Section 220 (Engine Controls - System & Component Tests - 7.3L Diesel): Introduction
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 1996 Ford RV Cutaway, 1996 Ford Pickup, 1996 Ford F-Super Duty, 1996 Ford Econoline, and 1996 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a trouble code if they malfunction, perform QUICK TEST in the TESTS W/CODES - 7.3L DIESEL article. Service codes as necessary.
NOTE:
Testing individual components does not isolate short or open circuits. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate shorted or open wiring harness.
