certify to the HD OBD requirements. Vehicles/engines that do not comply with HD OBD during the phase-in period
must comply with EMD+.
OBD-II system implementation and operation is described in the remainder of this document.
The 6.7L is a V8 engine designed to meet customer expectations of high horsepower and torque with exceptional
fuel economy and low NVH. It must do this while meeting the tough emissions standards set by the EPA and
CARB.
Some of the technologies employed to meet these diverse criteria include a Variable Geometry Turbocharger
(VGT), common rail fuel injection system, electronically controlled, cooled EGR, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) ,
Selective Catalytic Reduction catalyst (SCR), Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection system, and a diesel particulate
filter (DPF).
The system schematic on the next page shows the path of the air as it is compressed by the turbocharger, cooled
by the air-to-coolant intercooler, and mixed with the cooled EGR gases. The state of this compressed and heated
air is sensed by the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor just before it enters the cylinders and the two
temperature sensors that represent Charge Air Cooler Outlet temperature (CACT1) and EGR Cooler outlet
temperature (EGRCOT). The exhaust gas pressure is measured by the exhaust backpressure (EP) sensor before
it exits through the turbocharger. The exhaust after treatment system consists of a DOC, a SCR, a DPF and a
muffler.
An electronic, proportional valve controls EGR rates with an integral position sensor (EGRP). Flows are
determined by valve position and the amount that backpressure exceeds boost pressure. An EGR throttle
(EGRTP) is used for regeneration control as well as to optimize the boost pressure vs. backpressure levels.
Fuel injection pressure is measured by the high-pressure fuel rail sensor (FRP). Injection pressure is controlled by
the high pressure pump and two regulating valves, a Pressure Control Valve (PCV), and a Fuel Metering Unit
(MeUn), formerly known as Volume Control Valve (VCV).
Engine speed (N) and crankshaft position are determined by the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) which senses a
60 minus 2 tooth target wheel. Camshaft position is determined by the camshaft position sensor (CMP), which
senses the profile of a multiple lobed camshaft.
Atmospheric pressure is determined by the Barometric Pressure sensor (BARO) mounted internally in the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
During engine operation, the ECM calculates engine speed from the crankshaft position sensor. The ECM
controls engine operation by controlling the piezo injector opening and closing times as well as the pressure at
which the fuel is injected, thereby controlling fuel quantity and timing. Simultaneously, airflow is modulated by
controlling the turbocharger vane position.
Fuel quantity is controlled by injector “on time” (pulse width) and the fuel rail pressure. Desired engine speed is
determined from the position of the accelerator pedal.
The 3.2L I5, 3.0L V6, and 1.5L I4 engines have the same technologies and engine layout employed on the 6.7L V8
engine with some exceptions. See engine diagrams below.

The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) is monitored to ensure it is capable of converting hydrocarbons and carbon
monoxide. The monitor is only run during aftertreatment regeneration events. After entering regen, there is a short
delay to allow the DOC to achieve light-off temperature. Then the exotherm is monitored for a short period of time
and normalized versus an expected exotherm (a function of post-injection fuel quantity and ambient air temp). The
exotherm is defined as the DOC outlet temperature (EGT12) minus the DOC inlet temperature (EGT11). The
normalized exotherm is filtered for a short period of time, and then compared to a threshold. If the normalized
exotherm is below the threshold, a fault is indicated. No other preconditioning is required. This monitor is only used
on 6.7L F350-F750 chassis cab vehicles.
The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) is monitored to ensure it is capable of converting hydrocarbons and carbon
monoxide. While entry conditions are met, a small quantity of fuel is post-injected late in the combustion cycle (similar
injection timing as DPF regen). The actual exothermic efficiency is calculated from the temperature rise across the
DOC and normalized by the expected exothermic efficiency (based on quantity of fuel injected), which results in a
ratio having values between 0-1. If the normalized exotherm is below the threshold, a fault is indicated. No other
preconditioning is required.
The Intrusive DOC Monitor is applicable to all 6.7L pickup vehicles and all 3.2L, 3.0L, and 1.5L products.
The DOC is monitored to ensure it is capable of generating a sufficient exotherm to allow DPF regeneration events
by burning the soot which is stored in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This is accomplished with the same
diagnostic described above for the DOC Catalyst Efficiency Monitor.
The DOC in this system is not utilized to provide any changes in the feedgas constituency that would aid in the proper
SCR operation.
The SCR catalyst is monitored to ensure it is capable of NOx conversion. NOx concentrations upstream and
downstream of the SCR are measured with NOx sensors. While entry conditions are met, these concentrations are
used to calculate the cumulative efficiency of the SCR catalyst for a calibrated sample period (approx. 30 second
duration). The efficiency is then compared to a threshold.
If the efficiency is above the threshold, the test is considered a passing result and the monitor completes. If the
efficiency is below the threshold, then one of two results happen. During a particulate filter regeneration, all NH3 is
purged from the SCR catalyst, providing a good estimate to the model of ammonia storage. Over time, accumulated
errors reduce the accuracy of the ammonia storage model. If the SCR catalyst monitor efficiency is below the
threshold and the total DEF injection quantity since the conclusion of the previous particulate filter regeneration is
sufficiently small that the ammonia storage model has high confidence, then the monitor will immediately report a
failure. If the total DEF injection quantity is above the threshold where the ammonia storage model may be
inaccurate, then the monitor will intrusively adjust ammonia (NH3) storage in the SCR. The decision to
increase/decrease the NH3 storage is determined by an algorithm that uses the upstream/downstream NOx sensors
to assess whether the SCR is slipping NOx or ammonia:
If the SCR is slipping NOx, the storage is increased. The adjustment quantity is determined by the
difference between the calculated efficiency and the threshold.
o If the efficiency is close to the threshold, a small adjustment (approx. 0.5 gram of NH3) is made.
o If the efficiency is substantially lower than the threshold, a larger adjustment (1-2 grams of NH3)
is made.
If the SCR is slipping ammonia, the storage is decreased. The adjustment quantity is determined by the
time necessary for the NOx/NH3 slip algorithm to transition from NH3 back to NOx slip. If the SCR is
slipping NH3 for a long period of time, a larger adjustment can be made.
Typical time to make a storage adjustment is approximately 5 minutes. Once the storage adjustment has been
completed, the monitor will calculate NOx conversion across the SCR again and compare to the same failure
threshold. If the efficiency is above the threshold, the test is considered a passing result and the monitor completes.
If the efficiency is below the threshold, the test is considered failed, the fault is indicated, and the monitor is complete.
On the 3.2L Transit, the SCR conversion efficiency monitor uses a EWMA.
The 3.2L diesel uses a Dosing Control Module (DCM) to control the DEF delivery system for the SCR catalyst.
This module detects certain fault codes directly. If it detects a fault that requires illumination of the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) then it causes a P204F code to be reported by the ECU in addition to the specific pinpointing
code reported by the DCU.

The SCR system is monitored to ensure the proper closed loop control of the reductant injection. As part of the
reductant injection control, a correction factor is adapted to account for long term drift of the system (injector, etc).
This correction factor is monitored continuously. If the correction factor reaches a threshold in the positive or negative
direction for a sufficient period of time, a fault will be indicated.
A SCR Time to Closed Loop monitor is implemented to ensure that SCR feedback occurs when expected. Once
entry conditions are met, a timer is incremented. If the fraction of time in closed loop control is less than a threshold,
a fault is indicated.
Additionally, the system has a temperature controller that increased the tailpipe temperatures under certain situations
to improve the function of the SCR system. This controller is also monitored.

P249E – SCR Feedback at Maximum Limit

P249E: If the correction factor is clipped at its maximum value for 30 seconds then a fault is indicated.
P249C: The error is set as soon as the fraction of closed loop operation vs expected is less than the
threshold. The monitor needs to run for 300 seconds to call it complete.
The SCR system is monitored to ensure the level of DEF in the reductant tank is sufficient to achieve system
performance. No fault codes are reported related to this system described below – information will be displayed on
the vehicle cluster only.

The 6.7L, 3.2L, 3.0L, and 1.5L Diesel engines utilize a Hall Effect sensor (CKP) that processes the edges of a 60-2
tooth stamped target wheel mounted on the crankshaft. The software gets an edge every 3 degrees and these edges
are used for fuel injection timing, fuel quantity control, and the calculation of engine speed. A software algorithm
corrects for irregularities of the teeth of the target wheel to improve crankshaft signal resolution. A second Hall effect
sensor is used to processes the edges of the three-lobed camshaft (CMP) target. The CMP signal and the window
of 2 missing teeth on the crankshaft target wheel indicate proper camshaft to crankshaft position for correct cylinder
timing.
All engines use a misfire monitor that operates across much of the engine speed and torque range of the vehicle.
The misfire monitor evaluates crankshaft angular acceleration in terms of cylinder “segments” representing the arc
in which each cylinder fires. Each cylinder segment is, for example, 90° in length (720° / 8 cylinders = 90°) for the
6.7L, or 180° for the 1.5L I4. The monitor compares angular acceleration of the crankshaft from one cylinder event
to the next. For various powertrain configurations and transmissions statuses, there are threshold maps populated
of the minimum segment-to-segment response that indicates a misfire event. These maps are populated from real
misfire conditions throughout an engine map. Once a threshold is reached, it is flagged a misfire event and
counted. An interval is 4 complete segments of 1,000 crankshaft revolutions. If the summation of misfires reaches
5% of the total number of combustion events in any 4 complete segment interval, a fault is then set for misfire. In
the case of cold starting there is a special “no glow” function. This function evaluates the glow lamp status. In the
event that an end operator does not allow for sufficient time glow, the monitor threshold is expanded to account for
the reduced combustion stability that may result from failure to allow for sufficient glow time. Once the proper
thresholds are met after a no glow, the misfire monitor is reinstated to its normal operation.
Fuel injection pressure is measured by the high-pressure fuel rail sensor (FRP). Injection pressure is controlled by
the high pressure pump and two regulating valves, a Pressure Control Valve (PCV), and a Fuel Metering Unit
(MeUn), formerly known as Volume Control Valve (VCV). (Note: the 1.5L and 3.2L diesel use a VCV only; they do
not have a PCV.)

