CONTROL article.
The evaporative emission (EVAP) system consists of the:
 EVAP canister purge valve.

 EVAP canister.
 EVAP canister vent solenoid (includes the dust separator).
 fuel vapor tube assembly (includes the fuel tank pressure [FTP] sensor).
 fuel tank filler cap.
The EVAP system:
 prevents hydrocarbon emissions from reaching the atmosphere.

 stores fuel vapors in the EVAP canisters, that are generated during vehicle operation or hot soak, until
they can be consumed by the engine during normal engine operation.
 routes the stored fuel vapors to the engine during engine operation.
 is controlled by the PCM which, using various sensor inputs, calculates the desired amount of purge flow.
The PCM regulates the purge flow, induced by the application of intake manifold vacuum, by varying the
duty cycle applied to the vapor tube.
The fuel vapors are routed:
 from the fuel tank through the vapor vent valve (internal to the tank).
 to the EVAP canisters through a vapor tube.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 from the EVAP canister to the engine when the EVAP canister purge valve is opened by the PCM.
The FTP sensor (part of fuel vapor tube assembly):
 monitors the pressure levels in the fuel tank.

 communicates the pressure reading to the PCM during the OBD II leak test.
The fuel vapor tube assembly:
 is located midway under the vehicle along the LH frame rail.

 is used to route the flow of fuel vapors entering the EVAP system.
The EVAP canister:
 is located on the underside of the vehicle directly below the driver seat.
 contains activated carbon.
 stores fuel vapors.
The fuel tank filler cap:
 is sealed against the fuel tank filler pipe and does not relieve system pressure.
The EVAP canister vent solenoid:
 is normally open.
 seals the EVAP system for the inspection and maintenance (I/M 240) test and OBD II leak and pressure
tests.
 is mounted to the EVAP canister bracket.
The EVAP canister purge valve:
 is normally closed.
 regulates the purging of the EVAP canister.
 is controlled by the PCM.
 is repaired as a separate item.
 is mounted to the cowl on a bracket.
The EVAP dust separator:
 is attached to the EVAP canister vent solenoid mounted on the EVAP canister bracket.
 prevents suspended dust and dirt particles from entering the EVAP system.
 is repaired as an assembly with the EVAP canister vent solenoid.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The EVAP system monitor:
 is a self-test strategy within the PCM which tests the integrity of the EVAP system.
 monitors the EVAP system for leaks.
 monitors electronic EVAP components for irrationally high or low voltages.
 monitors for correct EVAP system operation.
 uses negative and positive leak test methods to test and activate the EVAP system.
The engine ON EVAP leak-check monitor:
 is executed by the individual components of the enhanced EVAP system. Intake manifold vacuum is
utilized to reach a target vacuum on the EVAP system. The FTP sensor is used by the engine ON EVAP
leak-check monitor to determine if the target vacuum necessary to carry out the leak-check on the EVAP
system has been reached. Once target vacuum on the EVAP system is achieved, the change in EVAP
system vacuum over a calibrated period of time determines if a leak exists.
The Engine Off Natural Vacuum (EONV) EVAP leak-check monitor is executed:
 once the engine ON EVAP leak-check monitor is completed and the key is turned OFF. The EONV
EVAP leak-check monitor determines if a leak is present when the naturally occurring change in the fuel
tank pressure or vacuum does not exceed a calibrated limit during a calibrated amount of time. A
separate, low-power consuming microprocessor in the PCM manages the EONV leak-check. The engine
OFF EVAP leak-check monitor is executed by the individual components of the enhanced EVAP system.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust system consists of:
 an exhaust flexible pipe.

 two muffler assemblies.
 one resonator assembly.
 muffler brackets with isolators bolted to the body.
 an exhaust Y-pipe.
 a catalyst monitor sensor mounted to each catalytic converter.
 a LH and RH catalytic converter.
The exhaust system provides an exit for exhaust gases and reduces engine noise by passing exhaust gases
through the catalytic converters, a muffler assembly and resonator. Rubber exhaust hanger isolators attach the
exhaust system to the mounting hooks.
Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emission control system. The catalytic converter operates as a
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
gas reactor. Its catalytic function is to speed the heat-producing chemical reaction of components in the exhaust
gases in order to reduce air pollutants.
The catalyst material inside the catalytic converter consists of a ceramic substrate.
Precautions
CAUTION: Do not use leaded fuel in a vehicle equipped with a catalytic converter. In a
vehicle that is continually misfueled, the lead in the fuel will be deposited
in the catalytic converter and completely blanket the catalyst. Lead reacts
with platinum to "poison" the catalyst. Continuous use of leaded fuel can
destroy the catalyst and render the catalytic converter useless.
CAUTION: The addition of lead to the catalytic converter can also solidify the
catalyst, causing excessive back pressure in the exhaust system and
possibly causing engine damage.
CAUTION: Extremely high temperatures of 1,100°C (2,012°F) or above due to misfiring

or an over-rich fuel/air mixture will cause the ceramic substrate to sinter or
burn, destroying the catalytic converter. Do not continue to operate the
vehicle if the engine is misfiring, there is a power loss, or other unusual
operating conditions, such as engine overheating and backfiring.
The catalytic converter is designed to provide a long life. No maintenance is necessary for the catalytic
converter.
Sound Insulators and Shields
Sound insulators and shields, attached to the underbody, protect the vehicle from exhaust system heat and
should be inspected at regular intervals to make sure they are not dented or out of position. If a sound insulator
and shield is damaged or shows evidence of deterioration, it should be replaced. The sound insulators and
shields for the muffler, muffler pipe, resonator and catalytic converter pipe are installed separately.

(GEM).
Battery Saver
NOTE: Time-out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).
The battery saver is internal to the SJB and provides automatic shut-off of the headlamps and parking lamps
after 10 minutes in order to save battery voltage. A timer is started when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position with the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position, or the headlamp switch is placed in the
HEADLAMPS ON position with the ignition switch off. When the time-out period has elapsed, the voltage is
automatically shut off to the lamps by the battery saver.
The battery saver does not control the parking lamps if the headlamp switch is in the PARKING LAMPS ON
position.
Headlamps
The headlamp system is a quad-beam pattern system. It consists of replaceable low and high beam bulbs. The
headlamp assembly has the park/turn indicator lamp integrated into the headlamp assembly. The SJB supplies
voltage to the headlamps when demanded.
NOTE: Some vehicles are equipped with the adaptive headlighting option. Refer to
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Adaptive Headlighting .
If the headlamps are on when the ignition switch is turned off, the battery saver feature turns off the headlamps
after 10 minutes have elapsed.
Autolamps
The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on/off control of the exterior lamps. The autolamp
system keeps the exterior lamps on for a pre-selected period of time after the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position (20 seconds is the factory default setting). The pre-selected time lapse is adjustable up to
approximately 3 minutes.
Headlamps On With Wipers On Feature
On vehicles equipped with autolamps, there is also a feature called the headlamps on with wipers on feature. If
the headlamp switch is in the AUTOLAMPS ON position and the front wipers are on for more than 10 seconds
(except during a mist wipe or while the wipers are on to clear washer fluid during a wash condition), the
exterior lamps are turned on. The exterior lamps are turned off when the ignition switch is changed to the OFF
or ACC position, the headlamp switch is placed in the OFF position, or the front wipers are off for more than 30
seconds. The exception to this is when the exterior lights are on because of darkness determined by the light
sensor.
For the headlamps on with wipers on feature, refer to WIPERS AND WASHERS article.
Stoplamps
The stoplamp switch is located on the brake pedal assembly. The stoplamps are supplied voltage when the brake
pedal is applied.
Turn Signal/Hazard Lamps
The front turn signal lamps are located within the headlamp assemblies. The rear lamps share functionality with
the stoplamps. When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH TURN positions, the SJB routes
voltage to the LH or RH turn signal lamps. The SJB then cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times
per minute. If a front or rear turn bulb is inoperative, the SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 160
times per minute.
The hazard switch is located on the center instrument panel finish panel. When the hazard switch is pressed, the
SJB supplies voltage to all the turn lamps. The SJB cycles the voltage on and off approximately 80 times per
minute.
Parking Lamps
The SJB supplies voltage to the parking lamps when demanded. The parking lamp system includes the
following:
 Front parking lamps

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Front side marker lamps

 Rear parking lamps
 Rear side marker lamps
 License plate lamps
 Liftgate lamp assembly (MKX only)
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp switch is integrated into the headlamp switch. When the fog lamp switch is engaged, the SJB
provides ground for the fog lamp relay coil (integrated into the SJB), which then energizes and routes voltage to
the fog lamps. The fog lamps can be turned on when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACC position, the
parking lamps are on, and the high beam headlamps are off.
Reversing Lamps
When the transmission is placed in REVERSE (R), the PCM provides ground for the reversing lamp relay coil.
The reversing lamps receive voltage when the reversing lamp relay is energized. The reversing lamps are
located within the rear lamp assemblies.
For MKX, the reversing lamps are LEDs integrated into the rear lamp assemblies.
Trailer Tow
When the vehicle's rear stop/turn or parking lamps are illuminated, voltage is also supplied to a corresponding
trailer tow relay (coil side) located in the battery junction box (BJB).
Adaptive Headlighting
Vehicles equipped with adaptive front lighting have a module (located on the bottom of the LH headlamp
assembly) to control the left/right aiming of the headlamp bulbs. Depending on the inputs received (steering
wheel angle and vehicle speed for example), the adaptive front lighting module can change the angle at which
the headlamps are aimed (left or right) to improve nighttime visibility around curves.
There are sensors and motors within each headlamp that the module uses to control the angle of the headlamp
beams and are not repaired separately.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
The SJB can be configured to turn the DRL on for this vehicle. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION
article for additional information on this programmable parameter.
The DRL system operates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity.
The SJB supplies pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to illuminate the low beam headlamps at a reduced
intensity when the following conditions are met:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 The ignition switch is in the RUN position.

