Vehicle applicability: This diagnostic supplement covers multiple Ford vehicles and engines. Follow the application named in the source below. Some references apply to vehicles other than Mustang.

DK18 SIMULATE THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL

Note: For Fiesta APP1 PID, insert and remove the jumper wire repeatedly to simulate a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal, while monitoring the PID on the scan tool.

• Ignition OFF.

• PCM connector connected.

• For Fiesta,

• IPC connector connected.

• Ignition ON, engine OFF.

• Access the PCM and monitor the APP1 (VOLT) and APP2 (VOLT) PIDs.

• Record the APP1 and APP2 PID values.

• Connect a 5 amp fused jumper wire between the following:

Point A APP Sensor Connector, Harness

Side

Point B APP Sensor Connector, Harness

Side

APP1

GND

APP2

APPVREF2

• Record the APP1 and APP2 PID values.

• For all others,

• Ignition ON, engine OFF.

• Access the PCM and monitor the APP1 (VOLT) and APP2 (VOLT) PIDs.

• Record the APP1 and APP2 PID values.

• Connect a 5 amp fused jumper wire between the following:

Point A APP Sensor Connector, Harness

Side

Point B APP Sensor Connector, Harness

Side

APP1

APPVREF1

APP2

APPVREF2

• Record the APP1 and APP2 PID values.

Do the PID values change?

Yes

No

INSTALL a new APP sensor. REFER to the Workshop Manual Section 310-02, Acceleration Control to INSTALL a new accelerator pedal.

Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

For lack/loss of power symptom, RETURN to Section 3 , Symptom Charts for further direction.

For Fiesta APP2 PID value does not change, GO to DK19 .

For all others, GO to DK20 .

DK19 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) OPERATION

• Disconnect all the IPC connectors.

• Visually inspect for:

◾ pushed out pins ◾ corrosion

• Connect all the IPC connectors and make sure they seat correctly.

• Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
