DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

The 5R55W/S is an electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission. Transmission has the following
features: a 4-element torque converter with Torque Converter Clutch (TCC), 3 compound planetary gear sets, 3
bands, 3 multi-plate clutches and 2 one-way clutches. The letter "S" within transmission code describes a
synchronous shift transmission. The letter "W" within transmission code describes a wide ratio transmission.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls transmission operation through 4 On/Off solenoids for shifting, one
Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) solenoid for Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) control and 3 Pressure Control
(PC) solenoids (PC-A, PC-B and PC-C) for line pressure control, band and clutch application pressure. PCM
has built-in self-diagnosis, fail-safe operations mode, and warning code display for the main input sensors and
solenoid valves.

Input signals from sensors are sent to PCM. PCM can determine when the time and conditions are right for a
shift or converter clutch application.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE. These DTCs pertain to engine performance and must

be repaired first, as engine performance and related component signals will
affect transmission operation and diagnosis.

Diagnostic Formats

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are retrieved using QUICK TEST. Three types of DTCs are stored: Key On
Engine Off (KOEO), Key On Engine Running (KOER) and continuous memory codes. See RETRIEVING
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (QUICK TEST) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. During QUICK
TEST, PCM performs 3 self-tests to retrieve DTCs. See RETRIEVING DTCS . DTCs may be cleared from
PCM memory after they have been recorded or repaired. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

Retrieving DTCs

DTCs are retrieved from EEC-V system through 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below
center of instrument panel. Self-diagnostic test procedures are for use with New Generation Star (NGS) tester. If
a generic scan tool is used, ensure scan tool is OBD-II certified. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's operating
procedures. Once DTCs are recorded, diagnostic tests are used to locate and repair problem. See
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS .

Key On, Engine Off (KOEO) Self-Test

KOEO self-test is a functional test of PCM performed with ignition switch turned to ON position, engine off.
This test checks if PCM input and output devices are functioning electronically without any faults. KOEO self-
test displays on-demand hard DTCs. These DTCs usually are electrical open and/or short circuits and must be
serviced first, before any other type of DTCs. A fault must be present at time of testing for KOEO self-test to
detect a fault.

Key On, Engine Running (KOER) Self-Test

NOTE: PCM will not perform KOER self-test if any KOEO DTCs are present and not
repaired.

KOER self-test is a functional test of PCM performed with ignition key on, engine running. A check of certain
input and output devices is made during operating conditions and normal operating temperature. The Brake
Pedal Position (BPP) switch, Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch and Transmission Control Switch (TCS)
tests are part of KOER self-test and must be performed during this operation (if applicable). See BPP
SWITCH, PSP SWITCH & TCS TEST PROCEDURES . A fault must be present at time of testing for
KOER on-demand self-test to detect a fault.

BPP Switch, PSP Switch & TCS Test Procedures

This test ensures EEC-V system is able to detect a change of state in BPP switch, PSP switch and TCS. During
KOER self-test, the brake pedal must be applied and then released, TCS must be cycled, and steering wheel
must be turned at least 1/4 of a revolution.

Continuous Memory Self-Test

Sunday, September 10, 2017 11:43:09 AM Page 4 © 2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.
2002 Ford Explorer
2002 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS' '5R55W/S Diagnosis

NOTE: Continuous memory self-test may also be known as memory test.

Continuous memory self-test is a functional test of PCM performed under any condition (engine running or
engine off) with ignition switch turned to ON position. Unlike KOEO and KOER self-tests which can only be
activated on demand, continuous memory is always active in monitoring the system. When a fault is detected,
DTC will be stored in memory. This makes it possible to diagnose intermittent faults. Memory codes should be
serviced last, after all other DTCs.

There are 2 types of continuous memory DTCs. Emission related DTCs will illuminate the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) on instrument cluster. Non-emission DTCs will never illuminate MIL. On emission-
related MIL DTCs, PCM will store DTC in continuous memory at first detection of problem. The MIL will not
be illuminated, but DTC is considered by PCM to be a pending DTC. If same problem is detected in next drive
cycle, MIL will illuminate. MIL will go out if fault is not present after 3 consecutive drive cycles, or PCM has
been reset. An emission-related pending DTC or non-emission DTC will be erased after 40-80 warm-up cycles
or PCM reset.

