Torque Converter

The torque converter transmits and multiplies torque. The torque converter is a 4-element device:

• Impeller and cover assembly


• Turbine
• Reactor
• Clutch and damper assembly

Rotation of the torque converter housing and impeller set the transmission fluid in motion by driving the
impeller blades and pump.

The turbine is driven by the transmission fluid from the impeller and transmits power to the input shaft.

The reactor redirects transmission fluid flow returned from the turbine to the impeller so that it rotates in the
same direction as the impeller. This action assists in torque multiplication.

The reactor has a One-Way Clutch (OWC) to hold it stationary during torque multiplication and allows it to
rotate at higher vehicle speeds.

Torque Converter 3529


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) connects the torque converter housing to the damper when the TCC is
applied.

During TCC release, the direction that the transmission fluid flows through the torque converter allows the
TCC to release. During TCC apply, the transmission fluid flows in the opposite direction to apply the TCC .

The PCM controls TCC operation using the TCC solenoid in the solenoid body. TCC solenoid operation
provides the modulation of hydraulic pressure to change the position of the TCC control valve and TCC

Shift Patterns

Upshifts

Upshifting is controlled by the PCM. The PCM receives inputs from various engine or vehicle sensors and
driver demands to control shift scheduling, shift feel and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) operation.

The PCM has an adaptive learn strategy to electronically control the transaxle which will automatically adjust
the shift feel through the life of the vehicle. The first few hundred miles of operation of the transaxle may
have abrupt shifting. This is a normal operation. To reset the adaptive shift pressure strategy, use the scan tool
to clear the transmission keep alive memory tables.

Downshifts

Under certain conditions, the transaxle will downshift automatically to a lower gear range (without moving
the selector lever). There are 3 categories of automatic downshifts: coastdown, torque demand and forced or
kickdown shifts.

Coastdown

The coastdown downshift occurs when the vehicle is ting down to a stop.

Torque Demand

The torque demand downshift occurs (automatically) during part throttle acceleration when the demand for
torque is greater than the engine can provide at that gear ratio. If applied, the transmission will disengage the
TCC to provide added acceleration.

Kickdown

For maximum acceleration, the driver can force a downshift by pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor. A
forced downshift into a lower gear is possible below calibrated speeds. Specifications for downshift speeds are
subject to variations due to tire size, engine and transaxle calibration requirements.

Differential

The differential allows the halfshafts and wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering and transfers
power to the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) for All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles.

The differential assembly consists of the following components:

• Differential case (part of the final drive carrier)

Final Drive Component Cutaway View 3538


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
• Two pinion gears supported by a pinion shaft
• Two side gears supported by the differential case and halfshafts

When driving in a straight line, both front wheels rotate at relatively the same speed. This means both side
gears are rotating at the same speed, as well, while both pinion gears revolve (but do not rotate) with the side
gears. During cornering, the wheel on the outside of the turn is forced to rotate faster than the wheel on the
inside of the turn. Since the side gears must now rotate at different speeds, the pinion gears rotate on the
pinion shaft allowing the drive axles to rotate at different speeds while still transferring output torque.

Lubrication

Transmission fluid enters the lubrication circuits after flowing through the transmission fluid cooler. The
transmission fluid cooler is mounted at the front of the vehicle. When the transmission fluid is not up to
operating temperature, an internal thermal bypass valve allows the transmission fluid to bypass the
transmission fluid cooler. When the transmission fluid circulates through the transmission fluid cooler, the
transmission fluid returns to the transaxle from the transmission fluid cooler tubes through the back
transmission fluid cooler tube.

The transmission fluid enters main lubrication circuit through the transaxle case and flows through passages in
the input shaft to lubricate the transaxle.

Line Pressure Hydraulic Circuits

Line pressure is controlled by the Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, which is controlled by the PCM.
This effects shift feel and apply component operation.

When the engine is running, the pump supplies pressure to the main pressure regulator valve, which is
controlled by the LPC solenoid. The main pressure regulator valve controls the line pressure to the LINE
circuit which supplies the manual valve solenoid regulator valve and the control pressure regulator valve.

When the manual valve is in the reverse position, it supplies the clutch control bypass valve with line pressure
to position it to supply line pressure to the direct (3, 5, R) regulator valve and regulated line pressure to the
low/reverse clutch to apply the clutch.

Hydraulic Circuits 3561


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

When the manual valve is in the DRIVE or LOW positions, it directs line pressure from the LINE circuit to
the DRIVE circuit to supply line pressure to the:

• Clutch control bypass valve


• Forward (1, 2, 3, 4) regulator valve
• Intermediate (2, 6) regulator valve
• Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) regulator valve
• Direct (3, 5, R) clutch regulator valve

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) And Lubrication Hydraulic Circuits

Pressure for TCC release is supplied by the main pressure regulator valve to the TCC control valve through
the CONV FD circuit. The CONV FD circuit also supplies lubrication for the differential. When the TCC is
released, the TCC control valve is positioned by the TCC solenoid to direct CONV FD pressure to the TCC
RELEASE circuit to release the TCC . TCC RELEASE pressure returns to the TCC control valve through the
TCC APPLY circuit. The position of the TCC control valve opens the TCC APPLY circuit to the COOLER
FD circuit which allows the transmission fluid returned from the torque converter to cycle through the thermal
bypass valve circuit when the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) is below 80°C-93°C (176°F-200°F) or
the transmission fluid cooler when the temperature is above 80°C-93°C (176°F-200°F).

Return transmission fluid from tal bypass valve or the transmission fluid cooler supplies transaxle lubrication
through the LUBE circuit which runs through the input shaft.

For lubrication passage location and description, refer to Mechanical Components and Functions in this
section.

The position of the TCC control valve is controlled by pressure from the TCC solenoid through the VBS TCC
circuit. The TCC solenoid is controlled by the PCM.

Hydraulic Circuits 3562


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

When the TCC clutch is applied, the TCC solenoid applies pressure to the TCC control and regulator valves to
position the valves to apply the TCC clutch. Regulated line pressure is supplied to the TCC control valve
through the REG APPLY circuit by the TCC regulator valve. The TCC control valve directs the regulated line
pressure from the REG APPLY circuit to the TCC APPLY circuit to apply the TCC . The TCC control valve
blocks the TCC RELEASE circuit to maintain pressure in the TCC APPLY circuit. The TCC control valve
directs the CONV FD circuit to the COOLER FD circuit to allow the transmission fluid to flow through the
thermal bypass valve or the transmission fluid cooler to the LUBE circuit to lubricate the transaxle.

Solenoid Hydraulic Circuits

Line pressure from the main pressure regulator valve is directed to the individual shift, TCC and LPC
solenoids by the solenoid regulator valve through the SOL FD circuit. The solenoids, controlled by the PCM,
direct the fluid to the valves that they control.

The LPC solenoid applies varying pressure to the main pressure regulator valve to control line pressure.

In the PARK and NEUTRAL positions, Shift Solenoid D (SSD) applies varying pressure to the low
reverse/456 regulator and latch valves through the VBS CBR1/456 hydraulic circuit to position the valves to
apply the low/reverse clutch. ON/OFF Shift Solenoid E (SSE) directs pressure to the clutch control bypass
valve to position the valve to direct regulated line pressure from the low reverse/456 regulator valve to the
low/reverse clutch.

Hydraulic Circuits 3563

In the REVERSE position, SSD applies varying pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves
through the VBS CBR1/456 hydraulic circuit to position the valves to apply the low/reverse clutch. ON/OFF
SSE directs pressure to the clutch control bypass valve to position the valve to direct regulated line pressure
from the low reverse/456 regulator valve to the low/reverse clutch. The clutch control bypass valve also
directs line pressure from the REVERSE circuit to the 35R regulator valve through the C35R FD and DRIVE
2/C35R FD circuits. Shift Solenoid B (SSB) directs varying pressure to the 35R regulator and latch valves
through the VBS C35R hydraulic circuit to apply the direct (3, 5, R) clutch.

In 1st gear, Shift Solenoid A (SSA) applies varying pressure to the 1234 clutch regulator and latch valves
through the VBS C1234 hydraulic circuit to apply the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch.

When vehicle speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph), or the selector lever is in the manual low position, SSD applies
varying pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves through the VBS CBR1/456 hydraulic
circuit to position the valves to apply the low/reverse clutch. ON/OFF SSE directs pressure to the clutch
control bypass valve to position the valve to direct regulated line pressure from the low reverse/456 regulator
valve to the low/reverse clutch. As vehicle speed increases above 8 km/h (5 mph) in 1st gear, SSD removes
pressure from the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves and SSE removes pressure from the clutch
control bypass valve to release the low/reverse clutch.

The TCC can be applied in 4th, 5th or 6th gear. To apply the TCC , the TCC solenoid applies pressure to the
TCC regulator valve and the TCC control valve to position the valves to apply the clutch.

During a mechanical, hydraulic or electrical failure with the manual lever in the DRIVE position, the transaxle
defaults to 5th gear. When the transaxle is in 5th gear failsafe, the PCM does not control the shift solenoids
and they default to their normal state (maximum pressure, minimum pressure, on or off). The LPC solenoid
defaults to maximum pressure, SSA defaults to minimum pressure, SSB defaults to maximum pressure, SSC
defaults to minimum pressure, SSD defaults to maximum pressure and the TCC solenoid defaults to minimum
pressure.

With SSB applying maximum pressure to the direct (3, 5, R) regulator and latch valves, the direct (3, 5, R)
clutch is applied. With SSD applying maximum pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves
with SSE in the OFF position, the O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch is applied, providing 5th gear.

latch valves. As the regulator valve moves, it supplies the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch and 1234 latch valve with
regulated line pressure through the C1234 circuit. The 1234 latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to
the opposite side of the 1234 regulator valve through the C1234 FDBK circuit for gradual forward (1, 2, 3, 4)
clutch engagement. The forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch is applied in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears and manual LOW
position.

Hydraulic Circuits 3567


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

When the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch is released in 5th and 6th gears, solenoid pressure from SSA is removed
from the 1234 regulator and latch valves which positions the valves to block line pressure and release the
forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch. When the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch is released in the PARK, REVERSE or
NEUTRAL position, line pressure is not supplied to the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) regulator valve.

In the released position, exhaust backfill supplied to the 1234 regulator and latch valves by the manual valve

line pressure through the C35R circuit. The 35R latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite
side of the 35R regulator valve through the C35R FDBK circuit for gradual direct (3, 5, R) clutch
engagement.

the COMP FD circuit and is supplied to the opposite side of the direct (3, 5, R) and O/D (4, 5, 6) clutch
pistons to keep the clutches from centrifugally applying. COMP FD pressure is only about 83 kPa (12 psi) and
is applied through all gears. When the direct (3, 5, R) clutch is released, COMP FD is applied by the 35R
regulator valve to the direct (3, 5, R) clutch to fill the unused circuits.

reverse/456 latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the 456 regulator valve
through the CBR1/C456 FDBK circuit for gradual low reverse/456 clutch engagement. The low/reverse clutch
is applied in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, 1st gear below 8 km/h (5 mph) and manual LOW position.

SECTION 307-01B: Automatic 2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid
Transaxle/Transmission - 6F35 Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Transaxle Electronic Control System

Electronic System Description

The PCM and its input/output network control the following operations:

• Shift timing
• Line pressure (shift feel)
• Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)

The transaxle control is separate from the engine control strategy in the PCM, although some of the input
signals are shared. When determining the best operating strategy for transaxle operation, the PCM uses input
information from certain engine-related and driver-demand related sensors and switches.

In addition, the PCM receives input signals from certain transaxle-related sensors and switches. The PCM also
uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy.

Using all of these input signals, the PCM can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or
when to apply or release the TCC . It will also determine the best line pressure needed to optimihift
engagement feel. To accomplish this, the PCM uses output solenoids to control transaxle operation.

The following provides a brief description of each of the sensors and actuators used to control transaxle
operation.

Electronic Ignition (EI)

The Electronic Ignition (EI) system consists of the PCM, a Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and ignition
coils. The CKP sensor sends a crankshaft position signal to the PCM. The PCM then sends the appropriate
ignition signal to the ignition coils. The PCM also uses this signal as well as Wide Open Throttle (WOT) shift
control, TCC control and electronic pressure control.

Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)

The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal. The APP detects the
position of the accelerator pedal and inputs this information as a voltage to the PCM. The PCM uses APP
sensor information to aid in determining line pressure, shift scheduling and TCC operation. Failure of this
sensor will cause the transmission to operate at higher line pressure to avoid damage to the transmission. This
higher line pressure causes harsh upshifts and harsh engagements.

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer mounted on the Throttle Body (TB). The TP sensor
detects the position of the throttle plate and sends this information to the processor assembly as varying
voltage signal.

Transaxle Electronic Control System 3575


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
The PCM uses the monitored voltage level of the TP sensor for control of Line Pressure Control (LPC), TCC
operation and shift scheduling.

If a malfunction occurs in the TP sensor circuit, the processor will recognize that the TP sensor signal is out of
specification. The processor will then operate the transaxle in a high capacity mode to prevent transaxle
damage.

PCM

The PCM controls operation of the transaxle. Many input sensors provide information to the PCM. The PCM
then controls the actuators which affect transaxle operation.

Transmission Range (TR) Sensor Assembly

The Transmission Range (TR) sensor assembly is an internally mounted sensor that includes the detent
bracket and is located above the main control assembly. The components of the TR sensor are factory adjusted
and is installed as a calibrated assembly. The TR sensor contains electronic circuitry that provides the PCM a
fixed frequency duty cycle for each of the various positions of the manual lever (PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, DRIVE and LOW to the PCM). The PCM uses the TR sensor signal for engine start, reverse
lamps, LPC , shift scheduling and TCC operation.

Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch

The Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch tells the PCM when the brakes are applied. The BPP switch closes
when the brakes are applied and opens when they are released. The BPP signal is used for the brake shift
interlock actuation.

Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor

This Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup that sends a signal to the PCM that indicates
transaxle turbine shaft input speed. The TSS sensor provides converter turbine speed information for TCC
strategy. Also used in determining static LPC pressure settings.

Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor

The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is a Hall-effect pickup, located on the transfer shaft drive gear, that
sends a signal to the PCM to indicate transmission output speed. The OSS is used for TCC control and shift
scheduling.

Solenoid Body

NOTICE: If the solenoid body identification and strategy does not match the solenoid body information
in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), transaxle damage or driveability concerns can occur.

The solenoid body contains 7 solenoids, 5 shift solenoids (Shift Solenoid A (SSA), Shift Solenoid B (SSB),
Shift Solenoid C (SSC), Shift Solenoid D (SSD) and Shift Solenoid E (SSE)), TCC solenoid and LPC
solenoid. The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) is also located in the solenoid body. The solenoid body
is serviced as an assembly.

Transaxle Electronic Control System 3576


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The solenoid body has a unique strategy data file that must be downloaded to the PCM. There is a 7-digit
solenoid body identification and a 13-digit solenoid body strategy for each solenoid body. Any time a new
solenoid body is installed or a new transaxle is installed, the scan tool must be used to get the solenoid body
strategy data file and download it into the PCM.

If the PCM is replaced, the solenoid body identification and solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into
the PCM.

Line Pressure Control (LPC) Solenoid

The LPC solenoid is a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) that varies hydraulic pressure by actuating a hydraulic
valve.

The PCM applies variable current to the LPC solenoid which varies pressure in the VBS LINE hydraulic
circuit to the main pressure regulator valve. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits for additional information.

The LPC solenoid uses inversely proportional operation. As the current from the PCM decreases, the pressure
from the solenoid increases. As the current from the PCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid decreases.
The LPC solenoid is supplied hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit.

With zero current, the LPC solenoid fully opens the hydraulic valve which applies the maximum amount of
hydraulic pressure to the Main Pressure Regulator Valve through the VBS LINE hydraulic circuit and applies
maximum line pressure in the LINE hydraulic circuit. With maximum current to the solenoid, the hydraulic
valve fully closes the outlet port for minimum pressure to the VBS LINE hydraulic circuit to lower the line
pressure in the LINE hydraulic circuit.

Line Pressure Control (LPC) Inversely Proportional Variable Force Solenoid (VFS)

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid

The TCC solenoid is a VFS that varies hydraulic pressure by actuating a hydraulic valve.

Line Pressure Control (LPC) Inversely Proportional Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) 3577
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
The PCM applies variable current to the TCC solenoid which varies pressure in the VBS TCC hydraulic
circuit to the TCC regulator valve and the TCC control valve. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits for additional
information.

The TCC solenoid uses proportional operation. As the current from the PCM decreases, the pressure from the
solenoid decreases. As the current from the PCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid increases. The
TCC solenoid is supplied hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit.

With zero current, the TCC solenoid fully closes the hydraulic valve which applies the minimum amount of
hydraulic pressure to the TCC regulator valve through the VBS TCC hydraulic circuit and releases the TCC .

Shift Solenoid A (SSA), Shift Solenoid B (SSB), Shift Solenoid C (SSC) and Shift Solenoid D (SSD)

Shift solenoids A-D are variable force type solenoids that vary hydraulic pressure by actuating a hydraulic
valve.

The PCM applies variable current to the shift solenoids which varies pressure in the hydraulic circuit to the
regulator and latch valves of the clutch that it controls. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits for additional information.

SSA and SSC use proportional operation. As the current from the PCM decreases, the pressure from the
solenoid decreases. As the current from the PCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid increases. SSA and
SSC are supplied hydraulic pressure from the SOL FD circuit.

With zero current, SSA and SSC fully close the hydraulic valves which applies zero amount of hydraulic
pressure to the clutch regulator and latch valves of the clutch that it controls and releases the clutch. With
maximum current to the solenoids, the hydraulic valves are fully open for maximum pressure to the clutch
regulator and latch valves to apply the clutch.

Hydraulic Operation

Line pressure hydraulic circuits:

• Line pressure from the pump is supplied to the main pressure regulator valve, low reverse/456
regulator valve, manual valve, solenoid regulator valve and control pressure regulator.
• Line pressure is controlled by the position of the main pressure regulator valve.
• The position of the main pressure regulator valve is controlled by varying pressure from the LPC
solenoid through the VBS LINE circuit.

Torque converter circuits:

• Regulated line pressure from the main pressure regulator valve is directed to the TCC control valve
through the CONV FD hydraulic circuit.
• When the TCC is released, CONV FD pressure is directed to the TCC RELEASE circuit by the TCC
control valve. Pressure from the TCC RELEASE circuit releases the TCC .
• Fluid from the TCC RELEASE returns to the TCC control valve through the TCC APPLY circuit.

Cooler and lubrication hydraulic circuits:

• The TCC control valve directs fluid from the TCC APPLY circuit (return circuit from the torque
converter when the TCC is released) to the COOLER FD circuit.
• In the COOLER FD circuit, transmission fluid flows through the transmission fluid cooler or the
thermal bypass valve to the LUBE circuit in the input shaft to supply lubrication to the transaxle.

Solenoid hydraulic circuits:

• The LPC solenoid applies varying pressure to the main pressure regulator valve through the VBS
LINE hydraulic circuit. The LPC solenoid regulates line pressure by controlling the position of the
main pressure regulator valve.
• SSD applies pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch valves to apply the low/reverse
clutch.
• SSE applies pressure to the clutch control bypass valve to position the valve to direct regulated line
pressure in the CBR1/C456 circuit to the low/reverse clutch.

Clutch hydraulic circuits:

• Line pressure from the pump is supplied to the low reverse/456 regulator valve. To apply the
low/reverse clutch, SSD supplies varying solenoid pressure to the low reverse/456 regulator and latch
valves. As the low reverse/456 regulator valve moves, it supplies the clutch control bypass valve and
low reverse/456 latch valve with regulated line pressure through the CBR1/C456 circuit. The latch
valve directs the regulated line pressure to the opposite side of the regulator valve through the
CBR1/C456 FDBK circuit for gradual low/reverse clutch engagement.

When the transaxle has an electrical, hydraulic or mechanical failure, the PCM removes ground (control) from
the shift, TCC and LPC solenoids. The uncontrolled solenoids default to their normal states. SSB , SSD and
the LPC solenoid are normally high solenoids which means in their normal state, they provide high pressure

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Diagnostic Strategy

Troubleshooting an electronically controlled automatic transmission 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.

NOTE: Do not take shortcuts or assume that critical checks or adjustments have already been made.

Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps.

To correctly diagnose a concern, have the following publications available:

• Transmission reference manual


• Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual
• TSBs
• Wiring diagrams manual

These publications provide the information required when diagnosing transmission concerns.

Use the Diagnostic Flow C as a guide and follow the steps as indicated.

Preliminary Inspection

• Know and understand the customer 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 OBD test procedures, KOEO and KOER self-tests.


• Record all DTCs.
• Repair all non-transmission codes first.
• Repair all transmission codes second.
• Clear all continuous codes and attempt to repeat them.
• Repair all continuous codes.
• If only pass codes are obtained, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom for further information and diagnosis.

Follow the diagnostic sequence to diagnose and repair the concern the first time.

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


• Hot or cold ambient temperature
• Vehicle driving conditili>
• Vehicle loaded/unloaded

After understanding when and how the concern occurs, proceed to verifying the concern.

Verification of Condition

This section provides information which is used in determining the actual cause of customer concern 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. The torque converter not disengaging may
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

Preliminary Inspection 3629


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
• Engagement
• Noise/vibration - check for engine rpm , vehicle speed, shift, gear, range or temperature dependencies.

Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition

NOTICE: Do not drive the vehicle if the transmission fluid level indicator shows the transmission fluid
is 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 may need 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 crosshatch area.

Transmission Fluid Level Check NOTE: Transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating
temperature 85°C-93°C (185°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.

Check the transmission fluid level during normal maintenance. If the transaxle starts to slip, shifts slowly or
shows signs of leaking, the transmission fluid level should be checked.

1. With the selector lever in PARK, engine at idle, brake pedal applied, move the selector lever through
each gear range 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.

5. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator. The transmission fluid level should be within the
crosshatch area.

High Transmission Fluid Level

Preliminary Inspection 3630


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

High transmission fluid level 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 in this section.

Low Transmission Fluid Level

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

NOTICE: The use of any type of transmission fluid other 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 with the selector lever in PARK and the engine idling. Do not overfill the
transmission. For transmission fluid type, refer to Material chart in this section.

Flat Tow Fluid Level

Recreati flat towing of the vehicle may require the transmission fluid to be set to a lower fluid level. This will
prevent damage to the transmission. The transmission fluid level is within the normal operating range and will
not require the transmission fluid level to be readjusted after recreational towing.

Transmission Fluid Condition Check

1. Check the transmission fluid level.

2. 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.

3. Observe the color and the odor. Under normal circumstances, the color should be dark red, not brown
or black or have a burnt odor.

4. If evidence of solid material is found, remove the transmission fluid pan for further inspection.

5. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant or water in the transaxle. Inspect the
engine cooling system at this time.

6. If transmission fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the


transmission fluid, disassemble and thoroughly clean the transaxle, including the torque converter,
cooler bypass valve, coolers and cooler tubes.

7. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.

Water in Transmission Fluid

To correctly repair a transaxle that 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

Preliminary Inspection 3631


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
• Torque converter
• All parts with bonded seals
• All solenoids
• All transmission fluid filters

Output State Control (OSC) Mode

Special Tool(s)

Vehicle Communication Module (VCM)


and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)
software with appropriate hardware, or
equivalent scan tool

Description

Output state control allows a diagnostic scan tool direct control of specific transmissiomponents or functions.
Output state control allows the technician to control the main functions or components of the transmission to
help the technician diagnose the transmission quickly and easily. 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 TCC to engage or disengage, or to keep the converter clutch from engaging at all. Output state control
may be used to help carry out solenoid electrical pinpoint tests by turning a solenoid off or on by controlling
the actual current to the VFS solenoid.

Procedure

NOTE: Retrieve Continuous Codes and carry out a KOEO and KOER On-Demand Self Test before using any
output state control. Any DTCs related to the TR sensor, the OSS sensor or the TSS sensor must be fixed or
the TCM will not allow the output state control to operate.

Output state control is used to test various transmission components and functions when the vehicle is 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 describes which transmission 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 ignition is in the ON position and the selector lever 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 transmission components may be controlled using output
state control in vehicle state No. 1.

• SSA_AMP - Controls the current to SSA , VFS


• SSB_AMP - Controls the current to SSB , VFS
• SSC_AMP - Controls the current to SSC , VFS SSD_AMP - Controls the current to SSD , VFS
• SSE - Directs TCM to command SSE OFF or ON
• LPC_AMP - Controls the current to the LPC VFS
• TCC_AMP - Controls the current to the TCC VFS

The vehicle requirements must be met when sending an output state control value to control each component
such as the solenoids stated above. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output state

Output State Control (OSC) Mode 3647


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
control value, an error message may appear. When an 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 TCM . Use the scan tool to monitor
the PID that corresponds to each output state control function or component to determine if the TCM is using
the output state control value or normal control.

Output state control may be cancelled at any time, to return the TCM 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 selector lever 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 transmission 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 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 an 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 TCM . Use the scan tool to monitor
the PID that corresponds to each output state control function or component to determine if the TCM is using
the output state control value or normal control.

Output state control may be cancelled at any time, to return the TCM to normal control for a specific output
state control function or component. See instructions for specific scan tool.

Output state control values for SSA_AMP, SSB_AMP, SSC_AMP, SSD_AMP, LPC_AMP and TCC_AMP
to control the current on the VFS solenoids are between zero (0) and one (1) amp. The following are
examples.

• 0 - Commands TCM to control current to zero amps


• 0.25 - Commands TCM to control current to 1/4 amp or 250 milliamps
• 0.50 - Commands TCM to control current to 1/2 amp or 500 milliamps
• 0.75 - Commands TCM to control current to 3/4 amp or 750 milliamps
• 1 - Commands TCM to control current to 1 amp or 1,000 milliamps

Output state control aids in testing the electronic functions of the TCM , VFS solenoid and associated
circuitry. Output state control allows the technician to control the TCM commanded current of the VFS
solenoids 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

Output State Control (OSC) Mode 3648


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
actual voltage. Shifting the transmission through the various gears tests the mechanical operation of the VFS
solenoids. When using output state 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 TCM to control line pressure to 414 kPa (60 psi)
• 100 psi - Commands TCM to control line pressure to 689 kPa (100 psi)
• 150 psi - Commands TCM to control line pressure to 965 kPa (150 psi)
• 200 psi - Commands TCM to control line pressure to 1,517 kPa (200 psi)

NOTICE: Do NOT command line pressure LOWER then 414 kPa (60 psi) or HIGHER then 1,931 kPa
(280 psi) or damage to the transmission can occur.

Output state control allows the technician to control the TCM 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 TCM 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.h transmission
function has a unique set of vehicle operating requirements that the technician is required to meet before the
TCM will allow output state control.

• TCC_OSC - Commands the TCM to engage or disengage the TCC


• GEAR_OSC - Commands the TCM 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 an 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 is cancelled by the TCM . Use the scan tool to monitor the
PID that corresponds to each output state control function or component to determine if the TCM is using the
outpte control value or normal control.

Output state control may be cancelled at any time, to return the TCM to normal control for a specific output
state control function or component. See instructions for specific scan tool.

Drive Test - Torque Converter Clutch Control

The output state control values for TCC_OSC to engage or disengage the TCC are as follows:

• 0 - TCM in normal control of TCC and output state control is cancelled

Output State Control (OSC) Mode 3649


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

• 1 or OFF - Commands TCM to keep the torque converter clutch from engaging
• 2 or ON - Commands TCM to engage the TCC using a normal ramp rate
• 3 or ON - Commands TCM 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 transmission 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, transmission in 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear, transmission 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 transmission gear changes are as follows:

• 0 - TCM in normal shift control and output state control is cancelled


• 1 - Commands TCM to shift to 1st gear - no engine braking
• 2 - Commands TCM to shift to 2nd gear - with engine braking
• 3 - Commands TCM to shift to 3rd gear - with engine braking
• 4 - Commands TCM to shift to 4th gear - with engine braking
• 5 - Commands TCM to shift to 5th gear - with engine braking
• 6 - Commands TCM to shift to 6th gear - with engine braking

Controlling the gear changes will assist the technician in testing the various clutches and whether the
transmission is slipping in any particular gear. Output state control will command the TCM 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 conor 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

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

Output State Control (OSC) Mode 3650


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
• 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 harsh engagements and upshifts are as follows:

• 0 or OFF - TCM in normal pressure control for shifts and engagements and output state control is
cancelled
• 1 or ON - Commands TCM to moderately increase hydraulic pressure during engagements and
upshifts

Setting HRSH_SFT to 1 or ON allows the tn 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 harsh). Using output state control to
control HRSH_SHFT [1 or ON] should make a softer engagement or shift more normal and an already normal
shift or engagement harsher 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 TCM 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 transmission.

The following is a list of output state control parameters and their corresponding PIDs:

NOTE: Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.

After carrying out the self-test, use the followinansmission Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes:

NOTE: The Transmission Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions must occur 4 times
consecutively for the shift error DTC to be set. Torque converter failures must occur 5 times consecutively for
a continuous DTC to be set.

NOTE: When carrying out the Transmission Drive Cycle Test, see the Solenoid Operation Chart for correct
solenoid operation. Refer to Pinpoint Tests - OSC Equipped Vehicle .

1. Record then clear self-test DTCs.

2. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.

3. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.

4. With transmission in DRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the
transmission to shift into 6th gear. Hold speed and throttle opening steady for a minimum of 15
seconds.

5. With transmission in 6th gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and
release the brake to operate the stoplamps. 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 the self-test and record continuous codes.

• If DTCs are present, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts . Service all non-transmission
DTCs first as they can directly affect the operation of the transmission. Repeat the self-test and road
test the vehicle to verify the correction. Clear the DTCs, carry out drive cycle and repeat the self-test
after completing service on the DTCs.
• If the self-test passes and a concern is still present, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom . Check TSBs for
diagnostic concern.

After OBD

Transaxle Drive Cycle Test 3655


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, TCM and non-transmission sensors may affect transmission operations.
Service these concerns first.

After the OBD procedures are complete, service all DTCs.

Begin with non-transmission related DTCs, then service any transmission related DTCs. Refer to the
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for information on condition and symptoms. This chart is helpful
referring to the correct manual(s) and to aid in diagnosing internal transmission concerns and external
non-transmission inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing electrical concerns of the transmission.
Make sure the vehicle wiring harness and TCM are diagnosed as well. Refer to the Powertrain
Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for diagnosing non-transmission electronic components. The
diagnostic routine hydraulic/mechanical charts will help in diagnosing internal transmission concerns and
external non-transmission inputs.

Before Pinpoint Tests

NOTE: Prior to entering pinpoint tests, check the TCM wiring harness for correct connections, bent or broken
terminals, corrosion, loose wires, correct routing, correct seals and their condition. Check the TCM , sensors
and actuators for damage. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.

NOTE: If a concern exists after the electrical diagnosis has been carried out, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom .

If DTCs appear while carrying out the OBD test, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for the
appropriate repair procedure. Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to TSBs for transmission concerns.

NOTICE: Do not try to stop the fly increasing the torque beyond specifications. This may cause damage
to the case threads.

Leaks at the transaxle main control cover-to-transaxle often can be stopped by tightening the attaching bolts to
12 Nm (106 lb-in). If necessary, remove the main control cover and inspect for damage. Refer to Main
Control Cover in this section.

Check the transmission fluid filler tube connection at the transmission case. If leakage is found here, install a
new grommet.

Check transmission fluid tubes and fittings between the transmission and the cooler in the radiator tank for
wear or damage. When transmission fluid is found leaking between the case and the transmission fluid cooler
tube fitting, check for a missing or damaged O-ring, then tighten the fitting to specification.

If the leak continues, install a new transmission fluid cooler tube fitting and tighten to specification. The same
procedure should be followed for transmission fluid leaks between the radiator cooler and the transmission
fluid cooler tube fittings. Refer to Section 307-02A .

Check the engine coolant in the radiator. If 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 transmission
fluid cooler tubes from 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 at the exterior of the transmission fluid
cooler tank. If the cooler is leaking and/or will not hold pressure, install a new cooler.

If transmission fluid leakage is found at the transaxle range selector lever, install a new seal.

If transmission fluid leakage is found at the transaxle internal harness connector, install a new O-ring.

Leakage Inspection 3741


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Fluid Leakage in Torque Converter Area

Diagnosing and correcting fluid leaks in the torque converter area, use the following procedures to locate the
exact cause of the leakage. Leaks 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 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.

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 ID 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 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.

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.

Leakage Inspection 3742


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
3. Wash 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-dry all
washed areas with compressed air.

4. Using the scan tool, 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 low 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

NOTE: Use Dye-Lite® ATF/Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye to detect a transmission fluid leak.

1. Add dye to the transmission fluid. Use one 30 ml (1 oz) bottle of dye solution for every 3.8L (4 qt) of
transmission fluid.

2. Using the scan tool, start and run the engine until the transaxle reaches its normal operating
temperature. Using a suitable tool, 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 low 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
theprobable source of leakage can be determined.

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 Section 307-05A for selector lever linkage
and selector lever cable adjustment and refer to Special Testing Procedures in this section for line pressure
test. The transmission fluid must be above 85°C (185°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 85°C
(185°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 Section 100-02 .

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.

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 cote.

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 Section 307-02A .

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
06/03/2011

Transaxle Description

Transaxle Components

The Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) has the following internal
components:

• Traction motor
• Generator
• Planetary gearset

Range Selection

Park

With the range selector in PARK:

• the parking pawl locks the output shaft to the case.


• the ignition key can be removed.
• the ignition switch can be cycled from OFF to START or RUN. The ready indicator l will illuminate
on the Instrument Cluster (IC) when the ignition switch is cycled to the START postion.

The ready indicator light is located on the lower right hand corner of the IC .

Ready Indicator Light

Reverse

With the range selector in REVERSE:

• the vehicle may be operated in a rearward direction.

Transaxle Description 4094


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

• reversing lamps are illuminated.


• if the ready indicator light is not illuminated, which lights when the ignition switch is cycled to the
START position, there is no reverse gear engagement.

Neutral

With the range selector in NEUTRAL:

• no power flows through the transmission.


• the output shaft is disengaged from the drive wheels.

Drive

The range selector DRIVE position provides:

• low speed driving.


• acceleration.
• cruise conditions.
• deceleration.
• maximum fuel economy during normal operation.

If the ready indicator light is not illuminated, which lights when the ignition switch is cycled to the START
position, there is no forward gear engagement.

Low

The range selector LOW position provides:

• engine braking.
• improved traction on slippery roads.

If the ready indicator light is not illuminated, which lights when the ignition switch is cycled to the START
position, there is no forward gear engagement.

Brake Shift Interlock System

The brake shift interlock system prevents a shift out of PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The brake
shift interlock system has a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) mounted on the floor selector lever
assembly. If the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the BSIA is continually on unless the brake pedal is
depressed.

External Controls

The external control of the eCVT is mechanically controlled by a selector lever cable connected to the floor
selector lever. The floor selector lever position determines PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE and low
modes.

Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS)

The vehicle uses a pump driven cooling system, referred to as the Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS)
pump, to transfer heat generated by the eCVT and the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) DC/DC converter to the
atmosphere. The system uses a coolant-to-air radiator design.

Ready Indicator Light 4095


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
The MECS pump is an electric pump that runs any time the ignition is in the ON position. Unlike traditional
cooling systems, there is no thermostat in the MECS , so coolant flow should be continuous and considerably
less than traditional powertrain cooling systems.

The flow direction is from the DC/DC converter to the MECS pump through the eCVT , then through the
MECS cooler from the LH to RH side of the vehicle back to the DC/DC converter.

The MECS cooling pump will make an audible noise if it is running and a slight vibration may be felt by
touch.

The MECS cooling system has a coolant expansion tank mounted on top of the transaxle.

Symptom Chart

Symptom Chart
NOTE: NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools that are available. For a list of these
tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to Section 100-04 . 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 pinpoihe responsible system. If this is not the causal system for the
symptom, refer to Section 100-04 for the next likely system and continue diagnosis.

ConditionPossible SourcesAction

• Clunk - occurs when shifting from PARK to a DRIVE or REVERSE position

• Damaged transmission insulators

• INSPECT the transmission insulators for damage. INSTALL new insulators as necessary. REFER to

ConditionPossible SourcesAction

• Vibration - a high frequency (20-80 Hz) that is felt through the seat or selector lever. Changes with
engine speed

• Transmission fluid cooler tubes grounded

• CHECK the transmission fluid cooler tubes. REPAIR as necessary.

Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition

NOTICE: The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level indicator shows the
transmission fluid below the minimum fluid level mark or internal failure may 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 may need 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

NOTE: The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating temperature 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°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 fluid indicator tube until it is fully seated, then
remove the indicator. The transmission fluid level should be within the normal operating range.

3 - Do not drive mark
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 Section 307-01A .

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

NOTICE: 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
indicator tube. Do not overfill the transaxle. For transmission fluid type, refer to the specification chart in this
section.

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 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 bottom of
the fluid pan, install a new transaxle. If installing a new transaxle, the transmission fluid cooler and
transmission fluid cooler tubes should be cleaned.

7. If the transaxle is to be overhauled or if installing a new transaxle, the fluid cooler must be
backflushed. Refer to Section 307-01A .

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Transaxle Cooling

Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS)

The vehicle uses a pump driven cooling system, referred to as the Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS)
pump, to transfer heat generated by the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission
(eCVT) and the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) DC/DC converter to the atmosphere. The system uses a
coolant-to-air radiator design.

The MECS pump is an electric pump that runs any time the ignition is in the ON position. Unlike traditional
cooling systems, there is no thermostat in the MECS , so coolant flow should be continuous and considerably
less than traditional powertrain cooling systems.

The flow direction is from the DC/DC converter to the MECS pump through the eCVT , then through the
MECS cooler from the LH to RH side of the vehicle back to the DC/DC converter.

The MECS cooling pump will make an audible noise if it is running and a slight vibration may be felt by
touch.

The MECS cooling system has a coolant expansion tank mounted on top of the transaxle.

6. Install the underbody cover and the screws.

Filling and Bleeding

NOTICE: 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:

• Vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Green Engine Coolant or Motorcraft®
Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Always fill the cooling system with the same coolant that is present
in the system. Do not mix coolant types.
• 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 since a
Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.
• Used engine coolant should be disposed of in an appropriate manner. Follow community regulations
and standards for recycling and disposing of automotive fluids.

1. NOTICE: Adhesives, stop-leak pellets or small foreign material in the Motor Electronics
Cooling System (MECS) can cause poor performance or temporary blockage of the motor
electronics pump. Only use clean, approved coolant when filling the system.

Loosen the Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS) bleed screw on the DC/DC converter and
slowly fill the coolant expansion tank with coolant until it begins to flow out of the bleed hole. Then,
close the bleed screw.

• Tighten to 3 Nm (27 lb-in).

2. Turn the ignition to the ON position to actuate the MECS coolant pump and continue to fill the
coolant expansion tank to the FULL COLD level labeled on the side of the tank.

3. To bleed air from the MECS , turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Loosen the MECS bleed
screw on the DC/DC converter and allow air to escape the MECS .

The transaxle selector lever control linkage consists of:

• a selector lever cable that connects the transaxle range selector lever to the selector lever assembly.
• a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) that is integral to the selector lever assembly.

The selector lever assembly:

• locks the transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the lock
position.
• requires the transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the
lock position.

Transmission Control Switch (TCS)-2.5L

Vehicles equipped with a Transmission Control Switch (TCS) have a momentary contact switch located on
the selector lever knob that allows the driver to cancel the operation of Overdrive (O/D) and provides grade
assist.

Grade Assist

• Improves vehicle handling in hilly terrain or mountainous areas by providing additional engine
braking and extends lower gear operation on uphill climbs.
• Additional engine braking is provided through the automatic transaxle shift strategy which reacts to
vehicle inputs including 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 and grade assist is cancelled when the TCS is pressed again.

Range Selection-SelectShiftTM

The H-gate selector lever has 5 fixed range positions: P, R, N, D, M and 2 spring-loaded manual positions (-)

NOTE: NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools that are available. For a list of
these tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to Section 100-04 .
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 Section 100-04 for the next likely system and
continue diagnosis.

ConditionPossible SourcesAction

• Vibration - a high frequency (20-80 Hz) that is felt through the seat or selector lever. Changes
with engine speed
• Selector lever cable incorrectly routed, grounded out or loose
• CHECK the selector lever cable. REPAIR as necessary.

Brake Shift Interlock System

The brake shift interlock system prevents a shift out of PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The brake
shift interlock system has a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) mounted on the selector lever assembly. If
the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the BSIA will allow the selector lever to be moved out of PARK
only when the brake pedal is pressed.

External Controls

The external control of the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) is
mechanically controlled by a cable connected to the selector lever and electronically controlled by the TR
sensor (located on the transaxle). The selector lever position determines PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL,
DRIVE and LOW modes. For diagnosis, removal and installation of the TR sensor, refer to Section 307-01C .

General Information MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Manual Transaxle and Clutch

The transaxle and clutch system consist of the following:

• Six-speed manual transaxle


• Clutch disc
• Clutch pressure plate
• Clutch release hub and bearing
• Clutch hydraulic system
• Clutch pedal
• Flywheel
• Pilot bearing
• Shift controls

The function of the transaxle is to move the vehicle from a rest position to motion. The transaxle uses gears to
adapt the torque to the demands of load and road conditions. It matches engine power to vehicle needs. This
power is delivered from the engine's flywheel to the transaxle. The power is transmitted through a
driver-operated clutch, which allows for engagement and disengagement of the engine to the transaxle.

The transaxle input shaft receives the power when the clutch is engaged. The transaxle then uses a system of
gears to change the speed and torque relationship between the engine crankshaft and the transaxle differential.

The purpose of the clutch is to connect and dnnect a manually operated transaxle, and the halfshafts, from the
engine. This allows starting and stopping the vehicle, shifting and changing vehicle speeds that correspond to
the engine speed through gear changes.

The manual transmission has a tag to identify assemblies for repair purposes. Refer to Section 308-03 for the
transmission tag information.

Principles of Operation

The function of the transaxle is to move the vehicle from a rest position to motion. The transaxle uses gears to
adapt the torque to the demands of load and road conditions. It matches engine power to vehicle needs. This
power is delivered from the engine's flywheel to the transaxle. The power is transmitted through a
driver-operated clutch, which allows for engagement and disengagement of the engine to the transaxle.

The transaxle input shaft receives the power when the clutch is engaged. The transaxle then uses a system of
gears to change the speed and torque relationship between the engine crankshaft and the transaxle differential.

The clutch master cylinder trans hydraulic fluid pressure to the clutch slave cylinder, when the clutch pedal is
depressed, which in turn moves the clutch release hub and bearing. The clutch hydraulic system uses brake
fluid supplied from the brake master cylinder. The clutch is a single-plate, dry-friction disc with a
diaphragm-style spring pressure plate. The clutch disc has frictional material where it contacts the flywheel
and the clutch pressure plate. The clutch pressure plate applies pressure to the clutch disc, holding it tightly
against the surface of the flywheel.

In the engaged position, the clutch pressure plate diaphragm spring holds the clutch pressure plate against the
clutch disc, so that the engine torque is transmitted to the input shaft. When the clutch is depressed, movement
is transmitted through the clutch hydraulic system.

Inspection and Verification

NOTICE: If transaxle noise is reported, first check the manual transmission fluid level. The vehicle
should not be driven if the manual transmission fluid level is low or damage can occur.

NOTE: Before attempting to rectify any concerns, road test the vehicle to ascertain in which system the
concern falls.

NOTE: If any evaluation or inspection reveals an obvious concern, repair the vehicle.

The technician should have a thorough knowledge of transaxle/clutch operation and accepted general
transaxle/clutch guidelines to detect any problems.

A gear-driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at certain
speeds or under various driving conditions. Certain conditions, such as road and weather, will amplify normal
vehicle noise.

The following overview is a guide to diagnose a transaxle/clutch concern:

Manual Transaxle and Clutch 4260


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
• Verify and document the customer concern.
♦ During the customer interview, if a leak was noticed or if a leak is the concern, check the
manual transmission fluid. The vehicle should not be driven if the manual transmission fluid
level is low.
• Check the manual transmission fluid level and condition.
• Evaluation of the clutch hydraulic system.
• Evaluation of the clutch.
• Inspect gearshift mechanism.
• Road test.
• Find the cause of the problem and correct it.

Verify Customer Concern

1. Verify and document the customer concern.


1. When was it first noticed?
2. Did it appear suddenly or gradually?
3. Did anything unusual occur that would coincide with it or precede it?
4. Identify when the condition occurs:
♦ Hot or cold vehicle operating conditions
♦ Type of terrain
♦ City/highway driving
♦ Driving at a particular speed
♦ coasting
♦ hard acceleration
♦ Shifting
♦ upshifts
♦ downshifts
♦ in a particular gear
♦ in all gears
♦ Hot or cold ambient temperatures
5. Has the transaxle/clutch been repaired before or components installed?
♦ Check the vehicle service record. Note any repairs.

Check Manual Transmission Fluid Level and Condition

NOTE: The vehicle should not be driven if the manual transmission fluid level is low.

An incorrect manual transmission fluid level may affect the transaxle operation and can result in transaxle
damage. To correctly check and add manual transmission fluid to the transaxle, refer to transaxle draining and
filling in Section 308-03 .

A low manual transmission fluid level can result in poor transaxle shifting, engagement or damage. It can also
indicate a leak in one of the transaxle seals or gaskets.

1. Check the manual transmission fluid condition.


• Observe the color and the odor of the manual transmission fluid. Allow the manual
transmission fluid to drip onto a white cloth and examine the stain. Check the manual
transmission fluid for contamination or metal particles.
♦ Manual transmission fluid should appear nearly clear, similar to clean engine oil.

Evaluation of Clutch Hydraulic System

1. Verify that the brake/clutch hydraulic fluid reservoir is filled to the correct level.
• If the clutch hydraulic fluid level is correct, proceed to clutch check.

Manual Transaxle and Clutch 4261


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
• If the rear chamber hydraulic fluid level is low, add fluid as necessary. Check the clutch
hydraulic system for leaks and repair as necessary.

Evaluation of the Clutch

1. Depress and release the clutch pedal slowly to check if the pedal is binding. Make sure the clutch
pedal can be fully depressed and is not restricted by the floor mat. Verify that the pedal return spring
is present and functions correctly.

2. Measure the clutch reserve. With the engine idling, the parking brake on and the clutch pedal up,
gently move the gearshift lever toward reverse gear until gear clash can be heard. Depress the clutch
pedal slowly.
• If the gears cease to clash (full disengage at 25.4 to 38.1 mm (1 to 1.5 in) from the floor), then
hold the pedal at the point of disengagement and increase engine to 4,000 rpm. The clutch
should remain disengaged, clutch OK.
• Any concerns indicate a worn or damaged clutch. Repair as necessary.

3. With the engine idling, move the gearshift lever into 4th gear. Increase the rpm to 2,000 and slowly
release the clutch pedal.
• If the engine stalls, the clutch is OK.
• If the engine does not stall, the clutch is slipping. Repair as necessary.

4. Compare the clutch evaluation results with the following table. The following list of conditions are
typical faults into which clutch concerns will fall.

Inspect the Gearshift Mechanism

1. Inspect the cables for:


• signs of damage.
• broken locks.
• binding.
• cables not fully seated or in hold-down brackets.
• hold-down bracket nuts are loose.
• correct routing.
• correct adjustment.
♦ If the concern is a gear(s) cannot be selected, adjust the cables. Refer to Gearshift
Cable Adjustment in this section.

2. Inspect the gearshift for:


• free play in the gearshift lever (must be no more than 5 mm [0.196 in]). This specification is
for an absolute or "no load" free play.
♦ If the gearshift lever free play is too great, check the gearshift cables and repair as
necessary.
♦ If the gearshift lever free play is OK, adjust the gearshift linkage.

Evaluation of the Transmission

1. During the road test, use the following driving methods to diagnose the problem.
• Start the engine.
• Evaluate the noise in NEUTRAL while the vehicle is parked.
♦ Check whether the noise is present with the clutch fully disengaged (pedal fully
depressed). Check to see if the pedal pulsates abnormally (for clutch diaphragm
finger run out).
♦ Check whether the noise is present with the gearshift in the NEUTRAL position and

Manual Transaxle and Clutch 4262


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
the clutch fully engaged (foot off pedal). With the parking brake engaged, move the
gearshift towards the 1st gear position. Apply very slight pressure and note if the gear
noise level is reduced. (for gear rollover noise).
♦ With the clutch fully engaged (foot off pedal), check whether the noise is present as
the engine speed is raised. If the noise reduces, note the engine speed at which this
occurs.
• Listen for any change in noise while depressing and releasing the clutch pedal.
• Listen for any change in noise while changing the engine rpm.
• Drive the vehicle and shift through all of the gear ranges, including reverse. Listen for any
change in noise in a particular gear.
• Drive the vehicle in the gear in which the noise is most noticeable. Depress the clutch pedal
and leave the gear engaged. Listen for any change in noise.
• Drive the vehicle in the gear in which the noise is most noticeable. Depress the clutch pedal
and shift the transmission into NEUTRAL. Release the clutch pedal and allow the vehicle to
coast.

2. Compare the road test results with the following symptom charts. It is a list of conditions that are
typical faults into which the transaxle will fall:

Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test A: Clutch Pedal Pulsation

Normal Operation

Clutch pedal feel should be smooth when disengaging and engaging the clutch. Clutch pedal movement is
transmitted by hydraulic fluid pressure, which actuates the clutch release fork and bearing. The clutch release
fork and bearing pushes on the spring center towards the flywheel. The diaphragm spring pivots at the
fulcrum, relieving the load on the clutch pressure plate. Steel spring straps riveted in the clutch pressure plate
cover pull the clutch pressure plate from the clutch disc, disengaging the engine torque from the transmission.

Pinpoint Test D: Clutch System Leakage

Normal Operation

Clutch pedal movement is transmitted to the clutch by hydraulic fluid pressure from the master cylinder
reservoir through the hydraulic clutch tubes to the slave cylinder. This actuates the clutch release fork and
bearing. The clutch release fork and bearing pushes on the spring center towards the flywheel. The diaphragm
spring pivots at the fulcrum, relieving the load on the clutch pressure plate. Steel spring straps riveted in the
clutch pressure plate cover pull the clutch pressure plate from the clutch disc, disengaging the engine torque
from the transmission.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


• Clutch master cylinder
• Clutch slave cylinder
• Hydraulic tubes

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Clutch

The clutch system includes the following components:

• Flywheel
• Clutch disc
• Clutch pressure plate
• Clutch release fork
• Clutch release bearing
• Clutch slave cylinder

The clutch is a single-plate, dry-friction disc with a diaphragm-style spring clutch pressure plate. The clutch
disc has a hub which is splined to the transmission input shaft. The clutch disc has friction material where it
contacts the flywheel and the clutch pressure plate. The clutch pressure plate applies pressure to the clutch
disc, holding it tightly against the surface of the flywheel. In the engaged position, the diaphragm spring holds
the clutch pressure plate against the clutch disc, so that engine torque is transmitted to the input shaft.

When the clutch pedal is applied, the release bearing pushes the diaphragm spring center of the clutch
pressure plate toward the flywheel. The diaphragm spring pivots at the fulcrum, relieving the load on the
clutch pressure plate. The clutch slave cylinder assists in the effort it takes to relieve the load on the clutch
pressure plate. Steel spring straps riveted to the clutch pressure plate cover pull the clutch pressure plate from
the clutch disc, disengaging the engine torque from the transaxle.

Clutch Controls

The clutch controls system consists of the following components:

• Clutch pedal
• Clutch master cylinder
• Clutch slave cylinder
• Clutch hydraulic fluid tube
• Clutch release fork
• Clutch release bearing

When the clutch pedal is applied, the clutch master cylinder transmits hydraulic fluid pressure to the clutch
slave cylinder. The clutch slave cylinder and the clutch release fork transfer the clutch pedal motion to the
clutch release bearing. The release bearing presses against the pressure plate diaphragm spring, releasing the
clutch disc.

The clutch master cylinder uses brake fluid and shares a common reservoir with the brake master cylinder.

Transaxle/Transmission Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Manual Transaxle

Manual Transaxle

The G6M 6-speed manual transaxle features the following:

• Fully synchronized 6-speed transaxle


• Synchronized reverse gear
• Six forward speeds and one reverse speed
• An aluminum main case, clutch housing and structural cover

The function of the transmission is to move the vehicle from a rest position to motion. This is done by
transferring the engine torque, through the transaxle, to the front wheels. The transmission input shaft receives
power when the clutch is engaged. Torque flows through the input shaft to the drive gear. The forward gears
are selected by a synchronizer mechanism. The helical-cut forward gears are in constant mesh with the
corresponding gears on the opposing shaft. Reverse gears have helical-cut teeth and are engaged through the
reverse idler gear.

External Shift Linkage

The manual transaxle is controlled by a floor-mounted gearshift lever located in the floor console. Connection
between the floor-mounted gear shift lever and the manual transaxle gear shift control mechanism is made
through 2 shift cables. The clutch pedal disengages the clutch allowing the transaxle to be shifted from one
gear to another.

Internal Shift Linkage

The G6M manual transaxle is shifted internally by 4 shift forks. The reverse gear shift fork shifts in and out of
the reverse gear. The 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th and 5th/6th shift forks control all forward gear shifts.

Reverse Gear

The reverse idler gear is mounted on a reverse idler gear shaft supported at one end in the clutch housing and
at the other in the transaxle case by a reverse idler shaft lock bolt.

When the reverse idler gear slides on the reverse idler gear shaft, it engages the reverse drive gear on the input
shaft and the reverse gear on the output shaft. The driving gear is part of the input shaft and the reverse gear is
machined on the outside diameter of the 1st/2nd synchronizer sleeve.

When the reverse idler gear rotates on the reverse idler gear shaft, it reverses the power flow to the output
shaft.

To engage the reverse idler gear, the motion of the shift fork is transferred to the reverse gearshift lever
through the shift gate. The reverse gearshift lever is mounted on a meshlock plunger that allows it to act as a
fulcrum. When the reverse gearshift selector arm moves its end of the shift fork, the opposite end slides the
reverse idler gear into engagement with the input shaft and output shaft reverse gears.

Differential

Manual Transaxle 4316


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
The ends of the differential are supported on tapered roller differential bearings. The cups for these
differential bearings are seated in the transaxle case and the flywheel housing. Differential bearing preload is
set using a selective differential bearing shim that is installed under the differential bearing cup in the
transaxle case.

The differential includes the differential side gears and the shaft mounted differential pinion gears. Direct
contact between the gears and the differential case is prevented by the differential side gear thrust washers
installed under the gears. The differential pinion shaft is held in position by a differential pinion shaft lock pin
that extends through the end of the differential pinion shaft and the differential case.

The speedometer drive gear is also mounted on the differential case. It is located between the tapered roller
differential bearing and the differential case. A tab on the speedometer drive gear and a matching slot in the
differential case prevent the speedometer drive gear from spinning on the differential case.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

External Controls

The manual transaxle external controls consist of the following:

• Gearshift lever
• Gearshift lever knob and boot
• Gearshift cables

The manual transaxle is controlled by a floor-mounted gearshift lever located in the floor console. Connection
between the floor mounted gearshift lever and the manual transaxle gearshift control assembly is made
through 2 gearshift cables.

When the operator moves the floor mounted gearshift lever, that movement is transmitted through 2 gearshift
cables routed through the body to the transaxle. The 2 gearshift cables are attached to the transaxle at the
gearshift control assembly. The gearshift control assembly transfers the movement of the gearshift cables to
the shift rods and shift forks located inside the transaxle. Removal and installation of the gearshift cables
requires specific adjustments for correct shifting of the transaxle. For information regarding gearshift cable
adjustments, refer to Section 308-00 .

Systems Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Systems

The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system consists of the following:

• Power Transfer Unit (PTU)


• Rear driveshaft
• AWD relay module
• 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, also 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. When the
AWD system is functioning properly, there should be no perceived speed difference between the front and
rear axles when launching or driving the vehicle on any uniform surface. Traction should be similar to a part
time Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) system in 4H (4X4 HIGH), but have no binding in turns.

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 an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, also referred to as Active Torque Coupling
(ATC), that is always active and requires no driver input. The system has no Mode Select Switch (MSS).

Two transmissions are used with AWD . Vehicles with a 3.0L engine have the 6F35 transmission, controlled
by the PCM. Vehicles with the 3.5L engine use the Aisin AW21, which is controlled by a stand-alone
Transmission Control Module (TCM).

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.

AWD faults may be indicated in the message center by the wrench lamp as well as the CHECK AWD
message.

The system consists of a Power Transfer Unit (PTU), 4X4 control module, rear axle and a solenoid actuated
ATC device. Based on the amount of current sent to the clutch, the module varies the torque sent to the rear
wheels by sending a duty cycle to the ATC device, located inside the rear axle. For concerns with the PTU ,
refer to Section 308-07B .

The 4X4 control module also provides the brake system with its current clutch duty cycle and determines
whether or not the brake system may take command of the clutch duty cycle.

NOTE: The ATC solenoid is not repairable. If a new component is required, the ATC solenoid and rear axle
are installed as an assembly. Refer to Section 205-02 .

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 ATC
solenoid that delivers the desired torque to the rear wheels. Specific inputs to the 4X4 control module are:

Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Systems 4421


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

• Accelerator pedal position via the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
• Transaxle range from the TCM or 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 Modulation (PWM) signal) to the ATC 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 ATC
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 ATC
solenoid. Allow the system to cool down at least 10 minutes with the ignition switch in the ON position.

Inspection and Verification

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), All Wheel Drive (AWD)
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The All-Wheel Drive (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 duty cycle to send to the Active Torque
Coupling (ATC) solenoid (part of rear axle) that delivers the desired torque to the rear wheels. Specific inputs
to the 4X4 control module are: accelerator pedal position output from the PCM, transmission range from the
PCM or Transmission Control Module (TCM) (3.5L only), brake system status and all 4 wheel speeds from
the ABS module. Communication between the 4X4 control module and other modules is obtained through the
High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). If the 4X4 control module loses communication with, or
receives invalid data from any of the necessary modules, DTCs are set and the 4X4 control module may not
allow Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) operation.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Power Transfer Unit (PTU)

The AWD system consists of the following:

• PTU
• Rear driveshaft
• 4X4 control module
• Rear axle with coupling device

The PTU is a mechanical device attached to the transaxle. It supplies torque to the rear axle through the rear
driveshaft. The 4X4 control module is an electronic device which controls the rear axle coupling to apply the
torque generated from the PTU to the rear wheels when required.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 10/14/2011

Power Transfer Unit (PTU)

Principles of Operation

The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is a gearbox that attaches to the transaxle. Vehicles equipped with the 3.0L
engine have the 6F35 transaxle and those with the 3.5L engine have the Aisin AW21 transaxle. The PTU
design is similar between the two. The RH intermediate shaft passes through the PTU and engages the
differential side gear as in normal Front Wheel Drive (FWD) applications. The PTU directs power to the rear
driveshaft through a helical gear spline coupled to the transaxle differential case, a helical gear drop (idler
gear) and hypoid/helical riear assembly and pinion set. The PTU is sealed from the transaxle and has its own
oil sump.

Serviceable components of the PTU are limited to the output shaft seal and flange, intermediate shaft seal and
deflector, cover seal and the PTU -transaxle compression seal. The internal components are not serviced. Do
not remove the cover of the PTU . If any of the geared components, bearings, case cover or internal shafts are
worn or damaged, a new PTU must be installed.

Heat Protection Mode

During very extreme off-road operation, the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system utilizes a heat protection mode
to protect the Active Torque Coupling (ATC) 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 ATC solenoid. Allow the system to cool down at least 10 minutes
with the ignition switch in the ON position.

For concerns with the 4X4 control module or ATC , refer to Section 308-07A .

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage.

Symptom Chart - Power Transfer Unit (PTU)

Symptom Chart - Power Transfer Unit (PTU)

Analysis of Leakage

NOTE: There are 2 different PTU configurations used depending on the transaxle. The repairs made for
leakage on these 2 different PTU s may vary depending upon the type and location of the leakage. The
specified tools called out in this section will allow seal replacement without causing damage to the PTU case
and drive gear.

NOTE: Inspection of the seal's mating journal should be performed every time a seal is replaced. The mating
part/journal should be replaced if it has any of the following conditions: Radial wear groove that can be felt by
running a finger nail across it where seal lip runs. Scratches, pitting, galling, nicks or other shaft damage
under or near where the seal lip runs. Discoloration or coked oil on the shaft where the seal lip runs. Shaft
corrosion under or near where the seal lip runs. Sharp edges or burrs on the shaft lead in chamfer. NEVER use
emery cloth on journal finishes, replace the part.

The PTU may leak different color fluids, red ATF or tan/brown/black gear lube. The PTU and transaxle seals
prevent these types of fluids from leaking. It is important to note which color of fluid is leaking to determine
the most appropriate service procedure. The residue of red ATF should be cleaned from the PTU to prevent a
inaccurate diagnosis of a red ATF leak following the repair.

PTU Leaks From the RH Side

Vehicles Equipped with Aisin AW21 Transaxle

NOTE: The intermediate shaft seal functions as a dust seal and is not a source of a red ATF leak.

If the leak is red ATF , this indicates the transaxle seal is leaking and needs to be replaced. For additional
information, refer to Section 307-01A .

If the leak is tan/brown/black gear lube, the PTU cover seal is leaking and needs to be replaced. This cover
seal is located on the PTU cover, behind the deflector. For additional information, refer to Cover Seal
procedure in this section.

Vehicles Equipped with 6F35 Transaxle

Heat Protection Mode 4447


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

If the leak is red ATF , this indicates the intermediate shaft seal is leaking and needs to be replaced. For
additional information, refer to Intermediate Shaft Seal - 6F35 procedure in this section.

If the leak is tan/brown/black gear lube, the PTU cover seal is leaking and needs to be replaced. The cover
seal is located on the PTU cover, behind the deflector. For additional information, refer to Cover Seal
procedure in this section.

PTU Leaks From the LH Side

Vehicles Equipped with Aisin AW21 Transaxle

NOTE: The compression seal functions as a dust seal and is not the main source of the red ATF leak.

If the leak is red ATF , this indicates the transaxle seal is leaking and needs to be replaced. For additional
information, refer to Section 307-01A .

If the leak is tan/brown/black gear lube and not at the vent, check the non-serviceable PTU inboard seal for
leakage. If the PTU inboard seal is leaking, the PTU must be replaced. If the leak is from the vent, the PTU
may be overfilled. Determine if the red ATF has entered the PTU . If red ATF has entered the PTU , the
transaxle seal and PTU must be replaced. For additional information, refer to Section 307-01A and Power
Transfer Unit (PTU) in this section.

Vehicles Equipped with 6F35 Transaxle

If the leak is red ATF , this indicates the transaxle seal is leaking and needs to be replaced. For additional
information, refer to Section 307-01B .

If the leak is tan/brown/black gear lube, the PTU may be overfilled and leaking from the vent. If the PTU is
overfilled, adjust the level as necessary. If the leak is not at the vent, the non-serviceable PTU inboard seal is
leaking and the PTU must be replaced. For additional information, refer to Power Transfer Unit (PTU) in this
section.

with a suitable temperature measuring device, such as a digital temperature laser or infrared

Intermediate Shaft Seal Deflector 4458


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
thermometer, while heating. Do not allow the temperature to exceed 100°C (212°F).
Overheating will damage the deflector. If the deflector is damaged, a new deflector must be
used.

NOTE: Apply a small amount of silicone brake caliper grease and dielectric compound to the inner
lip of the deflecr where it installs on the tube inside the PTU before heating. This will ease the
installation of the deflector.

Position the deflector on the PTU Linkshaft Seal Dust Shield Installer using silicone brake caliper
grease and dielectric compound to retain it to the installer. Using a suitable heat gun, heat the
deflector to a minimum of 71°C (160°F) and a maximum of 93°C (200°F) by concentrating the heat
across the back of the installer while rotating the tool. Once the optimum temperature is achieved on
the tool, move the heat gun to the front of the tool and heat the inside of the deflector where it snaps
onto the PTU shaft until the temperature of the deflector is a minimum of 100°C (212°F).

• As an alternative method to heating the seal deflector, place the deflector in boiling water for
3 to 5 minutes. Dry off the deflector and install.

2. Using a 5-pound or larger dead blow hammer, install the seal deflector immediately after heating
using the PTU Linkshaft Seal Dust Shield Installer and Driver Handle.

3. Make sure the deflector is completely seated all the way around and there are no cracks on the face.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Exhaust System

The 2.5L exhaust system consists of:

• a one-piece catalytic converter manifold (hybrid only).


• an exhaust manifold (except hybrid).
• an exhaust flexible pipe.
• an underbody catalytic converter.
• a Catalyst Monitor Sensor (CMS) mounted to the underbody catalytic converter.
• a production muffler and tail pipe assembly.
• isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.

The 3.0L exhaust system consists of:

• a one-piece catalytic converter manifold.


• a RH exhaust manifold-mounted catalytic converter.
• an exhaust flexible pipe.
• an underbody catalytic converter.
• a production muffler and tail pipe assembly.
• isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.

The 3.5L exhaust system consists of:

• two exhaust manifold-mounted catalytic converters.


• an exhaust Y-pipe.
• a resonator and flex assembly.
• a production muffler and tail pipe assembly.
• isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.

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 hangers welded on the body.

Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emission control system. The catalytic converter operates as a
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.

The catalytic converter is designed to provide a long life. No maintenance is necessary for the catalytic
converter.

Precautions

NOTICE: 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

Exhaust System 4471


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
can destroy the catalyst and render the catalytic converter useless. 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.

NOTICE: 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.

Some exhaust fasteners must be discarded and new ones installed as indicated in the procedures. Also, any
damaged or heavily corroded fasteners should be discarded and new ones installed. Some exhaust fasteners
are of a prevailing torque design. Use only new fasteners with the same part number as the original. Torque
values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of exhaust components.

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, install a new insulator and shield. The
sound insulators and shields for the muffler, muffler pipe, resonator and catalytic converter pipe are installed
separately.

Symptom Chart - NVH


NOTE: NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools that are available. For a list of these
tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, refer to Section 100-04 . 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

2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

the symptom, refer back to Section 100-04 for the next likely system and continue diagnosis.

ConditionPossible SourcesAction

• Rattle, squeaks or buzz type noise - from the bottom of the vehicle

• Loose or damaged heat shield

• INSPECT the exhaust system for loose or missing heat shields or foreign material trapped between
the heat shields and the exhaust system components. If any heat shields are loose, INSTALL worm
gear clamp 7L5Z-5A231-AA and tighten to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). If the heat shields are missing,
INSTALL new heat shields or exhaust system components as necessary. If a rattle, noise or buzz
condition persists, INSTALL a new heat shield or component as necessary. TEST the system for
normal operation after the repair.

• Loose or damaged exhaust isolators

• VERIFY that the exhaust isolators are correctly installed. INSPECT the exhaust isolators for wear or
damage. INSTALL new isolators as necessary. TEST the system for normal operation after the repair.

• Damaged exhaust isolator hanger bracket

• INSPECT the exhaust system components for damage or broken hangers. INSTALL new components
as necessary. CHECK for loose or damaged exhaust hanger brackets. INSTALL new components as
necessary. TEST the system for normal operation after the repair.

Fuel System Shutoff Feature

2.5L and 3.0L vehicles

In event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP shutoff feature that is initiated by
the event notification signal. The event notification signal is provided by the Restraints Control Module
(RCM) to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows

Fuel System 4509


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
the PCM to shutoff the FP module. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, restart the
vehicle by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some
instances, the vehicle may not restart the first time and may take an additional attempt.

3.5L vehicles

The FP module is controlled by the PCM. Electrical power to the FP module is provided through the IFS
switch that will de-energize the fuel delivery secondary circuit in the event of a moderate to severe collision.
The IFS switch is a safety device, located under the RH front door scuff plate. Should the vehicle shutoff after
a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition OFF, push the reset button on the
IFS switch, then turn the ignition to the ON position.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The following procedure diagnoses a slow to fill concern only. For all other concerns refer to the
Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.

The fuel tank filler pipe assembly is used to refuel the vehicle. The fuel tank inlet check 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 sensor 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.

Inspection and Verification

WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the
event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery when working on an
evaporative emission (EVAP) system or fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always
present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

1. Verify the customer's concern by refueling the vehicle and observe the fuel fill rate.

2. Inspect to determine if any of the following mechanical concerns apply.

SECTION 310-01A: Fuel Tank and Lines
Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Fuel Tank and Lines

Fuel System

The fuel system consists of:

• a single-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS) (3.5L vehicles).


• a 2-speed MRFS (2.5L and 3.0L vehicles).
• an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) saddle-type or Front Wheel Drive (FWD) L-shaped fuel tank.
• an Easy Fuel TM (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way.
• a Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
♦ an electric FP , which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail.
♦ a serviceable fuel level sender.
♦ a check valve, which maintains system pressure after the FP is shut off.
♦ a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow.
♦ a lifetime fuel filter providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors from foreign material.
• fuel, vapor and brake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly attached to the underside of the vehicle
by retaining clips.
• has a supplemental refueling adapter located in the luggage compartment.
• an Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch (3.5L vehicles).
• a FP control module (2.5L and 3.0L vehicles).
• an individual fuel level sensor, AWD vehicles only.

Fuel System Shutoff Feature

2.5L and 3.0L vehicles

In event of a moderate to severe collision, the vehicle is equipped with a FP shutoff feature that is initiated by
the event notification signal. The event notification signal is provided by the Restraints Control Module
(RCM) to the FP control module. Signal communication between the RCM and the FP control module allows
the PCM to shutoff the FP module. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, restart the
vehicle by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some
instances, the vehicle may not restart the first time and may take an additional attempt.