 The headlamps have not been turned on by the autolamp system or the headlamp switch.
 The transmission is not in PARK (P).
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
HEADLAMPS
Special Tools

(GEM).
Exterior Lighting
The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending voltage reference signals on multiple circuits to the
headlamp switch. There is one circuit for each headlamp switch position. At any given time, one of the signal
circuits is routed to ground.
If the SJB does not detect any of the inputs to the headlamp switch are active (routed to ground) for 5 seconds,
the SJB turns on the exterior lights and keeps them on for 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off (or
10 minutes from the time the SJB does not detect any headlamp switch input if the ignition switch was already
off). Additionally, if the SJB detects multiple circuits short to ground, the SJB implements a planned strategy
depending on the multiple inputs received.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
If either of these situations occur, the SJB should NOT be ruled immediately as being at fault. This is normal
behavior of the SJB design as it has detected a fault with the inputs from the headlamp switch.
High Beam and Flash-to-Pass
The SJB also monitors the multifunction switch for a flash-to-pass or high beam request. There are 2 voltage
reference circuits which monitor this. When the multifunction switch is in the FLASH-TO-PASS or HIGH
BEAM position, the voltage signal is routed to ground.
NOTE: The flash-to-pass feature does not require any input from the headlamp switch.
When the SJB receives an input requesting the headlamps on, the SJB supplies voltage to the low beams. If the
low beams are on and the SJB receives a request for high beams (or just a flash-to-pass request), the SJB
energizes an internal relay which routes voltage to the headlamps.
stored at that time of the fault. The circuit then resets after a customer demand of the function (switching the
component on, battery saver being energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the module
shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. At the same time, the continuous DTC that was
stored on the first failure, does not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module does not
allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal operation until a successful on-demand self-test
proves that the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand
DTCs present), the continuous DTC clears and the circuit function returns.
B1342 set along with the associated continuous DTC. This DTC cannot be cleared and the module must be
replaced.
The SJB FET protected output circuits for the headlamp system are for the LH low beam output and the RH low
beam output circuits.

Pinpoint Test D: The Headlamp(s) Are On Continuously
Normal Operation - Low Beams
The smart junction box (SJB) sends reference signals to the headlamp switch through circuits CLF19 (VT/GN)
(AUTOLAMPS), CLF23 (WH/VT) (OFF), CLS34 (GY) (PARKING LAMPS) and CLF18 (BU/WH)
(HEADLAMPS). At any given time, the headlamp switch routes one of the input circuits to ground through
joint connector 6 through circuit GD116 (BK/VT).
When the SJB detects the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position and the multifunction switch in
the LOW BEAM position, the SJB provides voltage through circuits CLF04 (BN/BU) and CLF05 (BU/GN) to
the LH and RH low beam headlamps, respectively.
On vehicles equipped with autolamps, the SJB also monitors input from the windshield wiper motor through
circuit CRW01 (WH) for the headlamps on with wipers on feature.
High Beams
The SJB sends a reference signal to the multifunction switch through circuits CLF27 (GN/BN) and CLF17
(WH/OG). When the multifunction switch is placed in the FLASH-TO-PASS or HIGH BEAM position, the
voltage signal is routed to ground. When the SJB detects a request for flash-to-pass or high beams (when the
low beams are on), the SJB energizes the high beam relay (integrated into the SJB), which routes voltage

Exterior Lighting
Autolamps Feature
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The SJB monitors the light sensor with a voltage reference signal. The light sensor input to the SJB varies with
the ambient light conditions.
When the SJB receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the autolamps, the SJB
monitors the light sensor for the ambient light condition. If the SJB determines the ambient light level is dark,
the SJB supplies voltage to the exterior lamps.
If the ignition switch is already in the RUN position and the vehicle enters a dark/lighted area (such as when
entering/exiting a non-lighted tunnel during the daytime), the transition from light to dark (or dark to light)
needs to last 15 seconds before the SJB turns the exterior lamps on or off. This strategy is to prevent the exterior
lamps from unnecessarily flashing on and off.
The SJB does react quicker under extreme light conditions. If the SJB has detected a very dark condition, the
exterior lamps are turned on after 1.5 seconds. If the SJB has detected a very high ambient light level, the
exterior lamps are turned off after 4 seconds.

The smart junction box (SJB) sends a reference voltage signal to the headlamp switch through circuit CLF19
(VT/GN) and a reference voltage signal to the light sensor through circuit VLF14 (BU/BN). Ground for the
light sensor is provided by circuit GD115 (BK/GY).
When the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the voltage signal is routed to ground.
When the SJB detects the headlamp switch in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, the SJB monitors the light sensor
input. The light sensor determines the amount of light based on the input received from the ambient lighting
conditions. When the ambient light level has reached a point (determined by the internal programming of the

(GEM).
The SJB monitors the multifunction switch position by sending multiple voltage reference signals to the
multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH TURN positions, or the hazard lamp
switch is pressed, that input signal is routed to ground.
When the SJB receives a request for a turn signal or hazard lamps, the SJB supplies voltage to the appropriate
turn lamps.
The timed on/off cycle is determined by the SJB and is set to flash approximately 80 times per minute if both
the front and rear turn lamps operate correctly. If an individual turn signal lamp is inoperative, the SJB flashes
the remaining turn lamp approximately 160 times per minute.
The timed on/off cycle for the hazard lamps is set to flash approximately 80 times per minute.

(GEM).
The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending a voltage reference signal to the headlamp switch.
When the fog lamp switch (part of the headlamp switch) is engaged, the voltage reference signal is routed to
ground.
The fog lamps can be turned on when the following conditions are met:
 The ignition switch is in the RUN or START position.

 The low beam headlamps or the parking lamps are on.
 The high beams are off.
When the SJB receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the fog lamps, the SJB
provides voltage to the fog lamp relay. When the fog lamp relay is energized, voltage is routed to the fog lamps.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

(GEM).
The headlamp control module (HCM) receives information from the communication network such as vehicle
speed, steering wheel angle and headlamps on status. Based on the information received, the HCM determines
if the headlamps need to be angled left or right as well as the degree of angle.
The HCM does not operate the adaptive headlamps until the vehicle speed is above 5 km/h (3 mph).
When the ignition is placed in the RUN/START position, the HCM runs an initialization check to determine the
Microsoft

straight-ahead position of the headlamps. The lamps track left to right, then back to center to signify that the
system is operating correctly.
If the HCM does not receive the required information over the communication network or determines that there
is a fault with the circuitry to the sensors or control motors, it defaults the headlamps to the straight-ahead
position and sets DTC(s).

Pinpoint Test AF: The Adaptive Front Lighting Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly
Normal Operation
The headlamp control module (HCM) receives information from the high speed controller area network (HS-
CAN), such as steering wheel angle, vehicle speed, and headlamps on status. Based on the information
received, the HCM determines what angle (left to right of straight ahead) the headlamps should be.
The HCM does not operate the adaptive headlamps until the headlamps are on and the vehicle speed is above 5
km/h (3 mph). Depending on vehicle speed and steering wheel angle, the HCM determines and positions the
headlamps at an angle to improve visibility while the vehicle is in a turn. At low and high vehicle speeds (8
km/h [5 mph] and 97 km/h [60 mph] for example), the angle of the headlamps is changed minimally. At vehicle
speeds of 32-40 km/h (20-25 mph), the headlamp angle change is greater.
The HCM monitors the position of the headlamps and controls the motors, which changes the angle of the
headlamps.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
Special Tools
Vision 100 Headlamp Aimer 196-00005 or equivalent
Headlamp Aiming
1. The headlamp aiming procedure depends on what type of beam pattern the headlamp is equipped with.
Vehicles may come equipped with VOL or VOR headlamps. To identify the headlamp beam pattern, look
on the headlamp lens. Molded in small letters on the headlamp lens is one of the following:
 VOL and SAE
 VOR and SAE
2. Once the headlamp beam pattern is identified, aim the headlamps using one of the following methods as
applicable.
 Photometric aimers can aim VOL- and VOR- headlamps. This is the preferred method of headlamp
aiming.
 Visual or screen method aiming can be used to aim VOL- and VOR- headlamps.
 Mechanical aimers cannot be used with VOR- or VOL-type headlamps. Aerodynamic lamps that
can be aimed mechanically have 3 nibs molded into the lens of the lamp.
Photometric Aiming
1. For the photometric aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate photometric headlamp aimer instruction
manual.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Screen Method Aiming
All headlamp types
NOTE: Horizontal aim is not necessary for VOL or VOR headlamps.
NOTE: Consult your state vehicle inspection manual for recommended tolerance
ranges for visual aiming.
NOTE: The sight shield may need to be positioned or removed for access to the
adjusters.
1. Before starting headlamp adjustment:

 check the tire inflation.
 check that no other load is in the vehicle other than a half tank of fuel.
 check that the headlamps are clean.
 check for correct headlamp operation.
 check that the vehicle is on level ground.
 if the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, make sure that the switch is on.
NOTE: The vertical wall or screen must be a minimum of 2.4-m (8-ft) wide.

