11. Perform KOER On-Demand Self Test: Purpose:: Notes

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 of this test is to determine if the PCM has detected any fault conditions that would cause a performance problem while the engine is running. The KOER self-test will perform step tests on the injection control pressure system and the exhaust back pressure system.

Step tests are PCM controlled tests where the PCM commands a specific exhaust back pressure or injection control pressure and then measures the result. If a predetermined threshold is not reached, a DTC will be generated. This test can be performed at any engine temperature.