INPUT DEVICES

Air Conditioning Clutch Switch

On factory installed A/C system, PCM receives signal voltage from Air Conditioning Clutch (ACC) switch
indicating that the air conditioning compressor clutch is engaged. PCM uses the ACC switch signal to adjust
line pressure to compensate for additional engine load. If ACC switch fails with closed contacts, line pressure
will be slightly lower with air conditioning off. If ACC switch fails with open contacts, line pressure will be
slightly higher with air conditioning on.

Brake Pedal Position Switch

PCM receives a signal from the Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch when the brake switch is operated. Torque
converter clutch is disengaged when brakes are applied. Malfunctioning switch will affect torque converter
operation.

Digital Transmission Range Sensor

The Digital Transmission Range (DTR) sensor is located on outside of transmission at manual lever. See Fig.
1 . The DTR sensor opens or closes a set of 4 switches that are monitored by the PCM. The internal switch
signal corresponds with position of the gearshift lever. DTR sensor completes the neutral/start and back-up
lights circuits. Malfunction of the DTR sensor may cause harsh engagements and firm shift feel. Improper
shifting or shift selection, no back-up lights, and/or no engine cranking may also result.

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine coolant temperature signal is sent to PCM. Malfunctioning Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
will affect torque converter clutch operation.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor

Intake air temperature signal is sent to PCM. Malfunctioning Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor will affect

Sunday, September 10, 2017 11:43:09 AM Page 5 © 2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.

control pressure, causing either harsh or soft shifts.

Mass Airflow Sensor

A Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor malfunction will affect transmission performance. MAF signal is used for
control pressure, shift and TCC scheduling.

Output Shaft Speed Sensor

The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is a magnetic pickup located on outside of transmission case at output
shaft ring gear. See Fig. 1 . OSS sensor sends output shaft speed signal to PCM. OSS sensor is used for Torque
Converter Clutch (TCC) control, shift scheduling and to determine control pressure. Malfunctioning OSS sensor
may cause harsh engagements, firm shift feel or abnormal shift schedule. Unexpected downshifts may occur at
closed throttle. TCC may not engage.

Profile Ignition Pick-Up Signal

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor sends crankshaft position information to the Ignition Control Module
(ICM), which generates a Profile Ignition Pick-Up (PIP) (engine RPM) signal and sends it to PCM. The PIP
signal helps PCM determine transmission strategy, Wide Open Throttle (WOT) shift control, TCC control and
control pressure.

Throttle Position Sensor

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer mounted to the engine throttle body. PCM receives a signal
from the TP sensor relaying throttle plate position. TP sensor is used for shift scheduling, control pressure and
TCC control. TP sensor failure will cause PCM to operate in fail safe mode, and PCM will raise line pressure to
prevent transmission damage. This condition will result in harsh engagements, firm shift feel, abnormal shift
schedule, and TCC not engaging or cycling.

Transmission Control Indicator Light

Transmission Control Indicator Light (TCIL) is located in instrument panel and is labeled O/D OFF. It is
illuminated in conjunction with Transmission Control Switch (TCS). See TRANSMISSION CONTROL
SWITCH . TCIL will flash if PC solenoid is open, shorted to voltage or grounded, or if fault has been detected
in monitored sensor used for transmission operation.

Transmission Control Switch

Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch that allows driver to cancel operation of 5th
gear (Overdrive). TCS is located on gearshift lever handle. When driver presses TCS, a signal is sent to PCM.
PCM uses shift solenoids to disengage or disable 5th gear operation and activate coast clutch. PCM also
illuminates TCIL to notify driver that 5th gear is canceled. When TCS is pressed again, 5th gear operation is
enabled, coast clutch is released and TCIL is turned off. When ignition switch is cycled (vehicle shut off and
then started again), TCS is turned off and 5th gear will be enabled.

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor

Sunday, September 10, 2017 11:43:09 AM Page 6 © 2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.
2002 Ford Explorer
2002 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS' '5R55W/S Diagnosis

The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is located on the solenoid valve body. PCM monitors
voltage across the TFT sensor thermistor to determine transmission fluid temperature. Depending on
temperature, PCM regulates control pressure, shift scheduling and TCC operation. Malfunction of sensor will
cause incorrect line pressure and possible lack of TCC operation.

Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor

The Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is a magnetic pick-up that sends turbine shaft speed signal to PCM. TSS
sensor is located on transmission case. See Fig. 1 . Malfunction of sensor may cause increased engine RPM on
engagements, harsh shifts or delayed shifts with hard apply.

Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor

The Intermediate Shaft Speed (ISS) sensor is a magnetic pick-up that sends planetary sun gear speed
information to PCM. The ISS sensor is mounted externally on center of transmission case. See Fig. 1 . PCM
uses ISS sensor information to aid in determining pressure requirements.

OUTPUT DEVICES

Pressure Control (PC-A, PC-B & PC-C) Solenoids

1. PC solenoids are variable-force type solenoids. Variable-force type solenoid is an electrohydraulic

actuator combining a solenoid and regulating valve. Line pressure tap is used to verify output pressure
from PC-A or PC-B solenoid by turning either one off while verifying output from other solenoid.
2. Pressure control tap is used to verify output pressure from PC-C solenoid. There are 3 PC solenoids (PC-
A, PC-B or PC-C) located in solenoid valve body assembly. PC solenoids are used to control line
pressure, and band and clutch application pressure within transmission by using PCM to vary current to
appropriate PC solenoid.
3. When a pressure control solenoid (PC-A, PC-B or PC-C) pressure is always low, failure could be due to
PCM and/or vehicle wiring malfunction, and/or solenoid electrically or mechanically stuck open or
closed. Check pressure control solenoid operations. See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 .
4. When a pressure control solenoid (PC-A, PC-B or PC-C) pressure is always high, failure could be due to
PCM and/or vehicle wiring malfunction, and/or solenoid electrically or mechanically stuck open or
closed. Check pressure control solenoid operations. See Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 .

2002 Ford Explorer
2002 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS' '5R55W/S Diagnosis

Shift Solenoids (SSA, SSB, SSC & SSD)

Transmission uses 4 on/off shift solenoids which allow PCM to control shift scheduling. Shift solenoids are
normally open 3-way solenoids. Shift solenoids (SSA, SSB, SSC and SSD) provide gear selection by directing
control pressure to appropriate elements. See Fig. 4 .

Shift Solenoid Assembly Failure

1. When shift solenoid is always off, failure could be due to PCM and/or vehicle wiring malfunction, and/or
solenoid electrically or mechanically stuck off. Check shift solenoid operations. See Fig. 5 .
2. When shift solenoid is always on, failure could be due to the PCM and/or vehicle wiring malfunction,
and/or solenoid electrically or mechanically stuck on. Check shift solenoid operations. See Fig. 5 .

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) receives a signal from PCM. TCC solenoid controls application, modulation
and release of TCC. If solenoid fails in ON position, vehicle engine will run rough (shudder) and engine may
stall in Drive at low idle speeds. If solenoid fails in OFF position, TCC will not engage.

DESCRIPTION

Flash Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) is contained in an Integrated
Circuit (IC) inside of Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The EEPROM contains the vehicle strategy and any
calibration information specific to vehicle. The IC is reprogrammable, and at times it may become necessary to
reprogram or reflash the entire contents. This is usually due to an after production strategy change or the Flash
Vehicle Identification (VID) Block has been previously reprogrammed and has reached its limit. The VID block
can be tailored to accommodate various hardware changes made since vehicle production. This procedure can
only be performed using Ford's Service Bay Technical System (SBTS) or equivalent.

A replacement PCM will have a label stating PROGRAMMING REQUIRED. This indicates that it is necessary
to retrieve VID data from the original PCM before removing PCM from vehicle. This procedure can be
performed using New Generation Star (007-00500) (NGS tester) or equivalent. See FLASH VEHICLE
IDENTIFICATION BLOCK PROCEDURE . If original PCM is damaged, nonfunctional or incapable of
communicating, it will be necessary to manually reprogram VID block. This procedure can only be performed
by contacting the "AS BUILT" data center for programming information.

FLASH VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION BLOCK PROCEDURE

NOTE: If using a generic scan tool, follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions to
perform this procedure.

1. To perform this procedure, NGS tester, Ford Service Function (FSF) card and NGS Flash Cable (007-
00531) must be used. Plug flash cable into NGS tester. Plug other end of flash cable into Data Link
Connector (DLC). From the NGS tester main menu, select SERVICE BAY FUNCTIONS,
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE and then PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION.
2. NGS tester display should show 2 selections. The first selection is for old PCM information to be
retrieved and stored. The second selection is for restoring new PCM with information that has been
retrieved from the old PCM. Follow NGS tester display instructions or refer to instruction sheet included
with FSF card. If Flash Vehicle Identification (VID) Block has been reprogrammed previously, NGS
tester will display a message indicating the need to reflash entire Integrated Circuit (IC). This procedure
can only be performed using Ford's Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS).