FRONT DISC BRAKE
The front brake disc system consists of the following components:
 Brake caliper anchor plate

 Brake caliper
 Brake disc
 Brake disc shield
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Brake flexible hose
When mechanical force is applied by the driver to the brake pedal, the force is converted into hydraulic pressure
by the master cylinder. The hydraulic force is directed to the disc brake calipers and transferred to the brake
pads. The brake pads are then forced against the brake friction surfaces by the brake caliper pistons. The friction
of the brake pads on the brake disc causes the slowing of wheel rotation and the vehicle.

FRONT SUSPENSION
The front suspension consists of the following components:
 Wheel bearings
 Wheel hubs
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Wheel studs
 Lower arms
 Stabilizer bar
 Stabilizer bar brackets
 Stabilizer bar bushings
 Stabilizer bar links
 Shock absorber and spring assemblies
 Wheel knuckles
The front suspension system incorporates a strut assembly that takes the place of the upper arm and ball joint.
The strut carries out the function of a shock absorber and is encompassed by a coil spring. The strut and spring
assembly supports the weight of the vehicle and is also the pivot point for the steering spindle. This system uses
a lower control arm and ball joint for the lower (unloaded) pivot point of the steering wheel knuckle. The
stabilizer bar and links are included to control lean/sway during turns.

FUEL CHARGING AND CONTROLS
Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (SFI)
The fuel charging and controls system consists of the:
 Throttle Body (TB).

 fuel injectors.
 fuel rail.
The fuel charging and controls system is:
 a Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection (SFI) system.

 pulse-width modulated.
 Mass Air Flow (MAF) controlled.
Fuel is metered into each intake port in a sequential firing order. Fuel injectors pulse to follow engine firing
order, in accordance with engine demand, on a tuned intake manifold.
The basic fuel requirement of the engine is determined from the data supplied to the PCM by the MAF sensor,
which measures the amount of air being drawn into the engine.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The various sensors detect any changes in the operating conditions and send signals to the PCM. This permits
the PCM to control the opening duration (pulse width) of the fuel injectors and maintain optimum exhaust
emission control and engine performance for all operating conditions.
Throttle Body (TB)
The TB:
 controls air supply to the intake manifold by electronically positioning the throttle plate.
 is not adjustable.
Fuel Injectors
The fuel injectors:
 are electronically operated by the PCM.

 atomize the fuel as the fuel is delivered.
 each have an internal solenoid that opens a needle valve, which injects fuel into the intake port in the
cylinder head.
 are deposit resistant.
Fuel Rail
The fuel rail:
 receives fuel from the fuel supply tube.

 delivers fuel to the fuel injectors.

NOTE: The following procedure diagnoses a slow to fill concern only. For all other
concerns, refer to the INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE ENGINES article.
The fuel tank filler pipe assembly is used to refuel the vehicle. The fuel tank filler pipe flapper valve prevents
spitback of fuel during and after refueling. The fuel tank stores the fuel. The fuel tank contains a fuel pump (FP)
module. The FP module consists of a fuel level sender and a FP. The fuel level sender sends a signal to the fuel
gauge informing the driver of how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The FP provides fuel to the fuel tubes which
supply the fuel rail.
During refueling, the fuel tank vents to the atmosphere through the vent and filler pipes, on vehicles without on-
board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) systems. In vehicles equipped with ORVR, the fuel tank and filler pipe
are designed so that when the vehicle is being refueled, fuel vapors in the fuel tank travel to the evaporative
emission (EVAP) canister, which absorbs the fuel vapors and vents the pressure from the fuel tank during
refueling.

(GEM).
The SJB supplies the control and switched voltage to the horn relay (part of the SJB). When the horn switches
(part of the steering wheel) are pressed, ground is supplied through the clockspring to the horn relay. The horn
relay is then energized, directing voltage to the horn and enabling the horn to sound.
The horn switch is comprised of 2 sets of contacts separated by springs. The lower set is connected to ground
and the upper set is connected to the horn signal circuit. When the driver air bag module is pressed, it pushes
down on the upper set of contacts, collapsing the springs and allowing the contacts to touch. When the contacts
touch, it completes the circuit.
When the vehicle security system is armed, the SJB provides a momentary ground to the horn relay control side
to indicate the system is armed, and an on and off ground when an intrusion is detected or the panic alarm is
activated.

WARNING: Take the following precautions when repairing an air conditioning system
containing R-134a:
 Always wear safety goggles.

 Avoid contact with liquid refrigerant R-134a. R-134a vaporizes at
approximately -25°C (-13°F) under atmospheric pressure and will
freeze skin tissue.
 Never allow refrigerant R-134a gas to escape in quantity in an
occupied space. It will displace the oxygen needed to support life.
 Never use a torch in an atmosphere containing R-134a gas. R-134a is
non-toxic at all normal conditions, but it decomposes when exposed
to high temperatures such as a torch flame. During decomposition it
releases irritating and toxic gasses (as described in the MSDS sheet
from the manufacturer). Decomposition products are hydrofluoric
acid, carbon dioxide and water.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the vehicle or air conditioning (A/C) components, the
following precautions must be observed.
 The A/C refrigerant of all vehicles must be identified and analyzed

prior to refrigerant charging. Failure to do so can contaminate the
shop bulk refrigerant and other vehicles.
 Do not add R-12 refrigerant to an A/C system that requires the use of
R-134a refrigerant. These 2 types of refrigerant must never be mixed.
Doing so can damage the A/C system.
 Charge the A/C system with R-134a refrigerant gas while the engine
is running only at the low-pressure side, to prevent refrigerant
slugging from damaging the A/C compressor.
 Use only R-134a refrigerant. Due to environmental concerns, when
the A/C system is drained, the refrigerant must be collected using
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Federal, State/Provincial
and/or local laws REQUIRE that R-134a be recovered into appropriate
recovery equipment and the process be conducted by qualified
technicians who have been certified by an approved organization,
such as ASE, MACS, HRAI, etc. Use of a recovery machine dedicated
to R-134a is necessary to reduce the possibility of oil and refrigerant
incompatibility concerns. Refer to the instructions provided by the
equipment manufacturer when removing refrigerant from or charging
the A/C system.
 Refrigerant R-134a must not be mixed with air for leak testing or used
with air for any other purpose above atmospheric pressure. R-134a is
combustible when mixed with high concentrations of air and higher
pressures.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 A number of manufacturers are producing refrigerant products that

are described as direct substitutes for refrigerant R-134a. The use of
any unauthorized substitute refrigerant can severely damage the A/C
components. If repair is required, use only new or recycled
refrigerant R-134a.
CAUTION: To avoid contamination of the air conditioning (A/C) system, the following
precautions must be observed.
 Never open or loosen a connection before recovering the refrigerant.

 When loosening a connection, if any residual pressure is evident,
allow it to leak out before opening the fitting.
 Evacuate a system that has been opened to install a new component
or one that has discharged through leakage before charging.
 Seal open fittings with a cap or plug immediately after disconnecting
a component from the system.
 Clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly before disconnecting a
component from the system.
 Do not remove the sealing caps from a new component until ready to
install.
 Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left
uncapped. Do not open an oil container until ready to use and install
the cap immediately after using. Store the oil in a clean, moisture-free
container.
 Install a new O-ring seal before connecting an open fitting. Coat the
fitting and O-ring seal with PAG oil before connecting.
 When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp bends. Position the
line away from the exhaust or any sharp edges that can chafe the
line.
 Tighten threaded fittings only to specifications. The steel and
aluminum fittings used in the refrigerant system will not tolerate
overtightening.
 When disconnecting a fitting, use a wrench on both halves of the
fitting to prevent twisting of the refrigerant lines or tubes.
 Do not open a refrigerant system or uncap a new component unless
it is as close as possible to room temperature. This will prevent
condensation from forming inside a component that is cooler than
the surrounding air.
The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) system heats or cools the vehicle depending on the HVAC
module - EMTC control panel selection.
 The HVAC module - EMTC control panel selections determine heating or cooling, air distribution and

 The temperature control setting determines the air temperature.
 The blower motor switch varies the blower motor speed.
 During A/C operation the system also reduces the relative humidity of the air.
The dual automatic temperature control (DATC) system maintains the selected vehicle interior temperature by
heating and/or cooling the air.
 During A/C operation the system also reduces the relative humidity of the air.
 The driver may override the automatic mode of operation.

External Temperature Display
The external temperature is displayed when the EXT button is pressed. While the actual external temperature
can vary continuously, the value that is displayed will update at a specific rate depending on whether or not the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
engine is "hot" and whether or not the vehicle is moving.
When the external temperature is rising, the display will update slowly. Updates (when the actual external
temperature is higher than currently displayed value) will be limited to 0.6°C (1°F) every 20 seconds while the
vehicle is moving at 40 kph (25 mph) or greater for more than 90 seconds or 0.6°C (1°F) every 20 minutes if the
vehicle is not moving at this speed. This is to prevent the heat from the engine compartment from affecting the
accuracy of the display.
When the external temperature is dropping, the display will update quickly.
Updates (when the actual external temperature is lower than currently displayed value) will only be limited to
0.6°C (1°F) every 2 seconds (regardless of vehicle speed). Consequently, the display will essentially follow the
drop experienced by the external temperature thermistor.
Climate Control System Operation
Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) System
The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) system operation is determined by the settings on the
HVAC module - EMTC. The EMTC system is composed of the HVAC module - EMTC, blower motor resistor,
mode door actuator, air inlet door actuator and temperature blend door actuator to control the various functions.
The blower motor switch:
 sets the blower motor speed.

 directs the blower motor path to ground through the blower motor resistor to allow blower motor
operation in LO, MED LO and MED HI.
 directs the blower motor path directly to ground, bypassing the blower motor resistor to allow blower
motor operation in HI.
The A/C request button:
 can command the A/C compressor ON (when the function selector switch is in PANEL, FLOOR/PANEL,
FLOOR/DEFROST and FLOOR) when the A/C request switch is pressed. Indicator illuminates when
A/C request switch is toggled ON.
 is inoperative in MAX A/C, OFF and DEFROST.
 indicator illuminates when the function selector switch is in MAX A/C and cannot be toggled.
 indicator does not illuminate in OFF and cannot be toggled.
 indicator does not illuminate in DEFROST but can be toggled ON or OFF. The A/C compressor will
operate regardless of indicator status if the outside air temperature is above 6°C (43°F).
 is serviced only with the climate control module.
The function selector knob:
 selects airflow direction.