6.7L:
When fuel rail pressure is controlled by the Pressure Control Valve, the Pressure Control Valve signal needed to
maintain rail control is compared to an expected value. An adaptation factor for the Pressure Control Valve is
calculated from the difference between observed and expected control values. Inaccuracy in the Rail Pressure
Sensor Signal Slope is a potential cause of inaccuracy in the needed Pressure Control Valve signal along with
physical errors in the PCV itself. If the adaptation factor required for the Pressure Control Valve exceeds a
minimum or maximum control limit, then a code is set for rail pressure slope out of acceptable range.
3.2L:
The system attempts to correct for production variation in the VCV by learning an adapted flow through the
VCV.

The fuel temperature sensor on the 6.7L, 3.2L, and 3.0L applications is an analog sensor. On the 1.5L diesel, it is a
combined sensor with the low pressure fuel pressure sensor communicating on the SENT protocol.
Sensors OK None
The 6.7L diesel in the F650-F750 chassis cab uses a fuel pump that is directly controlled from the PCM. The 6.7L
diesel in the F250-F550 pickup and chassis cab and all 3.2L and 3.0L products use a fuel pump that is controlled
from a fuel pump controller module.
The pressure in the fuel rail is controlled by a closed-loop control strategy that is always active during vehicle
operation. Two controllers may be used to control the rail pressure: the Pressure Control Valve and the Volume
Control Valve. The Pressure Control Valve is used to control pressure at engine start and when fuel temperature is
low. The Volume Control Valve is used to control fuel pressure under most other conditions. A third operation mode
allows fuel rail pressure to be controlled by a combination of the Pressure Control Valve and Volume Control Valve;
this mode is typically used to transition from control by one device to the other and in regimes where low fuel volume
is required.
The fuel rail pressure is controlled either with the Pressure Control Valve, the Volume Control Valve, or both,
depending upon engine operation condition. The high and low Fuel Rail Pressure Monitors detect when there is an
excessive deviation from the desired fuel pressure when the controller has reached a control limit or when the
minimum or maximum allowable rail pressures are exceeded.
Note: since the 3.2L diesel has only a VCV, it will always be in Volume Control Valve control.

Fuel Balancing Control (1.5L, 6.7L) is an algorithm designed to reduce differences in injected fuel quantity from
cylinder to cylinder. The increase in crankshaft speed due to individual cylinder combustion events is measured.
The amount of fuel injected to each cylinder is then adjusted up or down to minimize the difference in increase in
crankshaft speed from cylinder to cylinder. The total amount of fuel injected among all cylinders remains constant.
The concept is shown in the graphic below.
FBC operates in closed-loop control in an engine speed range of 500-3000 rpm, and a commanded injection
quantity of 3.5 – 90 mg/stroke. The maximum allowed correction in fuel quantity for an individual cylinder is given
by the following table.
The 3.2L engine uses a similar correction algorithm that operates at idle only.
Sensors OK Injector circuit codes, CKP, CMP, BARO, sensor supply voltage
Fuel Mass Observer (FMO) is an algorithm used to detect deviations in performance of all injectors from nominal.
The oxygen percentage as measured by the tailpipe oxygen sensor is compared to a modeled oxygen percentage
based upon current fuel, boost, and EGR settings. Deviation between the observed and modeled oxygen
percentage is expressed in terms of the error in fueling required to explain the deviation. This calculated error in
fueling is then divided by the current requested fueling level to generate a ratio of percentage error in fueling. This
fueling ratio is then filtered over time. If the filtered error in fueling ratio exceeds minimum or maximum limits, then
a code is set.
Sensors OK
Zero Fuel Calibration (ZFC) is an algorithm used to compensate for deviations in individual injector performance
from nominal on the 1.5L and 6.7L diesel engines. In an overrun/decel fuel shut-off condition, fuel rail pressure is
set to 300 bar (6.7L) or 300 bar, 800 bar, and 1200 bar (1.5L) and small injections are made from a single injector.
The observed acceleration in crankshaft speed is detected and a regression line generated to predict the fueling
required to achieve the expected acceleration. If the calculated fueling required to generate the expected
acceleration in crankshaft speed falls outside the allowable control limits for the system, an addition routine is
called to very precisely learn the adjustment to injector energizing time required to achieve expected acceleration.
This information is then used to adjust all pilot injections on that injector to ensure correct fuel delivery. If the
absolute energizing time observed for the test injection to yield the expected acceleration exceeds minimum or
maximum limits, a code is set.
The 3.2L diesel uses a similar algorithm which operates at four injection pressures: 250 bar, 400 bar, 700 bar, and
1200 bar. It has two operating modes: a “fast” mode that operates quickly at only 400 bar to detect a “step
change” in injector performance, and a slower mode that is designed to optimize injection throughout vehicle life.
Separate faults with the same DTC exist for each mode.
Nominal Voltage Calibration (NVC) is a series of closed-loop controllers on the charge/discharge profile of
piezoelectric fuel injectors during an injection event. NVC is designed to compensate for changes due to aging of
the piezo stack and hydraulic control elements within individual injectors and of the injector charging circuitry to
maintain consistent operation of these components over the life of the injector. The injector charge/discharge
profile is shown in the figure below.

The sensor described below is used in all 2019 3.2L diesel Transit applications and in 2019 F650-F750 6.7L diesel
chassis cabs.
The NOx controller module is mounted to the vehicle frame under the body. It is used to control the combination
tailpipe NOx and O2 sensor mounted in diesel after-treatment exhaust system downstream of the SCR and DPF. It
communicates to the ECU via HSCAN to report NOx and O2 concentrations or OBDII errors.
The controller module consists of RAM, ROM, EEPROM, Ip1 circuit, Ip2 circuit, Rpvs circuit, heater driver,
microprocessor, and temperature sensor. The RAM temporarily stores information obtained from the sensing
element during operation. The ROM and EEPROM store sensor and controller module calibration coefficients
obtained during the manufacturing process. The Ip1 circuit consists of an ASIC (like that of a UEGO ASIC) that
adjusts pumping current in the sensing element’s Ip1 circuit for O2 detection. The Ip2 circuit adjusts the pumping
current in the sensing element’s Ip2 circuit for NOx detection. The Ip2 circuit consists of 2 bands: a wide range and
a narrow range. The Rpvs circuit is a measurement of the resistance of the Vs cell of the sensor element. This
measurement is used to estimate the temperature of the sensing element. The heater driver supplies a PWM voltage
to the heater portion of the sensing element to maintain the element’s target operational temperature. PID feedback
from Rpvs is used to control and maintain the element temperature. The microprocessor processes all of the inputs
from the sensing element and outputs to the CAN circuit. The temperature sensor in the controller module is used
for compensating the temperature dependency of circuit components and for OBD rationality checks.
The NOx controller module interfaces with the vehicle via a power source, signal ground, power ground, CAN-H and
CAN-L. The compensated O2 concentration compensated NOx concentration; Rpvs, pressure compensation
factors, sensor/module OBD (including monitor completion flags), module temperature, software ID, CALID, and
CVN are communicated via HSCAN to the vehicle PCM.
The NOx sensor is primarily used to sense NOx concentrations in diesel exhaust gas. The sensor is mounted in a
vehicle’s exhaust pipe, perpendicular to exhaust gas flow. The sensor is typically mounted, in an aftertreatment-
equipped diesel exhaust system, upstream of the SCR and DPF on a Chassis Certified Vehicle and upstream of the
SCR only on a Dynamometer Certified Vehicle. The sensor interfaces to a NOx controller module that controls the
sensor element’s sense circuit and heater.
The Ip2 (NOx concentration) measurement takes place in a 2nd measurement chamber. Exhaust gas passes from
the 1st measurement chamber through a 2nd diffusion barrier into the 2nd measurement chamber. The NOx present
in the 2nd measurement chamber is dissociated into N2 and O2. The excess O2 is pumped out of the 2nd
measurement chamber by the pumping current, Ip2. Ip2 is proportional to the NOx concentration in the measured
gas.
The NOx sensor interfaces the NOx controller module with the following:
Ip2 – pumping current for pumping out dissociated O2 from 2nd chamber
COM – virtual ground for Vs, Ip1, and Ip2 circuits
Vs – Nernst cell voltage, 425mV from COM. Also carries current for pumped reference.
TM – Touch memory which stores Ip1 and Ip2 gain/offset.

The sensor and module described below are used in 2019 6.7L F250-F550 pickups and chassis cabs only and
2019 3.0L.
The NOx controller module (SCU) is mounted to the vehicle frame under the body. It is used to control the
combination tailpipe NOx and O2 sensor mounted in diesel after-treatment exhaust system downstream of the SCR
and DPF. It communicates to the ECU via HSCAN to report NOx and O2 concentrations or OBDII errors.
The controller module (non-detachable from the sensor) consists of RAM, ROM, EEPROM, Ip1 circuit (oxygen
measurement), Ip2 circuit (NOx measurement), Rpvs circuit (sensor heater control), heater driver, and
microprocessor. The RAM temporarily stores information obtained from the sensing element during operation. The
ROM and EEPROM store sensor and controller module calibration coefficients obtained during the manufacturing
process. The Ip1 circuit consists of an ASIC (like that of a UEGO ASIC) that adjusts pumping current in the sensing
element’s Ip1 circuit for O2 detection. The Ip2 circuit adjusts the pumping current in the sensing element’s Ip2 circuit
for NOx detection. The Ip2 circuit consists of 2 bands: a wide range and a narrow range. The Rpvs circuit is a
measurement of the resistance of the Vs cell of the sensor element. This measurement is used to estimate the
temperature of the sensing element. The heater driver supplies a PWM voltage to the heater portion of the sensing
element to maintain the element’s target operational temperature. PID feedback from Rpvs is used to control and
maintain the element temperature. The microprocessor processes all of the inputs from the sensing element and
outputs to the CAN circuit. The temperature sensor in the controller module is used for compensating the
temperature dependency of circuit components and for OBD rationality checks.
The NOx controller module interfaces with the vehicle via a power source, signal ground, power ground, CAN-H and
CAN-L. The compensated O2 concentration compensated NOx concentration; Rpvs, pressure compensation
factors, sensor/module OBD (including monitor completion flags), and module temperature, are communicated via
HSCAN to the vehicle PCM.
The NOx sensor is primarily used to sense O2 and NOx concentrations in diesel exhaust gas. The sensor is mounted
in a vehicle’s tailpipe, perpendicular to exhaust gas flow. The sensor is typically mounted downstream of an SCR
and DPF in an aftertreatment-equipped diesel exhaust system. The sensor interfaces to a NOx controller module
that controls the sensor element’s sense circuit and heater.
The NOx Sensor operates similarly to a UEGO sensor for measuring Ip1 (O2 concentration). Exhaust gas enters
through a diffusion barrier into the 1st measurement chamber. The sensor infers an air fuel ratio relative to the
stoichiometric (chemically balanced) air fuel ratio by balancing the amount of oxygen pumped in or out of the 1st
measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner, the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in
or out to maintain a stoichiometric air fuel ratio in the 1st measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air fuel
ratio. By measuring the current required to pump the oxygen in or out, the O2 concentration can be estimated.
The Ip2 (NOx concentration) measurement takes place in a 2nd measurement chamber. Exhaust gas passes from
the 1st measurement chamber through a 2nd diffusion barrier into the 2nd measurement chamber. The NOx present
in the 2nd measurement chamber is dissociated into N2 and O2. The excess O2 is pumped out of the 2nd
measurement chamber by the pumping current, Ip2. Ip2 is proportional to the NOx concentration in the measured
gas.
The NOx sensor interfaces the NOx controller module with the following:
Ip1 – pumping current for maintaining the A/F ratio in the 1st chamber
Ip2 – pumping current for pumping out dissociated O2 from 2nd chamber
COM – virtual ground for Vs, Ip1, and Ip2 circuits
REF – Nernst cell voltage, also carries current for pumped reference.
H+ – Heater voltage (High-side driver) – Duty cycle ON/OFF to control sensor temperature.
H- – Heater ground side
(monitor operates when the vehicle is not undergoing particulate filter regeneration)
P2A00 A calculated oxygen concentration is derived from fuel, boost, and EGR. Observed oxygen
concentration is evaluated within two speed/load/air mass ranges. Code is set if observed oxygen
concentration falls outside the range ((calculated O2 concentration – negative offset, calculated O2
concentration + positive offset). Ranges and allowable O2 concentration deviations are given in the table
below.

