View of Lower Crankcase
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EEC-V module manages the 2.0L Zetec engine. The module requires a large amount of information about the current operating conditions of the engine and, where appropriate, the automatic transaxle. The EEC-V module obtains this information by means of sensors.
The EEC-V module controls:
- the fully electronic ignition system (EI);
- the sequential electronic fuel injection system (SFI);
- the air conditioning system together with the cooling system.
The purpose of the lower crankcase is to reduce engine vibrations. This further reduces the level of noise inside the vehicle. There is a metal gasket between the lower crankcase and the cylinder block.