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The air recirculation button:
 selects either recirculated or outside air source.

 recirculates air in any mode except DEFROST, if requested.
 is disabled in MAX A/C or OFF mode where recirculated air only is used.
 is disabled in DEFROST mode where outside air only is used.
 is serviced only with the climate control module.
The temperature selector knob:
 selects full warm and full cool as well as blended outlet temperatures.
The HVAC module - EMTC also includes:
 a rear window DEFROST button. Refer to GLASS, FRAMES & MECHANISMS article.
Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) System
The dual automatic temperature control (DATC) system operation is determined by the settings on the HVAC
module - DATC. The DATC system automatically maintains a selected temperature for vehicle interior
comfort. The DATC system is composed of the HVAC module - DATC, blower motor speed control, mode
door actuator, air inlet door actuator, temperature blend door actuator, in-vehicle temperature sensor, ambient
temperature sensor, evaporator temperature sensor and solar radiation sensor to control the various functions.
The HVAC module - DATC will display outside air temperature when the EXT button is pressed.
When the HVAC module - DATC is set to AUTO:
 the air distribution direction, blower motor speed and A/C compressor operation are automatically
controlled based on the temperature(s) selected.
The HVAC module - DATC manual override settings:
 allow the air distribution direction to be manually selected.

 allow the blower motor speed to be manually selected.
 allow RECIRCULATION mode to be manually selected in all modes except DEFROST. The A/C request
can be cancelled by pressing the A/C request switch, turning the indicator OFF.
 allow A/C compressor operation to be manually selected except in DEFROST.
The HVAC module - DATC also includes:

There are 4 main principles involved with the basic theory of operation:
 Heat transfer
 Latent heat of vaporization
 Relative humidity
 Effects of pressure
Heat Transfer
If 2 substances of different temperature are placed near each other, the heat in the warmer substance will
transfer to the colder substance.
Latent Heat of Vaporization
When a liquid boils (converts to gas) it absorbs heat without raising the temperature of the resulting gas. When
the gas condenses (converts back to a liquid), it gives off heat without lowering the temperature of the resulting
liquid.
Relative Humidity
The amount of moisture (water vapor content) that the air can hold is directly related to the air temperature. The
more heat there is in the air, the more moisture the air can hold. The lower the moisture content in the air, the
more comfortable it is. Removing the moisture from the air lowers its relative humidity and improves personal
comfort.
Effects of Pressure on Boiling or Condensation
As the pressure is increased on a liquid, the temperature at which the liquid boils (converts to gas) also
increases. Conversely, when the pressure on a liquid is reduced, its boiling point is also reduced. When in the
gas state, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature, while a decrease in pressure will decrease
the temperature of the gas.
Microsoft

Compressor Anti-Slugging Strategy (CASS)
Liquid refrigerant may accumulate in the A/C compressor under certain conditions. To alleviate damage to the
A/C compressor, the compressor anti-slugging strategy (CASS) is utilized.
CASS is initiated only under specific conditions:
 Ignition is OFF for more than 8 hours

 Ambient temperature is above -4°C (25°F)
 Battery voltage is above 8.5 volts during engine cranking
When these conditions are present, the PCM will activate the A/C control relay prior to cranking of the engine.
The A/C control relay engages the A/C compressor for approximately 4-15 A/C compressor revolutions or a
maximum of 2 seconds (depending upon vehicle application), allowing the liquid refrigerant to be pushed from
the A/C compressor. CASS is initiated by the PCM regardless of the HVAC - EMTC or the HVAC - DATC
system settings.
The Refrigerant Cycle
During stabilized conditions (A/C system shutdown), the refrigerant pressures are equal throughout the system.
When the A/C compressor is in operation it increases pressure on the refrigerant vapor, raising its temperature.
The high-pressure and high-temperature vapor is then released into the top of the A/C condenser core.
The A/C condenser, being close to ambient temperature, causes the refrigerant vapor to condense into a liquid
when heat is removed from the refrigerant by ambient air passing over the fins and tubing. The now liquid
refrigerant, still at high pressure, exits from the bottom of the A/C condenser and enters the inlet side of the A/C
receiver/drier. The receiver/drier is designed to remove moisture from the refrigerant.
The outlet of the receiver/drier is connected to the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). The TXV provides the
orifice which is the restriction in the refrigerant system and separates the high and low pressure sides of the A/C
system. As the liquid refrigerant passes across this restriction, its pressure and boiling point are reduced.
The liquid refrigerant is now at its lowest pressure and temperature. As it passes through the A/C evaporator, it
absorbs heat from the airflow passing over the plate/fin sections of the A/C evaporator. This addition of heat
causes the refrigerant to boil (convert to gas). The now cooler air can no longer support the same humidity level
of the warmer air and this excess moisture condenses on the exterior of the evaporator coils and fins and drains
outside the vehicle.
The refrigerant cycle is now repeated with the A/C compressor again increasing the pressure and temperature of
the refrigerant.
A thermistor which monitors the temperature of the air that has passed through the evaporator core controls A/C
clutch cycling. If the temperature of the evaporator core discharge air is low enough to cause the condensed
water vapor to freeze, the A/C clutch is disengaged by the vehicle PCM.
The high-side line pressure is also monitored so that A/C compressor operation will be interrupted if the system
pressure becomes too high or is determined to be too low (low charge condition).
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The A/C compressor thermal protection switch will interrupt compressor operation if the compressor housing
exceeds temperature limits.
The A/C compressor relief valve will open and vent refrigerant to relieve unusually high system pressure.

Pinpoint Test O: The Blower Motor Does Not Operate Correctly - DATC
Normal Operation
Under normal operation, the blower motor relay coil receives a ground from the HVAC module - dual
automatic temperature control (DATC) through circuit CH123 (VT/GN). The coil receives ignition voltage
through circuit CBP45 (YE). Voltage is supplied to the relay switch contact through circuit CH402 (YE/GN)/
(BK). When the relay coil is energized, voltage is delivered to the blower motor speed control through circuit
CH402 (YE/GN)/(BK). Ground for the blower motor speed control is provided by circuit GD116 (BK/VT)/
(BK/RD). The HVAC module - DATC provides a blower target speed signal to the blower motor speed control
through circuit VH101 (WH/VT)/(RD) to control the blower speed. The actual blower speed signal is provided
to the HVAC module - DATC through circuit CH102 (YE/BU)/(BN) from the blower motor speed control.
Ground for the motor is provided through circuit (BU) from the blower motor speed control.

Heater Core
NOTE: Testing of returned heater cores reveals that a large percentage of heater
cores are good and did not require the installation of a new heater core. If
a heater core leak is suspected, the heater core must be tested by
following the plugged heater core component test before the heater core
Microsoft

pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by checking the heater

system thoroughly as follows:
1. Inspect for evidence of coolant leakage at the heater hose to heater core attachments. A coolant leak in the
heater hose could follow the heater core tube to the heater core and appear as a leak in the heater core.
NOTE: Spring-type clamps are installed as original equipment. Installation and

overtightening of non-specified clamps can cause leakage at the heater
hose connection and damage the heater core.
2. Check the integrity of the heater hose clamps.
Heater Core - Plugged
1. Check to see that the engine coolant is at the correct level.

2. Start the engine and turn on the heater.
3. When the engine coolant reaches operating temperature, feel the heater core inlet and outlet hoses to see
if they are hot.
4. If the outlet only is not hot:
 the heater core may have an air pocket.
 the heater core may be plugged.
5. If the inlet only is not hot:

 the thermostat may not be working correctly.
Heater Core - Pressure Test
Use the Pressure Test Kit to carry out the pressure test.
NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure
testing.
1. Drain the coolant from the cooling system.

2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core.
3. Install a short piece of heater hose, approximately 101 mm (4 in) long on each heater core tube.
4. Fill the heater core and heater hoses with water and install the 2 plugs BT-7422-B and the adapter BT-
7422-A from the Pressure Test Kit. Secure the heater hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Fig. 109: Heater Core With Adapter & Plug

5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter.
6. Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge. Pump 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure into the heater core.
7. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of 3 minutes.
8. If the pressure drops, check the heater hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the heater hoses do
not leak, remove the heater core from the vehicle and carry out the bench test.
Heater Core - Bench Test
1. Remove the heater core from the vehicle.

2. Drain all of the coolant from the heater core.
3. Connect the 101 mm (4 in) test heater hoses with plug and adapter to the core tubes. Then connect the
Pressure Test Kit to the adapter.
4. Apply 138 kPa (20 psi) of air pressure to the heater core. Submerge the heater core in water.
5. If a leak is observed, install a new heater core.

