Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart

Diagnostics in this manual assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices.
REFER to: Diagnostic Methods (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

NOTE: Network communication or missing network DTCs may result from intermittent concerns, such as damaged wiring or low battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle repair procedures may set these DTCs. To avoid repeat network concerns, follow all Workshop Manual (WSM) guidance for the code. Test the vehicle battery.

A1 COMPARE THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) PRESSURE SENSOR (ACP_PRESS) PID (PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION) WITH THE MANIFOLD GAUGE SET READINGS

NOTE: The following pinpoint test step is tested in ambient temperature of approximately 21.1°C (70°F). As ambient temperatures near 38°C (100.4°F), the pressure value difference increases above ± 15 psi (103 kPa) range

  • Allow the A/C system to stabilize to the outside ambient temperature.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, view PCM Parameter Identifications (PIDs).
  • With the manifold gauge set connected, compare the pressure readings of the manifold gauge set and the PCM ACP_PRESS PID .

Are the pressure values of the manifold gauge set and the ACP_PRESS PCM PID , dependent upon the ambient temperatures, within ± 103 kPa (15 psi)?

If the temperature door is temporarily obstructed or binding during a calibration cycle, the HVAC control module can interpret this as the actual end of travel for the door. When this condition occurs and the HVAC control module commands the actuator to its end of travel, the airflow may not be the expected temperature.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

When the engine is at operating temperature hot coolant primarily flows from the engine through the heater core and back to the engine. Correct coolant temperatures are critical for good heater performance. A restriction of coolant flow due to a transmission fluid heater coolant control valve (if equipped), or a cabin heater coolant pump (if equipped), may cause poor coolant flow to the heater core.

  • Temperature door binding or stuck
  • Temperature door actuator

Visual Inspection and Pre-checks

Yes GO to K4
No DIAGNOSE the engine does not reach operating temperature. Refer to the appropriate section in Group 303 for the procedure.

K4 CHECK FOR A PLUGGED OR RESTRICTED HEATER CORE
  • Using a suitable temperature measuring device, measure the temperature of the heater core outlet hose.

Is the heater core outlet hose temperature similar to the inlet hose temperature [within approximately 6-17°C (10-30°F)]?
Yes DIAGNOSE an inoperative temperature door actuator, GO to Pinpoint Test G or GO to Pinpoint Test H
No GO to K5

K5 CHECK FOR A PLUGGED OR RESTRICTED HEATER CORE RETURN LOOP
  • INSTALL a temporary bypass hose from the heater core outlet to the thermostat housing assembly (as applicable).
  • Using a suitable temperature measuring device, measure the heater core inlet and outlet hose temperatures.

Is the heater core outlet hose temperature similar to the inlet hose temperature [within approximately 6-17°C (10-30°F)]?
Yes There is a restriction in the coolant control valve and/or the hoses.
If equipped with a cabin heater coolant pump, DIAGNOSE for the cabin coolant pump causing a possible restriction of flow to the heater core. Using a suitable temperature measuring device, check the temperature of the coolant hose to the applicable component.
REPAIR or replace components as necessary.
No INSTALL a new heater core.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The air discharge sensors supply a varying voltage to the HVAC control module based on the temperature of the air being discharged from the vent. The HVAC control module adjusts the system based on the voltage from each sensor.

Each air discharge sensor is supplied voltage from the HVAC control module and all sensors share a common sensor ground. An open, a short to ground, a short to voltage on one or more of these circuits or a failed air discharge sensor causes the HVAC control module to set one or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

  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: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