The feedgas NOx sensor plausibility monitor utilizes an intrusive self-diagnostic performed by the NOx sensor
controller, that compares a test result against a reference value stored in the sensor module. This value is normalized
and reported as a percentage to the stored value to the ECU. The self-diagnostic is commanded to run a number
of times by the ECU during key off/engine off conditions. Once all the events are completed the ECU will average
the final monitor result. This can be averaged over multiple key cycles, as the previous values are stored in NVRAM.
The ECU will make a final determination of a fault based on the average of all the events.
The stored reference value used is captured and stored in each NOx sensor and NOx sensor module pair at the
sensor manufacturer end-of-line factory.
The intrusive self-diagnostic performed by the NOx sensor controller is performed every time the ECU requests it.
The self-diagnostic is an intrusive test during which the NOx sensor is controlled intrusively to a setpoint to measure
the NOx value. It accomplishes this by flooding the O2 channel. Each time a normalized self-diagnostic result is
measured.
Once the self-diagnostic has completed, the NOx sensor controller will determine if the self-diagnostic result is used
to normalize the self-diagnostic test result at a sensor. There is also an internal compensation factor that will
compensate for sensor aging and normalizes the self-diagnostic test result over the life of the sensor to match actual
NOx output.
The ECU will determine if the normalized self-diagnostic test result should be included in the monitor metric
calculation based on the absolute O2 concentration of the exhaust gas during the self-diagnostic test and the drift in
the O2 during the self-diagnostic test.
This monitor is used on the 6.7L and 3.2L engine variants only. The Feed Gas Low NOx Plausibility Monitor runs
once per drive cycle during an intrusive EGR shutoff, in which the calculated NOx value (using fuel quantity,
temperature and ambient pressure) is then compared to the threshold.

In order to protect against potential false failures due to NOx conversion of an extremely active new or “green”

The sensor and module described below is used on all 2019 3.2L diesel Transit applications and in 2017 6.7L diesel
F650-F750 chassis cabs.
The NOx controller module is mounted to the vehicle frame under the body. It is used to control the combination
tailpipe NOx and O2 sensor mounted in diesel after-treatment exhaust system downstream of the SCR and DPF. It
communicates to the ECU via HSCAN to report NOx and O2 concentrations or OBDII errors.
The controller module consists of RAM, ROM, EEPROM, Ip1 circuit, Ip2 circuit, Rpvs circuit, heater driver,
microprocessor, and temperature sensor. The RAM temporarily stores information obtained from the sensing
element during operation. The ROM and EEPROM store sensor and controller module calibration coefficients
obtained during the manufacturing process. The Ip1 circuit consists of an ASIC (like that of a UEGO ASIC) that
adjusts pumping current in the sensing element’s Ip1 circuit for O2 detection. The Ip2 circuit adjusts the pumping
current in the sensing element’s Ip2 circuit for NOx detection. The Ip2 circuit consists of 2 bands: a wide range and
a narrow range. The Rpvs circuit is a measurement of the resistance of the Vs cell of the sensor element. This
measurement is used to estimate the temperature of the sensing element. The heater driver supplies a PWM voltage
to the heater portion of the sensing element to maintain the element’s target operational temperature. PID feedback
from Rpvs is used to control and maintain the element temperature. The microprocessor processes all of the inputs
from the sensing element and outputs to the CAN circuit. The temperature sensor in the controller module is used
for compensating the temperature dependency of circuit components and for OBD rationality checks.
The NOx controller module interfaces with the vehicle via a power source, signal ground, power ground, CAN-H and
CAN-L. The compensated O2 concentration compensated NOx concentration; Rpvs, pressure compensation
factors, sensor/module OBD (including monitor completion flags), module temperature, software ID, CALID, and
CVN are communicated via HSCAN to the vehicle PCM.
The NOx sensor is primarily used to sense O2 and NOx concentrations in diesel exhaust gas. The sensor is mounted
in a vehicle’s tailpipe, perpendicular to exhaust gas flow. The sensor is typically mounted downstream of an SCR
and DPF in an aftertreatment-equipped diesel exhaust system. The sensor interfaces to a NOx controller module
that controls the sensor element’s sense circuit and heater.
The NOx Sensor operates similarly to a UEGO sensor for measuring Ip1 (O2 concentration). Exhaust gas enters
through a diffusion barrier into the 1st measurement chamber. The sensor infers an air fuel ratio relative to the
stoichiometric (chemically balanced) air fuel ratio by balancing the amount of oxygen pumped in or out of the 1st
measurement chamber. As the exhaust gasses get richer or leaner, the amount of oxygen that must be pumped in
or out to maintain a stoichiometric air fuel ratio in the 1st measurement chamber varies in proportion to the air fuel
ratio. By measuring the current required to pump the oxygen in or out, the O2 concentration can be estimated.
The Ip2 (NOx concentration) measurement takes place in a 2nd measurement chamber. Exhaust gas passes from
the 1st measurement chamber through a 2nd diffusion barrier into the 2nd measurement chamber. The NOx present
in the 2nd measurement chamber is dissociated into N2 and O2. The excess O2 is pumped out of the 2nd
measurement chamber by the pumping current, Ip2. Ip2 is proportional to the NOx concentration in the measured
gas.
The NOx sensor is equipped with a memory component which stores unique sensor characteristics used to
compensate for part-to-part variation of the element during the manufacturing process. The memory stores Ip1
and Ip2 gains/offsets for each individual sensor.
The NOx sensor interfaces the NOx controller module with the following:
Ip1 – pumping current for maintaining the A/F ratio in the 1st chamber
Ip2 – pumping current for pumping out dissociated O2 from 2nd chamber
COM – virtual ground for Vs, Ip1, and Ip2 circuits
Vs – Nernst cell voltage, 425mV from COM. Also carries current for pumped reference.
TM – Touch memory which stores Ip1 and Ip2 gain/offset.
TM GND – Ground for touch memory reading
H+ – Heater voltage (High-side driver) – Duty cycle ON/OFF to control sensor temperature.

The particulate matter sensor (PMS) on diesel products is used to detect high levels of particulate emissions
resulting from a leak in the particulate filter. The sensor consists of an exhaust mounted probe and a sensor
control module. On chassis certified vehicles the probe is mounted in the highest point of the kick-up pipe routed
above the rear axle. On dyno certified vehicles the probe is mounted after the SCR near the NOx sensor and
EGT14 sensor. The sensor module is mounted to the vehicle frame under the body near the probe. The sensor
probe and the control module are permanently connected and cannot be serviced independently.
The PMS probe consists of three internal parts: a heater, a temperature sensor and a set of particulate matter
measurement electrodes. The sensor operates by accumulating exhaust particles in the gap separating the
electrodes. As particles accumulate the resistance between the electrodes drops, and an electric current can flow
due to the voltage potential applied. The duration of accumulation to a certain current threshold determines the
leakage of the particulate filter. Because particles accumulate on the sensor, it must be regenerated occasionally
by activating the sensor heater. The temperature of the part is controlled with feedback from the temperature
sensor, and measurement of sensor temperature is used to correct sensor output for variation in resistivity of
particulate matter as a function of temperature.
The PMS module handles basic circuit checks for the sensor components. Standard open and short circuit
diagnostics are run on the temperature sensor and the heater by the PMS module and reported to the PCM via
CAN messages.
In addition to basic circuit checks the temperature sensor in the PMS is monitored for offset and plausibility compared
to other exhaust gas temperature sensors. The temperature offset check occurs at key-on after a long engine-off
soak to ensure all sensors have stabilized to ambient temperature. The PMS temperature is compared to the
average reading of three other exhaust temperature sensors. During PMS measurement, the sensor temperature
is compared to a model of the sensor temperature to check plausibility. The model estimates PMS temperature
based on exhaust gas temperature and exhaust pipe wall temperature. This monitor only runs while the PMS is not
actively heating and sufficient time has elapsed since the last heating event to ensure that the sensor temperature
has stabilized to the exhaust conditions.
The resistance of the PMS heater is monitored as a surrogate for the performance of the heater. When the PMS is
powered up, two short pulses are sent to the heater during which the current through the heater is measured. Using
the measured supply voltage, the resistance of the heater can be calculated. The resistance is compared to a
threshold based on the sensor temperature and reported over CAN.
Because the sensor electrode is normally open circuit and can exhibit a short circuit in case it is heavily loaded with
PM, it poses unique challenges for on-board diagnostics. Monitoring the electrode for open circuit involves taking
advantage of movement of sodium ions through the hot ceramic substrate of the sensor electrode. At sensor
regeneration temperature, movement of the ions causes a current which is measured to ensure the integrity of the
sensor electrodes. This form of open circuit check takes place at the end of sensor regeneration while the electrode
is still hot. The check for short circuit takes place after the sensor has cooled below 425 °C immediately following
regeneration when the sensor is sure to be free of any PM. During sensor operation, the positive electrode of the
sensor is monitored to ensure the electrode supply voltage is in range. If the voltage drops due to a hardware failure
in the sensor, a fault will be set. If a short circuit occurs in the electrode and sensor regeneration will be performed
to ensure the short is not due to accumulation of soot, then a fault set.
To operate correctly, the PMS must have unrestricted exposure to exhaust gas. A monitor for PM sensor sampling
checks the sensor once per drive for plugging with excessive soot and proper installation in the exhaust. The
monitor evaluates the change in voltage required to maintain a constant sensor heater temperature for changes in
exhaust gas velocity. In the event that the voltage, calculated from heater duty cycle, changes less than a
calibrated threshold for certain magnitude changes in exhaust gas flow, a fault for a PM sensor sampling error is
set. The sampling tube monitor runs during cold start before exhaust dewpoint is reached while the PMS is
operating at a low heating level for contamination protection.
To burn off accumulated particulates, the PMS must occasionally regenerate. This is accomplished by heating the
sensor element to 785 °C for a period of time. The success of sensor regeneration is monitored by evaluating if
the sensor is able to maintain the regeneration temperature for the time required to ensure all accumulated
material is removed. The monitoring only takes place if vehicle conditions are such that the sensor is capable of
regeneration. For example, the PMS may not be able to regenerate if the battery voltage is below normal and the
engine is at peak power. This is because at the reduced voltage, the PMS heater may not be capable of providing
the power required to reach the setpoint temperature.
The DPF is monitored to ensure no leaks have developed in the substrate. The monitor runs anytime the filter is
not being regenerated and the exhaust is sufficiently warm to allow operation of the PMS. In addition, the NOx,
exhaust gas temperature and gas velocity must be at normal operating levels.
The DPF efficiency monitor compares the response of the tailpipe mounted PMS to a model of the expected PMS
response to a threshold leak DPF. If the sensor response exceeds the model response, the DPF is interpreted as
leaking more than the threshold and an error flag is set. The PMS response is a time required to a threshold
current, 12 microamps. The modeled sensor response provides the estimated time the PM sensor should reach
the threshold current as a function of the vehicle operating condition. The leakage rate of the DPF is indicated with
a metric derived from how close to the 12 microamp threshold the observed sensor current got at the point in time
the sensor model indicates the current threshold should have been reached for a sensor measuring an emission
threshold DPF.