Evaporator/Condenser Core - On-Vehicle Leak Test
1. Recover the refrigerant. Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and
Charging.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
NOTE: For evaporator core testing only.
2. Remove the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) from the evaporator core.
NOTE: For condenser core testing only.
3. Disconnect the condenser-to-evaporator line spring lock coupling and the compressor-to-condenser
discharge line middle fitting.
4. Connect the appropriate test fitting to the evaporator core TXV connection.
5. Connect the appropriate test fittings to the condenser-to-evaporator line spring lock coupling, condenser
side and the compressor-to-condenser discharge line middle fitting, condenser side.
NOTE: The automatic shut-off valves on some gauge set hoses do not open when
connected to the test fittings. If available, use hoses without shut-off
valves. If hoses with shut-off valves are used, make sure the valve opens
when attached to the test fittings or install an adapter that will activate the
valve. The test is not valid if the shut-off valve does not open.
6. Connect the red and blue hoses from the R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the test fittings on the evaporator
core or condenser core. Connect the yellow hose to a known good vacuum pump.
7. Open both gauge set valves and start the vacuum pump. Allow the vacuum pump to operate for a
minimum of 45 minutes after the gauge set low pressure gauge indicates 101 kPa (30 in-Hg). The 45-
minute evacuation is necessary to remove any refrigerant from oil left in the evaporator core or condenser
core. If the refrigerant is not completely removed from the oil, outgassing will degrade the vacuum and
appear as a refrigerant leak.
8. If the low pressure gauge reading will not drop to 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) when the valves on the gauge and
manifold set are open and the vacuum pump is operating, close the gauge set valves and observe the low
pressure gauge. If the pressure rises rapidly to zero, a large leak is indicated. Recheck the test fitting
connections and gauge set connections before installing a new evaporator core or condenser core.
9. After evacuating for 45 minutes, close the gauge set valves and stop the vacuum pump. Observe the low
pressure gauge; it should remain at the 101 kPa (30 in-Hg) mark.
 If the low pressure gauge reading rises 34 or more kPa (10 or more in-Hg) of vacuum from the 101
kPa (30 in-Hg) position in 10 minutes, a leak is indicated.
 If a very small leak is suspected, wait 30 minutes and observe the vacuum gauge.
 If a small amount of vacuum is lost, operate the vacuum pump with gauge valves open for an
additional 30 minutes to remove any remaining refrigerant from the oil in the evaporator core or
condenser core. Then recheck for loss of vacuum.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit overnight with vacuum applied and check
for vacuum loss.
10. If the evaporator core does leak, as verified by the above procedure, install a new evaporator core.
11. If the test indicates a leak, as verified by the above procedure, inspect and install new O-rings at the
condenser line fittings as necessary. Retest the system. If the test again indicates a leak, install a new
condenser core.
A/C Compressor - External Leak Test
1. Disconnect the evaporator outlet line spring lock coupling and the compressor-to-condenser discharge
line middle fitting.
2. Connect the appropriate test fittings to the evaporator outlet line spring lock coupling, compressor side
and the compressor-to-condenser discharge line middle fitting, compressor side.
3. Connect the high and low pressure lines of a manifold gauge set or a refrigerant recovery/recycling
station such as the R-134a A/C service center to the corresponding fittings on the A/C Pressure Test
Adapter.
4. Attach the center hose of a manifold gauge set to a refrigerant container standing in an upright position.
5. Open the low pressure gauge valve, the high pressure gauge valve and the valve on the refrigerant
container to allow the refrigerant vapor to flow into the A/C compressor.
6. Using the Refrigerant Leak Detector, check for external compressor leaks.
7. If an external leak is found, inspect and install new as necessary the O-rings at the compressor line
fittings. Retest the system. If the test again indicates a leak, install a new compressor.
8. When the leak test is complete, recover the refrigerant from the compressor.

Fluorescent Dye Detection
NOTE: Ford Motor Company vehicles are produced with R-134a fluorescent dye
installed in the refrigerant system from the factory. The location of leaks can be
pinpointed by the bright yellow-green glow of the fluorescent dye under a UV
lamp. Since more than one leak can exist, make sure to inspect each
component, line and fitting in the refrigerant system for a leak.
1. Check for leaks using a Rotunda-approved UV lamp.

 Inspect all components, lines and fittings of the refrigerant system.
2. If a leak is found, recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C)
System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging.
3. Repair the refrigerant system leak(s).
4. Evacuate and charge the refrigerant system. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C)
5. After the leak(s) is/are repaired, remove any traces of fluorescent dye with a general purpose oil solvent.
6. Verify the repair by running the vehicle for a short period of time and rechecking the area of the leak with
a Rotunda-approved UV lamp.
Fluorescent Dye Injection - Using an R-134a Refrigerant Management Center and Dye/Lubricant Injector
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
NOTE: Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the
factory to assist in refrigerant system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved
ultraviolet blacklight. It is not necessary to add additional dye to the refrigerant
system before diagnosing leaks, even if a significant amount of refrigerant has
been removed from the system. Additional refrigerant system dye should only
be added if more than 50% of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been
lost due to a fitting separation, hose rupture or other damage.
NOTE: Before using the dye/lubricant injector from the R-134a Loop/Add On Injector
Kit-Set for the first time, refer to the manufacturer's instructions on evacuation
of any non-condensable gases from the hoses.
NOTE: Only connect the dye/lubricant injector when fluorescent dye is to be injected.
The injector has a one-way check valve that will prevent refrigerant system
recovery and evacuation.
NOTE: Refrigerant system pressure should be between 413-551 kPa (60-80 psi) at 24°C
(75°F) with the engine off.
1. Connect an R-134a Refrigerant Center or a R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the refrigerant system service
port valves.
NOTE: The dye/lubricant injector is included as part of the 219-00069 R-134a

Loop/Add On Injector Kit-Set.
2. Verify that the valves on the dye/lubricant injector are closed.

Fluorescent Dye Injection - Using an R-134a Loop/Add On Injector Kit-Set
NOTE: Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the
factory to assist in refrigerant system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved
ultraviolet blacklight. It is not necessary to add additional dye to the refrigerant
system before diagnosing leaks, even if a significant amount of refrigerant has
been removed from the system. Additional refrigerant system dye should only
be added if more than 50% of the refrigerant system lubricant capacity has been
lost due to a fitting separation, hose rupture or other damage.
NOTE: Before using the R-134a Loop/Add On Injector Kit-Set for the first time, refer to
the equipment manufacturer's instructions on evacuation of non-condensable
gases from the hoses.

ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTION
Special Tools
Heated Pentode Halogen Leak

Detector
NOTE: Good ventilation is necessary in the area where electronic A/C leak testing is to
be carried out. If the surrounding air is contaminated with refrigerant gas, the
Heated Pentode Halogen Leak Detector will indicate this gas all the time. Odors
from other chemicals such as antifreeze, diesel fuel, disc brake cleaner or other
cleaning solvents can cause the same problem. Using a fan to ventilate the area
to be tested before proceeding with the leak detection procedure is helpful in
removing small traces of contamination from the air, but the fan should be
turned off during actual testing.
NOTE: R-134a is heavier than air, and will tend to move downward from the source of
the leak if present. It is possible that a leak may not be detected if the leak
detector tip is held above the leaking fitting, line or component. Always be sure
to thoroughly leak test below the fitting, line or component for the presence of
R-134a as well as leak testing above and around.
NOTE: The system pressure should be between 413-551 kPa (60-80 psi) at 24°C

Refrigerant System Recovery
NOTE: An air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery
of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts the shop's bulk refrigerant
at risk of contamination. If the vehicle's A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer
the customer to the service facility that carried out the last A/C service. If the
customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment
that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All
contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all
equipment, follow the equipment manufacturer procedures and instructions.
NOTE: Ford Motor Company recommends use of an R-134a Refrigerant Management

WARNING: Take the following precautions when repairing an air conditioning system
containing R-134a:
 Always wear safety goggles.

 Avoid contact with liquid refrigerant R-134a. R-134a vaporizes at
approximately -25°C (-13°F) under atmospheric pressure and will
freeze skin tissue.
 Never allow refrigerant R-134a gas to escape in quantity in an
occupied space. It will displace the oxygen needed to support life.
 Never use a torch in an atmosphere containing R-134a gas. R-134a is
non-toxic at all normal conditions, but it decomposes when exposed
to high temperatures such as a torch flame. During decomposition it
releases irritating and toxic gasses (as described in the MSDS sheet
from the manufacturer). Decomposition products are hydrofluoric
acid, carbon dioxide and water.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: An air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant analyzer must be used before the
recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts the shop's
bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle's A/C refrigerant is
contaminated, refer the customer to the service facility that carried out the
last A/C service. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the
A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated
A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as
hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturer
procedures and instructions.
CAUTION: Receiver/drier desiccant bag, thermostatic expansion valve (TXV), and

hoses with mufflers should be removed when flushing the air conditioning
(A/C) system. Internal plumbing of these devices makes it impossible to
correctly remove any residual-flushing agent. These components are
typically discarded after A/C system contamination. Hoses without
mufflers can normally be reused unless they are clogged with foreign
material. The 3.785L (1 gal) of A/C System Flushing Solvent YN-23 and
FL1-A filter used in A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 are intended
for use on one vehicle only. They may be used to flush both the A/C
condenser core and the A/C evaporator core on an individual vehicle, but
under no circumstances should they be used on more than one vehicle.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
CAUTION: Only the A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 and A/C Systems
Flushing Solvent, is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No other flushing
device or solvent is approved for flushing heat exchangers (air
conditioning [A/C] condenser, A/C evaporator). Use of any other flusher or
solvent may cause damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
NOTE: Prior to using the A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219-00022 for the first time,
review the operating instructions.
NOTE: Ford Motor Company has approved a procedure to provide technicians with a
non-CFC method of flushing contaminated A/C system heat exchangers. The
procedure allows the specific components to be cleaned and flushed. The types
of contamination flushed include particle matter that results from A/C
compressor or desiccant failure and gummy residue that can form when
refrigerant oil is overheated during A/C compressor seizure. The flushing
process is a 2-step procedure that involves the use of an A/C Flush and Purge
Machine 219-00022 to:
 circulate the flushing solvent through the heat exchanger in the reverse
direction of normal refrigerant flow (back-flushing). Particulate matter
picked up during flushing is filtered from the returning solvent before the
solvent is returned to the reservoir for continued circulation.
 remove the flushing solvent from the heat exchanger. In this step of the
procedure, pressurized air 621-862 kPa (90-125 psi) is used to push and
evaporate any remaining flush solvent from the heat exchanger.
1. Remove the desiccant bag. For additional information, refer to CLIMATE CONTROL article.

