1994 Ford F 150 2WD Pickup L6-300 4.9LSECTION X116 - Check Left Front HO2S Circuit For Short to Power
NOTE: Due to the Internal circuitry of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), an intermittent left/front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) signal short to power could produce a Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 542 or 524/543.
- Key "OFF".
- Install breakout box, if applicable.
- Breakout box installed, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) disconnected.
- Connect a test lamp between the left/front HO2S test pin and test pin 40 at the breakout box (refer to Pinpoint Test H for appropriate HO2S test pin). H - Test Schematic
- Key "ON", engine "OFF".
