Test Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Ford RV Cutaway, 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. AQ1 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P2291 
    • Check the engine oil level.
    • Record the freeze frame data.
    • Carry out the KOEO self-test.
    • Verify no ICP and IPR circuit concerns are present.
    • Are any DTCs present? 
    Yes No
    For DTC P2291, GO to  AQ2.
    For all others, DISREGARD the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC) at this time. DIAGNOSE the next DTC. GO toDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS AND DESCRIPTIONS .    		 GO to  AQ2.
  2. AQ2 CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL 
    NOTE: If the vehicle stalls after start, oil is not being supplied from the low-pressure oil system.
    • Verify the correct oil level, quality, and viscosity.
    • Check the base engine oil pressure. Refer to appropriate ENGINE article for the specifications.
    • Verify steps 5 and 10 on the Hard Start/No Start Diagnostic Guide have been carried out.
    • Clear the DTCs.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the ICP PID.
    • Crank the engine.
    • Is the ICP PID minimum voltage 0.85 volt within 5 seconds of crank? 
    Yes No
    The DTC is intermittent.
    GO to  AQ6.    		 GO to  AQ3.
  3. AQ3 CHECK THE ICP SENSOR 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • ICP Sensor connector disconnected.
    • Does the vehicle start? 
    Yes No
    INSTALL a new ICP sensor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. GO to  AQ4.
  4. AQ4 HIGH-PRESSURE LEAKAGE TEST 
    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to  AQ5.
  5. AQ5 CHECK THE IPR VALVE 
    • ICP Sensor connector connected.
    • Connect all the hoses.
    • Install a new IPR valve.
    • Does the vehicle start? 
    Yes No
    The system is OK.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 INSTALL a new high-pressure oil pump. REFER to appropriate FUEL CHARGING AND CONTROLS article.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. AQ6 CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT CIRCUIT CONCERNS 
    • Key ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the ICP PID.
    • Grasp the vehicle harness near the ICP sensor connector. Wiggle and shake the vehicle harness while working toward the PCM.
    • Does the ICP PID reading fluctuate? 
    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to  AQ7.
  7. AQ7 INSPECT THE IPR CIRCUIT 
    • Inspect the IPR circuit from the IPR valve through the 12-way connector to the PCM.
    • Are any concerns present? 
    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 UNABLE to duplicate the condition. CHECK for a loose connection, and damaged or corroded terminals. WIGGLE the harness attempting to recreate the concern. REPAIR as necessary. REFER to the SYMPTOM CHARTS article, Symptom Charts, if a driveability concern exists.