REFRIGERANT IDENTIFICATION TESTING
Special Tools
Refrigerant Identifier with Air-

Radiator
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Refrigerant Identification
NOTE: A Refrigerant Identifier with Air-Radiator must be used to identify gas

samples taken directly from the refrigeration system or storage containers
prior to recovering or charging the refrigerant system.
1. Follow the instructions included with the Refrigerant Identifier with Air-Radiator to obtain the sample for
testing.
2. The Refrigerant Identifier with Air-Radiator will display one of the following:
 If the purity level of R-134a is 98% or greater by weight, the green PASS LED will light. The
weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22, hydrocarbons and air will be displayed on the digital
display.
 If refrigerant R-134a does not meet the 98% purity level, the red FAIL LED will light and an alarm
will sound alerting the user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22
and hydrocarbons will be displayed on the digital display.
 If hydrocarbon concentrations are 2% or greater by weight, the red FAIL LED will light,
"Hydrocarbon High" will be displayed on the digital display, and an alarm will sound alerting the
user of potential hazards. The weight concentrations of R-134a, R-12, R-22 and hydrocarbons will
also be displayed on the digital display.
3. The percentage of air contained in the sample will be displayed if the R-134a content is 98% or greater.
The scan tool eliminates the effect of air when determining the refrigerant sample content because air is
not considered a contaminant, although air can affect A/C system performance. When the scan tool has
determined that a refrigerant source is pure (R-134a is 98% or greater by weight) and air concentration
levels are 2% or greater by weight, the scan tool will prompt the user if an air purge is desired.
4. If contaminated refrigerant is detected, repeat the refrigerant identification test to verify that the
refrigerant is indeed contaminated.
Contaminated Refrigerant Handling
NOTE: If contaminated refrigerant is detected, DO NOT recover the refrigerant into R-

134a recovery/recycling equipment. Recovery of contaminated refrigerant will
contaminate the recovered refrigerant supply and may damage the
recovery/recycling equipment.
NOTE: A new suction accumulator or receiver/drier must be installed as directed by the

A/C system flushing procedure.
1. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery-only equipment designed for capturing and
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
storing contaminated refrigerant only.

 If this equipment is not available, contact an A/C service facility in the area with the correct
equipment to carry out this service.
2. Determine and correct the cause of the customers initial concern.
3. Flush the A/C system.
4. Dispose of the contaminated refrigerant in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations.

AIR CONDITIONING
The refrigerant system components include the following:
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 A/C compressor and clutch assembly

 A/C condenser core
 A/C evaporator core
 Receiver/drier desiccant bag
 Connecting refrigerant lines
 Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV)
The refrigerant system incorporates an A/C compressor controlled by the PCM through an A/C clutch relay.
The HVAC module sends an A/C request signal to the instrument cluster, which relays the request to the PCM.
An evaporator temperature sensor is used to cycle the A/C compressor off when the evaporator core
temperature falls below an acceptable temperature.
The HVAC module will send an A/C request signal to the instrument cluster if the following conditions are met:
 A mode which requires A/C operation has been manually selected by the driver or automatically selected
by the HVAC module in AUTO mode.
 The A/C evaporator temperature sensor is reading an acceptable evaporator core temperature.
When an A/C request is received, the A/C compressor clutch will only be engaged by the PCM through the A/C
clutch relay if all of the following conditions are met:
 The engine has been running for more than 5 seconds.

 Engine speed is above 425 RPM and below 5,800 RPM.
 The A/C pressure transducer is reading an acceptable pressure in the high side of the refrigerant system.
 The engine coolant temperature is not excessively high.
 The PCM has not detected a wide open throttle (WOT) condition.
An A/C pressure relief valve is installed in the A/C compressor to protect the refrigerant system against
excessively high refrigerant pressures.
Refrigerant flow into the evaporator core is metered by a TXV.
A/C Compressor and Clutch Assembly
NOTE: A/C compressor components are not serviced separately. The A/C compressor
is serviced only as an assembly.
The A/C compressor has the following characteristics:
 A non-serviceable shaft seal.

 A pressure relief valve is installed in the rear of the compressor to protect the refrigerant system against
excessively high refrigerant pressures.
 The A/C compressor uses PAG oil or equivalent. This oil contains special additives required for the A/C
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
compressor.
 The A/C compressor oil may have some slightly dark-colored streaks while maintaining normal oil
viscosity. This is normal for this A/C compressor because of break-in wear that can discolor the oil.
 Use the oil matching procedure specified for this vehicle when installing a new A/C compressor.
When battery voltage is applied to the A/C compressor clutch field coil, the clutch disc and hub assembly is
drawn toward the A/C clutch pulley. The magnetic force locks the clutch plate and hub assembly and the A/C
clutch pulley together as one unit, causing the compressor shaft to rotate. When battery voltage is removed from
the A/C compressor clutch field coil, springs in the clutch plate and hub assembly move the clutch plate away
from the A/C clutch pulley.
A/C Condenser
NOTE: The A/C condenser for this vehicle is produced from the factory with a
receiver/drier desiccant bag installed in the integrated receiver/drier. This
receiver/drier desiccant bag may become contaminated with moisture if the A/C
condenser is not installed for an extended period of time. Since it cannot be
determined how much time has elapsed between production and installation of
the unit as a service part, the receiver/drier desiccant bag must be removed and
replaced with the separate receiver/drier desiccant bag, which is supplied
together with the A/C condenser service part kit.
The A/C condenser is an aluminum fin-and-tube design heat exchanger located in front of the vehicle radiator.
It cools compressed refrigerant gas by allowing air to pass over fins and tubes to extract heat and by condensing
gas to liquid refrigerant as it is cooled.
The receiver/drier is incorporated onto the LH side of the A/C condenser. The receiver/drier desiccant bag is a
separate component and can be separately removed and installed with the A/C condenser removed from the
vehicle.
Evaporator Core
The evaporator core is an aluminum plate/fin type and is located in the heater core and evaporator core housing.
A mixture of liquid refrigerant and oil enters the bottom of the evaporator core through the evaporator core inlet
tube and continues out of the evaporator core through the evaporator core outlet tube as a vapor. During A/C
compressor operation, airflow from the blower motor is cooled and dehumidified as it flows through the
evaporator core fins.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
The thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) is located at the evaporator core inlet and outlet tubes at the center rear
of the engine compartment. The TXV provides a restriction to the flow of refrigerant from the high-pressure
side of the refrigerant system and separates the low-pressure and high-pressure sides of the refrigerant system.
Refrigerant entering and exiting the evaporator core passes through the TXV through 2 separate flow paths. An
internal temperature sensing bulb senses the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator core
and adjusts an internal pin-type valve to meter the refrigerant flow into the evaporator core. The internal pin-
type valve decreases the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator core at lower temperatures and increases
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator core at higher temperatures.
Receiver/Drier
NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier desiccant bag is not required when repairing
the A/C system, except when there is physical evidence of contamination from a
failed A/C compressor or damage to the receiver/drier desiccant bag. Damage
to the receiver/drier desiccant bag includes physical damage to the
receiver/drier desiccant bag or moisture contamination. Moisture contamination
results only from a complete loss of refrigerant and equalization of the
refrigerant system pressure with atmospheric pressure for a period longer than
one hour. If even a slight amount of positive refrigerant pressure is present in
the system before repairs are carried out, the receiver/drier desiccant bag
should not be replaced.
The receiver/drier is integral to the A/C condenser. It stores high-pressure liquid refrigerant after it leaves the
condenser core. A receiver/drier desiccant bag installed inside the receiver/drier removes any retained moisture
from the refrigerant. The receiver/drier desiccant bag is a separate component and can be separately removed
and installed with the A/C condenser removed from the vehicle.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor contains a thermistor which receives a reference voltage from the HVAC
module. The thermistor then varies the resistance to the reference voltage based on the evaporator fin
temperature. The resulting voltage is returned to the HVAC module where it is interpreted as an evaporator fin
temperature reading.
The HVAC module maintains evaporator core temperature and prevents icing of the evaporator core. It does
this by switching off the A/C request signal to the instrument cluster when the evaporator temperature sensor
reading falls below acceptable levels, and by switching on the A/C request when the evaporator temperature
rises above acceptable levels.
The evaporator temperature sensor electrical connector is located outside of the heater core and evaporator core
housing near the accelerator pedal, with the sensor pigtail leading into the housing to the sensor probe which is
inserted between the evaporator core fins.
The evaporator temperature sensor is not available as a separate component. To install a new evaporator
temperature sensor, a new heater core and evaporator core housing must be installed.
A/C Pressure Transducer
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the compressor discharge pressure and communicates with the PCM. The
PCM will interrupt A/C compressor operation in the event that the A/C pressure transducer indicates high
system discharge pressures. It is also used to sense low charge conditions. If the pressure is below a
predetermined value for a given ambient temperature, the PCM will not allow the clutch to engage. It is not
necessary to recover the refrigerant before removing the A/C pressure transducer.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Service Gauge Port Valves
The high-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the compressor-to-condenser discharge line.
The low-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the compressor suction line.
Fig. 1: Exploded View Of Service Gauge Port Valves With Torque Specifications

