Computer Controlled Shutdown

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PCM controls the PCM power relay when the ignition is turned to the ON or START position, by grounding the PCMRC circuit. After the ignition is turned to the OFF, ACC or LOCK position, the PCM stays powered up until the correct engine shutdown occurs.

The ISP-R circuit provides the ignition state input to the PCM. Based on the ISP-R signal the PCM determines when to power down the PCM power relay.

The PCM software monitors the parameters for the controlled systems to make sure that all values have met a threshold for shutdown.
