Quick Test: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Quick Test is divided into three specialized tests:

  1. Key On Engine Off (KOEO) On-Demand Self-Test
  2. Key On Engine Running (KOER) On-Demand Self-Test
  3. Continuous Memory Self -Test

Quick Test checks the integrity and function of the Electronic EC System and outputs the test results when requested by a scan tool. Quick Test also provides a quick end check of the powertrain control system and is usually performed at the start of each diagnostic procedure with all accessories off. Quick Test is also performed at the end of most pinpoint tests for verification of repair and to make sure no other faults were incurred while repairing a previous fault. A system pass will be displayed when no DTCs are output and a scan tool communication error does not exist. System pass means that hardware monitored by the PCM is functioning within normal operating limits. Only a system pass, DTC or an incomplete OBDII drive cycle (P1000) will be displayed.
