Engine Controls - Sensor Operating Range Charts - (EEC-V): Introduction

NOTE: For sensor information on Van E350 with 7.3L diesel, see TESTS W/CODES - DIESEL article.

Sensor operating range information can help determine if a sensor is out of calibration. An out-of-calibration sensor may not set a trouble code, but it will cause driveability problems. To determine correct engine control system, see SYSTEM APPLICATION table.

SYSTEM APPLICATION

Application System
All Models EEC-V
NOTE: Unless specified otherwise, perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with minimum 10-megohm input impedance.
