After On-Board Diagnostics

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

After the On-Board Diagnostic 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) CHARTS for information on Condition and Symptoms. This chart will be helpful in referring to the correct article(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 powertrain control module are diagnosed as well. Refer to the INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE article for diagnosing non-transaxle electronic components. The diagnostic routine hydraulic/mechanical charts will help in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle inputs.
