This document provides critical diagnostic knowledge required for successful repair outcomes. It identifies technical competencies expected by users of this manual.
Ford Diagnostic Assumptions
Ford diagnostics assume the vehicle concern described by the test title is currently present. Exceptions to this rule are noted in each test. Do not replace modules or other components as directed by a diagnostic if the concern is not present at the time of testing.