overall DPF leakage assessment is provided only after two or more results of the preceeding calculations has
completed and been averaged. An assessment of DPF leak is provided after the required number of sensor
measurements has been taken. The measurements may span one or more drive cycles.
The EGR system is a closed loop control system that controls percent of EGR in the cylinder using the EGR valve
and Throttle. The percent of EGR is calculated using two different methods and the difference between these two
calculations is used to determine if the system is operating corrected. First, the expected amount of EGR in the
cylinder is calculated using a model that is based on the commanded EGR and Throttle position. Second, the EGR
in the cylinder is measured by subtracting the mass air sensor (MAF) reading from a speed-density model of the air
charge into the cylinder. The speed-density model accounts for both fresh air and EGR and is based on the
volumetric efficiency of the engine. High or excessive EGR flow is detected when the measured amount of EGR is
greater than the expected amount of EGR. On the 6.7L engine, low or insufficient EGR flow is detected when the
measured amount of EGR is less than the expected amount of EGR. On the 3.2L engine, low or insufficient EGR
flow is detected when excessive use of the intake throttle is required to meet air path setpoints. On all engines, a
slow EGR system is detected using the excessive EGR flow system monitor.
The monitor compares the two calculations, when a set of entry conditions are met, and determines if the system is
operating correctly. The entry conditions are selected to ensure robust fault/non-fault detection. A summary of the
entry conditions is shown in the tables below. The fault must be detected for a minimum amount of time before being
reported. A timer counts up when the entry conditions are met and the fault is present. The timer counts down
when the entry conditions are met, the fault is not present, and the current count is greater than 0. When this timer
exceeds the time required detect a malfunction, the malfunction is reported.

The functionality of the EGR cooler system, including the bypass valve and temperature sensor, is monitored by
means of comparing measured EGR gas temperature downstream of the EGR cooler assembly with measured
coolant temperature in the main coolant loop when certain engine operating conditions exist. The operating
conditions in which this detection can occur are the monitor entry conditions. Following changes in engine operating
conditions, there is a delay before the changes are reflected in the EGR system temperatures. Because of this
delay the entry conditions include a number of timers which must complete before the monitor is released. When
a condition feeding a timer is no longer met, the timer resets. EGR undercooling is detected using this EGR cooler
monitor.

The undercooling monitor can detect when EGR is not being cooled sufficiently, for example, when the EGR cooler
bypass is stuck in the bypass position. The entry conditions for EGR undercooling monitoring must be met for
monitoring to take place. Once the entry conditions are met and while they continue to be met, the measured EGR
temperature downstream of the EGR cooler assembly is compared to a threshold which is determined based on
measured coolant temperature. A typical value for this threshold is 70 deg C above engine coolant temperature.
If the measured EGR temperature downstream of the EGR cooler assembly is greater than the threshold, for a
predetermined amount of time, a fault is detected.
Monitoring is done during somewhat steady state operation at medium to high speed-load conditions with sufficient
EGR flow. Entry are selected so the monitor is released to run when the conditions are correct. The entry
conditions required to release the monitor are listed EGR Cooler (Intrusive) Entry Conditions table below. The
bypass door must be in the cooling position for a minimum calibrated time for the monitor to be released. The rest
of the entry conditions must be met for a different minimum calibrated time before the monitor is released.
To protect the hardware, the monitor is not allowed to re-release immediately if the release is lost because one of
more of the entry condition are no longer met.
The 3.2L uses a different overcooling monitor. The entry conditions for EGR overcooling monitoring must be met
for monitoring to take place. Once the entry conditions are met and while they continue to be met, the measured
EGR temperature downstream of the EGR cooler assembly is compared to a threshold which is determined based
on measured coolant temperature. A typical value for this threshold is 16 deg C below engine coolant temperature.
If the measured EGR temperature downstream of the EGR cooler assembly is less than the threshold, for a
predetermined amount of time, a fault is detected.

The control limit monitor functions continuously during normal (non-regen) closed-loop operation. The control limits
monitor compares the desired percent of EGR with the measured percent of EGR. If the error between these is
greater than the threshold for the required duration of time, a fault is set. Specifically, a timer counts up when the
entry conditions are met and the fault is present. The timer counts down when the entry conditions are met, the fault
is not present, and the current count is greater than 0. When this timer exceeds the time required detect a
malfunction, the malfunction is reported.

valve and throttle valve. In this operating mode, the desired mass of fresh air in the cylinder is compared to the
actual mass of air entering the cylinder. If the error is greater than the threshold for the required duration, a fault is
set. The monitor is released when the system is in closed loop control. Specifically, a timer counts up when the
entry conditions are met and the fault is present. The timer counts down when the entry conditions are met, the fault
is not present, and the current count is greater than 0. When this timer exceeds the time required detect a
malfunction, the malfunction is reported.
Typical Mass Air Flow Closed-loop Control Limits Check Entry Conditions:
No Air System Faults
EGR System in closed loop air mass control
The 6.7L engine is equipped with an oil pressure actuated, variable vane turbocharger. The variable geometry turbo
(VGT) does not have a position sensor, so the position is inferred using a duty cycle to position transfer function. To
verify actual position based on the nominal transfer function, an intrusive monitor sweep is performed. When entry
conditions are met, the intrusive monitor for VGT closes the EGR valve, opens the throttle and then commands the
output PWM to open and closed position for a calibratable duration. Typical values are 85%, then 25%. The
minimum and maximum MAP values are saved and compared to a threshold. If the desired separation in MAP
pressure isn’t achieved, a fault is detected. If the desired separation in MAP is achieved, the test is considered a
pass.
In the example above, at 1871 seconds, the EGR valve is commanded closed, after 3 seconds with EGR off and
turbocharger at 85% position, the turbocharger is opened up to. 25% position. The 25% position is held for 4
seconds. If desired separation of 2kpa at sea level is achieved the test is considered a pass. If desired separation
isn’t achieved the test is completed and failed.
Note1: This monitor also serves to monitor for a slowly responding boost pressure system due to the time component
of the threshold.
Note2: On 3.2L engine, there is variable geometry turbo control and position.
The 6.7L engine utilizes a closed loop boost pressure controller to maintain desired boost pressure set point under
all temperature ranges and engine operating modes. The overboost monitor compares the desired vs. actual
measured boost pressure while in a specific range of closed loop boost pressure operation. If the boost pressure
governor deviation is greater than the calibrated threshold for 7 seconds, a fault is detected and the P-code is set.
The closed loop monitoring window is defined as any inner torque above 50 nm, and any engine speed above 1000
rpm. Torque window and threshold slightly different for dyno cert due to different turbocharger configuration,
calibration, and air path response.
This diagnostic will detect a turbo slowly responding or stuck in the primarily closed condition.
Overboost Monitor:
DTCs P0234 - Turbocharger/Supercharger "A" Overboost Condition
Monitor Execution Continuous
Monitor Sequence None
Sensors OK ECT, MAP, MAF,
Typical Monitoring Duration 7 seconds
For the pickup applications, use of the engine brake function can result in conditions where a momentary slow
response of the turbocharger vanes to movement can result in a transient high pressure condition that can be
erroneously detected as overboost by the pressure based monitor. Instead, a monitor of exhaust pressure above a
maximum threshold is used as the threshold overboost monitor.
The underboost monitor works in a similar fashion to the overboost monitor by comparing the desired vs. actual
measured boost pressure while in a specific range of closed loop boost pressure operation. If the boost pressure
governor deviation is greater than the calibrated threshold for 7 seconds, a fault is detected and the P-code is set.
The closed loop monitoring window is defined as any inner torque above 50 nm, and any engine speed above 1500
rpm. The threshold limit is wider for the underbooost monitor due to transient boost system response, compensation
for boost pressure lag, and short term (1-2 second) momentary torque truncation when air path torque is kept high,
but fueling is limited for component protection.
This diagnostic will detect a gross air path leak such as the turbo discharge or CAC discharge tube being blown off,
major pre-turbo exhaust leaks, or a turbo slowly responding or stuck in the open VGT position.

