Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Typical Diagnostic Reference Values: Notes
An attempt is made to provide as much information as possible. Some vehicles may not display all input and output signals.
Reference values may vary 20% depending on operating conditions, engine load, temperature, altitude, vehicle speed and other factors. RPM values are axle and tire dependent. Refer to PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION (PID) , for PID descriptions.
Values are taken at an altitude of approximately 182.9 m (600 ft) above sea level.
Refer to the ACRONYMS AND DEFINITIONS for technical terms applicable to Ford Motor Company products.
For detailed transmission diagnostics, refer to the appropriate, Automatic Transaxle/Transmission.
Footnotes are referenced throughout the Typical Diagnostic Reference Value Charts. A letter in parentheses next to a value indicates supplemental information is applicable.
- 1 volt equals 4.5 MPa (652 psi) and 4.45 volts equals 28 MPa (4061 psi)
- 4.9 volts equals -40°C (-40°F) and 0.5 volts equals 100°C (212°F)
- 4.3 volts equals 0°C (32°F) and 2.5 volts equals 50°C (122°F)
- 0 volts equals disengaged and battery voltage equals engaged
- CT equals 0.64 - 1.28 volts and WOT equals 2.59 - 3.89 volts
- CT equals 3.43 - 4.69 volts and WOT equals 0.73 - 1.28 volts
- CT equals 1.13 - 1.88 volts and WOT equals 3.03 - 4.55 volts
- 1.35 volts equals 103 kPa (14.9 psi) and 4.5 volts equals 300 kPa (43.5 psi)

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