TROUBLE SHOOTING

PERFORMANCE TESTS
ROAD TEST

1. Ensure engine and transmission are at normal operating temperature. Road test vehicle in "D" position
(overdrive on). Apply minimum throttle and observe speeds at which upshifts occur and Torque
Converter Clutch (TCC) applies. For vehicle shift speed specifications, see appropriate table under
SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS .
2. Stop vehicle. Press TCS switch. The O/D OFF light will illuminate. Repeat step 1 . Transmission will
make all upshifts except 4-5 and TCC should apply above 29 MPH.
3. Press accelerator pedal to floor (WOT). Transmission should downshift from 3rd to 2nd or 3rd to 1st gear
(depending on vehicle speed) and TCC should release.
4. With vehicle speed at about 30 MPH in "D" position, manually shift transmission into "1" position
(manual low) and release accelerator pedal. Transmission should shift into 3rd gear. When vehicle speed
drops below 20 MPH, transmission should downshift into 1st gear.
5. If transmission fails to upshift/downshift or TCC does not apply/release, see appropriate SYMPTOM
DIAGNOSIS under TROUBLE SHOOTING .

STALL SPEED TEST

NOTE: DO NOT depress accelerator to WOT for more than 5 seconds, or damage to
transmission may occur from overheating.

Stall Speed Test Precautions

1. Engine coolant and transmission fluid must be at normal operating temperatures. Linkages must be
adjusted properly. Hold accelerator down just long enough to get a stable tachometer reading.
2. DO NOT exceed maximum specified RPM for vehicle. Before shifting into each gearshift lever position,
run engine in Neutral at 1000 RPM for 15 seconds to cool transmission. If engine speed exceeds
specification, release accelerator immediately, as this is an indication of clutch or band slippage.

Stall Speed Test Procedure

NOTE: Performing stall speed test procedure for an extended period of time may set
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0712 or P1783. Always clear DTC after
performing stall speed test. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

Connect tachometer to engine. Apply parking and service brakes firmly. Place gearshift lever in each gear.
Press accelerator completely to floor and record tachometer RPM reading in each gear. DO NOT exceed 5
second limit. Engine speed should be within specifications. See STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table. If
engine speed is not within specifications, diagnose and repair. See STALL SPEED TEST RESULTS .

AIR PRESSURE TESTS

A "No Drive" condition can exist, even with correct transmission fluid pressure, due to inoperative clutches or
bands. Inoperative components can be located through a series of checks by substituting air pressure for fluid
pressure to determine location of malfunction. To check component, drain transmission fluid. Remove oil pan,
gasket and control valve body. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in appropriate AUTOMATIC article in
TRANSMISSION SERVICING. Install Transmission Test Plate (307-433-01) and Test Plate Gasket (307-433-
03).

NOTE: Cover vent in test plate with shop towel to prevent fluid spray. Do not plug or
apply air pressure to test plate vent.

Using compressed air at 40 psi (2.8 kg/cm2 ) maximum, apply air to appropriate points. See Fig. 8 . A dull thud
can be heard or movement felt when clutch or band is applied. If clutch seals or check balls are leaking, a
hissing sound may be heard. If air pressure applied to a clutch passage fails to operate clutch or operates
clutches simultaneously, disassemble and check fluid passages in center support and clutches to detect
obstructions.

TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER

CAUTION: Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to install new parts, the
installation of a new transmission fluid cooler must be installed and the
transmission fluid cooler tubes must be cleaned and backflushed.

NOTE: Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system along with
normal cleaning and inspection procedures, as outlined in disassembly and
reassembly, will keep contamination from reentering the transmission and
causing a repeat repair.

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate material, or band
material may have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are
a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and must be removed from the system before the transmission
is put back in use.

Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test

NOTE: The engine idle, transmission linkage/cable adjustment, fluid level and line
pressure must be within specification before carrying out this test. For
additional information on transmission linkage/cable adjustment, see SHIFT
CABLE for adjustments. For additional information on engine idle diagnosis,
see SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - EEC-V - GASOLINE & NGV . For additional
information on fluid level check, see CHECKING FLUID LEVEL . For additional
information on line pressure, see LINE PRESSURE TEST RESULTS .

