After On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, PCM and non-transaxle sensors may affect transaxle operations. Service these concerns first.

After the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) procedures are completed, service all DTCs.

Begin with non-transaxle related DTCs, then service any transaxle related DTCs. Refer to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) TABLES in this service information for information on Condition and Symptoms. This Table will be helpful in referring to the correct manual(s) and to aid in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing electrical concerns of the transaxle. Make sure that the vehicle wiring harness and the PCM are diagnosed as well. Refer to the INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE MODELS article or INTRODUCTION -- FUSION HYBRID, MILAN HYBRID & MKZ HYBRID article for diagnosing non-transaxle electronic components. The diagnostic routine hydraulic/mechanical tables will help in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle inputs.