3.5L vehicles

The FP module is controlled by the PCM. Electrical power to the FP module is provided through the IFS
switch that will de-energize the fuel delivery secondary circuit in the event of a moderate to severe collision.
The IFS switch is a safety device, located under the RH front door scuff plate. Should the vehicle shutoff after
a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition OFF, push the reset button on the
IFS switch, then turn the ignition to the ON position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Fuel Tank and Lines

Fuel System

The fuel system consists of:

• a 2-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS).


• a standard L-shaped fuel tank.
• an Easy Fuel TM (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way.
• a Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
♦ an electric FP , which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail.
♦ a serviceable fuel level sender.
♦ a check valve, which maintains system pressure after the FP is shut off.
♦ a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow.
♦ a lifetime fuel filter providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors from foreign material.
• fuel, vapor anake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly attached to the underside of the vehicle by
retaining clips.
• has a supplemental refueling adapter located in the luggage compartment.
• a FP control module.

Fuel System Shutoff Feature

The vehicle is equipped with a FP shutoff feature that is initiated by theRestraints Control Module (RCM).
The FP control module receives an event notification signal from the RCM to disable the FP . The event
notification signal is sent on a dedicated circuit between the FP control module and the RCM . Should the
vehicle shut-off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition to the OFF
position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some instances, the vehicle may not restart the first
time and may take an additional attempt.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Steering System

Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) System

The Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system consists of the following components:

• Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) - the PSCM controls the functions of the EPAS system and
communicates with other modules that are on the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
bus. The PSCM is attached to the RH side of the EPAS gear assembly and is not available separately
for service.
• Motor - the EPAS gear uses a 12-volt reversible motor to control the steering effort. The motor is
connected to the steering rack by a toothed belt and a pulley/bearing assembly. The motor is used by
the PSCM to move the rack inside the gear housing. Motor position is used to determine steering
wheel angle/position instead of using a separate sensor. The motor is attached to the RH side of the
EPAS gear assembly and is not available separately for service.
• Steering shaft torque sensor - the steering shaft torque sensor is used by the PSCM to determine how
much force the steering wheel is being turned. The sensor sends out 2 signals, one for left and one for
right. When the steering wheel is turned to the left, the left signal increases while the right signal
decreases, likewise when the steering wheel is turned to the right, the right signal increases while the
left signal decreases. This allows the PSCM EPAS gear assembly and is not available separately for
service.
• Inner tie rod - one inner tie rod is located at each end of the EPAS gear assembly and is available
separately for service. Refer to Section 211-02 .
• Outer tie rod - one outer tie rod is located at each end of the EPAS gear assembly and is available
separately for service. Refer to Section 211-02 .
• EPAS gear bellows boot - one bellows boot is located on each side of the EPAS gear assembly. Each
boot is held in place with 2 boot clamps. The boots and clamps are available for service, refer to
Section 211-02 .
• EPAS gear isolators - there are several rubber isolators (one at each attaching point) on the EPAS gear
assembly. These isolators aid in reducing NVH concerns and not available separately for service.

The EPAS system utilizes a rack-and-pinion type steering gear. Power assist is provided by a motor that is
connected to the steering rack by a belt and a pulley and bearing assembly. The steering gear and
motor/module are serviced as an assembly. A new steering gear includes inner tie rods, however, the inner and
outer tie rods can also be serviced separately. For information on tie-rod end service, refer to Section 211-02 .

Principles of Operation

Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) System

The Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system provides power steering assist to the driver by replacing
the conventional hydraulic valve system with an electric motor coupled to the steering rack by a toothed belt.
The motor is controlled by the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) that senses steering effort/use through
the use of a torque sensor which is mounted near the input shaft of the steering gear. Steering assist is
provided in proportion to the steering input effort and vehicle speed.

The EPAS system requires a 12-volt, hot at all times feed for system operation. The PSCM is activated when
power is applied to the hard-wired ignition/run input. After activation, the PSCM monitors the High Speed
Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to determine if the vehicle is operating in a manner capable of
supporting the EPAS system.

Once this is determined, vehicle speed sent by the PCM over the HS-CAN bus, steering shaft speed and
direction sent by the torque sensor and steering wheel angle/position determined by the motor position all
provide the necessary information for the PSCM to determine the amount or level of assist provided by the
EPAS system.

Assist is primarily based off of vehicle speed. As vehicle speed increases, the amount of assist provided by the
system is decreased to improve and enhance road feel at the steering wheel. As vehicle speed decreases, the
amount of assist provided by the system is increased to ease vehicle maneuvering. If the vehicle speed is
missing or out of range, the PSCM defaults to a safe level of assist for all driving conditions. If the vehicle
speed returns to the correct in-range values, the PSCM will adjust the level of assist accordingly. Steering
wheel/shaft torque, speed and direction information will allow the PSCM to determine how much assist is
needed to turn the wheels right and left.

The PSCM is self-monitoring and has the capability of setting and storing DTCs. Depending on the DTC set,
the control module will enter into a "safe mode" of manual steering. In addition, the PSCM may send a
request to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module over the HS-CAN bus to display a message in the

Steering System 4700

message center to alert the driver of a potential EPAS concern.

Principles of Operation

Power Steering

The power steering system uses a vane-type pump to move the fluid from the reservoir to the steering gear
and through the rest of the steering hydraulic system. The power steering pump is mounted to the engin driven
by the engine accessory drive belt. Power steering fluid flows into the pump from the reservoir. The power
steering fluid is then trapped between the pump vanes and moved to the high-pressure side of the pump
creating a flow of fluid. The restriction of this flow by the steering gear creates the pressure that provides the
steering assist. A combined pressure relief/flow valve is built into the pump to control the maximum pressure
and flow provided to the steering system. This action prevents damage to the system and provides the correct
level of assist during all engine speeds. While under pressure, the power steering fluid flows through the
high-pressure power steering line to the steering gear. The fluid exits the gear and flows through the return
line, cooler and finally to the reservoir. The reservoir slows the fluid, allows air to escape and filters the fluid

proceeding.

9. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and GO to Symptom Chart - Steering System
or GO to Symptom Chart - NVH .

Steering System Symptom Definitions

Drift/Pull

Pull is described as a tugging sensation felt by the hands on the steering wheel that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.

Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with the hands off the steering wheel.

• A vehicle-related drift/pull on a flat road can cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead path
and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
• Drift/pull can be induced by conditions external to the vehicle, such as wind or road camber.

Excessive Steering Wheel Play

Excessive steering wheel play is a condition in which there is too much steering wheel movement before the
wheels move. A small amount of steering wheel free play is considered normal.

Drift/Pull 4707
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Lack of Assist or Inconsistent Assist

Lack of assist or inconsistent assist is experienced when the steering wheel effort is higher than normal. Hard
steering can remain constant through the full turn or occur near the end of a turn. It is important to know the
difference between hard steering/lack of assist and poor returnability/sticky steering.

Hard steering or lack of assist can result from either hydraulic or mechanical conditions. It is extremely
important to know if this concern occurs during driving or during high-effort parking maneuvers.

Poor Returnability/Sticky Steering

Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to center after a
turn or steering correction is completed.

Wander

Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel corrections to
maintain a straight path down a level road.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Power Steering

Hydraulic Power Assist Steering (HPAS)

The hydraulic power steering system consists of the following components:

• Power steering pump


• Power steering fluid reservoir
• Power steering pressure and return lines/hoses
• Power steering fluid cooler
• Steering gear
• Inner tie rod
• Outer tie rod

The power steering system uses a vane-type pump to move the fluid from the reservoir to the steering gear
and through the rest of the steering hydraulic system. The power steering pump is mounted to the engine and
driven by a non-adjustable (stretchy) belt. Power steering fluid flows into the pump from the reservoir. The
power steering fluid is then trapped between the pump vanes and moved to the high-pressure side of the pump
creating a flow of fluid. The restriction of this flow by the steering gear creates the pressure that provides the
steering assist. A combined pressure relief/flow valve is built into the pump to control the maximum pressure
and flow provided to the steering system. This action prevents damage to the system and provides the correct
level of assist during all engine speeds. While under pressure, the power steering fluid flows through the
high-pressure power steering line to the steering gear. The fluid exits the gear and flows through the return
line, cooler and finally to the reservoir. The reservoir slows the fluid, allows air to escape and filters the fluid
before returning it to the pump.

Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS)

The Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) consists of the following components:

• Steering gear
• Outer tie rod
• Inner tie rod

The EPAS system utilizes a rack-and-pinion type steering gear. Power assist is provided by a motor that is
connected to the steering rack by a belt and a pulley and bearing assembly. The steering gear and
motor/module are serviced as an assembly. A new steering gear includes inner tie rods, however, the inner and
outer tie rods can also be serviced separately.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Steering Column

The steering column consists of the following:

• Steering wheel
• Steering column
• Upper and lower steering column shafts
• Steering column switches
• Ignition lock cylinder

The steering column is the mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the steering gear. The steering
wheel is mounted to a shaft which passes through the center of the steering column. The shaft is centered by
roller ball bearings within the steering column. The steering column shaft then connects the steering column
to the steering gear. The upper and lower steering column shaft connections utilize U-joint type couplings.
The tilt and telescopic functions of the steering column are controlled by a mechanical lever on the underside
of the steering column, which uses a cam to lock and unlock the steering column. When the tilt/telescopic
column lever is unlocked, the steering column can then be adjusted to various positions. The steering column
switches (multifunction and ignition) are mounted to the steering column. These switches are covered by the
upper and lower steering column shrouds.

For steering column switch service information, refer to Section 211-05 .

For ignition lock cylinder service information, refer to Section 501-14 .

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Steering Column Switches

The steering column switches consist of the following:

• Multifunction switch
• Ignition switch

The steering column switches receive driver inputs and send signals to various components. The multifunction
switch controls the windshield wipers, hazard flasher, turn signal, headlamp low/high beam and headlamp
dimmer/flash-to-pass. The ignition switch is used in conjunction with the lock cylinder key to start the
vehicle. When the lock cylinder key is switched to different positions, it moves linkages which enable the
ignition switch to send battery voltage to various components.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) may also be identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The steering column switches include the ignition switch and the multifunction switch (high beam/low beam,
flash-to-pass, turn signal and windshield wiper).

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch is controlled by the ignition lock cylinder with a key. When the ignition cylinder is turned
using the key, a mechanical connection positions the ignition switch to the selected position and allows the
ignition switch to send voltage to specific components. The ignition switch is contained in the steering column
lock module.

Key Removal Inhibit Solenoid

The key removal inhibit solenoid (also known as the key release interlock actuator) is an electronically
controlled solenoid that prevents the ignition lock cylinder from being turned to the OFF position unless the
selector lever is in the PARK position. The key removal inhibit solenoid is part of the ignition switch.

Multifunction Switch

The multifunction switch controls the various components electrically. The multifunction switch is hardwired
to the SJB and controls a ground signal for the high beam, flash-to-pass and turn signal functions. The
multifunction switch is also hardwired to the wiper module and controls a ground signal for the various wiper
and washer functions.

For headlamp and turn signal concerns, refer to Section 417-01 . For wiper and washer concerns, refer to
Section 501-16 .

Normal Operation

The ignition switch is spring loaded to automatically return to the RUN position after being placed in the
START position. A microprocessor in the Smart Junction Box (SJB) monitors the voltage output from the
ignition switch while the switch is in the START position. This microprocessor is also connected to the Audio
Control Module (ACM) start circuit, so a short to voltage on the ignition switch output circuit or on the ACM
start circuit could cause DTC B2A20 to set.

• B2A20 (Ignition Stuck in START) - The SJB continuously monitors the ignition switch state, if the
SJB receives a START signal for more than 30 seconds, DTC B2A20 will be set.

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) contains several inputs that monitor the voltage outputs from the ignition
switch. The SJB uses these inputs to determine the ignition switch position and then sends that information to
various modules over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus. The ignition switch is
designed so that only one output (ACC, RUN or START) is sent to the SJB at a time.

• DTC B2844 (Ignition Fault) - If the SJB receives an invalid ignition RUN input or cannot receive the
ignition RUN input during normal operation, DTC B2844 is set.
• DTC U2472 (Unexpected Ignition State) - If the SJB does not receive the ignition RUN signal or
receives conflicting ignition switch signals while performing an on-demand self test, DTC U2472 is
set.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


• Wiring, terminals or connectors

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Climate Control System

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 theseuctions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTICE: 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 Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) or Mobile Air Conditioning Society (MACS). 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.
• 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.

NOTICE: 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.

Climate Control System 4814


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

• 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.

External Temperature Display

Climate Control System 4817


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

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 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 greater than 40 km/h (25 mph) 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 ienced by the external temperature thermistor.

Principles of Operation

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

Climate Control System 4823


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
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 occupants feel. 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.

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, Compressor Anti-Slugging Strategy (CASS) is utilized.

CASS is initiated only under specific conditions:

• The ignition is off for more than 8 hours


• The 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 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,

Climate Control System 4824


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
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).

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 J: THE AIR INLET DOOR IS INOPERATIVE 4867


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Normal Operation

Under normal operation, to rotate the mode door actuator, the HVAC module supplies voltage or ground to
the DEFROST/PANEL/FLOOR mode door actuator motor through circuit CH228 (YE/GY), and supplies
ground or voltage through circuit CH229 (WH/BU) depending on desired rotation direction.

The mode door actuator feedback resistor is supplied a ground from the HVAC module through circuit RH111
(GY/BU) and a 5-volt reference voltage on circuit LH111 (BN/WH). The HVAC module reads the voltage on
the mode door actuator feedback circuit VH436 (YE/VT) to determine the mode door actuator position by the
position of the actuator feedback resistor wiper arm.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, for Fusion equipped with navigation and all MKZ vehicles, when A/C button is
pressed, a message is sent from the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) over the Medium Speed
Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) bus to the HVAC module. The HVAC module then sends an A/C
request message over the MS-CAN bus to the Instrument Cluster (IC), then from the IC through the High
Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to the PCM.

For all vehicles equipped with navigation , when MAX A/C is selected on the touch screen, the Audio
Control Module (ACM) sends a message over the MS-CAN bus to the HVAC module that MAX A/C has
been selected.

For Fusion not equipped with navigation , when A/C is requested, a message is sent over the MS-CAN bus
to the IC , then from the IC through the HS-CAN bus to the PCM.

Ignition voltage is provided to the A/C clutch relay switch through circuit SBB25 (RD). When the PCM
energizes the relay, ignition voltage is supplied to the A/C clutch through circuit CH401 (VT/WH). Ground is
supplied for the A/C clutch through circuit GD121 (BK/YE).

When an A/C request is received by the PCM, the A/C compressor clutch will only be engaged through the
A/C clutch relay if all of the following conditions are met:

• The PCM does not detect excessively high or low refrigerant pressure from the A/C pressure
transducer.
• The PCM does not detect excessively high engine coolant temperature.
• The PCM does not detect an ambient air temperature below -1°C (30°F).
• The PCM has not detected a Wide Open Throttle (WOT) condition.
• The HVAC module does not detect an evaporator discharge air temperature below 2°C (36°F).

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, for Fusion equipped with navigation and all MKZ vehicles, when A/C button is
pressed, a message is sent from the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) over the Medium Speed
Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) bus to the HVAC module. The HVAC module then sends an A/C
request message over the MS-CAN bus to the Instrument Cluster (IC), then from the IC through the High
Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to the PCM.

For all vehicles equipped with navigation , when MAX A/C is selected on the touch screen, the Audio
Control Module (ACM) sends a message over the MS-CAN bus to the HVAC module that MAX A/C has
been selected.

For Fusion not equipped with navigation , when A/C is requested, a message is sent over the MS-CAN bus
to the IC , then from the IC through the HS-CAN bus to the PCM.

Pinpoint Test P: Temperature Control is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 55 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Automatic Climate Control
System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, to rotate the temperature blend door actuator clockwise, the HVAC module supplies
voltage to the temperature blend door actuators through the door actuator feed A circuits, and supplies ground
through the door actuator feed B circuits. To rotate the temperature blend door actuator counterclockwise, the
HVAC module reverses the voltage and ground circuits.

The temperature blend door actuator feedback resistors are supplied a ground from the HVAC module by the
temperature blend door actuator return circuits and a 5-volt reference voltage on the temperature blend door
actuator reference circuits. The HVAC module reads the voltage on the temperature blend door actuator

feedback circuits to determine the temperature blend door actuator position by the position of the actuator
feedback resistor wiper arm.

NOTE: For the passenger side temperature setting on hybrid vehicles equipped with dual-zone Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) and a Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) built on or after
04/08/2009 to be functional, a passenger must be seated in the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat
is not occupied, the HVAC module will control the system based only on the driver side temperature setting.
The HVAC module receives a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) signal from the FCIM to
indicate if the front passenger seat is occupied.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, the blower motor relay coil receives ignition voltage through circuit CBP45 (YE).
The coil receives ground from the HVAC module â Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC)
through circuit CH123 (VT/GN) if any function selector position but OFF is selected. Voltage is supplied to
the relay switch contact through circuit SBB06 (BN/RD). When the relay coil is energized, voltage is
delivered to the blower motor through circuit CH402 (YE/GN). Ground for the blower motor is provided
through circuit CH426 (YE/OG) from the blower resistor or the blower switch (HI). The blower resistor and
blower switch is grounded through circuit GD115 (BK/GY).

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 55 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Automatic Climate Control
System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, the blower motor relay coil receives a ground from the HVAC module through
circuit CH123 (VT/GN). The coil receives ignition voltage through circuit CBP45 (YE). Voltage is supplied
to the relay switch contact through circuit SBB06 (BN/RD). When the relay coil is energized, voltage is
delivered to the blower motor speed control through circuit CH402 (YE/GN). Ground for the blower motor
speed control is provided by circuit GD115 (BK/GY). Voltage for the motor is provided through circuit
VH301 (YE/BU) from the blower motor speed control. Ground for the motor is provided through circuit
VH219 (GY) from the blower motor speed control. The HVAC module sends a Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) signal to the blower motor speed control through circuit VH101 (WH/VT) to control the blower
speed.

Heater Core

1. NOTE: 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 pressure test. Carry out a system inspection by
checking the heater system thoroughly as follows:

PINPOINT TEST T: THE BLOWER MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY â DATC 4916
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

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.

2. 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.

Check the integrity of the heater hose clamps.

Heater Core â 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, using a suitable temperature measuring
device, check the 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 â Pressure Test

WARNING: Before disconnecting any heater water hoses, shut OFF the engine and wait until
engine is fully cool. Failure to comply with this warning may result in serious injury or burns from hot
liquid escaping from the engine cooling system.

Use the Pressure Test Kit to carry out the pressure test.

1. NOTE: Due to space limitations, a bench test may be necessary for pressure testing.

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 plug BT-7422-B and the adapter
BT-7422-A from the Pressure Test Kit. Secure the heater hoses, plug and adapter with hose clamps.

5. Attach the pump and gauge assembly from the Pressure Test Kit to the adapter.

PINPOINT TEST T: THE BLOWER MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY â DATC 4917
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

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 â 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 â On-Vehicle Leak Test

1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. Refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation
and Charging in this section.

2. Disconnect the suspect evaporator core or condenser core from the A/C system.

3. Clean the manifold fittings.

4. Connect the appropriate test fittings from the A/C Flush Adapter Kit to the condenser or evaporator
core tube connections.

5. 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.

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.

6. 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

PINPOINT TEST T: THE BLOWER MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY â DATC 4918
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
vacuum and appear as a refrigerant leak.

7. 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.

8. 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.
• If a very small leak is suspected, allow the system to sit overnight with vacuum applied and
check for vacuum loss.

9. If the evaporator core or condenser core does leak, as verified by the above procedure, install a new
evaporator core or condenser core.

A/C Compressor â External Leak Test

1. Install the appropriate adapter from the A/C Flush Adapter Kit on the port of the A/C compressor,
using the existing manifold retaining bolt.

2. Connect the high- and low-pressure lines of a manifold gauge set or a refrigerant recovery/recycling
station to the corresponding fittings on the adapter.

3. Attach the center hose of a manifold gauge set to a refrigerant container standing in an upright
position.

4. 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.

5. Using the Refrigerant Leak Detector, check for leaks at the compressor shaft.

6. If a shaft seal leak is found, install a new compressor shaft seal. If an external leak is found, install a
new A/C compressor.

7. When the leak test is complete, recover the refrigerant from the compressor.

Fluorescent Dye Injection - Using an R-134a Refrigerant Management Center and Dye/Lubricant
Injector (Non-Hybrid Only)

NOTICE: Do not add liquid-based R-134a Leak Detection Dye to the refrigerant system on hybrid
vehicles equipped with an electric Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor. Liquid-based dyes are mixed
with PAG oil, and will contaminate and damage the hybrid refrigerant system. Dye can only be added
to hybrid vehicles by installing a new received/drier desiccant cartridge which includes a fluorescent
dye "wafer" which will dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued A/C operation.

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 UV 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. Replacement receiver/drier desiccant cartridges are shipped with a fluorescent
dye "wafer" included in the desiccant bag which will dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued
A/C operation. It is not necessary to add dye after flushing or filtering the refrigerant system because a new
receiver/drier desiccant cartridge is installed as part of the flushing or filtering procedure. 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: This method of fluorescent dye injection requires the addition of R-134a from a R-134a Refrigerant

Fluorescent Dye Leak Detection 4927


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Management Machine or R-134a Manifold Gauge Set hooked to an external tank to charge the dye into the
refrigerant system. If adding fluorescent dye to a refrigert system that is already fully charged, the R-134a
Loop/Add On Injector Kit-Set method should be used.

NOTE: Before using 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 from the R-134a Loop/Add On Injector Kit-Set when
fluorescent dye is to be injected. The dye/lubricant 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. NOTE: If no R-134a pressure is present in the refrigerant system, the system should be evacuated
before carrying out the injection procedure. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning
(A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging in this section.

Connect a R-134a Refrigerant Center or a R-134a Manifold Gauge Set to the refrigerant system
service port valves.

2. NOTE: The dye/lubricant injector is included as part of the 219-00069 R-134a Loop/Add On Injector
Kit-Set.

Verify that the valves on the dye/lubricant injector are closed.

3. Fill the fluorescent e injector reservoir with 7 ml (0.25 oz) of fluorescent dye.

4. Install the dye/lubricant injector between the low-pressure service gauge port valve and the R-134a
Refrigerant Center or R-134a Manifold Gauge Set.

5. Open all valves and inject the fluorescent dye into the refrigerant system.

6. When fluorescent dye injection is complete, close all valves.

7. Recover the refrigerant from the dye/lubricant injector.

8. Remove the dye/lubricant injector from the low-pressure service gauge port valve and the R-134a
Refrigerant Center or R-134a Manifold Gauge Set.

with PAG oil, and will contaminate and damage the hybrid refrigerant system. Dye can only be added
to hybrid vehicles by installing a new received/drier desiccant cartridge which includes a fluorescent
dye "wafer" which will dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued A/C operation.

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 UV blacklight. It is not necessary to add
additional dye to the refrigerant system before diagnosing leaks, even if a signicant amount of refrigerant has
been removed from the system. Replacement receiver/drier desiccant cartridges are shipped with a fluorescent
dye "wafer" included in the desiccant bag which will dissolve after approximately 30 minutes of continued
A/C operation. It is not necessary to add dye after flushing or filtering the refrigerant system because a new
receiver/drier desiccant cartridge is installed as part of the flushing or filtering procedure. 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.

NOTE: Refrigerant system pressure should be between 413-551 kPa (60-80 psi) at 24°C (75°F) with the
engine off and cool.

1. Verify that the valves on the deluxe injector loop kit are closed.

2. Fill the R-134a Loop/Add On Injector Kit-Set reservoir with 7 ml (0.25 oz) of fluorescent dye.

3. Install the R-134a Loop/Add On Injector Kit-Set between the high-pressure and low-pressure service
gauge po valves.

4. NOTICE: Make sure all tools and hoses are clear of the engine cooling fan and drive belt before
starting the engine.

Start the engine.

5. Set the A/C to the ON position.

023-00178 or equivalent

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.

1. NOTE: The system pressure should be between 413-551 kPa (60-80 psi) at 24°C (75°F) with the
engine off and cool. The pressure reading may be higher if the engine is hot.

Leak test the refrigerant system using the Heated Pentode Halogen Leak Detector. Follow the

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. ul>Failure to
follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

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.

NOTICE: Receiver/drier cartridge, 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 fouse 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.

NOTICE: 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 while installed in their normal in-vehicle location. 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 receiver/drier cartridge. For additional information, refer to Section 412-01 .
2. NOTE: The condenser core must be flushed with the receiver/drier cartridge removed. Do

WARNING: Carry out this procedure in a well-ventilated area with all vehicle windows and doors
opened. Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL
INFORMATION, seek medical advice. On Ford/Motorcraft products in the USA or Canada call:
1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), if
available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: There are typically 4 types of objectionable odors found in a vehicle:

• Chemical odors
• Environmental odors
• Human and other interior-generated odors
• Microbiological odors

Before determining that A/C odor treatment is required, the sourcnd the circumstances under which the odor
occurs must be determined.

NOTE: Chemical odors are usually constant regardless of the climate control system setting although they
may be enhanced by A/C operation. Most chemical odors are caused by fluid leaks or incorrectly cured
adhesives. Chemical odors can be eliminated by repairing the leaking component and removing any residue.

NOTE: Environmental odors usually occur for a short time and diminish after the vehicle passes through the
affected area. These odors are typically only detected when the vehicle windows are open, or when the
climate control system is operating in a mode that allows for fresh air. Environmental odors cannot be
eliminated because they are external in source, but they may be minimized by switching to a climate control
setting that uses recirculated air.

NOTE: Human and other interior-generated odors occur while the source is present and may linger for a short
time after. These odors may be more noticeable during A/C operation. Human odors may be eliminated by
removing the source and cleaning the affected area.

NOTE: Microbiological odors, if in the A/C system, usually last for about 30 seconds after the system is
turned on. They will be detected while the A/C is turned on and using either outside or recirculated air.
Microbiological odors that occur in areas other than the A/C system (for example, water in doors or wet
carpeting) may last indefinitely and will be more intense when recirculated air is used. Microbiological odors

Air Conditioning (A/C) Odor Treatment 4950

will not be present at temperatures at or below 10°C (50°F).

Microbiological odors can be eliminated by removing the source and treating the affected area. Standing water
must be allowed to drain and dry out. A/C systems may be treated by using A/C cooling coil coating as
described in the service procedure below.

Microbiological odors result from microbial growth supported by warm temperatures and moisture.
Microbiolocal odors are described as musty/mildew type smells and may occur on/in:

• foam seals
• rubber seals
• adhesives
• standing water
• water soaked carpet/trim

1. Identify the type of odor present in the vehicle. Do not proceed with A/C odor treatment if the odor
source is found to be outside of the A/C system. Refer to the following chart for examples.

2. Identify the source of the odor.


• Check the evaporator core drain tube for restriction.
• Check the passenger and driver side carpet for moisture. If moisture is found, A/C odor
treatment is not necessary. Diagnose for a water leak as needed.
• Check the blower motor and blower motor cover (if equipped) for moisture resulting from
water bypassing the cowl baffling system. If moisture is found, A/C odor treatment is not
necessary. Diagnose for a water leak as needed.
• Check the cowl top panel and air inlet screen for standing water or foreign material. If
possible, remove any standing water and clean the air inlet screen using a wet/dry vacuum.

3. Open all vehicle windows and doors.

4. Make sure that the A/C is off.

5. Set the following.


• Select PANEL mode (A/C off).
• Adjust the temperature setting to full warm.
• Adjust the blower motor speed to HI.

6. Run the engine for 25 minutes to dry out the A/C system.

7. Turn the ignition OFF.

8. Remove the blower motor.

9. NOTE: Blower motor speed controls that are mounted outside of the evaporator core housing and not
exposed to the blower motor airflow do not need to be removed.

Remove the blower motor resistor (if equipped) or blower motor speed control (if equipped and
exposed to the inside of the evaporator core housing).

10. NOTICE: To avoid damage to the vehicle interior, do not spill or spray this product on any
interior surface.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Climate Control System

The system consists of the following components:

• Air Conditioning Compressor Module (ACCM)


• A/C condenser core
• A/C evaporator core
• Receiver/drier
• Connecting refrigerant lines
• Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
• A/C pressure transducer
• Heater core and evaporator core housing
• HVAC module
• Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) (all vehicles equipped with navigation systems)
• Audio Control Module (ACM) (all vehicles equipped with navigation systems)
• Temperature blend door actuators
• Defrost/panel/floor mode door actuator
• Air inlet mode door actuator
• Blower motor speed control
• Blower motor
• Ambient air temperature sensor
• In-vehicle temperature/humidity sensor
• Sunload sensor
• Evaporator temperature sensor

Humidity Sensor

The humidity sensed by the HVAC module to optimize the Air Conditioning Compressor Module (ACCM)
operation for reduced electrical system load while maintaining passenger comfort.

When the relative humidity inside the vehicle is low, passengers are comfortable at a higher air temperature.
The ACCM can decrease the compressor rpm before the commanded temperature is reached to reduce
compressor electrical load while maintaining passenger comfort.

Hybrid Climate Control System Operation

NOTE: For the passenger side temperature setting on hybrid vehicles equipped with dual-zone Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) and a Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) built on or after
4/08/2009 to be functional, a passenger must be seated in the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat
is not occupied, the HVAC module will control the system based only on the driver side temperature setting.
The HVAC module receives a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) signal from the FCIM to
indicate if the front passenger seat is occupied.

When an A/C request is made by the HVAC module, a message is sent from the HVAC module over the
Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) bus to the Instrument Cluster (IC), then from the IC
through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to the PCM.

Climate Control System 4956


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
When an A/C request is received from the HVAC module, an A/C demand message is sent from the PCM
over the HS-CAN bus to the Air Conditioning Compressor Module (ACCM) if all of the following conditions
are met:

• The PCM does not detect excessively high or low refrigerant pressure from the A/C pressure
transducer.
• The PCM does not detect excessively high engine coolant temperature.
• The PCM does not detect an ambient air temperature below -1°C (30°F).
• The PCM has not detected a Wide Open Throttle (WOT) condition.
• The HVAC module does not detect an evaporator discharge air temperature below 2°C (36°F).

When the ACCM receives the A/C demand message, it will engage. Instead of cycling ON and OFF like a
traditional A/C compressor, the PCM monitors the evaporator discharge temperature from the HVAC module
to raise or lower the electric A/C compressor speed as required. When the HVAC module is OFF or not
requiring A/C operation, the electric A/C compressor will be OFF.

Auxiliary Coolant Flow Pump

An auxiliary coolant flow pump is used only on hybrid vehicles to improve engine coolant circulation, for
heater operation, at low engine speeds or when the engine is OFF.

For a complete explanation of the auxiliary coolant flow pump refer to heating and ventilation in the
Description and Operation portion of Section 412-01 .

The Refrigerant Cycle

During stabilized conditions (A/C system shutdown), the refrigerant pressures are equal throughout the
system. When the electric 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 electric 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
electric A/C compressor speed. If the temperature of the evaporator core discharge air is low enough to cause
the condensed water vapor to freeze, the electric A/C compressor reduces it speed.

Climate Control System 4958


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The high-side line pressure is also monitored so that electric A/C compressor operation will be interrupted if
the system pressure becomes too high or is determined to be too low (low charge condition).

The electric A/C compressor thermal protection switch will interrupt compressor operation if the compressor
housing exceeds temperature limits.

The electric A/C compressor relief valve will open and vent refrigerant to relieve unusually high system
pressure.

Pinpoint Test A: DTC P2600

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 55 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Automatic Climate Control
System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, voltage is provided to the auxiliary coolant flow pump relay coil through circuit
CBK03 (GY). When the HVAC module is ON, a message is sent over the Controller Area Network (CAN) to
the PCM. When the PCM receives the message, a ground is provided to the auxiliary coolant flow pump relay
coil from the PCM through circuit CH307 (GY/BU), energizing the auxiliary coolant flow pump relay.

An auxiliary coolant flow pump is used only on hybrid vehicles to improve engine coolant circulation at low
engine speeds or when the engine is OFF.

The auxiliary coolant flow pump will be disabled when any of the following conditions are present:

• The climate control module is set to the OFF position.


• The ambient temperature is above 32°C (90°F).
• The coolant temperature is less than -10°C (14°F).
• The engine speed is above 4,000 rpm.

For a complete explanation of the auxiliary coolant flow pump refer to heating and ventilation in the
Description and Operation portion of Section 412-01 .

• DTC P2600 (Coolant Pump A Control Circuit / Open) - The DTC sets when the PCM grounds the
relay circd excessive current draw is detected on the relay circuit. The DTC also sets when the relay
circuit is OFF and no voltage is detected on the relay control circuit. The PCM expects to detect
voltage coming through the relay coil to the relay circuit when it is not grounding it.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• Heater pump relay

Pinpoint Test G: The Air Inlet Door is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 55 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Automatic Climate Control
System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, to rotate the air inlet door actuator, the HVAC module - Dual Automatic
Temperature Control (DATC) supplies voltage to the air inlet door actuator motor through the circuit CH207
(BU/GY) or through circuit CH208 (GN/OG). To rotate the air inlet door actuator in the reverse direction, the
HVAC module - DATC reverses the voltage and ground circuits.

The air inlet door actuator feedback resistor is supplied a ground from the HVAC module - DATC through
circuit RH111 (GY/BU) and a 5-volt reference voltage on circuit LH111 (BN/WH). The HVAC module -
DATC reads the voltage on the air inlet door actuator feedback circuit VH438 (GN/VT) to determine the air
inlet door actuator position by the position of the actedback resistor wiper arm.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, warm coolant flows from the engine through the auxiliary coolant flow pump to the
heater core and back to the engine. The auxiliary coolant flow pump relay (switch side) is supplied voltage
through circuit SBB13 (GY/RD). When the relay is energized by the PCM, the voltage is sent from the relay
to the auxiliary coolant flow pump through circuit CHC01 (BN/YE). The auxiliary coolant flow pump is
grounded through circuit GD112 (BK/YE). When the HVAC module is ON, a message is sent over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) to the PCM. When the PCM receives the message, the PCM energizes the
auxiliary coolant flow pump relay.

An auxiliary coolant flow pump is used only on hybrid vehicles to improve engine coolant circulation for
heater operation at low engine speeds or when the engine is OFF.

The auxiliary coolant flow pump will be disabled when any of the following conditions are present:

• The climate control module is set to the OFF position.


• The ambient temperature is above 32°C (90°F).
• The coolant temperature is less than -10°C (14°F).
• The engine speed is above 4,000 rpm.

For a complete explanation of the auxiliary coolant flow pump, refer to heating and ventilation in the
Description and Operation portion of Section 412-01 .

Pinpoint Test I: The Air Conditioning (A/C) is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 55 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Automatic Climate Control
System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, for vehicles equipped with navigation, when the A/C button is pressed, a message is
sent from the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network
(MS-CAN) bus to the HVAC module. The HVAC module then sends an A/C request message over the
MS-CAN bus to the Instrument Cluster (IC), then from the IC through the High Speed Controller Area
Network (HS-CAN) bus to the PCM.