1. Place the transmission range selector lever into PARK.

2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and place suitable safety stands under the vehicle.
3. Prior to carrying out the Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test check to see if the vehicle is equipped with
a in-line fluid filter. If the vehicle is equipped with an filter, remove and discard the in-line fluid filter
prior to carrying out the Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test and system flushing.
4. Using a 3/16 inch Allen key, hold the large drain plug with a wrench and remove the small (center) fluid
level indicating plug.
5. Install the Fluid Level and Fill Plug Adapter (307-437) into the pan.
6. Remove the cooler return line (upper line) from the fitting on the transmission case.
7. Connect one end of a clear hose to the cooler return line and route the other end of the hose to the fluid
level and fill plug adapter in the pan.
8. Remove the safety stands and lower the vehicle.
9. Start the engine and run it at idle.
10. With the engine running, raise the vehicle on a hoist and place suitable safety stands under the vehicle.
11. Once a steady flow of fluid (without air bubbles) is observed, remove the hose from the fluid level and fill
plug adapter and place the hose in a measuring container for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, place the hose
back onto the fluid level and fill plug adapter. Lower the vehicle and turn the engine off. Measure the
amount of fluid in the container. If adequate flow is observed, approximately 8 oz (237 ml) will be in the
measuring container. The test is now complete. Reconnect the cooler line and install the fluid fill plug.

NOTE: If the vehicle was not equipped with a fluid filter, install a fluid filter kit and
follow the instructions supplied in the kit. If the vehicle was equipped with
a fluid filter install a new filter.

12. Once an adequate flow has been established, install a new in-line transmission fluid filter kit or filter.
13. Once the fluid filter has been installed, check that fluid will flow out of the filter.
14. If the flow is not liberal, disconnect the hose from the cooler return line and connect the hose to the cooler
inlet (lower fitting) on the transmission case. Reconnect the cooler return line to the case (upper fitting).
15. Repeat Steps 8-10. If the flow is now approximately 8 oz (237 ml) in 15 seconds, the cooler lines and
auxiliary cooler must be cleaned. For additional information, see BACKFLUSHING AND CLEANING
TRANSMISSION FLUID . Carry out this entire test after carrying out the backflushing and cleaning
procedure. If the flow is still not adequate after carrying out the backflushing and cleaning procedure,
install new cooler lines and/or an auxiliary cooler. If the flow from the case is still not adequate after the
installation of new cooler lines and/or an auxiliary cooler (8 oz [237 ml] in 15 seconds) the pump and/or

torque converter may be at fault. Carry out the appropriate procedures for diagnosis and repair.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

NOTE: Perform preliminary inspection before starting diagnostic procedure. See

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION under TROUBLE SHOOTING.

NOTE: In addition to transmission DTCs, engine-related DTCs may also be present.

These DTCs must be repaired first, as engine performance will greatly affect
transmission operation. For information and testing procedures of engine-
related DTCs and components, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in
ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

1. Perform RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (QUICK TEST) . If any engine-related

DTCs are set, repair them first. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE
PERFORMANCE. Record and repair all KOEO and KOER DTCs. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE DEFINITIONS . Once DTCs are repaired, go to next step. If no KOEO and KOER DTCs are set,
go to step 4 .
2. Check for continuous memory DTCs. If any continuous memory DTCs were set, clear all DTCs. See
CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . Perform TRANSMISSION DRIVE CYCLE
TEST . If continuous memory DTCs are set during drive cycle, go to next step. If continuous memory
DTCs are not set during drive cycle, go to step 4 .
3. Perform diagnostic test corresponding to DTC set. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
DEFINITIONS . If problem is not corrected, go to next step. If problem is corrected, go to step 7 .
4. Diagnose problem by symptom. See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS (ELECTRONIC) under TROUBLE
SHOOTING. If electronic trouble symptoms exist, perform OUTPUT STATE CONTROL MODES ,
then go to next step. If no electronic trouble symptoms exist, go to step 6 .
5. Follow diagnostic tests corresponding to electronic trouble symptom. Perform static and drive tests. Use
manufacturer provided transmission tester overlay to perform static tests. Follow tester manufacturer's
instructions. If drive tests do not correct problem, go to next step. If drive tests correct problem, then the
PCM, vehicle wiring harness and/or external inputs (sensors, switches, etc.) could be cause of problem.
Diagnosis possible intermittent problem using appropriate scan tool and transmission tester. See TEST Z:
INTERMITTENT in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
6. Diagnose problem by mechanical symptom. See SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS (MECHANICAL) under
TROUBLE SHOOTING. Perform any recommended overhaul procedures. Perform TRANSMISSION
DRIVE CYCLE TEST .
7. Perform RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (QUICK TEST) and ensure no DTCs
and no mechanical problems exist. If any DTCs exist, return to step 1 . If no DTCs exist, clear memory
code. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .

SCAN TOOL UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE .

Description

Quick test checks the integrity and function of the Electronic System, and outputs the test results when
requested by a scan tool. Quick test also provides a quick end check of powertrain control system, and is usually
performed at the start of each diagnostic procedure with all accessories off. Quick test is also performed at the
end of diagnostic tests for verification of repair and to ensure no other faults were incurred while repairing a
previous fault. A system pass will be displayed when no DTCs are output and a scan tool communication error
does not exist. System pass means that hardware monitored by the PCM is functioning within normal operating
limits. Only a system pass, DTC or an incomplete OBD-II drive cycle (P1000) will be displayed.

The following procedures are functional tests of EEC-V system. These basic test steps must be followed in
sequence to avoid misdiagnosis:

Perform visual check. See VISUAL CHECK .

Connect appropriate scan tool to DLC. SeeVEHICLE PREPARATION & EQUIPMENT HOOKUP .
Use DVOM and transmission tester as instructed.
Perform KOEO self-test. See KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST . Record and repair
DTCs. Repeat KOEO self-test until no hard DTCs are present.
Perform KOER self-test. See KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST . Record and repair
DTCs. Repeat KOER self-test until no hard DTCs are present.
Clear DTCs. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . Test drive vehicle. Record and
repair memory codes. See CONTINUOUS MEMORY SELF-TEST . Continue to clear DTCs, test
drive vehicle and check for memory DTCs until no memory DTCs are present.

Visual Check

Perform preliminary inspection before proceeding. Complete all procedures in PRELIMINARY

INSPECTION under TROUBLE SHOOTING. Ensure vacuum hoses and EEC-V wiring harnesses are
properly routed and connected.

Vehicle Preparation & Equipment Hookup

Apply parking brake, and place gearshift lever in "P" position. Block drive wheels. Turn off all electrical
accessories. Connect appropriate test equipment to vehicle.

Generic Scan Tool

Ensure scan tool meets or exceeds OBD-II standard. Follow manufacturer's instructions to hook up equipment.
Record DTCs.

New Generation STAR Tester

Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect adapter cable lead to NGS tester. Connect service connectors of
adapter cable to vehicle DLC. Perform KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST .

Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor
Digital Transmission Range (TR) Sensor Testing
Resistance/Continuity Test
Sensor Tests
Switch Tests (DTR Sensor, Backup Lamp, and Optional Circuits)

Key On Engine Off (KOEO) Self-Test

These DTCs indicate faults are present at time of testing. A hard fault may cause CHECK ENGINE or MIL to
illuminate and remain illuminated until fault is repaired. If KOEO DTCs are retrieved during a KOEO SELF-
TEST, identify DTCs and perform appropriate diagnostic test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
DEFINITIONS .

SYSTEM PASS codes indicates no DTCs were recorded in that portion of test. If SYSTEM PASS is not
retrieved in KOEO SELF-TEST, DTCs retrieved during KOER SELF-TEST may not be valid. Ensure engine is
at normal operating temperature. If engine does not start (or stalls after starting), continue KOEO SELF-TEST.
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Ensure test equipment is properly attached. Program NGS tester
following manufacturer's instructions. Follow operating instructions from NGS tester menu.

DEFINITIONS .

Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Ensure test equipment
is properly attached. Program NGS tester following manufacturer's instructions. Follow operating instructions
from NGS tester menu. Perform BPP switch, PSP switch and TCS cycling when instructed.

CAUTION: Continuous memory DTCs should be recorded when retrieved. These

DTCs may be used to identify intermittent faults that exist after all KOEO
and KOER DTCs have been repaired. Some continuous memory DTCs may
not be valid after KOEO and KOER DTCs are serviced.