Charge Air Cooler Monitoring
The 6.7L engine is equipped with an air to water charge air intercooler. The CAC is on a secondary coolant loop,
independent from the main engine coolant system. The temperature at the outlet of the cooler is measured as
TCACDs, however the temperature going into the cooler is modeled. The 3.2L engine uses an air to air charge air
intercooler and no secondary coolant loop, but is otherwise similar.
To detect a CAC under cooling situation, the efficiency of the cooler is modeled at various speeds and airflows via a
3d speed/airflow multiplier table, providing a modeled cooler out temperature. Cooler efficiency * compressor out
temperature = modeled cooler out temp. This modeled cooler out temp is then compared to the measured coolant
out temp, if the difference is less than a threshold curve or greater than a threshold, a fault is detected and a p-code
is set.

PARTICULATE MATTER (PM) FILTER MONITORING
The DPF is monitored to ensure that the filter has not been removed. The DPF Missing Substrate monitor compares
the measured pressure upstream of the DPF to a threshold (function of volumetric exhaust flow). A debounce
counter will increment when the pressure is below the threshold and decrement if the pressure is above the threshold
(clipped to a minimum of 0). When the debounce counter exceeds a threshold, a fault is indicated. This monitor is
only utilized for applications that utilize a pressure sensor. (All applications with a PM sensor will utilize the P2002

DPF Incomplete Regeneration Monitor
The DPF Incomplete Regeneration monitor is used to detect an event where the DPF is not fully regenerated. If a
regeneration event is aborted due to duration and the restriction of the DPF is still above a threshold, a fault is
indicated. Upon the first occurrence of an incomplete regen, the system is put into a “degraded” regen
mode. Another regen will be forced in approximately 150 miles unless a normal regen is triggered by the soot load
first.

DPF Feedback Control Monitors
The system is monitored to ensure that closed loop control of the regeneration event is initiated within a reasonable
period of time. The monitor runs during a regeneration event and compares the time in closed loop control to the
total time in regen. If the time in closed loop control is less than a threshold (a function of total time in regen), then a
fault is indicated.
If the closed loop controller is saturated at its limits and the temperature is not within the desired limit, a timer will
increment. If control is regained, the timer will decrement. At the end of the regeneration event, if this timer exceeds
a threshold (a function of total time in regen), a fault is indicated
Note: Ford Motor Company 2011+ 6.7L diesel programs are using in-cylinder post injection to achieve regeneration,
not external exhaust injection. The Post injection is monitored during this feedback monitor; there is no additional
monitor for "active / intrusive injection". 3.2L diesel programs use a downstream fuel injector which is monitored
separately.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM MONITORING
Thermostat Monitor
The Thermostat Monitor checks that the thermostat is operating properly by modeling Engine Coolant Temperature
(ECT) based on engine fueling, engine speed, vehicle speed, and the ambient temperature. There are increment
and decrement portions to the model; the increment is based on engine speed and fuel quantity, while the decrement
is derived from calculated radiator efficiency based on coolant delta temp to ambient and vehicle speed. The model
is delayed by 60 seconds after engine start to negate potential errors due to block heater use. It is also suspended
while in catalyst warm-up mode due to errors in fuel quantity heat being contributed to the coolant.
Once that estimation reaches the thermostat start-to-open temperature, if the actual measured ECT has not reached
a minimum warm-up temperature and the driver has not spent too much time in part fuel cut off (over 30%), too low
load (over 70%), too high vehicle speed (over 70%), or too low vehicle speed (over 70%) - then the thermostat is
determined to be stuck open.
When ECT drops below 70 degrees C, the thermostat model and monitor are re-initialized.

Primary Coolant Temp Rise Monitoring
To ensure the primary ECT sensor has not stuck below normal operating range, a simple rise check to verify a
minimum rise in coolant temperature over a calibratable time has been implemented. If coolant temperature at start
is greater than -35 deg C and less than 54 deg C, the monitor is enabled. At -35 deg C, the coolant is expected to
rise up to -7 deg C in 291 seconds or less. If -7 deg C coolant temp. is not achieved in the required 291 second
timeframe, a fault is detected. At a -7 deg C start temp, the coolant is expected to rise to 40 deg C in 5450 seconds-
assuming worst case with EGR off, vehicle idling in neutral with heater on. Again, if the minimum temperature is not
achieved in the required time, a fault is detected. This diagnostic is used in conjunction with the oil vs. coolant
plausibility check, thermostat model, and SRC checks to verify proper ECT operation and engine warm-up.

COLD START EMISSION REDUCTION STRATEGY MONITORING
For all 2010 and subsequent model year vehicles that incorporate a specific engine control strategy to reduce cold
start emissions, the OBD ll system must monitor the components to ensure proper functioning. The monitor works
by validating the operation of the components required to achieve the cold start emission reduction strategy, namely
intake throttle and fuel balancing control. The 3.2L diesel does not use a cold start emission reduction strategy.
Duplicate fault storage of throttle valve jammed detection exists, which can only set/clear in EOM3.

Cold FBC (Only 6.7L Applications)
Fuel Balancing Control is an algorithm designed to reduce differences in injected fuel quantity from cylinder to
cylinder. The increase in crankshaft speed due to individual cylinder combustion events is measured. The amount
of fuel injected to each cylinder is then adjusted up or down to minimize the difference in increase in crankshaft speed
from cylinder to cylinder. The total amount of fuel injected among all cylinders remains constant. The Cold FBC
runs exactly the same as the normal FBC monitor, only difference is that it will run during EOM3 instead of EOM0.
The concept is shown in the graphic below.
FBC operates in closed-loop control in an engine speed range of 500-3000 RPM, and a commanded injection
quantity of 3.5 – 90 mg/stroke. The maximum allowed correction in fuel quantity for an individual cylinder is given
by the following table.
3.5 7.5 15
Maximum allowable FBC correction 4 7 14

CRANKCASE VENTILATION MONITOR
The 6.7L (F650-F750 chassis cabs only) and 3.2L diesel engines have a crankcase ventilation separator mounted
on the driver side rocker cover, with a tube connecting the separator to the fresh air inlet of the turbocharger. The
tube on the separator side has a tamper proof collar installed and is plastic welded to the separator. On the fresh
air inlet side, a hall effect sensor is present, to detect connection to the inlet casting assembly. The tube cannot
be disconnected on the separator side, and if it is disconnected from the inlet casting, a P04DB code is set, as
sensor output drops below a calibrated threshold. There are also circuit range checks, P04E2 and P04E3 to detect
shorts to ground, or short to battery/disconnected sensor, respectively. Note: F250-F550 pickups and chassis cabs
have tamper proof collars on the connections for both sides and, as a result, do not need these monitors.

ENGINE SENSORS
An air temperature rationality test is performed once every drive cycle, after a long soak of 6 hours or greater. At
key on, a temperature sample is taken of each of the following sensors: Ambient Air (AAT), Intake Air (IAT), Charge
Air Cooler outlet (CACT1), EGR Cooler outlet (EGT COT), and Secondary Coolant Temperature (ECT2). Once a
cold start has been confirmed, the temperature samples are compared against each other, and the temperature
differences compared against a threshold. One sensor must fail plausibility with all four other sensors to set a fault
for the sensor in question. If one or more sensors fail plausibility with three or fewer sensors, a general temperature
plausibility fault is set. If a block heater has been detected, or if any sensor has been flagged for a pending signal
range malfunction, the plausibility check is not performed. Block heater detection is only attempted when
temperature sensors show larger than expected temperature difference at start. In this case, intake air temperature
is monitored for a temperature decrease of at least 5 degrees C following 60 seconds of driving at 20 kph or greater
speed. If this temperature decrease is observed, use of a block heater is inferred.

Turbine Upstream Pressure Sensor Plausibility Checks
The turbine upstream pressure sensor has two plausibility checks to determine if the sensor is operating correctly.
The first check looks for an offset in the turbine upstream pressure sensor when the engine is not running. This
check compares the absolute value of the difference between the measured turbine upstream pressure and the
measured environmental pressure under specific entry conditions. If the pressure difference exceeds the threshold,
for a predetermined amount of time while the entry conditions are met, a fault is set.
The second check compares the measured pressure upstream of the turbine to a model of the pressure upstream
of the turbine under specific entry conditions. If the difference between the measured and modeled pressure is
greater than a threshold, for a predetermined amount of time while the entry conditions are met, a fault is set.

Dynamic plausibility of the EGR downstream temperature sensor for the 6.7L diesel is checked using the EGR cooler

once per drive cycle after a long soak (6hrs or more). The values of the coolant and oil temperature sensor readings
are recorded at start up. Once it has been determined that the enable conditions have been achieved, upper and
lower thresholds are determined based on the engine-off time. The difference of the initial oil and coolant
temperatures are compared to this threshold. If the lower threshold is not achieved, a fault is reported. If the lower
threshold is met, but the upper threshold is not achieved and a block heater is not in use, a fault is reported. If a
block heater is detected and the difference is greater than 40C, a fault is reported.

Notes:
- S0 is scheduled starting at 78 deg (calibrate-able) before TDC of cylinder 1, S1 is 45 degrees after S0
- S0 and S1 will continue to be scheduled every 90 degrees from this point forward.
- During the call of the S0 interrupt, the S1 is scheduled on a segment selection calibration , so there will be an S0 or S1 every 45 deg interval.
- At each interrupt the FBC/ZFC algorithm will take a measurement of the Crank Signal buffer in the EDC module .
- Each interrupt is spaced by 45 degrees and each buffer entry for the crank signal is one tooth in distance (or 6 crank angle degrees).
- The FBC wheel learn / ZFC algorithm takes a look at the complete revolution of the crank signal by sampling the entire crank signal
- There are 16 total (0 – 15) segments between S0 and S1 interrupts, but INCA can only display the even numbered segments as they are between the S 0 points
- Teeth measured in each segment are counted backwards from the current segment to the previous segment from 0 – 14
- Injection timing and calculation points are shown on the plot

The 6.7L and 3.2L engines utilize a frequency-based hot film air meter. The digital output varies its period to indicate
a change in mass air flow. If the period is outside of a specified range, a fault is detected and the appropriate P-code
is set.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY REVISION DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2018 19.00.00.00-PAGE 133 OF 241
MAF Rationality Check
For the 6.7L engine, a rationality check of the mass air flow sensor is performed each time an air mass adaption
(AMA) executes. (The 3.2L engine does not use AMA.) AMA adapts at two points- one at idle, the other at a specific
speed/load. The ratio between the mass air flow and the reference mass air flow is calculated with the EGR valve
commanded to the closed position. The release of this plausibility check occurs under strict engine operating and
environmental conditions to minimize the affect of outside influences on mass air flow. At each AMA event, the
corrected value is stored for each point. These stored values are compared to a threshold, if the stored values are
greater than a threshold a fault is detected, as the air meter has drifted outside of its nominal operating range. In
addition to the stored values, the corrected airflow is compared to directly to the modeled airflow during AMA. If the
ratio of the corrected airflow and the modeled airflow is less than the threshold, a fault is detected. The following
figure outlines the strategy for the rationality checks.