For vehicles equipped with navigation, when MAX A/C is selected on the touch screen, the Audio Control
Module (ACM) sends a message over the MS-CAN bus to the HVAC module that MAX A/C has been

For vehicles not equipped with navigation, when A/C is requested, a message is sent from the HVAC module
over the MS-CAN bus to the IC , then from the IC through the HS-CAN bus to the PCM.

When an A/C request is received from the HVAC module, an A/C demand message is sent from the PCM
over the HS-CAN bus to the Air Conditioning Compressor Module (ACCM) if all of the following conditions
are met:

• The PCM does not detect excessively high or low refrigerant pressure from the A/C pressure
transducer.
• The PCM does not detect excessively high engine coolant temperature.
• The PCM does not detect an ambient air temperature below -1°C (30°F).
• The PCM has not detected a Wide Open Throttle (WOT) condition.
• The HVAC module does not detect an evaporator discharge air temperature below 2°C (36°F).

When the ACCM receives the A/C demand message, it will engage. Instead of cycling ON and OFF like a
traditional A/C compressor, the PCM monitors the evaporator discharge temperature from the HVAC module
to raise or lower the electric A/C compressor speed as required.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Normal Operation

Under normal operation, the blower motor relay coil receives a ground from the HVAC module through
circuit CH123 (VT/GN). The coil receives ignition voltage through circuit CBP45 (YE). Voltage is supplied
to the relay switch contact through circuit SBB06 (BN/RD). When the relay coil is energized, voltage is
delivered to the blower motor speed control through circuit CH402 (YE/GN). Ground for the blower motor
speed control is provided by circuit GD115 (BK/GY). Voltage for the motor is provided through circuit
VH301 (YE/BU) from the blower motor speed control. Ground for the motor is provided through circuit
VH219 (GY) from the blower motor speed control. The HVAC module sends a Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) signal to the blower motor speed control through circuit VH101 (WH/VT) to control the blower
speed.

Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Air Conditioning

The refrigerant system components include the following:

• Pulley-driven A/C compressor (non-hybrid)


• Electric A/C compressor (hybrid)
• A/C clutch assembly (non-hybrid)
• A/C condenser core
• A/C evaporator core
• Receiver/drier cartridge
• 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 (IC), which relays the request to the
PCM. An evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is used to disengage the A/C compressor clutch when
the evaporator core temperature falls below an acceptable temperature.

The A/C compressor clutch will only be engaged by the PCM if all of the following conditions are met:

• The HVAC module is set to a mode which provides an A/C request to the PCM via the IC .
• The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is reading an acceptable temperature.
• The A/C pressure transducer is reading an acceptable pressure in the high side of the refrigerant
system.
• The A/C compressor relay is switched to the closed position by the PCM.
• The engine coolant temperature is not excessively high.
• The PCM has not detected a Wide Open Throttle (WOT) condition.

NOTE: To prevent erroneous readings that can result from underhood heat sources, the PCM uses data from
several sources to calculate ambient temperature. The vehicle must be driven for a sufficient time, speed and
distance after startup before the calculated ambient temperature is updated in the PCM. If a vehicle is moved
from a below-freezing environment to a warm environment (such as being moved from outside into a garage
or when delivered from a cold climate to a warm climate), the minimal amount of driving may not be
sufficient for the calculated ambient temperature to be updated. In this event, the PCM will believe the
ambient temperature is too low for A/C operation and, to prevent an increased risk of compressor slugging or
damage, will not engage the A/C compressor in any mode. To manually reset the PCM calculated ambient
temperature to the current temperature, run the vehicle until the thermostat opens and then clear the PCM
Keep Alive Memory (KAM). For the KAM resetting procedure, refer to Powertrain Control/Emissions
Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual. When the PCM KAM is reset, the ambient temperature will reset to the current
higher value (a value closer to actual surrounding conditions) and the A/C compressor will operate normally.

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 - Non-Hybrid

Air Conditioning 5015


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
NOTE: Internal A/C compressor components are not serviced separately. The A/C compressor is serviced
only as an assembly. The clutch disc and hub, A/C compressor pulley and bearing and clutch field coil are
serviceable.

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 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 standard oil matching procedures when installing new compressors

5 19D784 A/C compressor pulley
6 W712301 A/C clutch field coil snap ring
7 1998 A/C clutch field coil
When battery voltage is applied to the A/C compressor clutch field coil, the clutch plate 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.

Electric A/C Compressor - Hybrid

NOTICE: Motorcraft® Electric Compressor Oil YN-32 only must be used as a refrigerant system
lubricant for hybrid vehicles. Addition of any oil other than Motorcraft® Electric Compressor Oil
YN-32 to the refrigerant system will damage the electric Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor and
contaminate the refrigerant system. For the Refrigerant Oil Adding procedure, refer to Section
412-00A .

Hybrid vehicles are equipped with a variable-speed electric A/C compressor that is powered by the
high-voltage traction battery system. The electric A/C compressor allows for A/C operation to continue even
when the vehicle is in full electric mode and the gasoline engine is not running. The Air Conditioning
Compressor Module (ACCM) is an integral part of the electric A/C compressor and cannot be removed from
the compressor.

Air Conditioning 5016


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

A/C Pressure Relief Valve

NOTE: If the A/C compressor is operating within limits and the A/C pressure relief valve is venting, or if the
A/C pressrelief valve is leaking around the threads, replace the A/C pressure relief valve and O-ring. If the
A/C pressure relief valve still vents after it is replaced, diagnose the refrigerant system for a restriction.

An A/C pressure relief valve is incorporated in the A/C compressor to prevent damage to the A/C compressor
and other system components by relieving unusually high system discharge pressure buildups. For
specifications regarding operating pressure(s), refer to Section 412-00A .

The A/C pressure relief valve is a separate component and can be replaced separately from the A/C
compressor. It is necessary to recover the refrigerant before removing the A/C pressure relief valve.

A/C Condenser

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 condenser core. The receiver/drier (desiccant)
cartridge is a separate component and can be removed and installed separately from the condenser core.

On 3.5L vehicles only, the top portion of the condenser/power steering combo cooler is partitioned from the
refrigerant system and is used for power steering fluid cooling.

Receiver/Drier Cartridge

NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier cartridge 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 cartridge. Damage to the receiver/drier cartridge includes physical damage 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 refrigerant system before repairs are carried out, the
receiver/drier cartridge does not need to be replaced.

The receiver/drier is integral to the A/C condenser. It stores high-pressure liquid after it leaves the condenser
core. A receiver/drier (desiccant) cartridge mounted inside the receiver/drier removes any retained moisture
from the refrigerant. The receiver/drier cartridge is a separate component and can be removed and installed
separately from the A/C condenser.

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 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. Air from
the blower motor is cooled and dehumidified as it flows through the evaporator core fins.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)

The TXV is located between the evaporator core inlet and outlet tubes and the TXV manifold and tube

Air Conditioning 5017


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
assembly at the 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 the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator core at higher temperatures.

Evaporator Discharge Air Temperature Sensor

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor contains a thermistor which receives a reference voltage from
the PCM. The thermistor then varies the resistance to the reference voltage based on the evaporator discharge
air temperature. The resulting voltage is returned to the PCM where it is interpreted as an evaporator
discharge air temperature reading.

The PCM maintains evaporator core temperature and prevents icing of the evaporator core, by disengaging the
A/C compressor clutch (non-hybrid) or decreasing the electric A/C compressor speed (hybrid) when the
evaporator discharge air temperature sensor reading falls below acceptable levels, and by engaging the A/C
compressor clutch (non-hybrid) or increasing the electric A/C compressor speed (hybrid) when the discharge
air temperature rises above acceptable levels.

The evaporator discharge air temperature sensor is located inside of the heater core and evaporator core
housing in the air-stream leaving the evaporator core.

A/C Pressure Transducer

The A/C pressure transducer monitors the compressor discharge pressure and sends a variable voltage signal
representing the pressure to the PCM. The PCM will interrupt A/C compressor operation (non-hybrid), or
decrease the electric A/C compressor speed (hybrid) 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 A/C compressor to operate.

The A/C pressure transducer is located on the high-pressure side of the TXV manifold and tube assembly near
the TXV fitting.

Service Gauge Port Valves

The high-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the condenser-to-evaporator line.

The low-pressure service gauge port valve is located on the TXV manifold and tube assembly.

The fitting is an integral part of the refrigeration 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.
• 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

NOTICE: Fluorescent refrigerant system dye mixed with PAG oil should never be added to hybrid
vehicle Air Conditioning (A/C) systems equipped with an electric A/C compressor. Addition of
fluorescent refrigerant system dye containing PAG oil will damage the electric A/C compressor and
contaminate the refrigerant system.

Fluorescent refrigerant system dye is added to the refrigerant system at the factory to assist in refrigerant
system leak diagnosis using a Rotunda-approved UV blacklight. It is not necessary to add additional dy 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 Section 412-00A .

For hybrid vehicles equipped with an electric compressor, additional refrigerant system dye should only be
added by installing a new receiver/drier cartridge. Replacement receiver/drier cartridges include a fluorescent
dye "wafer" which will dissolve after approximately one hour of continued A/C operation. Fluorescent
refrigerant system dye mixed with PAG oil should never be used in hybrid vehicles with an electric A/C
compressor.

Air Distribution and Filtering

NOTE: This vehicle is equipped from the factory with a cabin air filter. For filter maintenance intervals, refer
to Section 100-03 .

There are 2 sources of air available to the air distribution system:

• Outside air
• Recirculated air

Recirculated air is always used when the HVAC module is set to the MAX A/C mode on vehicles equipped
with Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC). Vehicles equipped with Electronic Automatic
Temperature Control (EATC) use recirculated air when the RECIRC function is selected in any mode other
than DEFROST, or when required by the HVAC module in the AUTOMATIC mode. On hybrid vehicles
only, the air inlet door may stop in a mid-position if required for increased cooling performance as determined
by the HVAC module.

Air distribution within the vehicle is determined by the EMTC system settings or the EATC system in the
AUTOMATIC mode. The air distribution mode on vehicles equipped with 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.

NOTE: For the passenger side temperature setting on hybrid vehicles equipped with a dual-zone Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) and a Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) built on or after
4/08/2009 to be functional, a passenger must be seated in the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat
is not occupied, the HVAC module will control the system based only on the driver side temperature setting.
The HVAC module receives a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) signal from the FCIM to
indicate if the front passenger seat is occupied.

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:

• instrument panel registers.


• floor duct.
• windshield defroster.
• side window demisters.
• rear footwell duct.

Passenger compartment air is exhausted from the vehicle through open windows or body air vents.

Control Components

Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC)

The Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC) components are used to select:

• 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

HVAC Module

The HVAC module integrates the temperature control, blower motor switch, airflow mode selection, A/C
request button, recirculated air request button and rear defog switch into a single unit.

The temperature control switch 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 air discharge temperature that the air distribution system will maintain. The temperature
control switch is an integral part of the HVAC module and cannot be installed separately.

The blower motor speed 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 speed switch is
an integral part of the HVAC module and cannot be installed separately.

The airflow mode setting determines air discharge location. Depressing each airflow mode selector button
causes a corresponding movement of the airflow mode doors and determines the air discharge location. The
airflow mode selector buttons are an integral part of the HVAC module and cannot be installed separately.

The A/C request button determines A/C compressor operation, except when the function selected is OFF,
MAX or DEFROST. 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 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.

Control System Outputs

The EMTC system has 3 system outputs.

Control Components 5023


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Blower Motor Speed

The blower motor speed 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 (4) position, the
blower motor resistor is bypassed.

The blower motor resistor is located on the heater core and evaporator core housing near the blower motor.

Temperature Blend Door Position

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 circuit is connected to a contact wiper, which is driven along
the variable resistor by the actuator shaft. The signal to the HVAC module from the contact wiper indicates
the position of the temperature blend door. The HVAC module powers the actuator motor to move the
temperature blend door to the desired position. The desired position is set by the vehicle occupants using the
temperature selector knob.

Airflow Mode Door Position

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 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 circuit is connected to a contact wiper, which is
driven along the variable resistor by the actuator shaft. The signal to the HVAC module from the contact
wiper indicates the position of the airflow mode doors. The HVAC module powers the actuator motor to move
the airflow mode doors to the desired position. The desired position is set by the vehicle occupants using the
mode selector buttons.

The airflow (defrost/panel/floor) mode door actuator is located on the heater core and evaporator core housing
to the right of the steering column.

Air Inlet Mode Door Position

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. The air inlet mode door does not stop at any point between the RECIRC or fresh air inlet position.

The air inlet mode door actuator is located on the air inlet duct near the RH cowl side panel.

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC)

The HVAC module analyzes input from the following major sources:

• Temperature, airflow direction, blower, A/C and RECIRC selection (made by the vehicle occupants)
• In-vehicle temperature sensor (non-hybrid)
• In-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor (hybrid)
• Ambient air temperature sensor
• Solar radiation sensor (sunload sensor)

Blower Motor Speed 5024


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

• Vehicle speed
• Engine coolant temperature
• Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) (hybrid only)

Using these inputs, the HVAC module determines the correct conditions for the following outputs:

• A/C compressor operation


• Blower motor speed
• RH and LH temperature blend door positions
• DEFROST/PANEL/FLOOR airflow mode door position
• Air inlet mode door position

Control System Inputs

The EATC system has 4 control system inputs.

HVAC Module - Without Navigation System

The HVAC module on vehicles not equipped with the navigation system provides an interface for the vehicle
occupants to control the climate control system, or automatically controls the system in the AUTO mode. The
Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) displays set temperature, airflow direction and blower speed.

The HVAC module is mounted to the center instrument panel finish panel below the Front Controls Interface
Module (FCIM).

HVAC Module - With Navigation System

Vehicles equipped with the navigation system use a remote HVAC module that is separate from the control
interface. The FCIM provides the interface for the vehicle occupants to control the climate control system.
When selections are made, the FCIM communicates the selections to the HVAC module over the Medium
Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The remote HVAC module controls the climate control system
based on the FCIM selections or will automatically control the climate control system in the AUTO mode.

The HVAC module is mounted to the instrument panel support behind the FCIM .

In-Vehicle Temperature Sensor - Non-Hybrid

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
evaporate 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 in the hose to draw in-vehicle air through
the in-vehicle temperature sensor (across the thermistor).

The in-vehicle temperature sensor is mounted to the instrument panel to the right of the steering column with
the aspirator hose connected to the heater core and evaporator core housing near the LH temperature blend
door actuator.

In-Vehicle Temperature and Humidity Sensor - Hybrid

The in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor contains 2 thermistors, which separately measure the
in-vehicle air temperature and humidity and send those readings to the HVAC module. The in-vehicle
temperature sensor has an integral electric fan within the sensor that draws in-vehicle air across the
thermistors.

Air Inlet Mode Door Position 5025


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The in-vehicle temperature and humidity sensor is mounted to the instrument panel to the right of the steering
column.

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.

Control System Outputs

The EATC system has 3 control system outputs.

NOTE: For the passenger side temperature setting on hybrid vehicles equipped with a dual-zone Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) and a Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) built on or after
4/08/2009 to be functional, a passenger must be seated in the front passenger seat. If the frontassenger seat is
not occupied, the HVAC module will control the system based only on the driver side temperature setting.
The HVAC module receives a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) signal from the FCIM to
indicate if the front passenger seat is occupied.

Blower Motor Speed

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. The HVAC module adjusts
blower motor speed based on the difference between the in-vehicle temperature sensor signal and set
temperature. A delay function is used to provide a gradual increase or decrease in blower motor speed under
all conditions.

The blower motor speed control is located on the heater core and evaporator core housing near the blower
motor.

Temperature Blend Door Positions

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 circuit is connected to a contact wiper, which is driven along
the variable resistor by the actuator shaft. The signal to the HVAC module from the contact wiper indicates
the position of the temperature blend door. The HVAC module powers the actuator motors to move the
temperature blend doors to the desired positions. The desired temperature blend door positions are calculated
by the HVAC module based on the set temperature, in-vehicle temperature, ambient temperature and sunload.

The LH temperature blend door actuator is located on the heater core and evaporator core housing near the
accelerator pedal. The RH temperature blend door actuator is located on the heater core and evaporator core
housing to the left of the glove compartment.

Airflow Mode Door Position

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

In-Vehicle Temperature and Humidity Sensor - Hybrid 5026


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
potentiometer. The potentiometer allows the HVAC module to monitor the position of the airflow mode
doors. 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 circuit is connected to a contact wiper, which is
driven along the variable resistor by the actuator shaft. The signal to the HVAC module from the contact
wiper indicates the position of the airflow mode doors. The HVAC module powers the actuator motor to move
the airflow mode doors to the desired position. The HVAC module determines the desired airflow mode door
position based on the calculated outlet temperature.

The airflow mode door actuator is located on the heater core and evaporator core housing to the right of the
accelerator pedal.

Air Inlet Mode Door Actuator - Non-hybrid

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. The air inlet mode door does not stop at any point between the RECIRC or fresh air inlet position.

The air inlet mode door actuator is located on the airnlet duct near the RH cowl side panel.

Air Inlet Mode Door Actuator - Hybrid

The air inlet mode door actuator moves the air inlet door between the fresh and RECIRC positions on
command from the HVAC module. The airflow mode door actuator contains a reversible electric motor and
potentiometer. The potentiometer allows the HVAC module to monitor the position of the air inlet mode door.
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 circuit is connected to a contact wiper, which is driven along

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

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 plenum.

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 the driver and passenger sides of the passenger compartment. Manual systems
and single-zone EATC systems use a single electric actuator-positioned temperature blend door to direct
airflow through or around the heater core.

Auxiliary Coolant Flow Pump

An auxiliary coolant flow pump is used only on hybrid vehicles to improve engine coolant circulation at low
engine speeds or when the engine is OFF.

The auxiliary coolant flow pump will be disabled when any of the following conditions are present:

• The climate control module is set to the OFF position.


• The ambient temperature is above 32°C (90°F).
• The coolant temperature is less than -10°C (14°F).
• The engine speed is above 4,000 rpm.

Air Inlet Mode Door Actuator - Hybrid 5028


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
When none of the listed conditions are present, the auxiliary coolant flow pump is controlled by a strategy
included in the PCM software. The control strategy monitors the ambient temperature, coolant temperature
and engine rpm. As the ambient temperature and/or coolant temperature increase, the auxiliary coolant flow
pump will shut down at lower engine speeds. For example, when both the ambient temperature is above 16°C
(60°F) and the engine coolant temperature is above 66°C (150°F), the control strategy will shut off the
auxiliary coolant flow pump at 2,000 rpm. When both the ambient temperature is above 24°C (75°F) and the
engine coolant temperature is above 66°C (150°F), the control strategy will shut off the auxiliary coolant flow
pump regardless of engine speed.

To verify auxiliary coolant flow pump operation, allow the vehicle to cool in a cool location. Start the engine
and let the engine idle until it shuts down automatically. Select the FLOOR mode on the HVAC module at the
highest temperature setting and HI blower speed. If the auxiliary coolant flow pump is inoperative or is not
producing adequate coolant flow, the passenger compartment air discharge temperature will quickly decrease
and further diagnosis is required. Refer to Section 412-00B . If the auxiliary coolant flow pump is operating
normally, the passenger compartment air discharge temperature will remain steady, or slowly decrease.

Removal and Installation

NOTICE: Motorcraft® Electric A/C Compressor Oil only must be used as a refrigerant system
lubricant for hybrid vehicles. Addition of any oil other than Motorcraft® Electric A/C Compressor Oil
to the hybrid vehicle refrigerant system will damage the electric Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor
and contaminate the refrigerant system. Refer to the Refrigerant Oil Adding procedure in Section
412-00A .

NOTICE: Use only the Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerant compressor oil specified for this vehicle
configuration. Use of any A/C refrigerant compressor oil other than what is specified will contaminate
and damage the A/C system.

NOTICE: Care must be taken to minimize exposure of the receiver/drier cartridge to outside air. If
multiple Air Conditioning (A/C) system components are being removed and installed, the receiver/drier
cartridge should be installed last. The new receiver/drier cartridge should not be removed from its
packaging until it is ready to be installed. Evacuation of the A/C system must be started as soon as the
receiver/drier cartridge is installed. Excessive exposure of the receiver/drier cartridge to outside air will
result in moisture contamination of the receiver/drier cartridge desiccant.

NOTE: Installation of a new receiver/drier cartridge 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 rec/drier
cartridge. Damage to the receiver/drier cartridge includes physical damage 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 refrigerant system before repairs are carried out, the
receiver/drier cartridge does not need to be replaced.

1. Recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Section 412-00A .

2. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer Section
100-02 .

Illumination Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Illumination is used to provide backlighting to the dimmable and non-dimmable switches and control
components.

If the exterior lamps are activated during daytime sunload conditions by the autolamp system, the Instrument
Panel Cluster (IPC) message center (non-Hybrid) or the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) (Hybrid), Audio
Control Module (ACM), Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), Front Display Interface Module (FDIM),
the 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 IPC message center (non-Hybrid) or the LCD (Hybrid), the ACM ,
the FCIM , the FDIM , the HVAC module and switches to change to the level set by the instrument panel
dimmer switch. The IPC message center (non-Hybrid) or the LCD (Hybrid), the ACM , the FCIM , the FDIM
, the HVAC module and switch illumination change back to full intensity when the intense ambient light is
restored.

Dimmable Backlighting

The dimmable switches and components are illuminated when the parking lamps are ON. The digital dimmer
switch is a double detent rocker switch used to control all dimmable interior illuminated components, and to
control the courtesy lamps. The first up detent increases dimmable backlighting intensity. The first down
detent decreases dimmable backlighting intensity.

The second up detent turns on the courtesy lamps. The second down detent turns the courtesy lamps off unless
other features are still requesting the courtesy lamps on.

The dimmable switches and components consist of:

• Ambient lighting/traction control switch (if equipped) (Fusion)


• Ambient lighting select switch (if equipped) (MKZ)
• Ambient lighting dimmer switch (if equipped) (MKZ)
• Audio Control Module (ACM)
• Luggage compartment lid release switch
• Door lock control switches (MKZ)
• Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM)
• Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)
• Hazard flasher lamp switch (Fusion)
• Headlamp switch
• HVAC module
• Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
• Instrument panel dimmer switch
• Memory set switch (MKZ)
• Message center switch (Fusion)
• Speed control switches
• Steering wheel audio control switches
• Floor shifter
• Window control switches (MKZ)

Principles of Operation

Dimmable Backlighting

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

When the parking lamps are on, the SJB sends a pulse-width modulated voltage to the hardwired 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), Front Controls
Interface Module (FCIM), Front Display Interface Module (FDIM), the HVAC module, and the Instrument
Panel Cluster (IPC) 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 a DTC in continuous memory and
defaults the backlighting to full nighttime intensity.

Fixed Backlighting

For Fusion, when the accessory delay relay is energized, switched voltage is supplied to the window control
and door lock control switches.

For MKZ, when the accessory delay relay is energized, switched voltage is supplied to the roof opening panel
switch and the cigar lighter.

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that when used with module software can be used to
monitor and control current flow on module outputs. The FET protection strategy is used to prevent module
damage in the event of excessive current flow.

Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination 5119


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, a 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 event is detected. A continuous
DTC is stored at the fault event and a cumulative counter is started.

When the demand for the output is no longer present, the module resets the FET circuit protection to allow the
circuit to function. The next time the driver requests a circuit to activate that has been shut down by a previous
short ( FET protection) and the circuit remains shorted, the FET protection shuts off the circuit again and the
cumulative counter advances.

When the excessive circuit load occurs often enough, the module shuts down the output until a repair
procedure is carried out. Each FET protected circuit has 3 predefined levels of short circuit tolerance based on
the harmful effect of each circuit fault on the FET and the ability of the FET to withstand it. A module
lifetime level of fault events is established based upon the durability of the FET . If the total tolerance level is
determined to be 600 fault events, the 3 predefined levels would be 200, 400 and 600 fault events.

When each tolerance level is reached, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure cannot be
cleared 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 self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the
self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), DTC B106E and the associated
continuous DTC (the DTC related to the shorted circuit) automatically clears and the circuit function returns.

When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC (associated with the short circuit) sets along
with DTC B106E. These DTCs can be cleared using the module on-demand self-test, then the Clear DTC
operation on the scan tool (if the on-demand test shows the fault corrected). The module never resets the fault
event counter to zero and continues to advance the fault event counter as short circuit fault events occur.

If the number of short circuit fault events reach the third level, then DTCs B106F and B1342 set along with
the associated continuous DTC. This DTC cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced.

The SJB FET protected output circuit for the instrument panel illumination system is the backlighting output
circuit.

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends voltage signals to the instrument panel dimmer switch to monitor a
request to turn up the dimmable lighting, turn down the dimmable lighting and to turn the courtesy lamps on
or off. When the instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in the first detent up or down, the corresponding
input signal is routed to ground indicating a request to turn the dimmable lighting up or down. When the
instrument panel dimmer switch is pressed to the second detent, the dome lamp request input circuit is routed
to ground in addition to the dimmer up or dimmer down input circuit. The SJB needs a dimmer up/down input
circuit and the dome lamp request input circuit to turn the courtesy lamps on or off from the instrument panel
dimmer switch.

When the parking lamps or headlamps are ON, the Smart Junction Box (SJB) monitors the input from the
instrument panel dimmer switch to increase or decrease the dimmable lighting intensity.

If the dim up/dim down or the dome lamp request input circuit is shorted to ground for longer than 17
seconds, the SJB defaults the backlighting to full nighttime brightness.

Non-Hybrid

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) contains gauges, informational indicators, warning indicators, message
center and message center indicators (MKZ only) that are designed to provide the driver with a system status
and to er that certain conditions exist in the vehicle.

The IPC uses a message center display area for basic informational items such as the odometer, trip odometer,
text-based messages and for message center warning indicator displays.

Startup (Welcome) Mode

The IPC provides a startup mode also known as a welcome strategy. When the vehicle receives a Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) request, the IPC illuminates the gauge pointers and graduation bars. When the key is
inserted into the ignition switch, the IPC illuminates only the graduation bars. When the ignition is placed into
the RUN or START position, the IPC begins its prove-out stage.

During the prove-out stage, the IPC sweeps then zeros all gauges while illuminating all LED indicators for a
predetermined time.

Hybrid

The hybrid Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) contains gauges, informational indicators, warning indicators,
message center and message center indicators that are designed to provide the driver with a system status and
to alert the driver that certain conditions exist in the vehicle. The instrument cluster uses digital displays for
all non-text information except the speedometer. The speedometer is the only analog gauge used.

The IPC uses a message center display area for basic informational items such as the odometer, trip odometer,

Hybrid 5144
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

text-based messages and message center warning indicator displays.

Startup (Welcome) Mode

The IPC provides a startup mode also known as a welcome strategy. When the vehicle receives a Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) request, the IPC begins the wake up sequence by illuminating the display areas on the
RH and LH sides of the speedometer in ice blue followed by the grass and cloud image on each display area
when the driver door is opened.

When the key is placed into the ignition, the speedometer pointer illuminates for approximately 30 seconds or
until the key is transitioned to the RUN position.

Once the key is transitioned to the RUN position, the IPC continues the startup sequence through a series of
stages that sweep and zero the speedometer, while illuminating the remaining gauges and digital displays
starting at the center and moving outward. During this phase, the digital gauges sweep from zero or the lowest
position to the highest position then return to display the current input value. The IPC also carries out the bulb
prove-out during this phase of the startup mode.

As part of the startup mode, the IPC displays the Press Info to View Demo for the first 800 km (500 miles).
From 800 km (500 miles) to 1,600 km (1,000 miles), the IPC displays Demo and Tutorial Can Be Started
Within SETUP Mode . After 1,600 km (1,000 miles), the text disappears from the startup mode but the demo
mode remains selectable through the setup menu.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Information And Message Center

The message center is a fixed format display, integrated into the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The message
center functions are controlled by the message center switch. The message center displays important vehicle
information by constantly monitoring different vehicle systems and informs the driver of vehicle operations,
notifying the driver of potential vehicle problems by displaying a warning message pertaining to the system in
which a fault has been detected.

The message center switch is located as follows:

• For MKZ, in the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM).


• For hybrid and Fusion non-hybrid, on the LH side of the steering wheel incorporated into the steering
wheel switch.

The message center provides the following features:

• Information displays
• Setup displays
• System check messages
• System warning messages

The message center information is selected through a set of 3 buttons:

• INFO
• SETUP
• RESET

Message Center Configuration

The message center has the capability to configure items such as units (English or metric), autolamp delay, to
enable/disable a variety of options such as autolock, auto-unlock and easy entry/easy exit (if equipped).

On configurable items such as autolock, auto-unlock or easy entry/easy exit, the message center indicates the
appropriate selection (ON/OFF) by bracketing the selection. For example, if the driver selects the autolock
feature on, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK â ©ON> OFF. If the driver selects the
autolock off, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK ON â ©OFF>.

Oil Change Minder

NOTE: On early build vehicles, the PCM uses time and distance calculations stored in Keep Alive Memory
(KAM) in the PCM to help determine the oil change minder status. If the PCM KAM is reset or lost for any
reason (battery disconnect, PCM disconnect or dead battery), the oil change minder is disabled and the oil life
reset procedure needs to be carried out through the message center to re-enable the oil minder function.

The message center provides an oil change minder to inform the driver that an oil change is required. The
duration of the interval between oil changes is calculated in the PCM based an a maximum mileage of 16,093
km (10,000 miles) or 1 year for normal driving. The PCM calculates and provides an oil life status message to
the IPC . The IPC further converts the remaining oil life using the driver's configured oil life start value and
displays the oil life percentage, indicating the remaining oil life. The oil change minder can be reset at any
time by the driver. Refer to Message Center Configuration in this section.

Oil Life and Oil Life Start Value

The oil life is displayed in percentages. The oil life start value is used to increase or decrease the starting point
of the oil life. The oil life start value can be changed back to the maximum of approximately 16,093 km
(10,000 miles) if the value was previously changed or to lower the value by 10% increments down to 10%.
Each 10% reduction lowers the oil life in both mileage and time (days).

Compass Display

Vehicles Without Navigation

The compass signal originates from the compass module, which is integrated into the auto-dimming interior
mirror.

The compass reading is incorporated into the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM).

The vehicle heading is displayed as a 1 or 2 character display located in the upper RH side of the FDIM and
indicates the current direction of the vehicle (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW). The compass continuously
re-calibrates due to changes in the magnetic field and remains accurate during most driving conditions.

On Fusion, the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) buttons that allow the driver to operate (change) the
calibration and zone setting procedures are located below the FDIM .

On MKZ, the buttons that allow the driver to operate (change) the calibration and zone setting procedures are
located on the FDIM .

The compass display is on with the ignition in the ON or START position. When the ignition is first turned to
the ON or START position, there is a momentary delay of approximately 6 seconds before the compass
display illuminates. If the battery saver has been activated and the ignition is turned to ON or START, the
momentary delay before the compass display illuminates is approximately 3 seconds. The compass display
turns off as soon as the ignition is turned to the OFF or ACC position.

Vehicles With Navigation

The compass signal originates from the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna. No calibration or zone
adjustment is available, as the compass heading is based on the GPS signal. Refer to Section 415-00 for
information on the GPS signal.

Compass Accuracy (Without Navigation)

Driving near power lines, or driving in the area of large iron or steel structures can temporarily change the
compass heading. If the compass remains inaccurate after driving near such objects, calibrate the compass.
Refer to Compass Calibration in this section.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the northerly
direction on maps. This variation is 4 degrees between the adjacent zones and becomes noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting eliminates the error. Refer to Compass Zone
Adjustment in this section.

System Warning Messages

System warnings alert the operator to possible problems or malfunctions in the vehicle operating system.
When multiple warnings are displayed, the message center cycles all the warnings by displaying each one for
several seconds. The system warning messages are displayed in the LH side of the IPC .

All warning messages are considered as active or non-active. Active warnings are those where the monitored
system detects a current fault condition. Once the fault condition is corrected, the warning then becomes
non-active. Both active and non-active warnings can be reset but if the warning is active, it continues to be
displayed once it is reset.

All new warnings along with any associated message center warning indicators are displayed in a large format
for 2 seconds and cannot be reset until the 2 second time has elapsed. Once the 2 seconds has elapsed, the
warning can be reset by pressing the RESET button. Once the RESET button is pressed, the warning is
considered an old warning and is displayed in a smaller format. If there are multiple warnings present, each
warning displays (2 seconds for new warnings and 4 seconds for old warnings) in the order the message center
received the warnings.

The message center displays the temperature gauge and PRNDL once all messages are reset and there are no
more new warning messages. This allows full functionality of the message center by pressing the message
center switch RESET button to clear the warning message. Warning messages that have been reset are divided
into 2 categories where the message:

• Returns every 10 minutes


• Returns every key cycle

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Warning Chimes

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The warning chimes are designed to provide the driver with an audible warning that acts as a supplemental
alert. The only deviation from this strategy is the air bag chime which is used to alert the driver that the
primary alerting system (air bag warning indicator) does not operate. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
controls all warning chimes based on messages received from external modules.

The warning chime system consists of the following:

• IPC
• Key-in-ignition warning switch (part of the ignition switch)
• Restraints Control Module (RCM)
• SJB

The following chimes are controlled by the IPC :

• Air bag warning


• Belt-Minder®
• Door ajar
• Headlamps on
• Hybrid electric vehicle engine off reminder
• Key-in-ignition
• Message center
• Parking brake on
• Perimeter alarm
• Safety belt warning
• ServiceRoll Stability Control (RSC®) warning
• Turn signal/hazard
• Turn signal left on
• Memory feedback (if equipped)

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

NOTE: When installing a new Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), it is necessary to upload the module
configuration to the scan tool. Following installation of the IPC , download the module configuration from the
scan tool into the new IPC . Refer to Section 418-01 to carry out the Programmable Module Installation
(PMI). It is also necessary to carry out a parameter reset procedure whenever a new IPC or PCM (non-hybrid)
or Transmission Control Module (TCM) (hybrid) is installed. Refer to Section 419-01B .

The IPC utilizes a microprocessor to control the gauge, indicator, message center and warning chime
functions. Data is sent to the IPC over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) and the High
Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus lines and through hardwired circuitry from individual
components. The IPC uses each input to output an action to the gauges or indicators.

It is very important to understand:

• where the input originates.


• all the information necessary in order for a feature to operate.
• which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.
• does the module which received the input control the output of the feature, or does it output a message
over the communication network to another module.
• which module controls the output of the feature.

Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes 5160


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
IPC Gateway Function

The IPC acts as a gateway module by receiving information in one format and transmitting it to other modules
using another format. For example, the IPC receives the vehicle speed data from the PCM over the HS-CAN ,
converts the data into an MS-CAN message and sends (gateways) the message to other network modules such
as the HVAC module, the Audio Front Control Module (ACM) and the SJB . This enables network
communication between modules that do not communicate using the same network ( HS-CAN or the
MS-CAN ).

