Output Functions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 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.

Four High Side Driver Outputs (2 Right and 2 Left Bank)  - The high side driver output function is to distribute energy to the correct bank based on a camshaft position output (CMPO) signal, and provide regulated current to the injectors. The powertrain control module (PCM) commands the fuel quantity and the fuel injection control module (FICM) controls the duration of the injection event.

Low Side Driver Outputs  - The low side driver outputs control the sequencing (firing order) of the engine.

CAUTION: The PCM harness connectors must be properly seated and the connector latch properly attached to eliminate possible driveability concerns or a no-start condition. Installing PCM connectors on an angle may cause an improper connection, misdiagnosis, and damaged components. Install the connector until the lever pivots and seats itself. Apply light pressure to get the connector into position on the PCM and then fully seat the connector.
NOTE: Inspect the FICM harness for damage, chafing and correct routing within the engine compartment and around engine components. Inspect the harness connectors for corrosion, damage, proper mating, and correct pin tension.
CAUTION: Do not pierce engine electrical wires or damage to the harness can occur.
