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.

DN8 TEMPERATURE SENSOR CORRELATION

• Ignition OFF.

• IAT2 Sensor connector connected.

• MAP/CACT Sensor connector connected.

• MAP/IAT2 Sensor connector connected.

• TCBP/CACT Sensor connector connected.

• Cold soak the vehicle at ambient temperature for at least 6 hours.

• Ignition ON, engine OFF.

• Access the PCM and monitor the CAC_T (TEMP), IAT (TEMP) and IAT2 (TEMP) PIDs.

Are the IAT, CACT and IAT2 temperature readings within 16.67°C (30°F) of each other?

Yes

No

GO to DN9 .

For the IAT sensor, GO to Pinpoint Test DA .

For all others, CHECK the sensor in question for contamination or obstructions. REPAIR as necessary.

If no concerns are present, INSTALL a new sensor in question. REFER to the Workshop Manual Section 303-14, Electronic Engine Controls.

Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

DN9 TEMPERATURE SENSOR CORRELATION AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE

• Ignition ON, engine running.

• Allow the engine to idle at the normal operating temperature.

• Access the PCM and monitor the CAC_T (TEMP), IAT (TEMP) and IAT2 (TEMP) PIDs.

• Drive the vehicle at a steady speed of 88 km/h (55 mph) for a minimum of 6 minutes.

Does the IAT temperature exceed 65.5°C (150°F), or does the CACT temperature exceed 104.4°C (220°F), or does the IAT2 temperature exceed 115.6°C (240°F)?

Yes

No

CHECK the charge air cooler (CAC) for debris and obstructed air flow. REPAIR as necessary.

If no concerns are present, INSTALL a new sensor in question. REFER to the Workshop Manual Section 303-14, Electronic Engine Controls.

Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

GO to DN10 .

DN10 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION

• Disconnect all the PCM connectors.

• Visually inspect for:

◾ pushed out pins ◾ corrosion

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