Change Condition to Cause Response by Input

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The purpose is to verify sensor receives and responds to changes.

  1. Select, view and record the appropriate sensor PID(s).
  2. Create condition or cause condition to change.
  3. If reading changes appropriately, then it should be operating OK.

    Examples:

    • View EOT PID while engine warms up.
    • It should change from a higher voltage (2.6V) for a cold engine, to a lower voltage as the engine warms up (0.6V).
    • Move accelerator pedal, observe APP PID change.
    • Press brake pedal, watch BOO PID change states.