Air Path Leakage Check
Similar to the mass air flow sensor functional check diagnostics, a rationality check of the mass air flow sensor is
performed each time an air mass adaption (AMA) executes which is used to detect instantaneous problems with the
air path. (Note: the 3.2L engine does not use AMA.) At idle, the ratio between the mass air flow and the reference
mass air flow is calculated with the EGR valve in the closed position. This ratio is compared against a threshold
once AMA has been released. The release of this plausibility check occurs under strict engine operating and
environmental conditions to minimize the affect of outside influences on mass air flow. The ratio has an upper and
lower limit, and the monitor runs once per drive cycle. A ratio too high indicates a post-turbocharger compressor air
path leak, while a ratio too low indicates an EGR valve that is no longer sealing effectively.

The following sensors and monitors are used for the DEF injection system on all 3.2L diesel variants.
The DEF pressure control system uses the measured DEF pressure in a feedback control loop to achieve the desired
DEF pressure. The DEF injection algorithm uses actual DEF pressure in its computation of DEF injector pulse width.
The DEF sensor is a gauge sensor. Its atmospheric reference hole is near the electrical connector. The DEF
pressure sensor has a nominal range of 0 to 0.8 MPa (0 to 8 bar, 0 to 116 psi). This pressure range is above the
maximum intended operating pressure of 0.5 MPa. The sensor voltage saturates at slightly above 0.5 and slightly
below 4.5 volts.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY REVISION DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2018 19.00.00.00-PAGE 140 OF 241
DEF Pressure Sensor
DEF pressure is often a vacuum when the system purges after running. Vacuums cannot be measured by the
DEF pressure gauge sensor as voltages will not be lower than 0.5 Volts.

Reductant Pressure Sensor Signal Range Check
A reductant Pressure Sensor that is substantially in error results in a DEF system fault (over or under injection). If
actual DEF pressure exceeds measured pressure, more DEF than that which would be expected is injected and
vice versa. This error would show up in the long term adaption trim (DEF LTA).
If the hydraulic circuit of the DEF system (pump, pressure line, & injector) is completely empty, i.e. purge cycle was
successfully completed during previous drive cycle, the DEF pressure is expected to read 0 kPa.
Based on sensor tolerances the deviation from zero is limited to 30 kPa.

DEF System Pressure Control
DEF pressure is maintained via feedback knowledge of sensed pressure. Pressure control is closed loop based on
the voltage of the DEF pressure sensor. If a pressure increase is desired, the reductant pump motor speed is
increased by increasing the PWM output. Pressure decreases are analogous; as the system has a backflow throttle,
pressure will decrease to 0 unless the pump motor in run continuously. Once the set point pressure (500 kPa) is
reached the following diagnostics are enabled.

Reductant Tank Level Sensor
For the 3.2L product, the task of the discrete level sensor is to measure the tank level at 3 different heights. The
determination of a reductant level is limited to liquid reductant. Frozen reductant cannot be detected. The measured
level will be used to update the calculation of remaining quantity in the reductant tank.
The level sensor consists of four high-grade stainless steel pins. The length of each pin defines the tank level (height)
which is to be checked. Only three pins can be used for level evaluation. The fourth pin is used as ground pin. Due
to the electrical conductivity of Urea the level sensor will determine whether the tank level is above or below the
respective level sensor position. This information will be directly evaluated by the ECU.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY REVISION DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2018 19.00.00.00-PAGE 146 OF 241
Reductant Tank Level Sensor Circuit Checks
The Reductant Tank Level Sensor and the Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor share the same ground wire.
Therefore an open load or short circuit to battery on the ground wire (reference pin) will set codes for both sensors.
If a certain level pin is covered by liquid all pins below this level should be covered as well and send the same
information. If this is not the case, an error flag will be set.

Reductant Tank Temperature Sensor
The Reductant Tank Temperature sensor is mounted internal to the Reductant Tank Level Sensor. It is used to
control the activation of the Reductant Tank Heater as well as an enabler to the Level Sensor (which cannot read
level when the reductant is frozen).

Reductant pressure is maintained via feedback knowledge of sensed pressure. A set point pressure is determined
by engine operating conditions (500 kPa over exhaust backpressure). If a pressure increase is desired, the reductant

Reductant Pump Motor and Pump Motor Controller (PMC)
The Reductant Pump is driven by a brushless DC electric 12 volt motor. The pump is a positive displacement
diaphragm design connected to the motor by a connecting rod and an eccentric on the motor shaft. The Pump
Motor Controller (PMC) is an electronic control module that that controls the pump motor to deliver pressurized
DEF to outlet port of the pump.
Reductant Pump Motor speed is controlled by a PWM driver in the PMC. Increasing the duty cycle of the PWM
increases the Pump Motor speed. PWM duty cycles between 43 and 95% are reserved for diagnostics.

Reductant Pump Motor Circuit Checks
The functional check monitors the Pump Motor Speed Deviation. This test is run if the commanded pump speed is
within normal operating range, i.e. duty cycle 6 to 30 %. In this test if the internal RPM measurement of the Reductant
Pump Motor speed is not matching the commanded speed within a certain percentage, a fault is detected and the
system is shut down for this key cycle.
The functional check of the PMC will detect a fault, turn off the pump and transmit the duty cycle that corresponds to
the chart above. If there are multiple faults then the one with the highest priority shall be transmitted.

Reductant Dosing Valve (Injector)
The reductant dosing valve is used to meter and atomize the reductant liquid before it is mixed with the exhaust

Reductant Heaters
Aqueous urea water solution (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) freezes at -11°C (12 deg. F). In order to keep the fluid liquid at
low ambient temperatures, the system includes 2 heaters:
tank heater (PTC heater element – self-regulating)
pressure line heater (Resistance heater)
The heater power stages are located in the glow plug control module (GPCM). The tank heater is connected to
heater power stage #1. The pressure line is connected to heater power stage #2.
All SCR-heater related circuit checks are performed inside the GCU. The information is sent via CAN to the engine
control module (ECM).
Additionally the GCU sends the supply voltage and the actual heater current for each circuit to the ECM.
Based on this information the heater plausibility checks are performed on the ECM.
Based on the information of heater voltage and heater current, the actual conductance at peak power is calculated
for each heater circuit. This value is checked against the nominal value including tolerances.

Additional plausibility check for heater circuit #2:
Pump heater & pressure line heater are connected in parallel to heater power stage #2. In order to be able to detect
a failure of just one of both heaters, the conductance of heater circuit #2 is continuously checked against a minimum
threshold. E.g. if the pressure line heater gets disconnected after peak conductance occurred, neither the plausibility
check nor the circuit checks inside the GCU can detect this error. Therefore this continuous check becomes
necessary.

Reductant Quality and Level sensor use ultrasonic waves to determine the concentration and level. The sensor
transmits an ultrasonic signal via Piezo Ceramics to a known distance from 1st reference to 2nd reference points
and records the time delta to calculate the concentration. The sensor then transmits a ultrasonic signal to the top
of the reductant fluid and measures the time delta for this signal and uses the concentration value to get a height of
fluid. These calculations are performed within the Engine Control Module ECM.

Reductant Pump Motor, Supply Pump and Back Flow Pump
The Reductant Supply and Backflow Pumps are driven by high frequency solenoid pumps.
The supply pump and back flow pumps are positive displacement pumps that use a diaphragm and solenoid
assembly to displace the reductant fluid to and from the urea line.

Reductant Pump Motor speed is controlled by a PWM driver in the engine ECU. Increasing the duty cycle of the
PWM increases the Pump Motor speed. Below is a stroke volume/pressure curve.
Supply volume is a function of temperature. At 13.7V and temperatures above 20°C the nominal operating
pressure of 6.3 bar maintains appropriate quality as temperature increases. As temperatures decrease the
maximum volume also decreases (this limitation is greater than the maximum dosing amount of reductant).
The Back flow pump is used to empty the dosing valve and partial emptying of the pressure line. The backflow
volume target is to remove the dosing module and one meter of the pressure line.

The functional check monitors the movement of the injector needle. When the injector needle reaches its upper
position (injector open, begin of injection period) a discontinuity in the slope of the dosing valve current occurs.

Reductant Heaters
Aqueous urea water solution (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) freezes at -11°C (12 deg. F). In order to keep the fluid liquid at
low ambient temperatures, the system includes 4 heaters:
tank heater (PTC heater element – self-regulating)
pressure line heater (Resistance heater)
pump heaters (solenoid)
dosing valve (solenoid)
The heater power stages are located in the dosing control unit (DCU). The tank heater is connected to heater power
stage #1. The pressure line to heater power stage #2. The pumps and dosing valve heater are on their own power
stage.
All SCR-heater related circuit checks and plausibility checks are performed inside the DCU. The diagnostic
information is sent via CAN to the engine control module (ECM) to flag DTC’s.
The cavity check diagnostic purpose is to detect an air cavity around the reductant tank heater. In the case of an
air cavity, reductant heating will be limited. This diagnostic checks the resistance of the heater. Such that when
the temperature increases, its resistance also increases, this lowers the current and reduces the heat quantity
supplied. If an air cavity has formed around the tank heater, the heat transfer to the environment will be reduced
considerably, the temperature of the heater will increase, and the heater will regulate the current. The function of
the monitor is to monitor the current of the tank heater, if current drops below a threshold a cavity will be detected.
Based on the information of heater voltage and heater current, the actual conductance at peak power is calculated
for heater 1 circuit and heater 2 circuit. This value is checked against the nominal value including tolerances.

Reductant Quality and Level sensor use ultrasonic waves to determine the concentration and level. The sensor
transmits an ultrasonic signal via Piezo Ceramics to a known distance from one reference point and records the
time delta to calculate the concentration. The sensor then transmits an ultrasonic signal to the top of the reductant
fluid and measures the time delta for this signal and uses the concentration value to get a height of fluid. These
calculations are performed within the Dosing Control Unit DCU and sends the signal to the ECU for functionality
checks. The temperature sensor is linear within the signal range.
The level sensor has a 10° sonic cone that improves accuracy of level measurement and reduces likelihood of
double reflections that may give inappropriate level values. The level sensor is 15mm above the base of the tank,
the use of a modeled level is used when the level is below this value.

Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Rationality Test
Each EGT Sensor is checked continuously for proper circuit continuity and out of range high values. In addition, a
rationality test is performed once every drive cycle, after a soak of 6 hours or greater. The rationality test consists of
two components, the first being a comparison against modeled values, and the second being a key-on 4-way
temperature sensor comparison. At key-on, a temperature sample is taken of each of the following sensors: Exhaust
Gas Temperature (EGT11), Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT12), Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT13), and Exhaust
Gas Temperature (EGT14). Once the engine starts and a cold start has been confirmed, the model comparison
tests begin. The model comparison tests ensure that each sensor correlates with an expected modeled value, and
a fault is set if the difference is significant (greater than upper threshold or less than lower threshold) and persistent.
In the second rationality test, the temperature samples from 4 EGTs at key-on are compared against each other,
and the temperature differences are compared against a threshold. One sensor must fail key-on plausibility with
three other sensors to set a fault. If two or more sensors fail plausibility with the remaining sensors,, then appropriate
faults pointing to the faulty EGTs are set. The first (model versus sensor) rationality tests rely on entry conditions
that include engine on time, minimum modeled temperature, minimum engine coolant temperature, and minimum
engine torque. Once the entry conditions have been met, the model comparisons continue for several minutes to
ensure a robust detection. The modeled value for EGT11 is based on Modeled Turbo Temperatures. The modeled
value for EGT12 is based on EGT11. The modeled value for EGT13 is based on EGT12. The modeled value for
EGT14 is based on EGT13. In addition, both plausibility tests depend on minimum engine soak time of 6 hours or
more.

If the position governor deviation is above a maximum calibrated threshold then counter starts to count up for the
detection of a permanent positive control fault. If the counter reaches a calibrated threshold then a jammed valve
malfunction is detected. Similarly, if the position governor deviation is below a minimum calibrated threshold then a
second counter starts to count up for the detection of permanent negative control deviation fault. If the counter
reaches a calibration threshold then a jammed valve is detected.

throttle.
The throttle valve has a component level diagnostic to make sure that the valve is not stuck or sticking in a manner
such that it cannot reach the desired position. The monitor runs if a jammed valve is not already detected, position
control is in closed-loop control, and adaptive learning is not active.
If the position governor deviation is above a maximum calibrated threshold then counter starts to count up for the
detection of a permanent positive control fault. . If the counter reaches a calibrated threshold then a jammed valve
malfunction is detected. Similarly, if the position governor deviation is below a minimum calibrated threshold then a
second counter starts to count up for the detection of permanent negative control deviation fault. If the counter
reaches a calibration threshold then a jammed valve is detected.
A special case exists if the throttle is jammed in the closed position during crank. When the throttle is jammed in the
closed position the engine is unable to start. The counter counts up more quickly to allow for the fault to be detected
before the crank ends.

Active Grill Shutter Control – 3.0L and 1.5L Only
The 3.0L and 1.5L engines are equipped with Active Grill Shutters (AGS) that are controlled by the ECU. For the
3.0L only there are two sets of grill shutters, upper “A” and lower “B”, and each has diagnostics related to endstop
detection, internal electrical faults, loss of communication with the AGS hardware, overtemperature, blockage/stuck,
under and over voltage of the actuator. The 1.5L has only one set of grill shutters and has the corresponding monitors
for it.
Figure above: This figure shows a grill shutter viewed from the outside grill for 3.0L only. The blue parts form a
duct keeping incoming air from flowing around the radiator.
Active Grill Shutter Endstop Detection will set a fault when the AGS does not detect an endstop when expected.
There are two scenarios under which the endstop is expected, during the self-calibration of the AGS or when it is
commanded via the ECU.

GLOW PLUGS AND GLOW PLUG CONTROL MODULE (GPCM) FOR 6.7L AND
3.0L
The diesel engine uses glow plugs to assist with cold weather starting and combustion until the cylinder is warm
enough to operate normally. The glow plugs are duty cycle controlled and will overheat if constant 12V is applied.
The glow plugs are operated by the Glow Plug Control Module (GPCM). It contains 8 high current smart MOSFET
drivers, one for each glow plug. Glow time and intensity are calculated on the basis of CAN signals (rpm, torque,
engine coolant temp, air temp and BARO.) The module also contains 3 drivers for the DEF (NOx reductant) heating
and thawing system.

DSI leakage monitor addresses the detection of a leaking DSI system in normal lean condition when it is not
supposed to dispense fuel to exhaust pipe. DSI monitoring during normal operation is achieved through exhaust
temperature feedbacks. DSI leakage is detected by comparing measured post-SBS temperature with a modeled
post-SBS temperature value under enable conditions. If the difference between post-SBS temperature and model
temperature exceeds certain threshold, DSI system detects leakage fault.

6R140 (RWD) TRANSMISSION WITH EXTERNAL PCM OR TCM
The 6R140 is a 6-speed, step ratio transmission that is controlled by an external PCM (gas engine applications) or
TCM (Diesel engine applications). For Diesel the TCM communicates to the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS
Module, Instrument Cluster and Transfer Case Control Module using the high speed CAN communication link. The
TCM incorporates a standalone OBD-II system. The TCM independently processes and stores fault codes, freeze
frame, supports industry-standard PIDs as well as J1979 Mode 09 CALID and CVN. The TCM does not directly
illuminate the MIL, but requests the ECM to do so. The TCM is located outside the transmission assembly. It is not
serviceable with the exception of reprogramming.
Transmission Inputs
6R140 uses a Non-contacting Pulse Width Modulated Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) that provides a duty cycle
signal for each position. This signal is transmitted at a frequency of 125 Hz. The PCM / TCM decode the duty cycle
to determine the driver-selected gear position (Park, Rev, Neutral, OD, 3, 2, 1). This input device is checked for
frequency out of range (P0706), duty cycle out of range low (P0707) and duty cycle out of range high (P0708)
Speed Sensors
The Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor and Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor are Hall effect sensors.
The Turbine Shaft Speed sensor is monitored by a rationality test, if engine speed and output shaft speed are high
and a gear is engaged, it can be inferred that the vehicle is moving. If there is insufficient output from the TSS sensor
a fault is stored (P0715).
The Output Shaft Speed sensor is monitored by a rationality test. If engine speed and turbine speed are high and a
gear is engaged, it can be inferred that the vehicle is moving. If there is insufficient output from the OSS sensor a
fault is stored (P0720).
The Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor is checked for out of range low (P0712), out of range high (P0713),
and in-range failures (P0711). P1783 sets if TFT exceeds 275 deg F for 5 seconds, indicating transmission over
temperature (non-MIL failure).
FORD MOTOR COMPANY REVISION DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2018 19.00.00.00-PAGE 228 OF 241
Transmission Outputs
SSA – a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) that controls CB1234 (a brake clutch, grounds an element to the
case, that is on in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear)
SSB – a VFS that controls C35R (a rotating clutch on in 3rd, 5th and Reverse)
SSC – a VFS that controls CB26 (a brake clutch on in 2nd and 6th gear)
SSD – a VFS that controls CBLR (a brake clutch on in 1st gear with engine braking and Reverse)
SSE – a VFS that controls C456 (a rotating clutch on in 4th, 5th and 6th gear)
Output circuits are checked for opens, short to ground and short to power faults (codes listed in that order) by the
"smart driver" (see ADLER below) that controls the solenoids (SSA P0750, P0973, P0974; SSB P0755, P0976,
P0977; SSC P0760, P0979, P0980; SSD P0765, P0982, P0983; SSE P0770, P0985, P0986).
The shift solenoids are also functional tested for stuck on and stuck off failures. This is determined by vehicle inputs
such as gear command, and achieved gear (based on turbine and output speed). In general the shift solenoid
malfunction codes actually cover the entire clutch system (solenoid, valves, seals and the clutch itself since using
ratio there is no way to isolate the solenoid from the rest of the clutch system)
For SSA thru SSE Diagnostics will isolate the fault into clutch functionally (non-electrical) failed off (SSA P0751, SSB
P0756, SSC P0761, SSD P0766. SSE P0771) and clutch functionally failed on (SSA: P0752, SSB: P0757, SSC:
P0762, SSD: P0767, SSE: P0772).
If ratio errors are detected that do not match an expected pattern for a failed solenoid then gear ratio error fault codes
(1st gear – P0731, 2nd gear – P0732, 3rd gear – P0733, 4th gear – P0734, 5th gear – P0735 or 6th gear – P0729) will
be stored.
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid is a Variable Force Solenoid. TCC solenoid circuit is checked
electrically for open, short to ground and short to power circuit faults internally by the "smart driver" that controls the
solenoids (P0740, P0742, P0744).
The TCC solenoid is checked functionally for stuck off faults by evaluating torque converter slip under steady state
conditions when the torque converter is fully applied. If the slip exceeds the malfunction thresholds when the TCC is
commanded on, a TCC malfunction is indicated (P0741).
The TCC solenoid is monitored functionally for stuck on faults (P2758) by monitoring for lack of clutch slip when the
TCC is commanded off, but this code is non-MIL because while a stuck on TCC solenoid may cause driveability
complaints and/or cause engine stalls it does not impact emissions or fuel economy.
The EPC solenoid is a variable force solenoid that controls line pressure in the transmission. The EPC solenoid is
monitored for open, short to ground or short to power faults by the "smart driver" that controls the solenoid. If a short
to ground (low pressure) is detected, a high side switch will be opened. This switch removes power from all 7 VFSs,
providing Park, Reverse, Neutral, and 5M (in all forward ranges) with maximum line pressure based on manual lever
position. This solenoid is tested for open (P0960), short to ground (P0962), and short to power (P0963) malfunctions.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY REVISION DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2018 19.00.00.00-PAGE 229 OF 241
Transmission Solenoid Power Control (TSPC)
6F140 PCM or TCM has an internal high side switch called TSPC that can be used to remove power from all 7
solenoids simultaneously. If the high side switch is opened, all 7 solenoids will be electrically off, providing Park,
Reverse, Neutral, and 5M (in all forward ranges) with maximum line pressure based on manual lever position.
Due to current limitations TSPC is split into 2 pins / wires at the PCM / TCM. TSPC A provides power to SSA, SSC
and SSE. TSPC B provides power to SSB, SSD, TCC and LPC. Each wire can be tested independently; P0657 sets
for an issue with TSPC-A, P2669 sets for an issue with TPSC-B.
Although there are 2 pins and wires between the PCM / TCM and the transmission bulkhead connector the PCM /
TCM contains only one TSPC internally – so the FMEM for either wire being failed is to open TSCP inside the PCM
/ TCM, which removes power from all 7 solenoids, providing P, R, N and 5th gear with open TCC and max line as
FMEM for any TPSC faults.
The solenoids are controlled by an ADLER chip. The main micro sends commanded solenoid states to the ADLER,
and receives back solenoid circuit fault information.
If communication with the ADLER is lost a P1636 fault code will be stored. If this failure is detected the states of the
solenoids are unknown, so the control system will open the high side switch (removes power from all the solenoids),
providing P, R, N and 5M with open TCC and max line pressure.
TRID Block
The TRID block is a portion of flash memory that contains solenoid characterization data tailored to the specific
transmission to improve pressure accuracy.
If the TRID block is unavailable FMEM action limits operation to P, R, N and 3rd gear based on manual lever position
until the issue is correct.

