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.
Power Circuits
Turn ignition off. Using a DVOM, check for battery voltage between ground and B+ circuit at PCM terminal No. 55 (104-pin PCM), terminal No. B40 (122-pin PCM), terminal No. B45 (150-pin PCM - Focus 2.3L), or terminal No. A44 or B44 (150-pin PCM - all others). See Fig 1-Fig 4 . Turn ignition switch to START or RUN position. Check for battery voltage between ground and specified VPWR circuit at PCM harness connector. See PCM VPWR CIRCUIT TERMINAL IDENTIFICATIONΒ table. If battery voltage is not present, check for an open in VPWR circuit between PCM and PCM power relay. For additional testing procedures, see TEST B: EEC-V POWER RELAY under SYSTEM TESTS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - CNG, FLEX-FUEL & GASOLINE article.
