Change Conditions To Cause Response By Input

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2003 Ford Excursion, and 2003 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The purpose is to verify the sensor receives and responds to changes.

  1. Select, view and record the appropriate sensor PID(s).
  2. Create condition or cause condition to change.
  3. If reading changes appropriately, then it should be operating okay.

    Examples:

    • EOT should change from a higher voltage (2.6V) for a cold engine, to a lower voltage as the engine warms up (0.6V).
    • Move ETC pedal, observe APP PID change.
    • Press brake pedal, watch BOO PID change states.