4 19D701 High-pressure Schrader-type valve
5 - High-pressure service gauge port valve
6 19D702 High-pressure service gauge port valve
cap
The fitting is an integral part of the refrigerant line or component.
 Special couplings are required for both the high-side and low-side service gauge ports.
 A very small amount of leakage will always be detectable around the Schrader-type valve with the service
gauge port valve cap removed, and is considered normal. A new Schrader-type valve core can be installed
if the seal leaks excessively.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 The service gauge port valve caps are used as primary seals in the refrigerant system to prevent leakage
through the Schrader-type valves from reaching the atmosphere. Always install and tighten the A/C
service gauge port valve caps to the correct torque after they are removed.
Refrigerant System Dye
A fluorescent refrigerant system dye "wafer" is added to the receiver/drier desiccant bag to assist in refrigerant
system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved ultraviolet blacklight. This fluorescent dye "wafer" will
dissolve after about 30 minutes of continued A/C operation. It is not necessary to add additional dye to the
refrigerant system before diagnosing leaks, even if a significant amount of refrigerant has been removed from
the system. Additional refrigerant system dye should only be added if more than 50% of the refrigerant system
lubricant capacity has been lost due to a fitting separation or hose rupture. Refer to CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSTICS article.
AIR DISTRIBUTION AND FILTERING
Air Distribution
There are 2 sources of air available to the air distribution system:
 Outside air
 Recirculated air
Recirculated air is always used when the climate control assembly is set to the MAX A/C mode on vehicles
equipped with electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) and can be selected in any mode except
DEFROST. Vehicles equipped with dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) use
recirculated air only when the RECIRC function is selected in any mode other than DEFROST, or when
required by the HVAC module in the AUTOMATIC mode.
RECIRC is a timed function when selected while operating in FLOOR or FLOOR/DEFROST mode, and will
automatically default back to fresh air inlet in 5 minutes if operating with A/C ON at an ambient temperature
below 10°C (50°F). When operating with A/C OFF, the RECIRC function will always default back to fresh air
inlet in 5 minutes regardless of ambient temperature.
Air distribution within the vehicle is determined by the airflow mode selected, or by the dual-zone EATC
system in the AUTOMATIC mode. The air distribution mode on vehicles equipped with dual-zone EATC can
be overridden by the driver if desired. Airflow mode control doors are used to direct airflow within the heater
core and evaporator core housing. Electric mode door actuators are used to position these airflow mode doors.
Vehicles equipped with dual-zone EATC use 2 separate temperature blend doors. This allows individual
temperature settings to be selected for the RH and LH air outlets. The airflow mode doors are not partitioned for
separate RH and LH airflow positions. Therefore, the airflow mode will always remain similar for the RH and
LH sides of the vehicle regardless of the temperatures selected.
Air enters the passenger compartment from the following outlets:
 Instrument panel registers

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 Floor duct outlets

 Windshield defroster
 Side window demisters
 Rear footwell duct
 Center console registers
Passenger compartment air is exhausted from the vehicle through open windows or body air vents.
Cabin Air Filter
A cabin air filter is available as standard equipment on dual-zone EATC vehicles. EMTC vehicles are not
equipped from the factory with a cabin air filter, but are equipped with a screen in place of the filter to prevent
any large foreign material from entering the heater core and evaporator core housing. The cabin air filter or
screen can be accessed by removing the glove compartment and removing the cabin air filter access cover.
A cabin air filter can be installed as a dealer accessory on vehicles not originally equipped with a filter, but only
a screen or a filter should be installed, never both.
CONTROL COMPONENTS
Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC)
The electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) components are used to select the following:
 Air inlet source (outside or recirculated)

 Blower motor speed
 Discharge air temperature (temperature blend)
 Discharge air location (defrost, panel, floor)
 A/C compressor operation
Control System Inputs
The EMTC system has 2 system control inputs.
HVAC Module
The HVAC module integrates the temperature control, airflow mode selection, A/C request button, recirculated
air request button and rear defog switch into a single unit.
The temperature control selector setting determines air temperature. Movement of the temperature display from
COOL (blue) to WARM (red) causes a corresponding movement of the temperature blend door and determines
the discharge air temperature that the air distribution system will maintain. The temperature control selector is
an integral part of the HVAC module and cannot be installed separately. The temperature selector knob is
removable and can be separately replaced.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
The airflow mode setting determines air discharge location. Movement of the airflow mode selector causes a
corresponding movement of the airflow mode doors and determines the air discharge location. The airflow
mode selector is an integral part of the HVAC module and cannot be installed separately. The airflow mode
selector knob is removable and can be separately replaced.
The A/C request button determines A/C compressor operation, except when the airflow mode selector is in the
OFF, MAX A/C or DEFROST mode. The A/C request button is an integral part of the HVAC module and
cannot be installed separately.
The recirculated air request button can select recirculated air in any mode except DEFROST, and fresh air in
any mode except MAX A/C or OFF. The recirculated air request button is an integral part of the HVAC module
and cannot be installed separately.
The rear defog button signals activation of the heated backlight. The rear defog button is an integral part of the
HVAC module and cannot be installed separately.
Blower Motor Switch
The blower motor switch is mounted in the HVAC module and controls blower motor speed by adding or
bypassing resistors in the blower motor resistor in all modes except OFF. The blower motor switch knob is
removable and can be separately replaced.
Control System Outputs
The EMTC system has 4 system outputs.
Blower Motor Resistor
The blower motor switch varies the blower motor ground circuit resistance by adding or bypassing series
resistance in the blower motor resistor. Increased resistance will lower the blower motor speed, and lowered
resistance will increase blower motor speed. When the blower motor is in the HI position, the blower motor
resistor is bypassed.
The blower motor resistor is located on the heater core and evaporator core housing.
Temperature Blend Door Actuator
The temperature blend door actuator moves the temperature blend door on command from the HVAC module.
The temperature blend door actuator contains a reversible electric motor and a potentiometer. The potentiometer
circuit consists of a 5-volt reference signal connected to one end of a variable resistor, and a signal ground
connected to the other. A signal return circuit is connected to a contact wiper, which is driven along the variable
resistor by the actuator shaft. The signal returned to the HVAC module from the contact wiper indicates the
position of the temperature blend door. The HVAC module drives the actuator motor in whichever direction is
necessary to make the actuator contact wiper voltage agree with the expected HVAC module contact wiper
voltage value.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
Airflow Mode Door Actuator
The airflow mode door actuator uses a cam and lever assembly to position the airflow mode doors on command
from the HVAC module. The mode door actuator contains a reversible electric motor and potentiometer. The
potentiometer allows the HVAC module to monitor the position of the airflow mode doors. The potentiometer
position of the airflow mode doors.
Air Inlet Mode Door Actuator
The air inlet mode door actuator moves the air inlet door between the fresh and RECIRC positions on command
from the HVAC module. The air inlet mode door actuator is driven to, and will automatically stop at, the full
RECIRC or full fresh air inlet position and does not require a potentiometer circuit to monitor its position.
Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC)
The dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control HVAC module analyzes input from the following major
sources:
 Temperature, airflow mode, blower, A/C and RECIRC selection (made by the vehicle occupants)
 In-vehicle temperature sensor
 Ambient temperature sensor
 Vehicle speed
 Engine coolant temperature
Using these inputs, the dual-zone HVAC module determines the correct conditions for the following outputs:
 A/C compressor operation

 Blower speed
 Temperature blend door position
 Airflow mode door position
 Air inlet door position
Control System Inputs
The dual-zone EATC system has 4 control system inputs.
HVAC Module
The HVAC module provides an interface for the vehicle occupants to control the climate control system, or
automatically controls the climate control system in the AUTO mode. The HVAC module has a vacuum
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
fluorescent display for displaying set temperature, airflow direction, blower speed and DTCs. An on-board
diagnostic (OBD) feature is incorporated to supply the technician with DTCs. These DTCs help direct the
technician to the inoperative component.
In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor
The in-vehicle temperature sensor contains a thermistor, which measures the in-vehicle air temperature and
sends that reading to the HVAC module. An aspirator hose is connected between the heater core and evaporator
core housing and the in-vehicle temperature sensor. The aspirator hose uses airflow through the heater core and
evaporator core housing to create a venturi-type suction to draw in-vehicle air through the in-vehicle
temperature sensor (across the thermistor).
Solar Radiation Sensor (Sunload Sensor)
The solar radiation sensor supplies information to the HVAC module indicating sunload.
Ambient Temperature Sensor
The ambient temperature sensor signal is received by the HVAC module and indicates the outside air
temperature. The ambient temperature sensor is located in front of the radiator on the radiator support bolster.
The ambient temperature sensor signal is not the sole factor considered by the HVAC module for the outside air
temperature display. Therefore, the ambient temperature PID monitored with a scan tool may not exactly match
the HVAC module display. For information regarding the HVAC module outside air temperature display, refer
to CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSTICS article.
Control System Outputs
The EATC system has 4 control system outputs.
Blower Motor Speed Control
The blower motor speed control controls the blower motor speed by converting low power signals from the
HVAC module to a high current, variable ground feed for the blower motor. A delay function is used to provide
a gradual increase or decrease in blower motor speed under all conditions.
Temperature Blend Door Actuators
The dual-zone EATC system uses 2 temperature blend door actuators to control 2 separate temperature blend
doors. The temperature blend doors independently vary the LH side and RH side temperature settings, as
desired. The temperature blend door actuators each contain a reversible electric motor and a potentiometer. The
potentiometer circuit consists of a 5-volt reference signal connected to one end of a variable resistor, and a
signal ground connected to the other. A signal return circuit is connected to a contact wiper, which is driven
along the variable resistor by the actuator shaft. The signal returned to the HVAC module from the contact
wiper indicates the position of the temperature blend door. The HVAC module drives the actuator motor in
whichever direction is necessary to make the actuator contact wiper voltage agree with the expected HVAC
module contact wiper voltage value.

