Test 12: Cylinder Contribution Test: Purpose

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2003 Ford RV Cutaway, 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This test is performed on individual cylinders and injectors to determine if all are contributing equally to engine performance.

NOTE: Only California vehicles will set a Continuous Misfire DTC. Both 49-state and California vehicles will set a KOER Cylinder Contribution Self Test code for a low or non-contributing cylinder. If any CCT or misfire DTCs are set, See TEST NA: INJECTOR DRIVE CIRCUIT OPERATION under SYSTEM TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 7.3L DIESEL article to diagnose the fault.