Continuous Memory Self-Test

These DTCs result from information stored by PCM during continuous memory self-test monitoring. Use these
DTCs for diagnosis only when KOEO SELF-TEST and KOER SELF-TEST result in SYSTEM PASS and all
steps in QUICK TEST are successfully completed. These DTCs indicate faults previously recorded. Fault may
or may not be currently present. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . After noting and/or
repairing concern, clear codes from memory. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .
Intermittent faults may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring-related concern.

Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Ensure test equipment is properly attached. Program NGS tester

vehicle at about 50 MPH in "D" position (overdrive on). After normal operating temperature has been reached,
maintain a constant speed of about 50 MPH and tap brake pedal lightly. Engine RPM should increase when
brake pedal is tapped (TCC disengages). Engine RPM should decrease in about 5 seconds (TCC engages). Slow
to a stop. If TCC does not engage during road test or is engaged continuously (causing engine to stall at stops),
see appropriate symptom in SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS under TROUBLE SHOOTING .

TRANSMISSION DRIVE CYCLE TEST

NOTE: The transmission drive cycle test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions have
to occur 4 times consecutively for continuous memory codes P0731, P0732,
P0733 and P0734 to be set, and 5 times consecutively for continuous memory
codes P0741 and P1740 to set.

1. After repairing any engine-performance related DTCs, erase remaining transmission DTCs. Warm engine
to normal operating temperature. Ensure transmission fluid level is correct.
2. With gearshift lever in "D" position, accelerate from stop to 50 MPH. This allows transmission to shift
into 5th gear. Hold speed for at least 15 seconds.
3. While maintaining speed with transmission in 5th gear, lightly depress brake pedal and release (to operate
brakelights). Hold speed for at least an additional 5 seconds. Bring vehicle to a stop for at least 20
seconds with gearshift lever in "D" position.
4. Repeat steps 1 -3 at least 5 times. Perform RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
(QUICK TEST) and record any continuous memory codes.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

NOTE: To diagnose all other input and output devices not included in the following
diagnostic tests, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE
PERFORMANCE.

NOTE: Diagnostic tests are diagnostic procedures used to test and service EEC-V
system. For engine-related DTCs, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in
ENGINE PERFORMANCE. RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (QUICK
TEST) allows technician to identify problems and retrieve service DTCs.
Diagnostic tests check transmission circuits, sensors and actuators.

NOTE: Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum
10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure.

Procedures in diagnostic tests are written for use with following Ford Motor Co. test equipment:

Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) Scan Tool (418-F224) or New Generation Star (NGS) tester (418-
F052) or equivalent.
Transmission Tester (007-00130)

HOW TO USE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Sunday, September 10, 2017 11:43:10 AM Page 51 © 2005 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.
2002 Ford Explorer
2002 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS' '5R55W/S Diagnosis

1. Ensure all non-EEC-V related faults found while performing TROUBLE SHOOTING have been
corrected. DO NOT perform any DIAGNOSTIC TESTS unless specifically instructed by a
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (QUICK TEST) procedure. Follow each test step
in order until fault is found. DO NOT replace any part unless directed here to do so. When more than one
code is retrieved, start with first DTC displayed.
2. Diagnostic tests ensure electrical circuits are okay before sensors or other components are replaced.
Always test circuits for continuity between sensor and PCM. Test all circuits for short to power, opens or
short to ground. Voltage Reference (VREF) and Voltage Power (VPWR) circuits should be tested with
KOEO or as specified in DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
3. If measuring voltage or resistance at PCM, always backprobe PCM harness connectors. DO NOT connect
any test light unless specified in testing procedure. All measurements are made by probing rear of
connector (wiring harness side). Isolate both ends of a circuit and turn ignition switch to OFF position
when checking for shorts or continuity, unless instructed otherwise.
4. Disconnect solenoids and switches from harness before measuring continuity and resistance or applying
voltage. After each repair, check all component connections and repeat RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES (QUICK TEST) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
5. An open circuit is defined as a resistance reading of greater than 5 ohms. This specification tolerance may
be too high for some items in EEC-V system. If resistance approaches 5 ohms, always clean suspect
connector and coat with protective dielectric silicone grease. A short is defined as a resistance reading of
less than 10 k/ohms to ground, unless stated otherwise in DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
6. If instructed to replace Powertrain Control Module (PCM) after performing a diagnostic test, new PCM
must be programmed. See PROGRAMMING .

Diagnostic Aids

Fuel-contaminated engine oil may set some DTCs and affect engine performance. If oil is suspect, remove PCV
valve from valve cover and repeat RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (QUICK TEST)