The TCM receives information from the ECM via the high speed CAN network. If the CAN link or network fails, the
TCM no longer has torque or engine speed information available. The TCM will store a U0073 fault code and will
illuminate the MIL immediately (missing engine speed) if the CAN Bus is off. The TCM will store a U0100 fault code
and will illuminate the MIL immediately (missing engine speed) if it stops receiving CAN messages from the ECM. A

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC EXECUTIVE
The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Executive is a portion of the PCM strategy that manages the diagnostic
trouble codes and operating modes for all diagnostic tests. It is the "traffic cop" of the diagnostic system. The
Diagnostic Executive performs the following functions:
The diagnostic executive also controls several overall, global OBD entry conditions.
The battery voltage must fall between 9.0 and 16.25 volts to initiate monitoring cycles.
The engine must be started to initiate the engine started, engine running, and engine off monitoring cycles.
The Diagnostic Executive suspends OBD monitoring when battery voltage falls below 11.0 volts.
The diagnostic executive controls the setting and clearing of pending and confirmed DTCs.
A pending DTC and freeze frame data is stored after a fault is confirmed on the first monitoring cycle. If the
fault recurs on the next driving cycle, a confirmed DTC is stored, freeze frame data is updated, and the MIL
is illuminated. If confirmed fault free on the next driving cycle, the pending DTC and freeze frame data is
erased on the next power-up.
Pending DTCs will be displayed as long as the fault is present. Note that OBD-II regulations required a
complete fault-free monitoring cycle to occur before erasing a pending DTC. In practice, this means that a
pending DTC is erased on the next power-up after a fault-free monitoring cycle.
After a confirmed DTC is stored and the MIL has been illuminated, three consecutive confirmed fault-free
monitoring cycles must occur before the MIL can be extinguished on the next (fourth) power-up. After 40
engine warm-ups, the DTC and freeze frame data is erased.
The diagnostic executive controls the setting and clearing of permanent DTCs.
A permanent DTC is stored when a confirmed DTC is stored, the MIL has been illuminated, and there are
not yet six permanent DTCs stored.
After a permanent DTC is stored, three consecutive confirmed fault-free monitoring cycles must occur before
the permanent DTC can be erased.
After a permanent DTC is stored, one confirmed fault-free monitoring cycle must occur, following a DTC
reset request, before the permanent DTC can be erased. For 2010MY and beyond ISO 14229 programs
a driving cycle including the following criteria must also occur, following the DTC reset request, before a
permanent DTC can be erased:
o Cumulative time since engine start is greater than or equal to 600 seconds;
o Cumulative vehicle operation at or above 25 miles per hour occurs for greater than or equal
to 300 seconds (medium-duty vehicles with diesel engines certified on an engine
dynamometer may use cumulative operation at or above 15% calculated load in lieu of at or
above 25 miles per hour for purposes of this criteria); and
o Continuous vehicle operation at idle (i.e., accelerator pedal released by driver and vehicle speed
less than or equal to one mile per hour) for greater than or equal to 30 seconds.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY REVISION DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2018 19.00.00.00-PAGE 232 OF 241
A permanent DTC cannot be erased by a KAM clear (battery disconnect). Additionally, its confirmed DTC
counterpart will be restored after completion of the KAM reset (battery reconnect).
Exponentially Weighted Moving Averaging (EWMA) is a well-documented statistical data processing technique
that is used to reduce the variability on an incoming stream of data. Use of EWMA does not affect the mean of the
data; however, it does affect the distribution of the data. Use of EWMA serves to “filter out” data points that exhibit
excessive and unusual variability and could otherwise erroneously light the MIL.
New Average = [New data point * “filter constant”] + [( 1 - “filter constant” ) * Old Average]
This equation produces an exponential response to a step-change in the input data. The "Filter Constant"
determines the time constant of the response. A large filter constant (i.e. 0.90) means that 90% of the new data
point is averaged in with 10% of the old average. This produces a very fast response to a step change. Conversely,
a small filter constant (i.e. 0.10) means that only 10% of the new data point is averaged in with 90% of the old
average. This produces a slower response to a step change.
When EWMA is applied to a monitor, the new data point is the result from the latest monitor evaluation. A new
average is calculated each time the monitor is evaluated and stored in Keep Alive Memory (KAM). This normally
occurs each driving cycle. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored based on the New Average store in KAM.
In order to facilitate repair verification and DDV demonstration, 2 different filter constants are used. A “fast filter
constant” is used after KAM is cleared or DTCs are erased and a “normal filter constant” is used for normal customer
driving. The “fast filter” is used for 5 driving cycles after KAM is cleared/DTCs are erased, and then the “normal
filter” is used. The “fast filter” allows for easy repair verification and monitor demonstration in 2 driving cycles, while
the normal filter is used to allow up to 6 driving cycles, on average, to properly identify a malfunction and illuminate
the MIL. This feature is called Fast Initial Response (FIR). The fast filter is always calibrated to 0.99 which means
that the EWMA is effectively disabled because the new average is 99% of the new data point. Since the EWMA is
effectively disabled, it takes two driving cycles to set the MIL. The first driving cycle with a fault will set a pending
DTC; the second driving cycle will set a confirmed code and illuminate the MIL.
The other unique feature used with EWMA is called Step Change Logic (SCL). This logic detects an abrupt change
from a no-fault condition to a fault condition. This is done by comparing the new data point to the EWMA old
average. If the two points differ by more than a calibrated amount (i.e. the new data point is outside the normal
distribution), it means that a catastrophic failure has occurred. The fast filter is then used in the same manner as
for the FIR feature above. Since the EWMA is effectively disabled, it takes two driving cycles to set the MIL. The
first driving cycle with a fault will set a pending DTC; the second driving cycle will set a confirmed code and illuminate
the MIL. The SCL becomes active after the 4th "normal" monitoring cycle to give the EWMA a chance to stabilize.
During "normal" EWMA operation, a slower filter constant is used. The "normal filer" allows the MIL to be illuminated
in 1 to 6 driving cycles. A confirmed code is set and the MIL is illuminated as soon as the EWMA crosses the
malfunction threshold. There is no pending DTC because EWMA uses a 1-trip MIL.
In order to relate filter constants to driving cycles for MIL illumination, filter constants must be converted to time
constants. The mathematical relationship is described below:

SERIAL DATA LINK MIL ILLUMINATION
The OBD-II diagnostic communication messages utilize an industry standard 500 kbps CAN communication link.
The instrument cluster on some vehicles uses the same CAN data link to receive and display various types of
information from the PCM. For example, the engine coolant temperature information displayed on the instrument
cluster comes from the same ECT sensor used by the PCM for all its internal calculations.
These same vehicles use the CAN data link to illuminate the MIL rather than a circuit, hard-wired to the PCM. The
PCM periodically sends the instrument cluster a message that tells it to turn on the MIL, turn off the MIL or blink the
MIL. If the instrument cluster fails to receive a message within a 5-second timeout period, the instrument cluster
itself illuminates the MIL. If communication is restored, the instrument cluster turns off the MIL after 5 seconds. Due
to its limited capabilities, the instrument cluster does not generate or store Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

CALCULATED LOAD VALUE
Where:
Current Calculation of torque is derived from the injected quantity of torque producing fuel and engine speed.
Maximum Engine Torque is derived from the maximum curve.
I/M READINESS
The readiness function is implemented based on the SAE J1979/ISO 15031-5 format. Clearing codes using a scan
tool results in the various I/M readiness bits being set to a “not-ready” condition. As each non-continuous monitor
completes a full diagnostic check, the I/M readiness bit associated with that monitor is set to a “ready” condition.
This may take one or two driving cycles based on whether malfunctions are detected or not. The readiness bit for
comprehensive component monitoring is immediately considered complete since they are continuous monitors.
The table below shows which monitors must complete for I/M readiness for MY2019 6.7L.

Power Take Off Mode
A Power Take-Off (PTO) unit refers to an engine driven output provision for the purposes of powering auxiliary
equipment (e.g., a dump-truck bed, aerial bucket, or tow-truck winch). The OBD-II regulations have historically
accommodated PTO by requiring the software to set all I/M readiness bits to "not complete" when PTO was
engaged and reset them to their previous state when PTO was disengaged.
The 2015 MY OBD-II regulations have changed the requirement for PTO mode. This is in reaction industry request
to accommodate PTO while the vehicle is stationary (stationary PTO) or while the vehicle is moving (mobile PTO).
In mobile PTO, some OBD monitors may not run or may run at reduced frequency. The changes to the OBD-II
regulations accommodate vehicles being I/M tested while PTO is engaged.
For the 2015 MY, the OBD II system is required to track the cumulative engine runtime with PTO active and set all
the OBD II I/M readiness bits to “not complete” if 750 minutes of cumulative engine runtime with PTO active has
occurred and all OBD monitors have not yet completed. The PTO timer pauses whenever PTO changes from
active to not active and resumes counting when PTO is re-activated. The PTO timer is reset to zero after all the
affected monitors have completed. If an OBD monitor is completely disabled by PTO mode, the affected IUMPR
numerator and denominator must also be disabled.
This new requirement provides a 750 minute allowance to run all OBD monitors before all the I/M readiness bits
are set to “not complete” in order to better accommodate vehicles that have monitors that run with reduced
frequency in PTO mode or have monitors that don’t run at all.