IPC Network Messages

The IPC uses input messages from other modules to control the gauges, informational indicators and warning
indicators over the communication networks. If a required message is missing or invalid for less than 5
seconds, the gauge or indicator that requires the message remains at the last commanded state based upon the
last known good message. For example, if the brake status message is missing for less than 5 seconds and the
brake warning indicator was on, the indicator remains in the on state until the next good message is received.
If the message remains missing or invalid for greater than 5 seconds, the IPC sets a U-code DTC and the
output becomes a default action for the indicator or gauge. Each indicator or gauge utilizes a different default
strategy depending on the nature of the indication. Refer to the normal operation descriptions located before
each individual pinpoint test for further description of the default action specific to each indicator or gauge. If
the messaged input to the cluster returns at any time, the normal function of the gauge or indicator resumes.

NOTE: Whenever a network message is suspected as missing and confirmed by a missing message DTC
(U-code), it is important to look for other symptoms that may also be present in the IPC and throughout the
vehicle. Once a DTC is set in the IPC , it may be helpful to review the complete message list available in
Section 418-00 to see what other modules also rely on the same message and run the self-test for those
modules. If the message is missing from other modules, the same DTC may also be set in those modules.
Confirmation of missing messages common to multiple modules may indicate that the originating module is
the source of the concern or the communication network may be experiencing some problems.

IPC Configuration

The IPC contains items that are configurable. Configurable items include customer preference items, which
can also be set with a scan tool. The remaining configurable items can be set only through the PMI procedure
or by using As-Built data. Refer to Section 418-01 .

Information And Message Center

The message center is an integral part of the IPC that receives and acts upon much of the same information
that is input and used to operate the IPC gauges, informational indicators, warning indicators and warning
chimes. For all vehicles except hybrid, the message center is a 2-line display located in the center of the IPC .
On hybrid vehicles, the message center is split between the LH and RH side of the IPC with the controls
displayed on the LH side and instructions displayed on the RH side. The hybrid message center also uses
message center indicators either as stand alone indications or combined with text messages and are displayed
in the LH display area.

All message center functions are controlled by a 3-button message center switch, which is hardwired to the
IPC . The message center switch consists of 3 buttons and a resistor ladder with a different resistor associated
with each switch button. The IPC sends out a reference voltage to the message center switch and monitors the
voltage drop that results from the voltage flowing through the resistor when a message center button is
pressed. The voltage drop will vary depending upon the resistance of each button, providing a specific
indication to the IPC which switch is pressed.

NOTE: Compass zone adjustment and calibration proceedures are only applicable to vehicles without
navigation. For vehicles with navigation, refer to Section 415-00 .

Compass

The compass display (located in the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)) receives battery voltage from
the SJB . The compass module (integral to the auto-dimming interior mirror) provides hardwired vehicle
directional inputs to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), which sends the compass information to the FDIM
over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The compass is capable of self-calibrating.
This decreases the need to manually set the compass. If the compass is displaying a heading (and not
displaying the C or CAL indicator), the compass is in auto-calibration mode. In this mode, the compass
automatically calibrates for changes in vehicle magnetics over the life of the vehicle. This auto-calibration
mode makes sure the compass heading is always accurate. If the compass displays the C or CAL indicator for
an extended period of time (longer than 5 seconds), this indicates the compass has been placed in the manual
calibration mode and therefore, requires manual calibration. Refer to Compass Calibration in this section.

Warning Chimes

The IPC uses inputs that are hardwired to individual components and messages that are sent from the other
modules over the HS-CAN or MS-CAN to control the warning chime functions.

Warning Chime Characteristics

Each warning chime has unique characteristics to identify and differentiate each warning chime. The warning
chimes use volume, chime frequency, length of time the chime sounds and the number of chime tones to
identify which chime is sounding. The IPC prioritizes the chimes according to a preset hierarchy programmed
into the IPC software. When more than one chime request is received by the IPC , the most important chime
sounds. If a lower priority chime is currently sounding, the higher priority request takes over and replaces the
lower priority chime.

There are 3 different chimes as listed below:

• Repetitive
• Single tone
• Tick-tock

Compass 5165
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
The following table provides a summary of the chime characteristics.

Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Chime Characteristics

Chime
Chime Name Type Condition/Description
Air bag Repetitive Consists of five sets of chime sequences that make up a chime cycle. Each
chime sequence consists of 5 1-second chime tones followed by a 5 second
delay. The IPC sounds 5 chime sequences then turns off the air bag chime
for approximately 30 minutes. If the condition still exists, the air bag chime
repeats the chime cycle.
Belt-Minder® A/B Repetitive The chime sounds 6 chime tones/safety belt warning indicator flash
sequences for as long as the IPC receives the Belt-Minder® chime request.
Door ajar Repetitive The chime sounds repetitive tones for as long as the IPC receives a dooajar
chime command.
Headlamps on Repetitive The chime sounds repetitive tones for as long as the headlamps or the
parking lamps are on and the IPC receives the chime on command.
Hybrid Electric Repetitive The chime sounds 5 chime tones with the ignition in RUN, the transaxle in
Vehicle (HEV) PARK (P) and the driver door open or ajar.
engine off
Key-in-ignition Repetitive The chime sounds repetitive tones for as long as the key is in the ignition
with the ignition in OFF or ACC and the driver door is ajar.
Memory feedback Single This is a single tone chime that sounds when the IPC receives a chime
command as confirmation that the memory seat has been successfully set.
Message center Single This is a single tone chime that sounds once per ignition cycle whenever the

Warning Chime Characteristics 5166


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Air Bag Secondary Warning Chime

The air bag secondary warning chime warns that the air bag warning indicator light does not work correctly
and that a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) fault condition exists. The IPC monitors the air bag warning
indicator status internally. When a fault is present in the air bag warning indicator and the IPC receives an air
bag warning indicator on request from the Restraints Control Module (RCM), the air bag secondary warning
chime sounds.

The air bag secondary warning chime sounds for 1 second on then 1 second off for 5 seconds (5 1-second
chime tones) then pauses for 5 seconds and repeats the chime on/off sequence for 5 minutes. The IPC then
turns off the air bag chime for approximately 30 minutes and repeats the cycle if the condition still exists.

The air bag secondary warning chime inputs are:

• Ignition state.
• Air bag warning indicator chime request communicated by the RCM to the IPC .

Belt-Minder®

The Belt-Minder® is configurable. To configure without using a scan tool, refer to Belt-Minder®
Deactivating/Activating in this section.

The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the current safety belt warning function and is enabled after the
current safety belt warning is complete. The Belt-Minder® reminds the driver that the driver or passenger
safety belt is unbuckled by intermittently and simultaneously sounding a chime and illuminating the safety
belt warning indicator in the IPC once the vehicle speed has exceeded 9.7 km/h (6 mph). The Belt-Minder®
remains active for 5 minutes from the time it is started.

While activated, the Belt-Minder® chime provides a series of 6 chime/safety belt warning indicator flash
sequences that when combined, make up a chime cycle. Each chime/safety belt warning indicator sequence
consists of a 1-second chime tone and safety belt warning indicator on/off state. The Belt-Minder® chime and
the safety belt warning indicator sound and flash for 6 seconds, then the chime stops and the safety belt
warning indicator remains on for 30 seconds. The IPC repeats the chime cycle for 5 minutes.

If the vehicle speed drops below 5 km/h (3 mph) once the Belt-Minder® chime has activated, the chime turns
off and the safety belt warning indicator remains on. When the vehicle speed exceeds (6 mph) again, the
Belt-Minder® chime resumes.

The IPC also provides a toll booth feature which allows the driver or passenger to unbuckle their safety belt
after the safety belts were initially buckled, providing 1 minute without warnings after the vehicle exceeds 9.7
km/h (6 mph) again with a safety belt unbuckled.

NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is operated using MyKey®, the RCM enables the Belt-Minder®.

When MyKey® is in use, the driver cannot configure the Belt-Minder® off. Once the Belt-Minder® is
activated, the Belt-Minder® continues to chime periodically (does not time out after 5 minutes) and the audio
system is muted until the driver and passenger safety belts are fastened. Refer to Section 419-01B for more
information on the MyKey® feature.

The Belt-Minder® warning chime inputs are the:

• Ignition state.
• Driver or passenger safety belt warning chime request communicated by the RCM to the IPC through
the HS-CAN .
• Safety belt warning indicator request communicated by the RCM to the IPC through the HS-CAN .

Pinpoint Test A: The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Instrument Cluster for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

With the ignition in the START or RUN mode, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives voltage from the
Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 29 (5A). With the ignition in the OFF mode, the IPC receives its keep-alive
voltage from the SJB fuse 26 (10A). The IPC grounding is through a single ground. The IPC sets DTC
U300A:62 in continuous memory and on-demand if the RUN/START input is open or if the SJB fuse 29 (5A)
has failed.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Fuse(s)
• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• IPC

PINPOINT TEST A: THE IPC IS INOPERATIVE

Pinpoint Test B: Incorrect Fuel Gauge Indication - Single Sender L-Shaped Fuel Tank

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Instrument Cluster for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The fuel pump module is hardwired to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) between the signal circuit and the
signal return circuit, which is grounded internally within the IPC . The fuel level sender (float and card) is a
variable resistor attached to the fuel pump module that ranges from 180 ohms ± 4 ohms at empty (E) and 10
ohms ± 2 ohms at full (F). The IPC provides a reference voltage to the fuel pump module on the signal circuit.
Ae fuel level changes, a float actuates a variable resistor on the fuel level sender (float and card), raising or
lowering the fuel level signal voltage depending on the resistance of the fuel level sender. The IPC monitors
the changes in voltage and commands the fuel gauge with a corresponding movement of the pointer.

On flex-fuel vehicles, basic fuel level indication is the same as gasoline vehicles, except that the flex-fuel
vehicles require a DC-AC interface (internal to the IPC ), used to prevent chemical reactions created by the
interaction of A/C current with the fuel.

Normal Operation 5187


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The IPC uses 4 different operating modes to calculate the fuel level:

• Anti-slosh (default mode)


• Ignition OFF fueling
• Ignition ON fueling
• Recovery

After a fuel fill up, the time for the fuel gauge to move from empty (E) to full (F) ranges from 2 seconds to 55
minutes depending on which operating mode the fuel gauge is in.

Anti-Slosh Mode

The default fuel gauge mode is called the anti-slosh mode. To prevent fuel gauge changes from fuel slosh
(gauge instability due to changes in fuel sensor readings caused by fuel moving around in the tank), the fuel
gauge takes approximately 55 minutes to go from empty (E) to full (F).

Key OFF Fueling Mode

The ignition OFF fueling mode (2 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires 3 conditions be met:

• The ignition must be in the OFF mode when refueling the vehicle.
• At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.
• The IPC must receive a valid ignition ON fuel sensor reading within one second of the ignition being
put into the RUN mode. The key ON sample readings are considered valid if the fuel sensor reading is
between 10 ohms ± 2 ohms and 180 ohms ± 4 ohms.

If these conditions are not met, the fuel gauge stays in the anti-slosh mode, which results in a slow to read full
(F) event.

Key ON Fueling Mode

The ignition ON fueling mode (approximately 60 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires the following
conditions be met:

• Engine speed greater than 0 rpm.


• The transaxle is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
• The ignition is in the RUN mode.
• At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.

In ignition ON fueling mode, a 30-second timer activates after the transaxle is put into the PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) position. When the 30-second time has elapsed and at least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity
has been added, the fuel gauge response time is 60 seconds to read from empty (E) to full (F). When the
transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), the fuel gauge strategy reverts to the anti-slosh mode.
The ignition ON fueling mode prevents slow to read full events from happening if the customer refuels the
vehicle with the ignition in the RUN mode.

Recovery Mode

Recovery mode is incorporated into the IPC strategy to recover from a missing fuel level input after a
refueling event. Missing fuel level inputs result from intermittent opens in the fuel sensor or its circuits.
Recovery mode (empty [E] to full [F] approximately 20 minutes) is initiatewhen the following 2 conditions
are met:

• The IPC is in the anti-slosh (default) mode.


• The actual fuel level in the tank is greater than what is being displayed by the fuel gauge.

Pinpoint Test C: Incorrect Fuel Gauge Indication - Dual Sender Saddle-Type Fuel Tank

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Instrument Cluster for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The fuel tank is a saddle tank design with 2 variable resistance senders, driven by floats, that provide
resistances related to fuel level in each side of the fuel tank to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The fuel
level is determined using variable resistance fuel sender units, with an approximate resistance range between
180 ohms ± 4 ohms at empty (E) and 10 ohms ± 2 ohms at full (F). The IPC provides a reference voltage to
the fuel pump module (LH side) and fuel level sensor (RH side) through individual signal circuits and
receives a return through the signal return circuits from both the fuel pump module and fuel level sensor. As
the fuel level changes, a float actuates a variable resistor on the fuel pump module and fuel level sensor,
raising or lowering the fuel level signal voltage depending on the resistance of the fuel level sender (flt and
card). The IPC monitors the changes in voltage from both senders and commands the fuel gauge with a
corresponding movement of the pointer. If the IPC detects the fuel level sensor circuitry is open, the fuel
gauge defaults to the fuel pump module value only and the fuel gauge indicates empty (E). If the IPC detects
the fuel pump module circuitry is open, the fuel gauge defaults to the empty position.

On flex-fuel vehicles, basic fuel level indication is the same as gasoline vehicles, except that the flex-fuel
vehicles require a DC-AC interface (internal to the IPC ), used to prevent chemical reactions created by the
interaction of A/C current with the fuel.

The IPC uses 4 different operating modes to calculate the fuel level:

• Anti-slosh (default mode)


• Ignition OFF fueling
• Ignition ON fueling
• Recovery

After a fuel fill up, the time for the fuel gauge to move from empty (E) to full (F) ranges from 2 seconds to 55
minutes depending on which operating mode the fuel gauge is in.

Anti-Slosh Mode

The default fuel gauge mode is called the anti-slosh mode. To prevent fuel gauge changes from fuel slosh
(gauge instability due to changes in fuel sensor readings caused by fuel moving around in the tank), the fuel
gauge takes approximately 55 minutes to go from empty (E) to full (F).

Key OFF Fueling Mode

The ignition OFF fueling mode (2 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires 3 conditions be met:

• The ignition must be in the OFF mode when refueling the vehicle.
• At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.
• The IPC must receive a valid ignition ON fuel sensor reading within one second of the ignition being
put into the RUN mode. The key ON sample readings are considered valid if the fuel sensor reading is

Normal Operation 5196


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
between 10 ohms ± 2 ohms and 180 ohms ± 4 ohms.

If these conditions are not met, the fuel gauge stays in the anti-slosh mode, which results in a slow to read full
(F) event.

Key ON Fueling Mode

The ignition ON fueling mode (approximately 60 seconds to read empty [E] to full [F]) requires the following
conditions be met:

• Engine speed greater than 0 rpm.


• The transaxle is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
• The ignition is in the RUN mode.
• At least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity must be added to the fuel tank.

In ignition ON fueling mode, a 30-second timer activates after the transaxle is put into the PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) position. When the 30-second time has elapsed and at least 15% of the vehicle's fuel capacity
has been added, the fuel gauge response time is 60 seconds to read from empty (E) to full (F). When the
transaxle is shifted out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), the fuel gauge strategy reverts to the anti-slosh mode.
The ignition ON fueling mode prevents slow to read full events from happening if the customer refuels the
vehicle with the ignition in the RUN mode.

Recovery Mode

Recovery mode is incorporated into the IPC strategy to recover from a missing fuel level input after a
refueling event. Missing fuel level inputs result from intermittent opens in the fuel sensor or its circuits.
Recovery mode (empty [E] to full [F] approximately 20 minutes) is initiated when the following 2 conditions
are met:

• The IPC is in the anti-slosh (default) mode.


• The actual fuel level in the tank is greater than what is being displayed by the fuel gauge.

Pinpoint Test D: The Temperature Gauge Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

The PCM uses the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor to measure the engine temperature. The
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the engine temperature data from the PCM over the High Speed
Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. The IPC monitors the engine temperature data
received from the PCM and commands the temperature gauge indication with a corresponding movement of
the pointer.

The non-hybrid and hybrid temperature gauges appear differently but essentially function the same. The
non-hybrid gauge is an analog gauge with a needle that points to a specified area of the gauge depending on

Normal Operation 5207


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
the data received from the PCM. The hybrid gauge is a digital display that appears as a thermometer. The fill
color of the thermometer is blue when the temperature is between the cold and normal ranges. When the
temperature indicates an overheating condition, the fill color turns to red.

If the engine temperature data is missing for 5 seconds or less or if the IPC receives invalid engine
temperature data for 5 seconds or less, the IPC defaults the temperature gauge to the last setting, based upon
the last known good temperature status message. If the IPC does not receive the engine temperature status
message for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the
temperature gauge to cold (C). If the engine temperature data is deemed invalid by the IPC for 5 seconds or
more, the IPC sets DTC U0401:68 and defaults the temperature gauge to cold (C).

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative tachometer,

Pinpoint Test E: Incorrect Temperature Gauge Indication

Normal Operation

The PCM uses the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor to measure the engine temperature. The
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the engine temperature data from the PCM over the High Speed
Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. The IPC monitors the engine temperature data
received from the PCM and commands the temperature gauge indication with a corresponding movement of
the pointer.

The non-hybrid and hybrid temperature gauges appear differently but essentially function the same. The
non-hybrid gauge is an analog gauge with a needle that points to a specified area of the gauge depending on
the data received from the PCM. The hybrid gauge is a digital display that appears as a thermometer. The fill
color of the thermometer is blue when the temperature is between the cold and normal ranges. When the
temperature indicates an overheating condition, the fill color turns to red.

Pinpoint Test F: The Speedometer Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal from the PCM
(non-hybrid) or from the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (hybrid) over the High Speed Controller Area
Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. The PCM or TCM receives the VSS input from the Output Shaft
Speed (OSS). The IPC monitors the VSS input from the PCM or TCM and commands the speedometer with a
corresponding movement of the pointer.

If the vehicle speed data is missing for 5 seconds or less or if the IPC receives invalid vehicle speed data for 5
seconds or less, the IPC defaults the speedometer to the last setting, based upon the last known good vehicle
speed message. If the IPC does not receive the vehicle speed data for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC
U0100:00 (non-hybrid) or U0101:00 (hybrid) in continuous memory and defaults the speedometer to 0 km/h
(0 mph). If the vehicle speed data received is deemed invalid by the IPC for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets
DTC U0401:68 (non-hybrid) or U0402:68 and defaults the speedometer to 0 km/h (0 mph).

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative tachometer,

Pinpoint Test G: Incorrect Speedometer Indication

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal from the PCM
(non-hybrid) or from the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (hybrid) over the High Speed Controller Area
Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. The PCM or TCM receives the VSS input from the Output Shaft
Speed (OSS). The IPC monitors the VSS input from the PCM or TCM and commands the speedometer with a
corresponding movement of the pointer.

The IPC provides a tolerance which biases the speed indication and displays between 3% below and 7%
higher than actual vehicle speed. This means that with an actual vehicle speed of 96.6 km/h (60 mph), the
speedometer may indicate between 93.7-103.3 km/h (58.2-64.2 mph). Other factors that could potentially
affect the speedometer accuracy are incorrect tire size, tire size configuration and axle ratio configuration.

If the vehicle speed data is missing for 5 seconds or less or if the IPC receives invalid vehicle speed data for 5
seconds or less, the IPC defaults the speedometer to the last setting, based upon the last known good vehicle
speed message. If the IPC does not receive the vehicle speed data for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC
U0100:00 (non-hybrid) or U0101:00 (hybrid) in continuous memory and defaults the speedometer to 0 km/h
(0 mph). If the vehicle speed data received is deemed invalid by the IPC for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets
DTC U0401:68 (non-hybrid) or U0402:68 and defaults the speedometer to 0 km/h (0 mph).

Factors that could potentially affect the accuracy of the speedometer are configurable items such as axle ratio
and tire size.

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative tachometer,
temperature gauge or odometer.

Pinpoint Test H: The Odometer Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the odometer rolling count data from the PCM (non-hybrid) or
the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (hybrid) over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
communication bus. The IPC monitors the odometer rolling count input and commands the odometer with a
display in the message center display area.

If the IPC does not receive the odometer rolling count data or if the rolling count data is deemed invalid for
less than 5 seconds, the IPC displays the mileage based upon the last known good input.

If the IPC does not receive the odometer rolling count data or if the rolling count data is deemed invalid from
the PCM for 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 (non-hybrid) or U0101:00 (hybrid) in continuous
memory and defaults the odometer display to all dashes (-----).

If the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is corrupted, the message center displays ERROR.

Pinpoint Test I: The Tachometer Is Inoperative

Normal Operation

The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to measure the engine rpm. The PCM sends the
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) the data over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
communication bus, to command the tachometer gauge according to the data.

The non-hybrid and hybrid tachometers appear differently but function essentially the same. The non-hybrid
gauge is an analog gauge with a needle that points to a specified area of the gauge depending on the data
received from the PCM. The hybrid gauge is a digital display that provides a bar, which indicates engine rpm
when the gas engine is running. When the vehicle transitions into electric vehicle mode, the EV gauge
replaces the tachometer. The hybrid tachometer is only displayed in the enlighten display mode.

If the engine rpm data is invalid for 5 seconds or less or if the IPC does not receive the engine rpm data for 5
seconds or less, the IPC defaults the tachometer to the last setting, based upon the last known good rpm
message. If the IPC does not receive the engine rpm data from the PCM for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets
DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the tachometer to 0 rpm. If the engine rpm data is deemed

Pinpoint Test J: Incorrect Tachometer Indication

Normal Operation

The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to measure the engine rpm. The PCM sends the
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) the data over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
communication bus, to command the tachometer according to the data.

The non-hybrid and hybrid tachometers appear differently but function essentially the same. The non-hybrid
gauge is an analog gauge with a needle that points to a specified area of the gauge depending on the data
received from the PCM. The hybrid gauge is a digital display that provides a bar, which indicates engine rpm
when the gas engine is running. When the vehicle transitions into electric vehicle mode, the EV gauge
replaces the tachometer. The hybrid tachometer is only displayed in the enlighten display mode.

The hybrid requires two messages sent from the PCM to operate the tachometer. The first message is an
engine active message indicating that the vehicle is in the gas engine operating mode. The second message
required for the tachometer is the actual engine rpm data.

If the engine rpm data is invalid for 5 seconds or less or if the IPC does not receive the engine rpm data for 5
seconds or less, the IPC defaults the tachometer to the last setting, based upon the last known good rpm
message. If the IPC does not receive the engine rpm data from the PCM for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets
DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the tachometer to 0 rpm. If the engine rpm data is deemed
invalid by the IPC for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets DTC U0401:68 and defaults the tachometer to 0 rpm.

Pinpoint Test K: The EV Gauge Is Inoperative (Hybrid)

PINPOINT TEST J: INCORRECT TACHOMETER INDICATION 5222


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Normal Operation

The EV gauge is an extension of the tachometer display. When the vehicle shifts into electric vehicle mode or
the ignition is in the RUN position with the engine off, the EV gauge replaces the tachometer display in the
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The IPC receives the EV gauge data from the PCM over the High Speed
Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus, and engages and commands the EV gauge
according to the data received. The EV gauge is only available in the enlighten display mode.

For the IPC to switch to the EV gauge, the PCM first stops providing the message indicating that the vehicle
is in engine active mode and begins sending electric power flow data to the IPC .

If the electric motor data is invalid for 5 seconds or less or if the IPC does not receive the electric motor data
for 5 seconds or less, the IPC defaults the EV gauge to the last setting, based upon the last known good
electric motor message. If the IPC does not receive the electric motor data from the PCM for more than 5
seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the EV gauge to 0 rpm. If the
electric motor data is deemed invalid by the IPC for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets DTC U0401:68 and
defaults the EV gauge to 0.

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer,
temperature gauge or odometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• PCM concern
• IPC

PINPOINT TEST K: THE EV GAUGE IS INOPERATIVE (HYBRID)

Pinpoint Test L: The High Voltage Battery Gauge Is Inoperative (Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) provides 4 indication modes for the high voltage battery gauge depending
upon which display mode the IPC is set to display. Each display mode incrementally adds additional
functional indications. The first indication mode displays the current state of charge of the Battery Pack
Sensor Module (BPSM). The second and third indication modes indicate whether the BPSM is in the charge
or assist mode. When in charge mode, an up arrow is displayed at the top of the gauge. When in assist mode, a
down arrow is displayed at the bottom of the gauge. The fourth indication mode displays a circular set of
arrows around the battery and a brighter green arrow at the top of the gauge to indicate that the vehicle is in
regenerative braking mode.

The IPC requires multiple operational messages from 3 separate modules sent over the High Speed Controller
Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus to control the high voltage battery gauge. The following table
provides a summary of the messages and the originating module.

Pinpoint Test N: The Accessory Power Gauge Is Inoperative (Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The accessory power gauge indicates the amount of non-propulsion electrical demands that the vehicle
accessories are placing on the electrical system. Examples of non-propulsion accessories are air conditioning,
lighting, audio and the rear window defroster. The accessory power gauge is only displayed in the empower
display mode. When in use, these accessories use up electrical power that reduces the overall stored energy
that could be used to drive the electric motor. The accessory power gauge indicates the amount of power the
accessories are using up. Thus a rising gauge indicates that there is an increasing demand on the available
power and a falling gauge indication indicates that the demand from the accessories is reduced.

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the accessory power data from the air conditioning control
module and the DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC) over the High Speed Controller Area Network
(HS-CAN) communication bus.

The IPC requires multiple operational messages to control the accessory power gauge. The following table
provides a summary of the messages and the originating module.

Pinpoint Test O: The Vehicle Power Gauge Is Inoperative (Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The vehicle power gauge indicates the power demand when the transaxle is in DRIVE (D) range. The vehicle
power gauge is only displayed in the empower display mode. The vehicle power gauge display provides the
gasoline engine on/off threshold using a green box on the lower end of the gauge and a gauge display
indicating the amount of acceleration demand through the accelerator pedal. As the accelerator is pressed
during normal driving, the gauge display increases until the acceleration or power demand is great enough to
require the assistance of the gasoline engine.

When the power demand is low and the vehicle is in the electric vehicle mode, the EV display at the bottom of
the gauge illuminates. Under certain circumstances such as system warm up or battery charging, the gasoline
engine runs regardless of how low the power demand is from the driver. In this case, the green box on the
lower portion of the gauge indicating the gasoline engine on/off threshold is not displayed.

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the vehicle power data from the PCM and Battery Pack Sensor
Module (BPSM) over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus.

If the PCM data is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the vehicle power gauge to the
last state, based upon the last known good actual power consumption data received. If the PCM data is invalid
for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets DTC U0401:68 and defaults the vehicle power gauge to the full low
position. If the PCM data is missing for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 and defaults the
vehicle power gauge to the full low position.

If the current/voltage data is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the vehicle power
gauge to the last state, based upon the last known good current/voltage data received. If the current/voltage
data is invalid for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets DTC U0412:68 and defaults the vehicle power gauge to the
full low position. If the current/voltage data is missing for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets DTC U0111:00 and
defaults the vehicle power gauge to the full low position.

Pinpoint Test S: The Brake Warning Indicator is Never On

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Instrument Cluster for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) uses 3 basic messaged inputs to control the brake warning indicator. The
first 2 are the parking brake warning indicator switch and brake fluid level switch. The third is for the
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and the brake booster vacuum sensor, controlled by the ABS module.
The parking brake warning indicator switch and the brake fluid level switch status are sent from the Smart
Junction Box (SJB) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) communication bus. The
EBD message is sent from the ABS module over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
communication bus lines. The parking brake warning indicator switch and brake fluid level switch are both
hardwired to the SJB . The parking brake warning indicator switch is case grounded and the brake fluid level
uses an external ground circuit.

The SJB provides a reference voltage to both the parking brake warning indicator switch and the brake fluid
level switch. When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake warning indicator switch closes to ground,
providing a ground to the SJB and pulling the parking brake input circuit low. When a low brake fluid level
condition exists, the low brake fluid level switch closes to ground through the ground circuit, pulling the brake
fluid level input circuit low. The SJB monitors the parking brake and the brake fluid level inputs sending the
IPC a message to turn the brake warning indicator on or when the parking brake is applied. When the ABS
module detects a base brake system concern or other ABS-related concerns that affect the EBD function, the
ABS module sends a message to the IPC to illuminate both the ABS warning indicator and the brake warning
indicator.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Wiring, terminals or connectors


• Parking brake warning indicator switch
• Brake fluid level switch
• SJB
• IPC

Pinpoint Test T: The Brake Warning Indicator is Always On

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Instrument Cluster for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) uses 3 basic messaged inputs to control the brake warning indicator. The
first 2 are the parking brake warning indicator switch and brake fluid level switch. The third is for the
Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and the brake booster vacuum sensor, controlled by the ABS module.
The parking brake warning indicator switch and the brake fluid level switch status are sent from the Smart
Junction Box (SJB) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) communication bus. The
EBD message is sent from the ABS module over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
communication bus lines. The parking brake warning indicator switch and brake fluid level switch are both
hardwired to the SJB . The parking brake warning indicator switch is case grounded and the brake fluid level

Normal Operation 5238


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
uses an external ground circuit.

The SJB provides a reference voltage to both the parking brake warning indicator switch and the brake fluid
level switch. When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake warning indicator switch closes to ground,
providing a ground to the SJB and pulling the parking brake input circuit low. When a low brake fluid level
condition exists, the low brake fluid level switch closes to ground through the ground circuit, pulling the brake
fluid level input circuit low. The SJB monitors the parking brake and the brake fluid level inputs sending the
IPC a message to turn the brake warning indicator on or when the parking brake is applied. When the ABS
module detects a base brake system concern or other ABS-related concerns that affect the EBD function, the
ABS module sends a message to the IPC to illuminate both the ABS warning indicator and the brake warning
indicator.

If the brake fluid level or parking brake status messages are missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets
DTC U0140:00 and defaults the brake warning indicator on. If the IPC does not receive the ABS status
message or the EBD message from the ABS module for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0121:00
and defaults the ABS warning indicator on.

• DTC B2479 (Park Brake Switch Circuit Short to Ground) - an on-demand DTC that sets when the
SJB detects a short to ground on the parking brake warning indicator switch input circuit.
• DTC C1125 (Brake Fluid Level Sensor Input Circuit Failure) - a continuous and on-demand DTC that
sets in the SJB if the SJB detects a short to ground on the brake fluid level input circuit.

NOTE: If DTC U0140:00 is set in the IPC , other symptoms may also be present such as Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS), instrument panel backlighting, and door ajar indication.

NOTE: Whenever the IPC receives an EBD message from the ABS module, the IPC illuminates both the
brake warning indicator and the ABS warning indicator simultaneously.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Wiring, terminals or connectors


• Parking brake warning indicator switch
• Brake fluid level switch
• ABS concern

Pinpoint Test V: The Stability/Traction Control Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the stability/traction control data from the ABS module over the
High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. The stability/traction control indicator
flashes when the vehicle stability/traction control is in active mode or is being controlled by the ABS module.
The stability/traction control indicator turns on steady if a fault condition exists in the stability/traction control
system. The IPC monitors the stability/traction control message from the ABS module and either flashes the
stability/traction control indicator or turns it on steady depending on the condition.

Whenever a fault is detected in the ABS module and the ABS warning indicator is illuminated, the
stability/traction control indicator also illuminates and stability/traction control is disabled.

If the stability/traction control status message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the stability/traction control
indicator remains in the last indication mode (on or off) based upon the last known good message received. If
the stability/traction control message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0121:00 in
continuous memory and defaults the stability/traction control indicator on.

Pinpoint Test W: The Stability/Traction Control Disabled Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

The traction control switch is hardwired to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). When the traction control
switch is pressed, the IPC sends a message to the ABS module over the High Speed Controller Area Network
(HS-CAN) communication bus indicating that the traction control switch has been pressed. The ABS module
either disables or enables the stability/traction control system and sends a message back to the IPC to turn on
or off the stability/traction control disabled indicator based upon the system state.

When a MyKey® programmed key is in use and the AdvanceTrac® on feature is configured always on, the
stability/traction control system cannot be disabled and the stability/traction control indicator does not turn on
when the traction control disable button is pressed. The stability/traction control indicator still functions
normally to indicate a stability/traction control system fault and a stability/traction control active event.

If the traction control switch state message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the stability/traction control
disabled indicator remains in the last indication mode (on or off) based upon the last known good message
received. If the traction control switch state message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC
U0121:00 in continuous memory and defaults the stability/traction control disabled indicator off.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• A MyKey® programmed key is in use

Pinpoint Test AC: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Indicator Is Never/Always
On

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) messages from the
Smart Junction Box (SJB) over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) communication bus.
If the SJB determines that the tire pressure has exceeded the low tire pressure limits, a message is sent to the
IPC to turn the TPMS warning indicator on. If a TPMS fault condition exists, the SJB sends a message to the
IPC to flash the TPMS warning indicator for 75 seconds then the IPC turns the indicator on steady. If the
TPMS is in the TPMS sensor training mode, the SJB sends a command to the IPC to flash the TPMS warning
indicator throughout the procedure.

If the TPMS status message is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the TPMS warning
indicator to the last setting (on or off), based upon the last known good message received. If the TPMS status
message is missing for more than 5 seconds, DTC U0140:00 sets and the TPMS warning indicator flashes for
approximately 75 seconds then turns the indicator on steady. If the message is invalid for more than 5
seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0430:068 (non-hybrid) or U0422:68 (hybrid) and flashes the TPMS warning
indicator for approximately 75 seconds then turns the indicator on steady.

NOTE: If DTC U0140:00 is set in the SJB , other symptoms may also be present such as high beam indicator,
RH/LH turn indicators, instrument panel backlighting, and door ajar indicator.

Pinpoint Test AF: The Powertrain Malfunction (Wrench) Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On
(Fusion Non-Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the powertrain malfunction data from the PCM for the Electronic
Throttle Control (ETC) status, from the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for the transaxle status and
from the 4X4 control module for the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) status over the High Speed Controller Area
Network (HS-CAN) communication bus.

When a fault condition exists in the ETC system, the PCM provides the IPC with a message to turn the
powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on. When a fault condition exists in the transaxle, the
TCM provides the IPC with a message to turn on the powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator. When an
AWD fault condition exists, the 4X4 control module sends the IPC a message to turn the powertrain
malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on.

If the ETC status message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator
remains in the last indication mode (on or off). If the ETC message is missing for greater than 5 seconds, the
IPC sets DTC U0100:00 and defaults the powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on.

If the transaxle status message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the powertrain malfunction (wrench)
indicator remains in the last indication mode (on or off). If the transaxle message is missing for greater than 5
seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0101:00 and defaults the powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on.

If the AWD status message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator
remains in the last indication mode (on or off). If the AWD status message is missing for greater than 5
seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0102:00 and defaults the powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on.