2008 Ford Edge SE
Airflow Mode Door Actuator
The airflow mode door actuator uses a cam and lever assembly to position the airflow mode doors on command
from the HVAC module. The mode door actuator contains a reversible electric motor and potentiometer. The
potentiometer allows the HVAC module to monitor the position of the airflow mode doors. The potentiometer
position of the airflow mode doors.
Air Inlet Mode Door Actuator
The air inlet mode door actuator moves the air inlet door between the fresh and RECIRC positions on command
from the HVAC module. The air inlet mode door actuator is driven to, and will automatically stop at, the full
RECIRC or full fresh air inlet position and does not require a potentiometer circuit to monitor its position.
HEATING AND VENTILATION
The heating and ventilation system has the following features:
 Controls the temperature and, during A/C operation, reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the
vehicle.
 Delivers heated or cooled air to maintain the vehicle interior temperature and comfort level.
 Cooling or heating can be adjusted to maintain the desired temperature.
 Uses a reheat method to provide conditioned air to the passenger compartment.
 All airflow from the blower motor passes through the A/C evaporator core.
 Temperature blending is controlled by the temperature blend door(s), which regulate(s) the amount of air
that flows through and around the heater core, where it is then mixed and distributed.
Heater Core
The heater core consists of fins and tubes arranged to extract heat from the engine coolant and transfer the heat
to air passing through the heater core.
Blower Motor
The blower motor pulls air from the air inlet and forces it into the heater core and evaporator core housing
where it is mixed and distributed.
Heater Core and Evaporator Core Housing
The heater core and evaporator core housing directs airflow from the blower motor through the evaporator core
and heater core. All airflow from the blower motor passes through the evaporator core. The airflow is then
directed through or around the heater core by the temperature blend door(s). Vehicles equipped with dual-zone
electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) use a partitioned heater core and evaporator core housing with
2 electric actuator-positioned temperature blend doors. This allows for separate temperatures to be selected for
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
the driver and passenger sides of the passenger compartment. Manual systems use a single electric actuator-
positioned temperature blend door to direct airflow through or around the heater core.

HYDRAULIC BRAKE ACTUATION
The hydraulic brake actuation system consists of the following components:
 Brake master cylinder

 Brake fluid reservoir
 Brake pedal and bracket assembly
 Brake tubes and hoses
 Hydraulic control unit (HCU)
Hydraulic Brake Actuation - The brake pedal is connected to the power brake booster, which is connected to
the brake master cylinder. When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is forced from the master cylinder
through the steel tubing and flexible hoses to the front disc brake calipers and the rear disc brake calipers. The
front disc brake caliper pistons are forced outward against the brake pads, which contact the braking surface of
the brake discs. The brake fluid calipers are pressurized by the master cylinder, forcing the disc brake caliper
pistons outward against the brake pads. The brake pads press against the braking surface on the brake discs.
When the brake pedal is released, the pressure is relieved, returning the brake caliper pistons and the brake pads
to the at-rest position.
The dual brake system is split front and rear with the front wheel brakes comprising one circuit and the rear
wheel brakes the other circuit.

of:
 Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors.

 a Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor.
 ignition coil-on-plugs.
 spark plugs.
The CMP sensors:
 are variable reluctance sensors.

 are mounted in the rear of the cylinder head.
 are triggered by a 3-plus-1 timing wheel on each intake camshaft.
 provides camshaft rotational location information to the PCM.
The CKP sensor:

Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
 is a variable reluctance sensor.

 is triggered by a 36-minus-1 tooth trigger wheel mounted on the crankshaft, at the rear of the engine.
 provides base timing and crankshaft speed (RPM) to the PCM.
The ignition coil-on-plugs:
 change low voltage signals from the PCM to high voltage pulses.
 produce the high voltage pulses to the spark plugs.
 are connected directly to each spark plug.
 have replaceable coil seals.
The spark plugs:
 change high voltage pulses into a spark which ignites the fuel and air mixture.
 originally equipped on the vehicle have a platinum-enhanced fine wire electrode for long life.

Instrument Cluster And Panel Illumination - Edge & MKX

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PANEL ILLUMINATION
The instrument cluster (IC) and panel illumination is used to provide backlighting to the dimmable and non-
dimmable switches and control components.
For Edge vehicles equipped with autolamps, if the exterior lamps are activated during daytime sunload
conditions, the message center illumination remains at full intensity and does not dim from the instrument panel
dimmer switch during this condition. If the vehicle travels under a bridge or a tunnel, the low level of ambient
light causes the illumination level of the message center to change to the level set by the instrument panel
dimmer switch. The message center illumination changes back to full intensity when the intense ambient light is
restored.
For MKX vehicles equipped with autolamps, if the exterior lamps are activated during daytime sunload
conditions, the message center, audio control module (ACM), heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC)
module and switch illumination remain at full intensity and do not dim from the instrument panel dimmer
switch during this condition. If the vehicle travels under a bridge or a tunnel, the low level of ambient light
causes the illumination level of the message center, ACM, HVAC module and switch to change to the level set
by the instrument panel dimmer switch. The message center, ACM, HVAC module and switch illumination
change back to full intensity when the intense ambient light is restored.
Dimmable Backlighting
NOTE: If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the instrument panel dimmer

switch requires re-calibration. Rotate the instrument panel dimmer switch from
the full dim position to the dome ON position. This will make sure that all
displays are visible under all lighting conditions.
The dimmable switches and components are illuminated when the headlamp switch is in either the PARKING
LAMPS ON or HEADLAMPS ON position. The level of intensity is adjustable by rotating the instrument panel
dimmer switch either up to increase intensity or down to decrease intensity.
The dimmable switches and components consist of:
 HVAC module - EATC (if equipped)

 HVAC module - EMTC (if equipped)
 Floor shifter
 Heated driver seat switch (if equipped)
 Heated passenger seat switch (if equipped)
 LH rear heated seat switch (if equipped)

Non-Dimmable Backlighting
The non-dimmable (fixed) lighting switches and components are illuminated when the delayed accessory relay
is energized. The non-dimmable switches and components are illuminated at full lamp intensity.
The non-dimmable lighting switches and components consist of:
 Door lock control switches (Edge)

Dimmable Backlighting
(GEM).
When the parking lamps are on, the SJB monitors the input from the instrument panel dimmer switch. The SJB
sends a pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage to the dimmable components and switches based on input
received from the instrument panel dimmer switch.
The SJB also sends a message over the network to the audio control module (ACM), the rear entertainment
module (RETM), the HVAC module - EATC, and the instrument cluster (IC) to indicate the backlighting
intensity level. If the receiving module receives invalid backlighting data from the SJB for 5 seconds or less, the
receiving module defaults the backlighting to the last setting.
If the receiving module does not receive the backlighting status message from the SJB or if the data received is
deemed invalid for more than 5 seconds, the receiving module sets DTC U0140 in continuous memory (except
the HVAC module - EATC) and defaults the backlighting to full intensity.
Fixed Backlighting
For Edge, when the accessory delay relay is energized, switched voltage is supplied to the window control and
door lock switches.
The MKX is not equipped with any fixed backlighting components.
The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the LED backlighting
output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are
shut down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault is detected. A continuous DTC
is stored at that time for the fault. The circuit will then reset after a customer demand of the function (switching
the component on, battery saver being energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the
Microsoft
2008 Ford Edge SE
module shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. At the same time, the continuous DTC that
was stored on the first failure will not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not
allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal until a successful on-demand self-test proves that
the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs
present), the continuous DTC will have been cleared and the circuit function will return.
B1342 set along with the associated continuous DTC. These DTCs cannot be cleared and the module must be
replaced.
The SJB FET protected output circuits for the instrument panel illumination system are for the white lighting
(MKX) and LED backlighting (Edge) output circuits.
Instrument Panel Dimmer Switch Calibration
If the battery is disconnected or discharged, the instrument panel dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Rotate
the instrument panel dimmer switch from the full dim position to the dome ON position. This will make sure
that all displays are visible under all lighting conditions.

Pinpoint Test C: All Instrument Panel Illumination Does Not Dim
Normal Operation
The smart junction box (SJB) monitors the input from the instrument panel dimmer switch by sending a voltage
reference signal through circuit VLN18 (BU/WH) to the instrument panel dimmer switch. The return signal is
sent through circuit CLN27 (WH/BN) back to the SJB. Based on the input from the instrument panel dimmer
switch, the SJB sends a pulse-width modulated (PWM) voltage signal to the dimmable illumination sources. If
the SJB detects a concern with the circuitry to the instrument panel dimmer switch, the SJB defaults the
backlighting to a full intensity level.
The SJB also sends a message over the network to the audio control module (ACM), the rear entertainment
module (RETM), the HVAC module - EATC, and the instrument cluster (IC) to indicate the backlighting
intensity level. If the receiving module receives invalid backlighting data from the SJB for 5 seconds or less, the
receiving module defaults the backlighting to the last setting.
If the receiving module does not receive the backlighting status message from the SJB or if the data received is
deemed invalid for more than 5 seconds, the receiving module sets DTC U0140 in continuous memory (except
the climate control module) and defaults the backlighting to full intensity.
