Circuit Function

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.

The EP sensor is a variable capacitance sensor. A 5-volt reference signal from the powertrain control module (PCM) is used by the EP sensor to produce a linear analog voltage signal indicating the exhaust pressure. The PCM uses the EP sensor input to control the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) and the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems.