Pinpoint Test AJ: The PRNDL Indicator is Never/Always On

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Instrument Cluster for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the transaxle range status and vehicle speed data from the PCM
over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. On hybrid vehicles, the vehicle
speed data is sent to the IPC from the Transmission Control Module (TCM) over the HS-CAN
communication bus.

For all ranges other than PARK (P), the IPC displays the selected gear matching the input from the PCM.

For PARK (P), the IPC uses a park detect switch (part of the brake shift interlock) to signal the IPC that the
shift lever is fully seated in the PARK position. The IPC compares the park detect switch input with the
transaxle range status sent from the PCM. The IPC provides a reference voltage to the brake shift interlock on
the park detect input circuit. When the gearshift is in PARK (P), the brake shift indicator routes the reference
voltage to ground, pulling the circuit low. When the gearshift is moved out of PARK (P), the brake shift

PINPOINT TEST AI: THE GRADE ASSIST INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON (WITHOUT SELECT

2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
interlock opens the ground sending the reference voltage high.

If the transaxle range status information is missing from the PCM for less than 5 seconds, the PRNDL
displays the last selected range based upon the last good known message. If the transaxle range status
information is missing from the PCM for 5 seconds or more, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 and the PRNDL
display is blank. If the park detect input is open, the PARK (P) display is blank when the transaxle is in PARK
(P) but all other ranges are still displayed according to the selected range status. If the park detect input is
shorted to ground and the messaged input indicates any range other than park, the PARK (P) display is blank
once a fault is detected by the IPC (all other ranges are still displayed according to the selected range status).

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer,
tachometer, temperature gauge or odometer.

• DTC P1706:00 (High Vehicle Speed Observed in Park: No Sub-Type Information) (non-hybrid) - a

Pinpoint Test AK: The Ready To Drive Indicator Is Never/Always On (Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The purpose of the ready to drive indicator is to inform the driver that the hybrid electric drivetrain is ready to
operate. Since the engine can start and stop at different times while the vehicle is driven and operated in the
electric vehicle mode, the ready to drive indicator is used so that the customer doesn't interpret the engine
turning off as a stalled condition. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the electric vehicle ready to
drive on/off command from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
communication bus.

If the electric vehicle ready to drive on/off command is missing for less than 5 seconds, the ready to drive
indicator remains in the last indication mode (on or off) based upon the last known good message received. If
the electric vehicle ready to drive on/off command is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC
U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the ready to drive indicator off.

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer,
tachometer or odometer.

Pinpoint Test AL: The Stop Safely Hazard Message Center Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On
(Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The stop safely hazard message center warning indicator informs the driver that a transaxle fault condition
exists or a powertrain shutdown is about to occur and service on the vehicle is required. The PCM, the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) and the Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM) provide the Instrument
Panel Cluster (IPC) the stop safely hazard message center indicator request over the High Speed Controller
Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus.

If the stop safely hazard message center indicator request is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds from
any of the source modules (PCM, TCM or BPSM ), the stop safely hazard message center warning indicator
remains in the last indication mode (on or off) based upon the last known good message received.

If the stop safely hazard message center indicator request is missing for more than 5 seconds from the PCM,
the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the stop safely hazard message center
warning indicator on.

If the stop safely hazard message center indicator request is missing for more than 5 seconds from the TCM ,

Pinpoint Test AM: The Powertrain Malfunction (Wrench) Message Center Warning Indicator Is
Never/Always On (Non-Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the powertrain malfunction data from the PCM for the Electronic
Throttle Control (ETC) status and the transaxle status and from the 4X4 control module for the All-Wheel
Drive (AWD) status over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. When a
fault condition exists in the ETC system or in the transaxle, the PCM provides the IPC with a message to turn
the powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on. When a AWD fault condition exists, the 4X4
control module sends the IPC a message to turn the powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on.

If the ETC or transaxle message is missing for greater than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 and
defaults the powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on.

If the AWD status message is missing for greater than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0102:00 and defaults the
powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator on.

NOTE: If U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other symptoms may also be present such as an inoperative
speedometer, tachometer or temperature gauge.

Pinpoint Test AO: The Engine Or Motor Over-Temperature Message Center Warning Indicator Is
Never/Always On (Hybrid)

Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the engine and motor over-temperature status from the PCM over
the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus. If the PCM detects an engine or
motor over-temperature condition, the PCM sends a command to the IPC to turn the engine or motor
over-temperature message center warning indicator on. If the PCM determines that the engine is sufficiently
overheated to enter into the fail-safe cooling mode, the PCM sends a command to the IPC to flash the engine
or motor over-temperature message center warning indicator.

If the engine or motor over-temperature message is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the engine or
motor over-temperature message center warning indicator remains in the last state (on or off) based upon the
last known good message received. If the engine over-temperature message is invalid for more than 5 seconds,
the IPC sets DTC U0401:68 in continuous memory and defaults the engine or motor over-temperature
message center warning indicator on. If the motor over-temperature message is invalid for more than 5
seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0401:68 in continuous memory and defaults the engine or motor
over-temperature message center indicator off. If the engine over-temperature message is missing for more
than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the engine or motor
over-temperature message center warning indicator on.

Pinpoint Test AQ: The Low Oil Pressure Message Center Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 60 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Instrument Cluster for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The oil pressure switch is hardwired to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and is a normally open switch.
With egine oil pressure, the oil pressure switch closes to ground and opens without oil pressure.

Non-Hybrid

The IPC provides a reference voltage to the engine oil pressure switch. When the oil pressure is within normal
ranges, the engine oil pressure switch closes to ground, pulling the reference voltage low in the IPC . With the
oil pressure switch closed, the IPC senses the low reference voltage and turns off the low oil pressure message
center warning indicator. When the engine oil pressure is low, the engine oil pressure switch opens, sending

PINPOINT TEST AP: THE LOW FUEL MESSAGE CENTER WARNING INDICATOR IS NEVER
5273
ON
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
the reference voltage high in the IPC . The IPC senses the high voltage and turns on the low oil pressure
message center warning indicator.

Hybrid

Due to the need to turn the internal combustion engine on and off during operation with the key in the RUN
position, the low oil pressure message center warning indicator requires two inputs. The first input is engine
rpm and the second input is oil pressure switch state. When the IPC detects engine oil pressure and receives an
rpm state over 500 rpm from the internal combustion engine, the IPC turns off the low oil pressure warning
indicator. If the oil pressure switch indicates low oil pressure and the rpm is less than 500 rpm, the low oil
pressure message center warning indicator remains off.

With the oil pressure switch closed, the IPC senses the low reference voltage and turns off the low oil pressure
warning indicator, provided engine rpm is greater than 500 rpm. When the engine oil pressure is low, the
engine oil pressure switch opens, sending the reference voltage high. The IPC senses the reference voltage has
moved high and turns the low oil pressure warning indicator on.

The IPC receives the engine rpm status from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network
(HS-CAN) communication bus.

If the engine rpm status is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the IPC controls the low oil pressure
message center warning based upon current oil pressure switch state and using the last known good rpm
message received. If the engine rpm status is invalid for more than 5 seconds, the IPC assumes that the rpm is
greater than 500 rpm and defaults full control of the low oil pressure message center warning indicator to the
actual oil pressure switch state. If the engine rpm status is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC
U0100:00 in continuous memory and assumes that the rpm is greater than 500 rpm, defaulting full control of
the low oil pressure message center warning indicator to the actual oil pressure switch state.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Engine oil pressure switch
• Base engine oil pressure concern
• IPC

Pinpoint Test AS: The Charging System Message Center Warning Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

The charging system indicator is controlled by the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) based upon data received
from the PCM (non-hybrid) or the DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC) (hybrid) over the High
Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus.

If the charging system message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the charging system message center
warning indicator remains in the last state (on or off) based upon the last known good message received. If the
charging system message is missing for more than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 (non-hybrid) or
DTC U0298:00 (hybrid) in continuous memory and defaults the charging system warning indicator on.

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer,
tachometer or odometer.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Charging system concern

PINPOINT TEST AS: THE CHARGING SYSTEM MESSAGE CENTER WARNING INDICATOR5280
IS NEVER/A
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Normal Operation

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives the trunk ajar status from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) over the
Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) communication bus. The luggage compartment lid ajar
switch (part of the luggage compartment lid latch) is hardwired to the SJB through the decklid ajar input
circuit. The luggage compartment lid ajar switch is grounded through an external ground circuit. When the
luggage compartment lid is ajar, the luggage compartment lid latch removes the ground to the luggage
compartment lid ajar switch input. When the luggage compartment lid is closed, the luggage compartment lid
release grounds the luggage compartment lid ajar switch.

When the SJB detects an open on the decklid ajar input circuit, the SJB sends a message to the IPC to turn on
the trunk ajar message center indicator.

If the decklid ajar status message is missing for less than 5 seconds, the trunk ajar message center warning
indicator remains in the last state (on or off) based upon the last known good message received. If the decklid
ajar status message is missing for greater than 5 seconds, the IPC sets DTC U0140:00 and defaults the decklid
ajar message center warning indicator on.

NOTE: If DTC U0140:00 is set in the SJB , other symptoms may also be present in the IPC such as high
beam indicator, RH/LH turn indicators, instrument panel backlighting and Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Pinpoint Test AV: The CHECK FUEL FILL INLET Message Is Inoperative/Always On

Normal Operation

The PCM monitors the fuel tank evaporative emission system for significant leaks that occur following
refueling of the vehicle. Once the PCM detects a fuel vapor leak, the PCM sends the Instrument Panel Cluster
(IPC) a message over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus to turn on the
CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message. DTC P0457 sets in the PCM following a successful cruise test, which
is initiated when the vehicle is driven at a steady speed above 64 km/h (40 mph) for a duration of
approximately 4-5 minutes. If the PCM is unable to successfully run the cruise test, the IPC does not receive
the message from the PCM and the CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message remains off.

If the IPC does not receive the fuel cap off data from the PCM for 5 seconds or less, the IPC defaults the
CHECK FUEL FILL INLET message to the last setting, based upon the last known good data message. If the
IPC does not receive the fuel cap off data from the PCM for more than 5 seconds or if the data received is
deemed invalid, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the CHECK FUEL FILL
INLET message off.

NOTE: If DTC U0100:00 is set in the IPC , other observable symptoms may be an inoperative speedometer,
temperature gauge (except hybrid) or odometer.

• DTC P0457 (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected) (fuel cap loose/off) - sets in the PCM if a
fuel tank pressure change greater than -23.7 kPa (-7 in-Hg) of vacuum within 30 seconds after
refueling occurs, or there is an excessive purge (fuel vapor) flow of greater than 454 g (1.0 lb) per
minute.

switch (part of the luggage compartment lid latch) is hardwired to the SJB through the trunk ajar input circuit.
The luggage compartment lid ajar switch is grounded externally. When the luggage compartment lid is ajar,
the luggage compartment lid latch removes the ground to the luggage compartment lid ajar switch input to the
SJB . When the luggage compartment lid is closed, the luggage compartment lid release grounds the luggage
compartment lid ajar switch.

When the SJB detects an open on the trunk ajar input circuit, the SJB sends a message to the IPC to turn on
the TRUNK AJAR message in the message center.

PINPOINT TEST BA: THE HEADLAMPS ON WARNING CHIME IS INOPERATIVE 5303


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
chime sounds for approximately 6 seconds when the driver safety belt is not fastened and the ignition is
switched from the OFF or ACC to the RUN position.

The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the safety belt warning function and is enabled after the safety belt
warning is complete. The Belt-Minder® simultaneously sounds the chime and illuminates the safeelt warning
lamp in the IPC once the vehicle speed has exceeded 9.7 km/h (6 mph), and remains active for 5 minutes from
the time it is started.

There are 2 Belt-Minder® strategies that are used and implemented by the IPC as commanded by the RCM .
The 2 strategies are designed to provide an increased chime tone safety belt warning indicator flash activity.
Belt-Minder® A provides 6 one-second sequences for the first minute of the Belt-Minder® warning.
Belt-Minder® B provides 6 one-second sequences of 3 chime tones in rapid succession for the remainder of
the Belt-Minder® warning.

NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is operated using MyKey®, the RCM enables the Belt-Minder®.

If the Belt-Minder® is deactivated using an administrator key and driven using a MyKey® key, the MyKey®
system overrides the deactivation of Belt-Minder®. When MyKey® is in use, the driver cannot configure the
Belt-Minder® off. Once the Belt-Minder® is activated, the Belt-Minder® continues to chime periodically
(does not time out after 5 minutes) and the audio system is muted until the driver safety belt is fastened. Refer
to Section 419-01B for more information on the MyKey® feature.

NOTE: Make sure that the Belt-Minder® chime operation is verified with the vehicle moving at least 9.7

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Horn

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The horn system consists of the following components:

• Horn switches (part of the steering wheel)


• Clockspring
• Horn relay (part of the SJB )
• Horn

The horn can be operated by pressing the switch on the steering wheel. It is also controlled by the SJB when it
is utilized for the panic function, or during a perimeter anti-theft alarm event.

Horn Location

The horn is mounted on the RH side of the front subframe in the RH wheel well behind the front fender splash
shield.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The SJB supplies the control and switched voltage to the horn relay (part of the SJB ). When the driver air bag
is pressed, ground is supplied through the steering wheel 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.

The SJB provides ground to the horn relay control side to sound the horn when the vehicle security system is
armed, an intrusion is detected, or the panic alarm is activated.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

ft) from the rear side of the vehicle, and 30 cm (12 in) above the ground. The Parking Aid Module (PAM)
calculates the distance to an object within the 170 degree semicircular area around the rear of the vehicle. A
variable warning tone is generated from a parking aid speaker. The parking aid speaker increases its warning
tone rate as the vehicle gets closer to an obstacle. When an object is detected within 25 cm (10 in) of the
sensors, the warning tone becomes continuous.

The parking aid speaker has a dual function for vehicles equipped with the parking aid system and cross
traffic alert system. The parking aid speaker will emit an audible warning tone to notify the driver of impeding
traffic from the side of the vehicle when backing out of parking spaces. Refer to Section 419-04 for cross
traffic alert information.

The parking aid system is enabled when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the REVERSE (R)
gear is selected. The parking aid system is disabled if a fault is detected in 1 of the 3 sensors, the parking aid
speaker, or the PAM . This is indicated by a warning and the message center will display the message
"CHECK PARK AID".

The PAM is on the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) and can be diagnosed with a scan
tool. The PAM communicates with the scan tool, the Audio Control Module (ACM), the SOD-L , the SOD-R
and the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The following chart describes network messages used by the PAM :

NOTE: Both the MS-CAN and the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) are used for intermodule
communication. A gateway message is transferred from one network to another network through the IPC .
Refer to Section 418-00 for network communication information.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

NOTE: The Luggage Compartment lid must be closed for correct operation of the video camera system.

The rear video camera system is used to assist the driver while reversing or parking the vehicle. For vehicles
without navigation, the image of the area behind the vehicle is displayed in the LH side of the auto-dimming
interior mirror assembly. For vehicles with navigation, the image of the area behind the vehicle is displayed in
the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM). A dashed line on the displayed image represents the center of the
vehicle and 3 color-coded lines (red, yellow, green) identify different zones between the rear of the vehicle
and objects.

NOTICE: The color-coded lines may not indicate accurate or consistent distances between objects
located be the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle. This normal condition is due to variances in vehicle
ride height, including, but not limited to, vehicle loading.

For vehicles without navigation, the signal from the rear video camera is sent to the auto-dimming interior
mirror display on a pair of shielded video circuits. For vehicles with navigation, the signal from the rear video
camera is sent to the FDIM on a pair of shielded video circuits. The displayed video image is horizontally
inverted and is viewed from the video camera perspective to mimic a conventional mirror image. The rear
video camera system is active with the ignition in RUN and the transmission selector in the REVERSE (R)
position.

For vehicles without navigation, the system remains active for approximately 3 seconds after the transmission
selector is moved from the REVERSE (R) position. The rear video camera system cannot be disabled during
these conditions.

For vehicles with navigation, the video system has a delay feature that keeps the image displayed on the
FDIM until the vehicle reaches 8km/h (5 mph) when the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R). The operator
has the ability to turn the delay feature on or off with the on screen options in the FDIM . The image is not
displayed if the vehicle is shifted into PARK (P).

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Charging System

The charging system is a negative ground system consisting of:

• a generator with an internal voltage regulator.


• a charging system warning indicator.
• a battery.
• circuitry and cables.
• a PCM.
• a radial arm adapter (if equipped, serviceable separately from the generator)

The generator is driven by the accessory drive belt. When the engine is started, the generator begins to
generate AC which is internally converted to DC. The DC is controlled by the voltage regulator (located on
the rear of the generator) and supplied to the battery. The PCM controls the voltage regulation set point,
working with the generator internal voltage regulator over 2 control and communication circuits.

Charging System 5414

SECTION 414-00: Charging System
Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Principles of Operation

The PCM-controlled charging system, or "Smart Charge" charging system, determines the optimal voltage set
point for the charging system and communicates this information to the voltage regulator. The "Smart
Charge" charging system is designed to set 1 of 6 DTCs any time a charging system fault is present. All of the
DTCs can set continuous faults, but not all DTCs will set as on-demand faults.

P0563 X a Xa
P0620 X
P0625 X X
P0626 X X
P065B X
a Requires vehicle speed above 8 mph.

This system uses 2 communication lines between the PCM and the generator/voltage regulator. Both of these
communication lines use Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM). The generator communication (GENCOM) line
communicates the desired set point from the PCM to the voltage regulator. The generator monitor
(GENMON) line communicates the generator load and error conditions to the PCM. The GENCOM
command is only sent by the PCM when it is necessary to adjust the voltage set point. If the set point does not
need to be changed, several seconds may elapse between PCM GENCOM commands. This normal operation
will appear in the PID as occasional "bursts" of pulse-width commands. The third pin on the voltage regulator,
the A circuit pin, is a circuit dedicated to monitor or sense battery voltage.

The PCM simultaneously controls and monitors the output of the generator. When the current consumption is
high or the battery is discharged, the PCM will raise engine speed as needed to increase generator output. 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. The PCM also uses other inputs
to control charging system voltage such as the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and Engine Coolant Temperature
(ECT). The voltage set point is calculated by the PCM and communicated to the voltage regulator by the
GENCOM circuit based on the needs of the vehicle and the conditions.

The PCM turns off the generator during cranking to reduce the generator load and improve cranking speed.
Once the engine starts, the PCM slowly increases generator output to desired voltage.

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) or Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The IC
/ IPC will then control charging system warning indication based on the message from the PCM. The status of
the PCM charging system warning indicator and/or message can be confirmed by viewing PCM PID
generator fault indicator lamp (GENFIL). Any charging system fault detected by the PCM will result in 1 or
more DTCs being set and the PID GENFIL having a status of On. If equipped with a charging system warning
indicator, the IC / IPC will turn the indicator ON or OFF. If equipped with a message center, the IC / IPC will

Principles of Operation 5415


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
display a CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM message. When the ignition is ON and the engine is OFF on
vehicles equipped with a message center, the CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM message may not be displayed.
For information regarding the IC / IPC and message center, refer to Section 413-01 .

Under certain circumstances, the charging system may have a concern, but will still keep the battery charged
and the vehicle running. GENCOM is normally used to initiate charging, but the generator may charge with a
fault in this circuit. If the engine is operated at greater than 2,000 rpm momentarily, the generator may
"self-excite" or start charging on its own. The charging system warning indicator is illuminated and/or
CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM message is displayed, and the generator operates in a default mode
(approximately 13.5 volts) until the engine is turned off. When the engine is restarted and the engine is
operated at greater than 2,000 rpm momentarily, the generator may again self-excite and again the charging
system warning indicator is illuminated and/or CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM message is displayed.

Normal Operation

The PCM monitors the generator output via the GENMON circuit. The PCM uses the GENCOM circuit to
command the generator to either increase or decrease output. If the GENCOM circuit (generator control
circuit) or the A sense circuit are open or shorted to ground, the PCM will be unable to control the generator
output. When the engine speed rises above approximately 2,000 rpm, the generator will default to a steady
voltage output of approximately 13.5 volts and the PCM will send a request to the Instrument Cluster (IC) to
illuminate the charging system warning indicator. A GENCOM circuit fault can be confirmed by viewing the
PCM PID generator command line fault (GENCMD_LF) (YES status indicator fault).

• DTC P0620 (Generator Control Circuit) - If the GENCOM circuit or A sense circuit are open or

Normal Operation

The PCM monitors the generator output via the GENMON circuit (generator field terminal circuit). If the
PCM cannot read the GENMON circuit due to an open or short to ground, when the engine rises above
approximately 2,000 rpm, the generator will default to a steady voltage of approximately 13.5 volts and the
PCM will send a request to the Instrument Cluster (IC) to illuminate the charging system warning indicator. A
GENMON duty cycle of 3% or less indicates a short to ground fault is present and will result in DTC P0625
setting in the PCM. A GENMON duty cycle of 98% or more indicates an open or short to voltage fault is
present and will result in DTC P0626 setting in the PCM.

• DTC P0625 (Generator Field Terminal Circuit Low) - If the GENMON circuit is shorted to ground,
the A sense circuit is open or the B+ circuit is open, the PCM will set this DTC. This DTC can also be
set by a faulted PCM or generator.
• DTC P0626 (Generator Field Terminal Circuit High) - If the GENMON circuit is open or shorted to
power, the PCM will set this DTC. This DTC can also be set by a faulted PCM or generator.

Pinpoint Test E: DTC P065B

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Charging System for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

With the engine running, the PCM expects to receive a valid generator monitor (GENMON) signal with a
duty cycle greater than 5% and less than 98%. The PCM also monitors the state of the generator command
(GENCMD) signal line to make sure it is not stuck high or stuck low. If the GENMON or GENCMD signal
fluctuates between out-of-valid range, or stuck high, or stuck low, or some combination and normal, a DTC
will be set. When engine speed rises above approximately 2,000 rpm, the generator will default to a steady
voltage of approximately 13.5 volts and the PCM will send a request to the Instrument Cluster (IC) to
illuminate the charging system warning indicator lamp.

• DTC P065B (Generator Control Circuit Range/Performance) - If the input frequency was
continuously less than 80 Hz or more than 200 Hz the PCM will set this DTC. Additionally, if the
signal shows a faulted condition that is happening in a fluctuating manner, the PCM will track the
fluctuations between faulted and normal conditions. If the fluctuations occur frequently within a short
amount of time, this DTC will also be set.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• Radial arm adapter
• Generator
• PCM

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Principles of Operation

Battery Eye Operation

The battery eye indicates the state-of-charge of the battery by responding to the specific gravity of a single
battery cell electrolyte. The battery eye has a viewing plate, 2 colored balls of different specific gravity and a
small passage. As the state-of-charge and specific gravity changes, the balls change their position in the
passageway and subsequently display a different color in the viewing eye. The primary purpose of the battery
is to be a quick indicator of state-of-charge for assembly plants and dealership pre-delivery processes.

The color of the battery eye indicates the approximate state-of-charge.

• Red - indicates low state-of-charge.


• Yellow/Black - indicates between high and low state-of-charge.
• Green - indicates high state-of-charge.
• No color can occur after the battery has been in service for several years and some of the plate
material has coated the balls.
• A clear battery eye can occur if the battery case becomes damaged and the electrolyte has fallen
below the plates.

NOTE: The battery eye may remain red for a period of time (up to several days), even after the battery is
fully charged, because the acid is not yet fully mixed.

Do not install a new battery based solely on the indication of the battery eye. The battery eye color simply
indicates the battery state-of-charge, not its condition. For example, a red or yellow/black battery eye usually
indicates the battery is discharged, not defective. If the battery eye indicates the battery may be discharged, it
is necessary to recharge the battery before testing its condition.

Charging a Battery

Batteries discharge while the vehicle is on the dealer lot or parked by the customer for an extended period of
time due to normal parasitic key-off loads. Also, vehicles still in dealer inventory or in long-term storage may
be driven short distances with heavy electrical loads. Over a period of time (30 days or more), this could result
in vehicles having shallow or deeply discharged batteries.

• Deeply discharged - A battery that is drained over a prolonged period of time, such as an unsold
vehicle or a vehicle in storage, to the point the battery is dead.
• Shallow discharge - A battery that is drained by leaving an accessory on for several hours or a few
days and has a very low charge.

The vehicle charging system is designed to supply the electrical power needed to maintain the battery near full
charge during normal vehicle use. The charging system is not capable of bringing a deeply discharged battery
back to near fuln a short amount of time such as allowing the vehicle to idle for 15 minutes to "recharge the
battery". Discharged batteries should be charged using an external charger.

NOTE: Battery chargers have improved greatly with the addition of the new generation pulse chargers. These
chargers pulse current into the battery, breaking down the sulfation layer on the battery plates and generally
reduce charging times to less than an hour.

Principles of Operation 5461


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
NOTE: Cold batteries will not readily accept a charge. Therefore, batteries should be allowed to warm to
approximately 5°C (41°F) before charging. This may require 4 to 8 hours at room temperature.

The following chart summarizes 2 recommended methods of charging.

Type of Battery
Discharge Pulse Charger Standard Charger
Deeply discharged Follow directions supplied with the 2 to 8 hours and may take up to an hour to
pulse charger accept initial charge
Shallow discharge 45 minutes to an hour charge 2 hours below (40A) on manual setting or

Battery - Drain Tests

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.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to the meter, do not crank the engine or operate accessories that draw
more than 10A.

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: Typically, a drain of approximately 1 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 may be due to the generator. Disconnect the generator and retest.

NOTE: To curately test the drain on a battery, an in-line ammeter must be used between the negative battery
post and its respective cable. Use of a test lamp or voltmeter is not an accurate method.

1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 minutes and over 48 km/h (30 mph) to turn on and activate the vehicle
systems.

2. After driving the vehicle and before testing, make sure the junction box(es)/fuse panel(s) is accessible
without turning on the interior lights or the underhood lights.

3. Allow the vehicle to sit with the key out of the ignition 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.

5. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the negative battery post without breaking the connection
of the jumper wire.

6. 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 40-minute procedure must be repeated.

Component Test 5466


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

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.

7. NOTE: If the meter settings need to be switched or the test leads need to be moved to another jack,
the jumper wire must be reinstalled to avoid breaking continuity.

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.

NOTE: If the vehicle sits for an extended period of time and the battery drains, there is the possibility of a
control module staying alive and not going into sleep mode. If a module does stay alive, it can also result in
battery drain. If a module is suspect, isolate individual modules by disconnecting each module one at a time
and note if the excessive draw goes away.

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with aftermarket bodies or boxes which contain electrical connections,
disconnect the aftermarket to factory connections to isolate the body from the chassis.

9. If the current draw is excessive, remove the fuses from the Battery Junction Box (BJB) one at a time
and note the current drop. When the current level drops to an acceptable level after removing a fuse,
the circuit containing the excessive draw has been located. The excessive draw can be isolated by
continuing to pull sub system fuses. Do not reinstall the fuses until testing is finished. To correctly
isolate each of the circuits, all of the fuses may need to be removed, then install one fuse and note the
amperage draw, remove the fuse and install the next fuse. Continue this process with each fuse.
• Once the main circuit is identified, continue to remove the fuses from the Smart Junction Box
(SJB) one at a time and note the current reading. Do not reinstall the fuses until testing is
finished. To correctly isolate each of the circuits, all of the fuses may need to be removed,
then install one fuse and note the amperage draw, remove the fuse and install the next fuse.
Continue this process with each fuse.

10. Check the wiring diagrams for any circuits that run from the battery without passing through the BJB
or the SJB . If the current draw is still excessive, disconnect these circuits until the draw is found.
Also, disconnect the generator electrical connections and retest if the draw cannot be located. The
generator may be internally shorted, causing the current drain.

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 deplete the backup power supply before repairing or installing any new front
or side air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) component and before servicing, removing,
installing, adjusting or striking components near the front or side impact sensors or the restraints
control module (RCM). Nearby components include doors, instrument panel, console, door latches,
strikers, seats and hood latches. Refer to the Description and Operation portion of Section 501-20B for
location of the RCM and impact sensor(s). To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the
battery ground cable and wait at least 1 minute. Be sure to disconnect auxiliary batteries and power
supplies (if equipped). Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death
in the event of an accidental deployment.

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.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead components.
Wash hands after handling. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: When the battery (or PCM) is disconnected and connected, some abnormal drive symptoms may
occur while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy. The charging system set point may also vary. The
vehicle may need to be driven to relearn its strategy.

1. On hybrid vehicles, remove the Air Cleaner (ACL) assembly. For additional information, refer to
Section 303-12A .

High-Voltage Traction Battery

WARNING: To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and
service instructions, including instructions to depower the system. The high-voltage system utilizes
approximately 300 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and modules. The
high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire covering. All
high-voltage components are marked with high-voltage warning labels with a high-voltage symbol.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTICE: The High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) in a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) can be
affected and damaged by excessively high temperatures. The temperature in some body shop paint
booths can exceed 60°C (140°F). Therefore, during refinishing operations, the paint booth temperature
must be set at or below 60°C (140°F) with a bake time of 45 minutes or less. Temperatures in excess of
60°C (140°F) or bake durations longer than 45 minutes will require the HVTB be removed from the
vehicle prior to placing in the paint booth.

The vehicle is principally powered by an internal combustion engine, much like any ordinary vehicle.
However, it also transforms the energy that is normally wasted during stop and go operation (when coasting
and braking) into electricity, which is stored in the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) until the moment it
is needed by the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) traction motor or the
12-volt system. The traction motor is used to support the engine during acceleration and uphill drivn
low-speed driving situations, the vehicle may move under only battery power, without the internal combustion
engine running. The internal combustion engine may automatically shut off when the vehicle is stopped/idling
or when coasting under 75 km/h (47 mph) and will restart when the accelerator is depressed, when the traction
motor needs assistance, or if the HVTB state-of-charge is low. This avoids using excess fuel when the vehicle
is not in motion. The vehicle does not need to be plugged into an external source of electricity to be recharged.
The energy provided by the engine and the regenerative braking, via the eCVT traction motor and generator
motor, charges the HVTB .

The HVTB assembly, located behind the rear seat backrest, consists of the following components:

• HVTB
• HVTB service disconnect plug
• Battery Energy Control Module (BECM)
• High-voltage Bussed Electrical Center (BEC)
• HVTB connector and bracket (mounted to the high-voltage BEC )
• Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM)
• High-voltage low-current fuse (mounted in the high-voltage BEC )
• HVTB system wire harness
• HVTB cooling fan and jumper harness (accessed from the trunk area)
• HVTB cooling inlet duct
• HVTB cooling outlet duct (accessed from the trunk area)
• HVTB inlet air temperature sensor
• HVTB cooling inlet duct plate
• HVTB ground strap
• High-voltage BEC cover

All of the HVTB assembly components listed above can be individually serviced except the HVTB and the
HVTB system wire harness. The HVTB and HVTB system wire harness are serviced as part of the entire
HVTB assembly which includes all of the components in the list above except the HVTB cooling inlet duct

Principles of Operation

The High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) consists of D-cell type batteries packaged into modules which
deliver approximately 275 volts DC to the high-voltage system. The HVTB provides cranking power to the
high-voltage generator motor inside the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission
(eCVT). The HVTB also supplies electrical energy to the traction motor (also internal to the eCVT ) to propel
the vehicle when it is operating in electric mode only or to assist the gasoline engine (heavy acceleration).
When the engine is operating or the vehicle is moving, the high-voltage generator motor generates
high-voltage AC electricity. High-voltage AC generated by the generator motor can be used by the traction
motor or to re-charge the HVTB .

When the HVTB is being charged, high-voltage is converted from high-voltage AC to high-voltage DC
electrical power inside the eCVT and transmitted through the high-voltage cables to the HVTB .

The high-voltage DC electrical power is converted to low-voltage DC electrical power through the DC to DC
Converter Control Module (DC/DC). This low-voltage high-current DC electrical power is then supplied to
the 12-volt battery through the low-voltage battery cables.

The high-voltage system has a floating ground. The floating ground is designed to completely isolate the
high-voltage system from the vehicle chassis. The high-voltage cables are fully insulated (isolated) from all
vehicle components and circuits. There are no common connections (such as body grounds) used to conduct
the high-voltage power. The Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) monitors this system for any leakage of
current to the normal electrical system (similar to a household ground fault interrupter).

Battery Energy Control Module (BECM)

The BECM manages the condition of the HVTB to control its charging and discharging. The BECM also
manages the cooling of the HVTB by controlling a fan attached to the HVTB cooling outlet duct. The BECM
communicates with other vehicle modules on the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus.

High-Voltage Traction Battery 5491


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The BECM receives the following hard-wired inputs:

• HVTB interlock status


• Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM) information and status, via a dedicated (not accessible by a scan
tool) CAN between the BECM and BPSM
• Immediate shutdown request from the Transmission Control Module (TCM)
• Event notification status from the Restraints Control Module (RCM)
• Vehicle HS-CAN
• BPSM power, ground and control circuits
• HVTB inlet air temperature sensor
• HVTB cooling fan feedback

The BECM provides the following outputs:

• HVTB cooling fan Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) supply voltage


• Vehicle HS-CAN information

The BECM receives HS-CAN messages from the following modules:

• PCM
• TCM
• Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
• RCM
• DC/DC

The PCM HS-CAN messages received by the BECM include:

• Gas engine status (running or off)


• Contactor control request status
• Current vehicle mode (power up, engine wait, shutdown, etc.)
• Ready light request
• Battery estimated current
• Transaxle gear position
• R-Mode Rebalance enable request
• Engine speed
• Throttle plate position
• Engine coolant temperature
• Ambient air inlet temperature

The TCM HS-CAN messages received by the BECM include:

• Vehicle speed, via the TCM


• TCM high-voltage input, via the TCM

The DC/DC HS-CAN messages received by the BECM include:

• DC/DC high-voltage input


• DC/DC high-voltage current
• DC/DC low-voltage input
• DC/DC over-temperature status
• DC/DC operation status

Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM)

High-Voltage Traction Battery 5492


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The BPSM communicates with the BECM over a dedicated (not accessible by a scan tool) CAN bus. The
BPSM provides the current, voltage and temperature status of the HVTB to the BECM . This information is
needed by the BECM to control the HVTB and to determine the HVTB ability to receive and provide power
to the vehicle.

DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC)

The DC/DC converter is a liquid-cooled component that converts high-voltage (179-343 volt) DC power to
low-voltage (12 volt) DC power. The converter provides power to the vehicle 12-volt battery and low-voltage
electrical systems. The PCM controls the operation of the DC/DC through an enable message from the PCM
to the DC/DC . For information on the DC/DC , refer to Section 414-05 .

Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT)

The eCVT includes an internal generator motor and an internal traction motor. For information on the eCVT
and its operation, refer to Section 307-01C and the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.

The eCVT generator motor generates high-voltage electricity for charging of the HVTB and/or providing
power to the traction motor. The generator motor is also used to start the gas engine. The generator motor is
an internal part of the eCVT and it cannot be repaired, only installed new as an assembly.

