Pinpoint Test Z: Intermittent: Introduction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2021 Ford F-150, 2020 Lincoln Navigator, 2020 Lincoln Nautilus, 2020 Lincoln MKZ, and 2020 Lincoln Corsair. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose and isolate intermittent concerns for all electronic engine control (EEC) subsystems.

This chart is used to determine which test to run for the suspect circuit. Parameter identifiers (PIDs) corresponding to each circuit are listed. Some circuits do not have an associated PID or the PID may not be available and has to be measured with a digital multimeter (DMM). More specific information on the PID can be found in Section 6, Reference Values.
