ADDITIONAL TESTS FOR EEC-IV SYSTEMS - CYLINDER BALANCE TEST<br />
10. If no problems are found during the<br />
KOER Self-Test, the computer sends a<br />
"PASS code" (code 11 or 111) to the<br />
Tool. Code 11 or 111 indicates that all<br />
the relays and actuators and their<br />
related circuits that were tested during<br />
the KOER Self-Test are OK, and no<br />
faults were found.<br />
11. After the Tool retrieves all the KOER Self-Test DTCs, turn the engine off,<br />
and disconnect the Tool from the vehicle's test connectors. The DTCs<br />
retrieved are now stored in the Tool's memory.<br />
All retrieved DTCs will remain in the Tool's memory. If the<br />
KOER Test procedure is performed again, DTC's from a prior<br />
test will automatically clear and will be replaced by the most<br />
current DTCs retrieved.<br />
12. All KOER codes that are retrieved by the Tool during the KOER<br />
Self-Test represent problems that are present now (at the time the<br />
test is performed). The related vehicle problems that caused the<br />
codes to be sent must be repaired using the procedures described<br />
in the vehicle's repair manual.<br />
The green, yellow and red LEDs are used (with the LCD<br />
display) as visual aids to make it easier to determine engine<br />
system conditions. See SERVICING DTCs - OBD I on page 97<br />
for information on interpreting LEDs and servicing DTCs.<br />
13. After all repairs have been completed, repeat the KOER Self-Test.<br />
14. If a "pass code" (code 11 or 111) is<br />
received, it indicates that the repairs<br />
were successful and all the related<br />
systems are working properly.<br />
15. If a "pass code" (code 111 or 111) is not<br />
received, the repair was unsuccessful.<br />
Consult the vehicle's service manual<br />
and recheck repair procedure.<br />
ADDITIONAL TESTS FOR EEC-IV SYSTEMS<br />
These tests are additional, supplemental tests, and are not<br />
needed to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Ford has<br />
included them to further assist the technician / do-it-yourselfer<br />
in the troubleshooting of vehicle problems.<br />
Cylinder Balance Test (Vehicles equipped with Sequential<br />
Electronic Fuel Injected (SEFI) systems only)<br />
The Cylinder Balance Test assists in finding a weak or noncontributing<br />
cylinder. The computer shuts off fuel (cuts off power to injectors) to each<br />
cylinder, in sequence, and monitors for RPM changes (drop). Based on<br />
this information, the computer determines if all the cylinders are<br />
contributing power equally (for proper engine operation), or if some<br />
cylinders are only contributing partially or not contributing at all.<br />