The eCVT traction motor is used to accelerate the vehicle from a stop when driving under electric power. The
traction motor is also used to recover energy during regenerative braking. The traction motor receives power
from the HVTB and/or from the eCVT generator motor. The traction motor is an internal part of the eCVT
and it cannot be repaired, only installed new as an assembly.

The regenerative braking system is designed to recapture some of the energy from braking and deceleration
events. It accomplishes this through the use of the traction motor and generator motor. This recaptured energy
is used to charge the HVTB . If the HVTB is adequately charged, the recaptured energy is used for gas engine
braking to slow the vehicle. The regenerative brake system is a series system. A series system is one in which
powertrain braking is used first, up to the limits of the powertrain torque capacity and battery capacity. After
optimum regeneration is used, the friction brakes are applied to supplement braking demands. For information
on regenerative braking, refer to Section 206-09 .

High-Voltage Bussed Electrical Center (BEC)

The high-voltage Bussed Electrical Center (BEC) acts as an interface between the high-voltage cables and the
HVTB . The high-voltage BEC houses the 3 contactors (precharge, positive and negative) which, when
commanded closed by the BECM , connect the HVTB to various components for high-voltage consumption
and/or charging of the HVTB . The high-voltage BEC design enables distribution of high-voltage to the
high-current side ( eCVT ) and low-current side ( DC/DC and Air Conditioning Compressor Module
(ACCM)). The low-current side is protected by a high-voltage/low-current 40A fuse. Any fault resulting in
excessive current on the low-current side will open the fuse, but will not affect operation of the high-current
side. The high-voltage BEC contains the contactors, the current sensor and the high-voltage/low-current 40
amp fuse.

The high-voltage BEC also interfaces with the BECM for monitoring of the high-voltage cable interlock
circuit and control of the contactors. The high-voltage BEC also houses the current sensor which is monitored
by the BPSM . The current sensor is used to help determine the load or rate of charge of the HVTB by sensing
current flow into or out of the HVTB .

High-Voltage Cable Assembly

All cables that carry high voltage are integrated into one high-voltage cable assembly that runs between the

High-Voltage Traction Battery 5493


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

DC/DC , the eCVT , the ACCM and the HVTB (via the high-voltage BEC ). Within the high-voltage cable
assembly are 4 basic circuits:

• The high-voltage/high-current cables between the HVTB and the eCVT .


• The high-voltage/low-current cables from the HVTB to the DC/DC and the ACCM .
• The interlock circuit consists of small-gauge wiring wrapped around the high-voltage cables. The
interlock circuit connectors are built in with the high-voltage cable connectors, and are either
disconnected simultaneously with the high-voltage cable or must be disconnected before
disconnecting the high-voltage cable, depending upon the type of connector being serviced.
• The LED and high-voltage AC wiring between the DC/AC inverter and AC power point. For
information on the DC/AC inverter system, refer to Section 414-05 .

High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB)

The HVTB is a nominal 275 volts (actual operating range of 179-343 volts) DC energy source that receives
high-voltage electrical power when required from the eCVT . The HVTB also supplies high-voltage electrical
power when required to the eCVT , DC/DC and/or the ACCM .

The HVTB system is connected to a floating ground system that keeps it isolated from the vehicle's 12-volt
system. All charging and maintenance of the HVTB is managed by the BECM . Sensing of the HVTB (battery
state-of-charge, internal temperature, battery load) is done by the BPSM .

HVTB Service Disconnect Plug

The HVTB uses a service disconnect plug which connects directly to the HVTB . The service disconnect plug
has an internal circuit which includes a fuse. When the service disconnect plug is removed from the HVTB ,
high voltage is no longer supplied to the high-voltage BEC , although there is still high voltage available on 2
circuits monitored by the BPSM .

R-Mode Rebalance

Individual cells can deviate over the life of the HVTB . The purpose of the R-Mode Rebalance is to equalize
the individual cell charges. By rebalancing the cells the HVTB will maintain top efficiency. The rebalance
process charges the battery pack to near a full state of charge and keeps each individual cell charge within a
prescribed range of each other. The R-Mode Rebalance is sometimes run during vehicle operation as needed
and is controlled by the BECM . In some situations the BECM may not be able to properly adjust the cell
levels on its own and a DTC may be set. The DTC would direct the technician to perform a service R-Mode
Rebalance. This is done with the use of a scan tool by following the directions within the service function.

Vehicle Shut Down

A vehicle shut down signal is sent when the battery is about to open the contactors due to an internal fault or
has just opened the contactors due to an external input (external module commanding contactors to be opened
such as a crash event, interlock circuit failure, etc.). When vehicle shut down occurs, the Stop Safely warning
indicator will be illuminated warning that the vehicle will be shut down within a matter of seconds and that
the operator should pull off the road as soon as possible. Depending on the fault condition that lead to the shut
down, the vehicle may or may not re-start if the condition has corrected itself. If the fault condition is severe
enough, the fault will have to be repaired and DTCs cleared before the vehicle will re-start.

Inspection and Verification

WARNING: To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and

Pinpoint Test A: DTC P0A0A:00

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 12 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Charging System for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) checks for continuity of the high-voltage system interlock
circuit. The interlock circuit must have continuity before high-voltage will be supplied to the vehicle. The
interlock circuit voltage travels through each of the high-voltage components and high-voltage cables and
back to the BECM . This fault will illuminate the stop safely hazard (red triangle) warning indicator and shut
down the vehicle.

• DTC P0A0A:00 (High Voltage System Interlock Circuit: No Sub Type Information) - Fault sets when
the BECM does not sense interlock circuit continuity. This indicates the interlock circuit is open.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


• Air Conditioning Compressor Module (ACCM)
• BECM
• DC to DC Converter ControModule (DC/DC)
• Transmission Control Module (TCM) (part of Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable
Transmission (eCVT))
• High-voltage cables

Normal Operation

With the ignition in the ON position and the engine running or OFF (the engine must have started at least
once after the ignition was cycled to ON), the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission
(eCVT) engages the generator (also in the eCVT ), which charges the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB)
and supplies high-voltage to the DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC). The DC/DC charges the
low-voltage battery which is used to power the PCM and low voltage components. The DC/DC steps the high
voltage down to 12 volts (operating range of 13.3-14.7 volts). This DTC may indicate a low state-of-charge in
the 12-volt battery or a Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) fault. If the 12-volt battery has recently had
the terminals disconnected/cleaned or if a new 12-volt battery has been recently installed, this DTC will also
be set. When a fault is present, the system will attempt to continue normal operation. There is no warning
indicator for this fault.

Normal Operation

With the ignition in the ON position and the engine running or OFF, the Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM)
monitors the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) internal temperature. The BPSM communicates the
HVTB temperature (in addition to other information) to the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) through
a dedicated Controller Area Network (CAN). There is also a HVTB inlet air temperature sensor mounted to
the inlet air duct which monitors inlet air temperature to the HVTB . The BECM uses the information from
the various temperature sensors to control and maintain HVTB temperature by controlling the HVTB cooling
fan. The ideal HVTB temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a desired range of 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F).

Normal Operation

With the ignition in the ON position and the engine running or OFF (the engine must have run at least once
after the ignition was cycled to ON), the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) monitors the electrical
isolation (leakage resistance) between the high-voltage system and the vehicle chassis. A resistance value of
less than 147,000 ohms is a failure. There are 2 types of failures. A mild fault will only illuminate the
powertrain malfunction (wrench) warning indicator. A severe fault will illuminate the stop safely hazard (red
triangle) warning indicator and the vehicle will not start at the next ignition cycle. The normal resistance value
is between 950,000-1,330,000+ ohms.

• DTC P0AA6:00 (Hybrid Battery Voltage System Isolation Fault: No Sub Type Information) - If the
BECM detects a high-voltage system leakage this DTC will be set. If the BECM detects a
high-voltage system severe leakage, the vehicle will not restart and the BECM will set this DTC.

Normal Operation

With the ignition in the ON position and the engine running or OFF, the Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM)
monitors the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) internal temperature. The BPSM communicates the
HVTB temperature (in addition to other information) to the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) through
a dedicated Controller Area Network (CAN). There is also a HVTB inlet air temperature sensor mounted to
the inlet air duct which monitors inlet air temperature to the HVTB . The BECM uses the information from
the various temperature sensors to control and maintain HVTB temperature by controlling the HVTB cooling
fan. The ideal HVTB temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a desired range of 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F).

Normal Operation

During vehicle operation, the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) normal operating voltage range is
between 179-343 volts. The electrical system is monitored by the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM)
and Battery Pack Sensor Module (BPSM). As the voltage is used in the HVTB , a request to charge the battery
is sent on the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) to the Electronically Controlled Continuously
Variable Transmission (eCVT) to send voltage to the battery to charge the battery and bring the operating
voltage back to peak operating conditions. If battery voltage becomes too high, an over-charge condition is
indicated. When battery voltage is too high, the stop safely hazard (red triangle) warning indicator is
illuminated and the vehicle will shut down.

Normal Operation

When the ignition is turned on, the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) makes various vehicle checks. If
these checks are normal, the BECM sends a signal to the contactor to close, which will supply high-voltage
power to the vehicle. If a precharge contactor overcurrent condition is sensed by the BECM , the stop safely
hazard (red triangle) warning indicator is illuminated and the vehicle will shut down and/or not start.

• DTC P0AE1:00 (High Voltage Battery Precharge Contactor Circuit: No Sub Type Information) -
Fault sets when the precharge contactor attempts to close and current flow exceeds set values. This

High-Voltage Converter/Inverter

DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC)

WARNING: To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and
service instructions, including instructions to depower the system. The high-voltage hybrid system
utilizes approximately 300 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and
modules. The high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire
covering. All high-voltage components are marked with high-voltage warning labels with a high-voltage
symbol. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

The DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC) is a liquid-cooled component that converts high-voltage
(179-343 volts) DC power from the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) to low-voltage (12 volts) DC
power. This charges the 12-volt battery through the low-voltage battery cables and powers the low-voltage
electrical systems, eliminating the need for a conventional engine-driven generator. It utilizes a dedicated
control module, which is part of the DC/DC . The DC/DC communicates with other modules over the High
Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus, and is located on the RH frame rail, behind the radiator
support.

High-Voltage Cable Assembly

WARNING: To prevent the risk of high-voltage shock, always follow precisely all warnings and
service instructions, including instructions to depower the system. The high-voltage hybrid system
utilizes approximately 300 volts DC, provided through high-voltage cables to its components and
modules. The high-voltage cables and wiring are identified by orange harness tape or orange wire
covering. All high-voltage components are marked with high-voltage warning labels with a high-voltage
symbol. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

All cables that carry high voltage are integrated into a single high-voltage cable assembly that runs between
the DC/DC , the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT), the Air Conditioning
Compressor Module (ACCM) and the HVTB . The high-voltage cable assembly can be serviced separately
from the rest of the high-voltage system.

DC/AC Inverter and AC Power Point

The DC/AC inverter converts low voltage (12 volts) DC to 110 volts AC to power a device that uses AC
power with a rating of less than 150 watts. The DC/AC inverter is located behind the RH rear seat bolster, and
is a serviceable part. The AC power point is located in the rear of the floor console and can be serviced
separately from the floor console.

Principles of Operation - DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC)

The DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC) is a liquid-cooled component that converts high voltage
(179-343 volts) DC power to low voltage (12 volts) DC power, while maintaining electrical isolation between
the 2 systems. The DC/DC is enabled when the High Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB) contactors have
closed, providing high-voltage power to the DC/DC (for information on the HVTB system, refer to Section
414-03 ). The DC/DC steps the high voltage down to a low-voltage (between 12 and 15 volts, depending on
vehicle needs), providing power to the vehicle low-voltage battery systems. The DC/DC also charges the
12-volt battery through the low-voltage battery cables as necessary, eliminating the need for a conventional
engine-driven generator. Depending on vehicle and environmental conditions, the DC/DC is capable of
outputting as many as 145 amps to the 12-volt battery.

The DC/DC is liquid-cooled and is part of the Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS). In addition to the
DC/DC , the MECS also provides cooling of the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable
Transmission (eCVT). For information on the MECS , refer to Section 307-02B .

The DC/DC communicates on the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). When a fault is sensed by
the DC/DC , a DTC is set and can be retrieved using a scan tool connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
The PCM communicates charging needs of the 12-volt system to the DC/DC over the HS-CAN , enabling the
DC/DC to control low-voltage charging operations.

The DC/DC receives the following HS-CAN messages:

• Transmission Control Module (TCM) high-voltage input, via the TCM


• Ignition status, via the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
• MECS coolant temperature, via the PCM
• "Ready Indicator Light" illumination request, via the PCM
• Transaxle gear mode, via the PCM
• DC/DC enable and low-voltage set point request, via the PCM

Faults with the DC/DC system that cause low or excessively high 12-volt battery voltage will result in the
DC/DC sending a HS-CAN message to the IPC requesting the CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM message be

High-Voltage Converter/Inverter 5657


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
displayed in the message center.

Principles of Operation - High-Voltage Cable Assembly

The high-voltage cable assembly contains 4 basic circuits:

• The high-voltage/high-amperage cables run between the HVTB and the eCVT .
• The high-voltage/low-amperage cables run from the HVTB to the DC/DC and the Air Conditioning
Compressor Module (ACCM).
• The interlock circuit consists of small-gauge wiring wrapped around the high-voltage cables. It is a
continuous, single circuit used to monitor the integrity of the high-voltage connections. The interlock
connectors are part of the high-voltage cable connectors and are either disconnected at the same time
as the high-voltage cable, or must be disconnecd before the high-voltage cable depending upon the
type of connection being serviced.
• The AC power point high-voltage wiring and LED indicator circuits between the DC/AC inverter and
the AC power point.

All high-voltage wiring utilizes orange insulation as well as orange tape and/or harness tubing.

Principles of Operation - DC/AC Inverter and AC Power Point

The DC/AC inverter converts 12 volts DC to 110 volts AC to power a device that uses AC electricity with a
rating of less than 150 watts. The 110 volts AC created by the inverter will measure differently than a
conventional AC outlet (utility-generated) with some multi-meters. The AC power point will automatically
shut off if the load exceeds 150 watts, to help prevent damage to the inverter or load. The inverter supplies
110 volts AC power only when the ignition is in the ON/START position. This reduces the draw on the
12-volt system when the vehicle is not running. The AC power point is equipped with a green LED that
indicates the system integrity.

• Green LED illuminates continuously - ignition in ON/START and system is operating normally.
• Green LED flashes continuously - ignition in ON/START and a fault is detected.
• Green LED does not illuminate - ignition is not in ON/START, fault on the RUN/START circuit
input to the DC/AC inverter or the DC/AC inverter is not powered (fault with DC/AC inverter B+ or
ground circuits).

Short circuits, overloads or overheating of the inverter will cause the green LED to flash and the power to be
cut off to the outlet. If the LED is flashing, the problem must be corrected (short circuit or excessive load). If
the DC/AC inverter is overheated, it must be allowed time to cool off (without the load connected). Refer to
the Owner's Literature for a list of appropriate electrical loads/devices that can be used.

Normal Operation

The DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC) provides power for the low-voltage vehicle systems and
charging of the 12-volt battery. The DC/DC can receive a High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
message from the PCM indicating that the Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS) temperature exceeds
80°C (176°F). Because of this, the DC/DC may limit current output to 100 amps (maximum output is
normally greater than 100 amps). When either condition is present, DTC P0A94:4B sets and the DC/DC will
continue limiting current until the over-temperature condition clears. Periodic or constant heavy electrical
loads of the 12-volt system may cause the 12-volt battery to become drained. Reduced functionality of 12-volt
systems (headlamps, HVAC blower motor, etc.) may also be noticed.

The DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC) is cooled by the Motor Electronics Cooling System
(MECS). The DC/DC monitors its temperature internally. If the internal temperature becomes excessive, DTC
P0AF7:00 sets and the DC/DC will be in standby mode ( DC/DC disabled) until the over-temperature
condition clears. Presence of this DTC will result in CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM being displayed in the
message center and the 12-volt battery eventually becoming drained. Reduced or no functionality of 12-volt
systems (headlamps, HVAC blower motor, etc.) may also be noticed.

schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The DC to DC Converter Control Module (DC/DC) monitors the high voltage available from the High
Voltage Traction Battery (HVTB). The DC/DC compares that high-voltage reading with the high voltage
available to the Transmission Control Module (TCM), which is communicated via a High Speed Controller
Area Network (HS-CAN) message. When the DC/DC compares its available high voltage to that available to
the TCM and determines the difference to be 150 volts or more, it will set DTC P0AFA:13 and request the
CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM message be displayed in the message center. The DC/DC will attempt to
maintain operation. An open high-voltage, low-current fuse (located in the high-voltage Bussed Electrical
Center (BEC)) may cause the DC/DC and Air Conditioning Compressor Module (ACCM) to be
non-functional, resulting in the 12-volt battery eventually becoming drained. Reduced or no functionality of
12-volt systems (headlamps, HVAC blower motor, etc.) may also be noticed.

• DTC P0AFA:13 (Hybrid Battery System Voltage Low: Circuit Open) - Sets when the difference in
high voltage between the TCM and DC/DC is greater than 150 volts.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


• High-voltage BEC

Principles of Operation

Audio Front Control Module (ACM)

The Audio Front Control Module (ACM) can be operated with the key 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 off and a front
door has not been opened. The ACM sends AC voltage audio signals to the speakers or to the amplifiers,
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).

Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM)

The Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) acts as a customer interface with the audio system and the
climate control system. When a switch is pressed, a message is broadcast over the MS-CAN . When a climate
control switch is pressed, the HVAC module sends a message back to the FCIM to illuminate the correct
switches to indicate the status of the climate control system.

Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)

For vehicles without navigation, the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) is a stand-alone module. It
receives messages for all of its displays, which include:

• Audio information
• Climate control fan speed and temperature setting
• Outside air temperature

Information and Entertainment System 5700


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

• Compass heading

For vehicles with navigation, the FDIM is hardwired to the ACM . When the touchscreen is pressed, a signal
is sent to the ACM , which acts on the signal either by changing the audio setting or by broadcasting a
message via the MS-CAN to the module controlling the function that was selected. The audio system,
navigation, and climate control video feed to the FDIM is provided by the ACM . If equipped with a rear view
camera, the video feed for the camera is provided directly by the rear view camera.

Satellite Audio

The satellite radio antenna receives digital audio signals and sends them to the ACM through the satellite
radio antenna cable.

Antenna â Fusion

The antenna receives AM/FM radio waves, and satellite radio signals (if equipped with satellite radio). All
audio signals are sent to the ACM through the antenna cables.

Antenna â MKZ

The antenna receives both AM and FM radio waves. The antenna is built into the rear window glass. An
antenna module is utilized to isolate the signals. The audio signals are then sent to the ACM through the
AM/FM antenna cable. If equipped with satellite radio, the satellite radio antenna is mounted to the roof. It
receives digital audio signals and sends them to the ACM .

Sony® Sound

For vehicles with the Sony® sound system, audio signals are sent from the ACM to the audio Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) module, which processes the audio signals and sends them to all of the speakers. The audio
DSP module uses internal software to produce an optimal sound environment. The audio DSP module
communicates on the MS-CAN . Customer preference settings such as fade and balance are broadcast to the
audio DSP module by the ACM .

THX® Sound

For vehicles with the THX® sound system, the audio DSP module provides theatre quality sound in the
vehicle. Audio signals are sent from the ACM to the audio DSP module, which processes the audio signals
and sends them to all of the speakers. An enable detection circuit is utilized for the amplifier (internal to the
audio DSP module). The circuit turns the amplifier on. The audio DSP module communicates on the
MS-CAN . Customer preference settings such as fade and balance are broadcast to the audio DSP module by
the ACM .

Navigation System

The vehicle navigation system guides the user to a pre-entered destination. No navigation map DVD is
needed, as the map guidance information is stored in the ACM hard-drive. The ACM calculates route
information based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The ACM also uses vehicle speed and
transmission gear selected signals received through the MS-CAN to detect vehicle speed and direction,
resulting in more accurate navigation tracking.

The navigation display is shown on the FDIM . Either the FDIM touchscreen or the buttons on the FCIM can
be used to interact with the navigation system.

The compass heading is derived from the GPS antenna signal. There are no serviceable parts for the compass.

Information and Entertainment System 5701


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

A voice recognition system allows the user to interface with the system without using the touchscreen. A
microphone provides the voice recognition input. The microphone is shared with the SYNC® system.

Jukebox Feature

The navigation ACM contains a 10 gigabyte on-board hard drive that is capable of storing music ripped
(recorded) from a music disc. The music can be loaded into the jukebox by inserting a disc (in the correct
format) and following the on-screen instructions to load the music into the ACM . The jukebox cannot rip
MP3 discs.

SYNC® System

The SYNC® system allows interaction with several types of customer devices, including mobile phones and
media devices. 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 CAN .

The APIM can receive inputs from the following audio sources:

• USB port
• Audio input jack
• 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 only plays 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 if the device supports this feature.

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.

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 media device can be connected to the system at any one time. If

Information and Entertainment System 5702


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
an 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, refer to the SyncMyRide website .

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 can 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
automatically indexes the information. This may take 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 updates 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 on the MS-CAN and High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).
Communication with the scan tool is established through the HS-CAN .

Global Positioning System Module (GPSM)

The Global Positioning System Module (GPSM) provides vehicle location for real-time traffic reports and
re-routing, and for identifying vehicle location in the event of a collision. The vehicle location information is
broadcast to the APIM over the MS-CAN . The GPSM is part of the SYNC® system and is only present for
vehicles without navigation.

Voice Recognition For Vehicles With Navigation And The SYNC® System

When the audio system enters voice recognition mode, the ACM initially controls the voice recognition
feature. The microphone is wired directly to the APIM , which relays the microphone input to the ACM
through dedicated wiring. If the first command spoken is part of the ACM voice recognition set, the ACM
retains control of the voice recognition and takes the appropriate action(s). If the first command spoken is part
of the APIM voice recognition set, the ACM shuts off its own voice recognition and broadcasts a Controller
Area Network (CAN) message to the APIM , transferring the voice recognition to the SYNC® system and
providing the voice command that was spoken. The ACM controls the voice engine for the base audio,
navigation, and climate control systems. The APIM controls the voice engine for the SYNC® system ( USB
port, audio input jack, Bluetooth).

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.

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 MS-CAN :

• ACM
• Navigation ACM
• Audio DSP module (Sony® sound)
• Audio DSP module (THX® sound)
• FCIM
• FDIM (vehicles without navigation)
• APIM
• GPSM

There are numerous messages internal to the audio system. The functions of these messages include (but are
not limited to):

• Changing the audio source


• Changing equalizer settings
• Updating the FDIM display
• Dialing phone numbers from the FCIM (if equipped with the SYNC® system)

In addition, the following messages are utilized by the audio system in conjunction with systems outside of
the audio system:

Pinpoint Test A: Poor Reception â AM/FM

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation â Fusion

The AM/FM antenna receives AM and FM radio waves and transmits them to the Audio Front Control
Module (ACM) through the AM/FM antenna cable. The ACM powers the AM/FM antenna in order to
amplify the AM signal.

MKZ

The AM/FM radio antenna, integral to the rear window, receives AM and FM radio waves. The antenna
module sends the radio waves to the ACM through the AM/FM antenna cable.

Normal Operation â Fusion 5723


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
All Vehicles

The noise suppression equipment reduces engine ignition and electrical systems interference transmitted
through the speakers.

The RDS function allows the vehicle operator to choose which genre (category) of music to listen to. When
the SCAN button is pressed, the ACM only stops at channels falling within the selected category. If no
channel in the selected category is found, the ACM continues to scan without stopping. This may appear to be
a reception issue, but it is actually due to the customer setting.

than the pre-configured threshold value during the self-test.
• DTC B2103 (Antenna Not Connected) â sets when the signal strength is less than the
pre-configured threshold value during the self-test. This DTC applies to base and mid-level sound

Pinpoint Test B: Poor Reception/Poor Sound Quality/No Sound â Satellite Radio

Normal Operation

Digital signals are received by the satellite radio antenna and sent to the Audio Front Control Module (ACM),
as the satellite radio receiver is built-in to the ACM .

A short to ground in the satellite radio antenna typically has no effect on the antenna signal. However, an open
in the antenna circuit results in no sound from the satellite radio system. A short to voltage in the antenna
circuit can have varying effects on the system.

Obstructions to the antenna line of sight can affect reception, but this is considered normal operation. Possible
obstructions include hills, tall buildings, tunnels, and being parked inside a garage. Be sure the vehicle is in a
clear area, free of obstructions, before testing satellite radio reception.

Normal Operation

The Audio Front Control Module (ACM) directs audio signals to the speakers in the form of an AC voltage.
The ACM provides internal circuit protection for shorts to ground or shorts to voltage.

A short to ground or short to voltage in the circuitry to one of the speakers can cause multiple speakers to lose
sound due to the built-in overload protection feature of the ACM . In this case, a speaker fault DTC sets, and
this pinpoint test should be followed to isolate the damaged circuit.

It should also be noted that when the ACM activates the built-in overload protection, DTC B1342 may also be
set. The circuit failure must be repaired before DTC B1342 can be cleared.

The speaker walk test can be used to isolate a concern with a particular speaker. This can reduce the
diagnostic steps necessary to isolate the concern. To carry out the speaker walk test, refer to Audio Control
Module (ACM) Self-Diagnostic Mode in this section.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Audio Front Control Module (ACM) directs audio signals to the audio amplifier and to the subwoofer
amplifier in the form of an AC voltage. The amplifiers boost the audio signals and send them to the speakers.
The ACM provides internal circuit protection for shorts to ground or shorts to voltage.

A short to ground or short to voltage in the circuitry to one of the speakers may cause multiple speakers to
lose sound due to the built-in overload protection feature of the ACM . In this case, a speaker fault DTC sets,
and this pinpoint test should be followed to isolate the damaged circuit.

The speaker walk test can be used to isolate a concern with a particular speaker. This can reduce the
diagnostic steps necessary to isolate the concern. To carry out the speaker walk test, refer to Audio Control
Module (ACM) Self-Diagnostic Mode in this section.

To enable the amplifiers, the ACM sends voltage through individual enable/clip circuits. The circuits act as
both an output (to enable the amplifier) and an input (to detect an overload condition). The voltage sent by the
ACM passes through a variable resistor in each amplifier, then to ground. As the amplifier reaches maximum
output, the resistance in the variable resistor decreases. This decreases the voltage drop, resulting in the ACM
detecting a higher voltage on the enable/clip circuit. When the voltage reaches the clip threshold, the ACM
clips the audio output signal to the amplifier (heard as distortion), in order to prevent damage to the amplifier
and speakers.

The enable/clip status is based on the following voltages, as detected by the ACM :

• Less than 0.4 volt: amplifier disabled


• Between 3.8 and 6.7 volts (nominal): amplifier enabled
• Greater than 8.5 volts: amplifier clipped

An open in the enable/clip circuit causes the speakers powered by that particular amplifier to produce no
sound because the enable signal does not reach the audio amplifier. A short to ground or short to voltage can
cause severe distortion to be heard in the speakers.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Audio Front Control Module (ACM) directs the audio signals to the audio Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) module in the form of an AC voltage. The audio DSP module boosts the audio signals and sends them
to the speakers. The audio DSP module provides internal circuit protection for shorts to ground or shorts to
voltage.

A short to ground or short to voltage in the circuit to one of the speakers may cause multiple speakers to lose
sound due to the built-in overload protection feature of the audio DSP module. In this case, a speaker fault
DTC sets, and this pinpoint test should be followed to isolate the damaged circuit.

The ACM sends the audio signals to the audio DSP module in the following banks:

Speaker Bank Speakers


LH front (without navigation) All LH speakers
LH front (navigation) LF door, LF tweeter, LH instrument panel
RH front (without navigation) All RH speakers
RH front (navigation) RF door, RF tweeter, RH instrument panel
LH rear (navigation) LR door
RH rear (navigation) RR door
Center imaging (navigation) Center instrument panel, LH parcel shelf, RH parcel shelf
Subwoofer (navigation) Subwoofer #1, subwoofer #2

For vehicles with navigation, it is also important to note that if the navigation voice guidance setting is set too
low, it may appear that the front speakers intermittently produce no sound. Make sure the voice guidance
setting is set high enough to hear the voice guidance commands before addressing a concern with the front
speakers.

The speaker walk test can be used to isolate a concern with a particular speaker. This can reduce the
diagnostic steps necessary to isolate the concern. To carry out the speaker walk test, refer to Audio Control
Module (ACM) Self-Diagnostic Mode in this section.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Audio Front Control Module (ACM) directs the audio signals to the audio Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) module in the form of an AC voltage. The audio DSP module boosts the audio signals and sends them
to the speakers. The audio DSP module provides internal circuit protection for shorts to ground or shorts to
voltage.

A short to ground or short to voltage in the circuit to one of the speakers may cause multiple speakers to lose
sound due to the built-in overload protection feature of the audio DSP module. In this case, a speaker fault
DTC sets, and this pinpoint test should be followed to isolate the damaged circuit.

The ACM sends the audio signals to the audio DSP module in the following banks:

Speaker Bank Speakers


LH front (without navigation) All LH speakers
LH front (navigation) LF door, LF tweeter, LH instrument panel
RH front (without navigation) All RH speakers
RH front (navigation) RF door, RF tweeter, RH instrument panel
LH rear (navigation) LR door
RH rear (navigation) RR door
Center imaging (navigation) Center instrument panel, LH parcel shelf, RH parcel shelf
Subwoofer (navigation) Subwoofer #1, subwoofer #2

For vehicles with navigation, it is also important to note that if the navigation voice guidance setting is set too
low, it may appear that the front speakers intermittently produce no sound. Make sure the voice guidance
setting is set high enough to hear the voice guidance commands before addressing a concern with the front
speakers.

The speaker walk test can be used to isolate a concern with a particular speaker. This can reduce the
diagnostic steps necessary to isolate the concern. To carry out the speaker walk test, refer to Audio Control
Module (ACM) Self-Diagnostic Mode in this section.

Pinpoint Test G: No Sound From All Speakers

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation â All Vehicles

When the ignition is in the START position, voltage is supplied to the Audio Front Control Module (ACM)
through the START sense circuit. When the ACM receives this voltage, it mutes the speaker output.

Vehicles With Sony® Sound or THX® Sound

The ACM mutes the speaker output by removing the enable voltage to the audio Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) module when the ignition is in the START position to prevent popping in the speakers as a result of
voltage spikes during engine cranking. However, if there is a short to voltage on the enable circuit, the ACM
continuously mutes the audio output, resulting in no sound from all speakers.

To enable the audio DSP module, the ACM sends voltage through the enable circuit. The enable status is
based on the following voltage, as detected by the ACM :

• Less than 0.4 volt: amplifier disabled


• Between 3.8 and battery voltage: amplifier enabled

An open in the enable circuit causes the audio system to produce no sound because the enable signal does not
reach the audio DSP module.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Fuse
• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• Audio DSP module (Sony® sound, THX® sound)
• ACM

PINPOINT TEST G: NO SOUND FROM ALL SPEAKERS

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct
probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.

NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to

Pinpoint Test I: The Satellite Radio Is Inoperative/Does Not Operate Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Digital signals are received by the satellite radio antenna and sent to the Audio Front Control Module (ACM)
through the satellite radio antenna cable. The satellite radio receiver is internal to the ACM .

When a satellite radio subscription is activated, the Electronic Serial Number (ESN) of the built-in satellite
radio receiver is associated with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). As a result, the ACM cannot be
swapped from one vehicle to another.

When there is an open in the satellite radio antenna circuit, there is no satellite audio. The audio system
display indicates a satellite radio antenna concern when the audio system is operated in satellite radio mode.
To diagnose an open in the satellite radio antenna circuit, GO to Pinpoint Test B .

Pinpoint Test O: The Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) Is Completely Inoperative â Vehicles
With Navigation

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Audio Front Control Module (ACM) enables the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) by sending
voltage through the enable circuit.

Video display information is sent to the FDIM from the ACM through a dedicated video cable. The video
cable is only serviced by overlaying a new component.

If there is a fault in the video cable, the FDIM may illuminate very dimly and have a greyish appearance. This
is because the enable circuit is still active and enables the illumination, but no video signal reaches the FDIM .

PINPOINT TEST N: THE FDIM IS COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE â VEHICLES WITHOUT NAVIGATION


5795
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

If the vehicle is equipped with a rear view camera, the video feed from the camera is hardwired to the FDIM .

For all other display information, including the climate control and SYNC® system displays, messages are
sent to the ACM via the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The ACM then alters the video
feed to the FDIM based on the messages it receives.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Fuse
• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• FDIM
• ACM

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio System/Navigation
for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Video from a DVD played in the Audio Front Control Module (ACM) is transmitted to the Front Display
Interface Module (FDIM) through dedicated video circuits. This video feed is separate from all other video
sources, so it is possible for the FDIM to operate correctly until a DVD video is played.

DVD video playback through the ACM is only enabled when the vehicle is in PARK. In all other gears, only
the DVD audio is played. This is normal operation.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Pinpoint Test Q: The Steering Wheel Controls Are Inoperative/Do Not Operate Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 130 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Audio/Navigation for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

There are 3different steering wheel controls configurations:

• Without the SYNC® system


♦ VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, SEEK+, MEDIA
♦ All switches are wired to the Audio Front Control Module (ACM)
• SYNC® system without navigation
♦ VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, SEEK+, MEDIA, PHONE, OK
♦ The VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, and SEEK+ switches are wired to the ACM . The remaining
switches are wired to the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM).
• SYNC® system with navigation
♦ VOL-, VOL+, SEEK-, SEEK+, VOICE, MEDIA, PHONE
♦ All switches are wired to the ACM

Voltage is sent from the ACM (or APIM ) to the steering wheel controls, and the same module grounds the
return circuit. The VOL-, VOL+, SEEK- and SEEK+ switches share signal and return circuits, while the
VOICE, MEDIA, PHONE and OK switches share separate signal and return circuits.

For all configurations, when a switch is pressed, the voltage is routed through a specific resistor value for each
function. The ACM (or APIM ) then uses the reference voltage to determine which control input function has
been selected.

Normal Operation

Voltage is sent through the start input circuit to the Audio Front Control Module (ACM) with the ignition in
the START position. Upon receiving this signal, the ACM mutes all speaker outputs to eliminate the
possibility of voltage spikes producing a popping noise through the speakers.

For premium sound, the ACM disables the audio amplifier and subwoofer amplifier while the ignition is in

For the Sony® and THX® sound systems, the ACM disables the audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
module while the ignition is in the START position by keeping the enable circuit voltage below 0.4 volt.

If there is a short to voltage on any of the enable circuits, distortion is heard in the speakers whenever the

Pinpoint Test U: The Audio Does Not Reduce When The Parking Aid Tone Sounds

Normal Operation

The Parking Aid Module (PAM) sends the volume cutback message to the Audio Front Control Module
(ACM) via the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). When the PAM sounds the parking aid
tone, it broadcasts an enabled message to the ACM . When the ACM receives this message, it reduces the
speaker output so that the parking aid tone can be heard more clearly.

