Section 14 (Engine Controls - System & Engine Component Tests - EEC-V (Bi-Fuel & Natural Gas)): Introduction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Ford Pickup, 2000 Ford Econoline, and 2000 Ford Contour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: Before performing any tests or diagnostics on CNG or LPG components or systems, read all cautions and warnings in CNG/LPG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS article in GENERAL INFORMATION.

NOTE: System and component testing included in this article is for alternative fuel systems only. For gasoline fuel system and component testing, see SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - EEC-V (GASOLINE) article.

Before testing separate components or systems, perform appropriate procedures in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - CARS or BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - TRUCKS article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) if they malfunction, also perform procedures in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V (BI-FUEL) article.

NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate short or open circuits. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate shorted or open wiring harness. For identification of circuits and terminals referenced in test procedures, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
