Change Input and Verify Output Response

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The purpose is to verify how the PCM and actuator circuit responds to sensor input.

  1. Access and monitor the appropriate sensor PID(s).
  2. Create the condition to cause the input condition to change.
  3. Monitor the change (response) in the actuator PID or the actuator signal circuit with a measuring device.

    Example:

    • Increase the accelerator pedal position under load, and observe the RPM DSD PID and circuit change.