• DTC U0159 (Lost Communication With Parking Assist Control Module ( PAM )) â set by the

Pinpoint Test X: The Position Cursor Is Inaccurate

Normal Operation

The primary source of vehicle location for the navigation system is the Audio Front Control Module (ACM)
receiving the position signal through the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna (integral to the satellite
radio antenna).

In addition, the ACM receives the navigation rolling wheel count signal from the Instrument Panel Cluster
(IPC) (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.

Pinpoint Test AA: Unable To Pair Bluetooth Device

Normal Operation

When a new Bluetooth device is added, the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) and the Bluetooth
device must be paired together. Most Bluetooth devices can pair with the SYNC® system, although
functionality may vary. To determine if a Bluetooth device is supported, retrieve the Consumer Interface
Processor (CIP) software level using the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) Software Level Check
in this section, and verify the customer device is on the compatibility list for the current CIP software level.

Pairing a Bluetooth device is accomplished through the "Add Device" selection of the phone menu. When
pairing a device, the SYNC® system generates a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) that must be
entered on the Bluetooth device in order for the pairing process to be successful. There are also some
device-specific actions that must take place. For additional information on the pairing process, refer to the
Owner's Literature.

Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011
OPERATION

Exterior Lighting

NOTE: If equipped, the perimeter lighting feature can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, the exterior
lamps are illuminated when the UNLOCK button is pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
Refer to Section 501-14 for programming and diagnostics.

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Exterior Lighting System

The exterior lighting system consists of the following components:

• Headlamps
• Ballasts (if equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps) (located on the underside of
each headlamp)
• Front side marker lamps
• Rear side marker lamps
• Rear lamp assemblies
• High mounted stoplamp
• Reversing lamps
• Headlamp switch
• Multifunction switch
• Hazard flasher lamp switch (located in front of the instrument panel storage bin for Fusion or the
lower portion of the center instrument panel finish panel for MKZ)
• Light sensor
• Stoplamp switch
• Reversing lamp switch (located on the forward side of the manual transaxle)
• SJB (located to the left of the brake pedal)
• Headlamp Control Module (HCM) (located next to the SJB )

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.

Lamp Assembly Condensation

Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural
by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility
that condensation can occur if the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal

Exterior Lighting 5961


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

operation. Time to clear the lens of acceptable mist varies with ambient humidity and lamp types. Normal
condensation clears from any lamp in 48 hours under dry conditions.

Do not replace a lamp assembly with acceptable levels of condensation such as:

• presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets are present)
• fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens

Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp housing leak):

• water puddling inside the lamp


• large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of the lens

Headlamps - Fusion

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 lamp integrated into the headlamp assembly.

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.

When the low beams are requested (based on inputs to the SJB ), the low beams are illuminated.

When the high beams are requested, the high beams are illuminated with the low beams.

When the flash-to-pass feature is requested, the high beams are illuminated for as long as the multifunction
switch is held in the FLASH-TO-PASS position.

Headlamps - MKZ

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 and side marker lamps integrated into the headlamp assembly.

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.

When the low beams are requested (based on inputs to the SJB ), the low beams are illuminated.

When the high beams are requested, the high beams are illuminated with the low beams.

When the flash-to-pass feature is requested, the high beams are illuminated for as long as the multifunction
switch is held in the FLASH-TO-PASS position.

High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps

Each HID headlamp consists of a ballast and replaceable low and higam bulbs. The ballasts provide the higher
voltage required for the HID bulbs to illuminate.

When the low beams are on, the HID ballasts provide high voltage to the HID bulbs.

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

Exterior Lighting 5962


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

OFF position (20 seconds is the factory default setting). The pre-selected time lapse is adjustable up to
approximately 3 minutes. To adjust the setting, refer to Autolamps Time Delay Adjustment in this section.

Headlamps On With Wipers On Feature

If the headlamp switch is in the AUTOLAMPS ON position, this feature turns the exterior lamps on when 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 exception to this is when the exterior lights are on because of
darkness determined by the autolamp system.

Refer to Section 501-16 for diagnostics of the headlamps on with wipers on feature.

Stoplamps

NOTE: The Fusion high mounted stoplamp has 9 LEDs mounted in the center third portion of the assembly.
The outer left and right portions of the high mounted stoplamp are not illuminated. The high mounted
stoplamp is not designed to illuminate the full width of the lens.

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. Fusion utilizes combination stop/turn
lamps while MKZ has dedicated rear turn lamps. 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.

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.

For Fusion, the hazard flasher lamp switch is mounted to the instrument panel upper storage compartment
panel.

For MKZ, the hazard flasher lamp switch is part of the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM).

Parking Lamps

The SJB supplies voltage to the parking lamps when demanded. The parking lamps include the following:

• Front parking lamps


• Front side marker lamps
• Rear parking lamps
• Rear side marker lamps
• License plate lamps

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 is in run or accessory, the parking lamps
are on, and the high beam headlamps are off.

Exterior Lighting 5963


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps, the fog lamps are used for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), if
this feature is enabled.

Reversing Lamps

When the transmission is placed in REVERSE (R), the reversing lamps are illuminated. The reversing lamps
are located within the rear lamp assemblies (Fusion) or mounted to the luggage compartment lid (MKZ).

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

On vehicles with halogen headlamps, the DRL system illuminates the low beam headlamps at a reduced
intensity.

On vehicles with HID headlamps, the DRL system operates the fog lamps at full intensity by energizing the
fog lamp relay.

The DRL turn on when the following conditions are met:

• 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) (automatic transaxle).
• The parking brake is released (manual transaxle).

The SJB can be configured to turn the DRL on for this vehicle. Refer to Section 418-01 for additional
information on this programmable parameter.

Adaptive Headlighting

Vehicles equipped with adaptive front lighting have a Headlamp Control Module (HCM) to control the
left/right swiveling of the headlamp bulbs. Depending on the inputs received (steering wheel angle and
vehicle speed for example), the adaptive front lighting module HCM can change the angle at which the
headlamps are aimed (left or right) to improve nighttime visibility around curves.

The swiveling motor within each headlamp (used to control the angle of the headlamp beams) are part of the
headlamp assembly and cannot be repaired separately.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Exterior Lighting

The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending voltage 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 switched to ground.

If the SJB does not detect any of the inputs to the headlamp switch is active (switched to ground) for 5
seconds, the SJB turns on the parking lamps and headlamps and keeps them on until the battery saver feature
times out.

Additionally, if the SJB detects multiple headlamp switch input circuits short to ground, the SJB turns the
parking lamps and headlamps on and keeps them on until the battery saver feature times out.

Refer to Exterior Lighting for information regarding the Battery Saver feature.

If either of the above situations occur, the SJB cannot 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.

The SJB also monitors the multifunction switch for a flash-to-pass or high beam request. There are 2 voltage
signal 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 beam and
high beam bulbs as necessary.

Headlamp Functionality

Headlamps 5971
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

When the low beams are requested (based on inputs to the SJB ), the low beams are illuminated.

Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps utilize a relay to provide voltage to the
ballasts. When the HID relays are energized, the ballasts provide the required high voltage to illuminate the
HID bulbs.

When the high beams are requested, the high beams are illuminated and the low beams turn off.

When the flash-to-pass feature is requested, the high beams are illuminated as long as the multifunction
switch is held in the FLASH-TO-PASS position.

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that when used with module software can be used to
monitor and control current flow on module outputs. The FET protection strategy is used to prevent module
damage in the event of excessive current flow.

The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, a 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 event is detected. A continuous
DTC is stored at the fault event and a cumulative counter is started.

When the demand for the output is no longer present, the module resets the FET circuit protection to allow the
circuit to function. The next time the driver requests a circuit to activate that has been shut down by a previous
short ( FET protection) and the circuit remains shorted, the FET protection shuts off the circuit again and the
cumulative counter advances.

When the excessive circuit load occurs often enough, the module shuts down the output until a repair
procedure is carried out. Each FET protected circuit has 3 predefined levels of short circuit tolerance based on
the harmful effect of each circuit fault on the FET and the ability of the FET to withstand it. A module
lifetime level of fault events is established based upon the durability of the FET . If the total tolerance level is
determined to be 600 fault events, the 3 predefined levels would be 200, 400 and 600 fault events.

When each tolerance level is reached, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure cannot be
cleared 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 self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the
self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), DTC B106E and the associated
continuous DTC (the DTC related to the shorted circuit) automatically clears and the circuit function returns.

When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC (associated with the short circuit) sets along
with DTC B106E. These DTCs can be cleared using the module on-demand self-test, then the Clear DTC
operation on the scan tool (if the on-demand test shows the fault corrected). The module never resets the fault
event counter to zero and continues to advance the fault event counter as short circuit fault events occur.

If the number of short circuit fault events reach the third level, then DTCs B106F and 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 headlamps are the LH and RH low beam output circuits.

Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test A: Both High Beams Are Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 85 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Headlamps/Autolamps for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

When the headlamp switch is placed in the HEADLAMPS ON position, the Smart Junction Box (SJB)
monitors the high beam request circuit from the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is
placed in the HIGH BEAM position, the signal is switched to ground, indicating a request for the high beams.
The SJB then energizes the high beam relay (integrated into the SJB ) which supplies voltage to the
headlamps.

The SJB communicates to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) (over the communication network) to illuminate
the high beam indicator.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Fuse
• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• Multifunction switch
• SJB

PINPOINT TEST A: BOTH HIGH BEAMS ARE INOPERATIVE

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends voltage signals to the headlamp switch through individual circuits (OFF,
PARKING LAMPS and HEADLAMPS). At any given time, the headlamp switch routes one of the input
circuits to ground.

When the SJB detects the headlamp switch in the HEADLAMPS ON position (or a fault with one of the
headlamp switch input circuits for more than 5 seconds) and the multifunction switch in the LOW BEAM
position, the SJB provides voltage to the headlamps.

For MKZ equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, a relay is utilized to provide voltage for
the low beam headlamps.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Exterior Lighting

The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending voltage 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 switched to ground.

If the SJB does not detect any of the inputs to the headlamp switch is active (switched to ground) for 5
seconds, the SJB turns on the parking lamps and headlamps and keeps them on until the battery saver feature
times out.

Additionally, if the SJB detects multiple headlamp switch input circuits short to ground, the SJB turns the
parking lamps and headlamps on and keeps them on until the battery saver feature times out.

Refer to Exterior Lighting for information regarding the Battery Saver feature.

If either of the above situations occur, the SJB cannot 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.

Autolamps Feature

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.

Autolamps 5998
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

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 reacts quicker under extreme changes of ambient 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.

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 turn on. The exterior lamps turn 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 diagnostics regarding the headlamps on with wipers on feature, refer to Section 501-16 .

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.

4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

5. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM .

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM :

• Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.


• Check the scan tool connection to the VCM .
• Refer to Section 418-00 , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.

Autolamps 5999
2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:


• Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
• Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
• Refer to Section 418-00 to diagnose no response from the PCM.

7. Carry out the network test.


• If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Section
418-00 .
• If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the SJB .

9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in this

Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test G: The Autolamps Are Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 85 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Headlamps/Autolamps for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

When the Smart Junction Box (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 level has reached a point (determined by the internal
programming of the SJB ), the SJB provides voltage to the headlamps, parking and license plate lamps.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Light sensor
• SJB

PINPOINT TEST G: THE AUTOLAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE 6001


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
Pinpoint Test H: The Autolamps Are On Continuously

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 85 ( Fusion/MKZ , Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid ), Headlamps/Autolamps for
schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) sends a voltage signal to the headlamp switch to monitor the request for
autolamps and a voltage signal to the light sensor to determine the ambient light level.

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 level has reached a point (determined by the internal
programming of the SJB ), the SJB provides voltage to the headlamps, parking and license plate lamps.

The SJB also monitors the windshield wiper motor status by sending a voltage signal to the wiper/washer
module. When the windshield wiper is on (except during a mist wipe or while the wipers are on to clear
washer fluid during a wash condition), the wiper/washer module grounds the circuit to indicate to the SJB that
the wipers are on.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Fusion

When the brake pedal is applied, voltage is routed to the SJB and the high mounted stoplamp. The SJB then
supplies voltage to the rear stoplamps. The rear stoplamps are combination stop/turn lamps. The turn and
hazard lamp functions override the rear stoplamp function.

NOTE: The Fusion high mounted stoplamp has 9 LEDs mounted in the center third portion of the assembly.
The outer left and right portions of the high mounted stoplamp are not illuminated. The high mounted
stoplamp is not designed to illuminate the full width of the lens.

MKZ

When the brake pedal is applied, voltage is routed to the high mounted stoplamp, the rear stoplamps and the
SJB .

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The Smart Junction Box (SJB) monitors the multifunction switch position by sending voltage signals (for the
LH and RH turn input) to the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH TURN
positions that input signal is switched to ground.

The SJB monitors the request for the hazard lamps by sending a voltage signal to the hazard flasher lamp
switch. For MKZ, the hazard flasher lamp switch is integrated into the Front Controls Interface Module
(FCIM).

When the SJB receives a request for a turn signal or hazard lamps, the SJB supplies voltage to the appropriate
turn lamps.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.

4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

5. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM .

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM :

• Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.


• Check the scan tool connection to the VCM .
• Refer to Section 418-00 , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.

6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:


• Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
• Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
• Refer to Section 418-00 to diagnose no response from the PCM.

7. Carry out the network test.


• If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Section
418-00 .
• If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the SJB .

9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in this
section. For all other DTCs, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in Section 419-10 .

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The SJB monitors the headlamp switch position by sending voltage 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 switched to ground.

If the SJB does not detect any of the inputs to the headlamp switch is active (switched to ground) for 5
seconds, the SJB turns on the parking lamps and headlamps and keeps them on until the battery saver feature
times out.

Additionally, if the SJB detects multiple headlamp switch input circuits short to ground, the SJB turns the
parking lamps and headlamps on and keeps them on until the battery saver feature times out.

Refer to Exterior Lighting for information regarding the Battery Saver feature.

If either of the above situations occur, the SJB cannot 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.

When the SJB receives an input from the headlamp switch indicating a request for the parking lamps, the SJB
energizes the parking lamp relay, which supplies voltage to the exterior lamps.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

Principles of Operation

For vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle, the PCM (2.5L or 3.0L engine) or the Transmission
Control Module (TCM) (3.5L engine) controls the coil ground side of the reversing lamps relay. When the
vehicle is in reverse, the PCM or TCM energizes the reversing lamps relay to provide voltage to the reversing
lamps.

For vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle, the reversing lamp switch controls the coil ground side of the
reversing lamps relay. When the vehicle is in reverse, the reversing lamp switch contacts close to ground,
energizing the reversing lamps relay to provide voltage to the reversing lamps.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.

4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

5. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM .

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM :

• Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.


• Check the scan tool connection to the VCM .
• Refer to Section 418-00 , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.

6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:


• Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
• Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
• Refer to Section 418-00 to diagnose no response from the PCM.

7. Carry out the network test.


• If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Section
418-00 .
• If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PCM or TCM .

9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in this
section. For all other DTCs, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in Section 419-10 .

Normal Operation

Voltage is supplied from the Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 47 (10A) to the coil and switched sides of the
reversing lamps relay. When the reversing lamps relay is energized, voltage is routed to the reversing lamps.

Automatic Transaxle

The PCM (2.5L or 3.0L engines) or the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (3.5L engine) monitors the
transaxle gear status. When the PCM detects the transaxle in REVERSE (R), the PCM or TCM provides
ground for the reversing lamps relay coil.

Manual Transaxle

The reversing lamp switch controls the coil ground side of the reversing lamps relay. When the transaxle is in
REVERSE (R), the reversing lamp switch contacts close, completing the path to ground for the reversing
lamps relay coil.

• DTC P1910 (Reverse Lamp Control Circuit/Open) - sets when the PCM detects no voltage on the
reversing lamp relay coil ground control circuit (if the coil voltage supply circuit or the coil ground
control circuit is open).

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

Special Tool(s)

Vehicle Communication Module (VCM)


and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)
software with appropriate hardware, or
equivalent scan tool

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The SJB controls the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) by using various inputs to determine whether or not the
DRL should be illuminated. These inputs include:

• Ignition switch position


• Headlamp switch position
• Headlamps on or off
• Transmission gear selection (automatic transaxle)
• Parking brake applied or released (manual transaxle)

When the DRL is active, the SJB provides a pulse-width modulated voltage to the low beam headlamps. This
illuminates the headlamps at a reduced intensity.

The DRL is not a programmable parameter for this vehicle.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.

3. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).

4. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM .

If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM :

• Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.


• Check the scan tool connection to the VCM .
• Refer to Section 418-00 , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (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 straight-ahead position of the headlamps. 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).

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.

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, VOR or SAE only (includes sealed beam type)
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:
• SAE
• 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-, VOR- and SAE-type headlamps only. This is the
preferred method of headlamp aiming.
• Visual or screen method aiming can be used to aim VOL-, VOR- and SAE-type headlamps
only.
• 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.

Screen Method Aiming

All headlamp types

NOTE: Horizontal aim is not adjustable 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.

Headlamp Adjustment 6094


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
• 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.

2. NOTE: The vertical wall or screen must be a minimum of 2.4 m (8 ft) wide.

Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 m (25 ft) from the vertical wall or screen
directly in front of it.

3. NOTE: The center of the lamp is marked either on the lens (circle, crosshair or other mark) or on the
bulb shield internal to the lamp (crosshair or other mark).

Mark a horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen.

1. Measure the center of the headlamp height to ground and record the measurement.
2. Make a 2.4 m (8 ft) horizontal mark (using masking tape) on the vertical wall or screen at the
same distance from the ground as previously recorded.

4. NOTE: This procedure should be done in a dark environment to effectively see the headlamp beam
pattern.

Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood.

5. NOTE: For SAE-type headlamps, the appearance of the beam pattern may vary between vehicles.

On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam pattern. Place the top edge of the high
intensity zone even with the horizontal reference line.

SAE-type headlamps

6. In addition to the horizontal line marked in Step 3, a pair of vertical lines must be marked at the center
line of the headlamps on the wall or screen.
1. Mark the center line of the vehicle on the wall or screen.
2. Measure from the center of the headlamp to the center line of the vehicle.
3. Make two 1.5 m (5 ft) vertical marks (using masking tape) on the wall or screen at the same
distance from the vehicle center line as previously recorded.

Headlamp Adjustment 6095


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

7. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam pattern. Place the left edge of the high
intensity zone even with the vertical line corresponding to the headlamp being adjusted.

VOR-type headlamps

8. NOTE: The appearance of the VOR beam pattern may vary between vehicles.

Identify at the top edge of this high intensity area a distinct horizontal cutoff in the beam pattern. If
the top edge of this cutoff is not even with the horizontal reference line, the headlamp beam needs to
be adjusted.

VOL-type headlamps

9. For VOL-type headlamps, there is a distinct cutoff in the left portion of the beam pattern. The edge of
this cutoff should be positioned 50.2 mm (2 in) below the horizontal reference line.
1. Horizontal reference line.
2. Top edge of the beam pattern.
3. High intensity zone.

Mechanical Aiming

1. For the mechanical aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate mechanical headlamp aimer instruction
manual.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/03/2011

Interior Lighting

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The SJB controls all of the interior lighting functions. The interior lighting system consists of the following
components:

• SJB
• Instrument panel dimmer switch
• Interior/map lamps
• Luggage compartment lamp
• Vanity mirror lamps
• Puddle lamps (if equipped)
• Scuff plate lamps (if equipped)
• Door ajar switches
• Luggage compartment lid ajar switch
• Ambient lighting module (Fusion) (if equipped)
• Ambient lighting switch (part of the traction control switch for Fusion) (if equipped)
• Ambient lighting select switch (MKZ (if equipped))
• Ambient lighting dimmer switch (MKZ (if equipped))
• Interior Lighting Control Module (ILCM) (MKZ)

The interior lighting system consists of up to 3 subsystems:

• Courtesy lamps
• Demand lamps
• Ambient lighting (if equipped)

Courtesy Lamps

The courtesy lamp subsystem consists of the interior dome lamps, the instrument panel dimmer switch, the
overhead console lamps, scuff plate lamps (if equipped) and the puddle lamps (if equipped). The SJB supplies
voltage to the courtesy lamps when the SJB receives the required input.

Demand Lamps

The demand lamps subsystem consists of the front map lamps, and the left and right vanity mirror lamps. The
demand lamps are provided voltage from the battery saver relay (integrated into the SJB ) when the battery
saver relay is energized.

Ambient Lighting - Fusion

The ambient lighting subsystem consists of the ambient lighting module, ambient lighting select switch, and
LEDs located throughout the vehicle. The LEDs are located on the center console cupholders, the storage bin,
and the front and rear footwells. The ambient lighting system is powered through the accessory delay relay.
The ambient lighting only illuminates when the key is in the on position.

Ambient Lighting - MKZ

Interior Lighting 6151


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
The ambient lighting feature provides illumination to the center console cup holders, the storage bin, door
map pockets and the front and rear footwells.

There are 4 different color LEDs (red, blue, green and white) housed within each LED assembly. By
illuminating various color combinations, the LEDs are able to produce 7 different colors of ambient light.
With each press of the ambient lighting select switch, the ILCM cycles through a different color variation.
With each press of the ambient lighting dimmer switch, the ILCM changes the brightness setting of the
ambient lighting or turns the ambient lighting feature off. The module retains the last color and brightness
setting between uses.

Interior Lighting Delay

The interior lighting delay feature provides temporary illumination of the courtesy lamps after the doors are
opened and then closed. The interior lighting delay feature keeps the courtesy lamps on for a period of 25
seconds after all the doors are closed. If during the 25-second delay time, the SJB detects that the ignition has
been turned out of off if the vehicle is locked using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) or the keypad, the
courtesy lamps are turned off.

Illuminated Entry

The illuminated entry requests the courtesy lamps to illuminate when the ignition is OFF and either the RKE
transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed, or the vehicle is unlocked using the keypad. The illuminated entry
requests the courtesy lamps off:

• after 25 seconds have elapsed.


• when the ignition is switched to the OFF position.
• when the RKE transmitter LOCK button is pressed.
• when the vehicle is locked using the keypad

Illuminated Exit

NOTE: The puddle lamps are not illuminated for the illuminated exit feature.

The illuminated exit requests the courtesy lamps to illuminate for 25 second when all doors are closed and the
ignition key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder. The illuminated exit deactivates:

• when the ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder.
• when a door becomes ajar.
• after 25 seconds have elapsed.

Theater Lighting

The theater lighting feature ramps-up the courtesy lamps intensity over 0.7 second when courtesy lamp
activation is requested. The theater lighting feature ramps-down the courtesy lamps intensity over 1.7 seconds
when interior lighting deactivation is requested by any feature other than the panic alarm or battery saver.

Battery Saver

NOTE: Time-out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).

The SJB provides automatic shut-off of the demand lamps and courtesy lamps after a 10-minute time-out
period in order to save battery voltage. A timer in the SJB is started when the ignition is turned to the OFF
position and all the doors and liftgate are closed. When 10 minutes have elapsed, voltage is automatically shut
off to the lamps by the SJB .

Principles of Operation

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

When a vehicle door is ajar with the vehicle speed less than 15 km/h (9 mph) or 5 km/h (3 mph) for puddle
lamps, or a request from the instrument panel dimmer switch is received, the SJB provides voltage to the
interior courtesy and puddle lamp circuits. The SJB controls all interior lighting functions and timing by
monitoring inputs from the door ajar switches, the instrument panel dimmer switch, the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and vehicle speed.

Interior Lamp Arbitrator

The SJB chooses between the interior lighting, dome defeat, interior lighting delay, illuminated entry,
illuminated exit and battery saver to determine which feature has precedence of activating and deactivating
the interior lamps.

Ambient Lighting - Fusion

The ambient lighting feature provides illumination to the center console cup holders, the storage bin, and the
front and rear footwells The ambient lighting feature is powered by the accessory delay relay, which allows
the ambient lighting feature to be used independent of the parking lamps status.

The ambient lighting module provides voltage and ground to the LEDs. There are 3 different color (red, blue
and green) LEDs housed within each LED assembly. By illuminating various color combinations, the LEDs
are able to produce 7 different colors of ambient light. The ambient lighting switch is an input to the ambient
lighting module. With each press of the ambient lighting switch, the ambient lighting module cycles through a
different color variation or turns the ambient lighting feature off. The module retains the last color setting
between uses.

Ambient Lighting - MKZ

Interior Lighting 6154


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

The Interior Lighting Control Module (ILCM) provides voltage to the LEDs. There are 4 different color LEDs
(red, blue, green and white) housed within each LED assembly. By illuminating various color combinations,
the LEDs are able to produce 7 different colors of ambient light. The ambient lighting select switch and
ambient lighting dimmer switch are inputs to the ILCM . With each press of the ambient lighting select
switch, the ILCM cycles through a different color variation. With each press of the ambient lighting dimmer
switch, the ILCM changes the brightness setting of the ambient lighting or turns the ambient lightieature off.
The module retains the last color and brightness setting between uses.

Battery Saver

NOTE: Time-out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).

The SJB provides automatic shut-off of the demand lamps and courtesy lamps after a 10-minute time-out
period in order to save battery voltage. A timer in the SJB is started when the ignition is turned to the OFF
position and all the doors are closed. When the 10-minute time-out period has elapsed, the voltage is
automatically shut off to the lamps by the SJB .

To activate the battery saver feature, one of the following events must occur:

• The ignition is turned to any position other than OFF.


• Any door becomes ajar.
• The UNLOCK button of the RKE transmitter is pressed.
• A key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder.
• A valid keypad code is entered.
• The luggage compartment lid is opened.
• The instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in the DOME LAMP position.
• The headlamp switch is placed in the PARKING LAMPS or HEADLAMPS ON position.
• The multifunction switch is placed in the FLASH-TO-PASS position.
• The key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder.

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection

Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that when used with module software can be used to
monitor and control current flow on module outputs. The FET protection strategy is used to prevent module
damage in the event of excessive current flow.

The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, a 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 event is detected. A continuous
DTC is stored at the fault event and a cumulative counter is started.

When the demand for the output is no longer present, the module resets the FET circuit protection to allow the
circuit to function. The next time the driver requests a circuit to activate that has been shut down by a previous
short ( FET protection) and the circuit remains shorted, the FET protection shuts off the circuit again and the
cumulative counter advances.

When the excessive circuit load occurs often enough, the module shuts down the output until a repair
procedure is carried out. Each FET protected circuit has 3 predefined levels of short circuit tolerance based on
the harmful effect of each circuit fault on the FET and the ability of the FET to withstand it. A module
lifetime level of fault events is established based upon the durability of the FET . If the total tolerance level is
determined to be 600 fault events, the 3 predefined levels would be 200, 400 and 600 fault events.

When each tolerance level is reached, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure cannot be
cleared by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module does not allow this code to be cleared or the

Interior Lighting 6155


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
circuit restored to normal operation until a successful self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the
self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), DTC B106E and the associated
continuous DTC (the DTC related to the shorted circuit) automatically clears and the circuit function returns.

When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC (associated with the short circuit) sets along
with DTC B106E. These DTCs can be cleared using the module on-demand self-test, then the Clear DTC
operation on the scan tool (if the on-demand test shows the fault corrected). The module never resets the fault
event counter to zero and continues to advance the fault event counter as short circuit fault events occur.

If the number of short circuit fault events reach the third level, then DTCs B106F and 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 interior lighting system are the interior courtesy lamp and

Normal Operation

The Interior Lighting Control Module (ILCM) supplies voltagend ground to the LEDs located in the floor
console cup holders, storage tray, storage bin, door map pockets and the front and rear footwells. The ambient
lighting select switch is used to cycle through the 7 color combinations or to turn the ambient lighting feature
off. There are 4 different color (red, blue, green and white) LEDs housed within each LED assembly.

The ILCM sends a voltage signal to the ambient lighting select switch. When the ambient lighting switch (a
momentary contact switch) is pressed, the voltage signal is routed to ground indicating a request for the
module to cycle the ambient lighting to the next color setting.

Communications Network

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Multiplexing is a method of sending 2 or more signals simultaneously over a single circuit. Multiplexing is
used to allow 2 or more electronic modules (nodes) to communicate simultaneously over a twisted-wire pair
[data (+) and data (-)] network. The information or messages that can be communicated on these wires
consists of commands, status or data. The advantage of using multiplexing is to reduce the weight of the
vehicle by reducing the number of redundant components and electrical wiring.

The vehicle has 2 module communication networks which are connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC),
located under the instrument panel:

Network Termination

The CAN uses network termination to improve communication reliability. Termination modules are located at
both ends of the network. As network messages are broadcast in the form of voltage signals, the network
voltage signals are stabilized by the termination resistors.

Each termination module has an internal 120 ohm resistor that bridges across the positive and negative bus
connection. With two 120 ohm resistors located in a parallel circuit configuration, the total network
impedance, or total resistance, is 60 ohms.

Network termination improves bus message reliability by:

• stabilizing bus voltage.


• eliminating electrical interference.

Gateway Module

The IPC is the gateway module, translating messages on the HS-CAN to MS-CAN and vice versa. This
allows a message to be distributed throughout both networks. The IPC is the only module on this vehicle that
has this ability.

The IPC is the gateway module, translating messages on the HS-CAN to MS-CAN and vice versa. This
allows a message to be distributed throughout both networks. The IPC is the only module on this vehicle that
has this ability.

Principles of Operation

Both the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and the Medium Speed Controller Area Network
(MS-CAN) use an unshielded twisted-pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The HS-CAN operates at a
maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for applications in which modules must respond as
rapidly as required by the driver or needed by the process being controlled. The MS-CAN operates at a
maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages and is designed for general information transfer.

Controller Area Network (CAN) Fault Tolerance

NOTE: The oscilloscope traces below are from the IDS oscilloscope taken using the IDS pre-configured
CAN settings. The traces are for both data (+) and data (-) taken simultaneously (2-channel) at a sample rate
of 1 mega-sample per second (1MS/s) or greater.

Traces below are viewed at 500mV per division (vertical axis) and 20 microseconds (20µ) per division
(horizontal axis). Readings taken with a different oscilloscope vary from those shown. Compare any suspect
readings to a known good vehicle.

Normal CAN Operation

The data (+) and data (-) circuits are each regulated to approximately 2.5 volts during neutral or rested
network traffic. As messages ae sent on the data (+) circuit, voltage is increased by approximately 1.0 volt.
Inversely, the data (-) circuit is reduced by approximately 1.0 volt when a message is sent.

Successful communication of a message can usually be identified by the slight spike at the end of a message
transmission. Any signals that are significantly different than the normal CAN waveform may cause network
DTCs (U-codes) to set or may cause a complete network outage.

CAN Circuits Shorted Together

Normal CAN Operation 6218


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

In the event that the data (+) and data (-) circuits become shorted together, the signal stays at base voltage
(2.5V) continuously and all communication capabilities are lost.

CAN (+) Circuit Shorted To Ground

In the event that the data (+) circuit becomes shorted to ground, both the data (+) and data (-) circuits are
pulled low (0V) and all communication capabilities are lost.

CAN (-) Circuit Shorted To Ground

In the event that the data (-) circuit becomes shorted to ground, the data (-) circuit is pulled low (0V) and the
data (+) circuit reaches near-normal peak voltage (3.0V) during communication but falls to 0V instead of

CAN Circuits Shorted Together 6219


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
normal base voltage (2.5V). Communication may continue but at a degraded level.

CAN (+) Circuit Shorted To Battery Voltage

In the event that the data (+) circuit becomes shorted to battery voltage, the data (+) circuit is pulled high
(12V) and the data (-) circuit falls to abnormally high voltage (above 5V) during communication and reaches
battery voltage (12V) for peak voltage. Communication may continue but at a degraded level.

CAN (-) Circuit Shorted To Battery Voltage

In the event that the data (-) circuit becomes shorted to battery voltage, both the data (+) and data (-) circuits
are pulled high (12V) and all communication capabilities are lost.

CAN Circuit Signal Corruption

CAN (-) Circuit Shorted To Ground 6220


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual

Rhythmic oscillations, inductive spikes or random interference can disrupt the network communications. The
corruption signal source may be outside electrical interference such as motors or solenoids or internal
interference generated from a module on the network. In some cases, an open in either the data (+) or data (-)
circuit to a network module may cause the module to emit interference on the one circuit which is still
connected. The trace shown is an example of a "sawtooth" pattern transmitted from a module with one open
network circuit.

Other corruptions may be present when a module is intermittently powered up and down. The module on
power up may initiate communication out of sync with other modules on the network causing momentary
communication outages.

Controller Area Network (CAN) Multiplex Messages

Modules on the CAN utilize simultaneous communication of 2 or more messages on the same network
circuits. The following chart summarizes the messages sent and received on the network.

3. Connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).


• NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and
ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM .

If the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) does not communicate with the VCM :

♦ Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.


♦ Check the scan tool connection to the VCM .
♦ GO to Pinpoint Test AF , to diagnose No Power To The Scan Tool.

4. Establish a scan tool session.


• NOTE: The scan tool will first attempt to communicate with the PCM, after establishing
communication with the PCM, the scan tool will then attempt to communicate with all other
modules on the vehicle.

If an IDS session cannot be established with the vehicle, ( IDS may state "No communication
can be established with the PCM"):

♦ Choose "NO" when the scan tool prompts whether or not to retry communication.
♦ Enter either a PCM part number, tear tag or calibration number to identify the vehicle
and start a session (the PCM part number and 4-character tear tag are printed on the
PCM label).
♦ GO to Pinpoint Test A , to diagnose The PCM Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool.

5. Carry out the network test.


• If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs and proceed to
Step 6.
• If the network test fails, GO to Symptom Chart to diagnose the failed communication
network.
• If a module fails to communicate during the network test, GO to Symptom Chart .

CAN Circuit Signal Corruption 6255


2012 Fusion, MKZ, Fusion Hybrid, MKZ Hybrid Workshop Manual
6. Retrieve and review the DTCs.
• If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. Follow the non-network
DTC diagnostics (B-codes, C-codes, P-codes) prior to the network DTC diagnostics
(U-codes). For all other DTCs, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in Section
419-10 .
• If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart .

DTC Charts

NOTE: Network DTCs (U-codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as damaged wiring or low
battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle service procedures such as module reprogramming will
often set network DTCs. Replacing a module to resolve a network DTC is unlikely to resolve the concern. To
prevent repeat network DTC concerns, inspect all network wiring, especially connectors. Test the vehicle
battery, refer to Section 414-01 .

Communication Network DTC Chart

NOTE: This module utilizes a 5-character DTC followed by a 2-character failure-type code. The failure-type
code provides information about specific fault conditions such as opens, or shorts to ground. Continuous
memory DTCs have an additional 2-character DTC status code suffix to assist in determining DTC history.

Normal Operation

The PCM communicates with the scan tool through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).
Circuits VDB04 (WH/BU) ( HS-CAN +) and VDB05 (WH) ( HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to
the PCM. An Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) session cannot be established if the PCM communication
fails when attempting to identify the vehicle.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Wiring, terminals or connectors
