Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2002 Ford RV Cutaway, 2002 Ford Pickup, 2002 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2002 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2002 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Perform this test when directed by QUICK TEST. This test is only intended to diagnose the following components and circuits:

Low range indicator illuminates when vehicle is shifted to 4x4 low range gear. On Manual Shift On The Fly (MSOF) 4x4 systems, 4x4 low switch provides ground path to complete 4x4L indicator circuit. On Electronic Shift On The Fly (ESOF) 4x4 systems, 4x4 module provides ground path to complete 4x4L indicator circuit. Status of 4x4 low range circuit is sent to PCM by instrument cluster through Standard Corporate Protocol (SCP) communications. There is no circuit from 4x4 low circuits to PCM.
