IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Section number 100-00 General Information contains the following important information (including this document):

Warnings, Notices and Notes

WARNINGS

Warnings provide information to avoid personal injury and to make sure service actions on critical safety systems are performed correctly. Warnings that apply to an entire system or workshop manual section are located in section 100-00 Description and Operation, Health and Safety Precautions.
For additional information, refer to: Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

NOTICES (in some publications, CAUTIONS)

Notices provide information to avoid damage to the vehicle or a component.

NOTES

Notes provide information critical for a complete and effective repair.

Warnings, Notices, or Notes that apply to an entire procedure will be placed at the beginning of the procedure. Warnings, Notices, or Notes that apply to a single step are placed at the beginning of the step. Those that apply to a group of steps will be placed at the first step requiring it.

Specified Chemicals or Materials

Throughout this manual, chemicals or materials are specified that must be used to properly complete a service procedure or diagnostic step. In the event a specific material is not readily available, a substitute material meeting the same specification may be used. Ford has not reviewed third party products for compliance with environmental, health or safety regulations and is not responsible for their use. Use of third party products is at your own risk. Additionally, such products may cause degraded performance, premature failures, and/or vehicle component damage. All chemicals or materials used for vehicle servicing should be checked for compliance with local environmental and health and safety regulations.

Mechanical Procedures

Illustrations in this manual may be used instead of written step instructions. Color-coding (see color scheme illustration) is used to communicate the required step action or actions. Service action icons may be used to add information regarding the required action.
For additional information, refer to: Symbols Glossary (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

Illustration Color-coding



Item Part Number Description
1 Blue - Target or primary component to be removed/installed (or disassembled/assembled).
2 Green - Components that need to be removed prior to or installed after the target/primary.
3 Brown - Components that need to be removed prior to or installed after the target/primary.
4 Yellow - Components to be set aside for access, but not removed. Also highlighted areas to inspect or adjust.
5 Magenta - Electrical connectors and fasteners such as nuts, bolts, clamps, or clips to be: detached, attached, loosened, moved, removed or installed.
6 Pale Blue - Special tool(s), general equipment, or common tools used in an uncommon way.

Other color coding

ILLUSTRATION TASK SEQUENCE

Components that must be removed or installed in a specific sequence are identified with a numbered callout. Any associated step text is numbered accordingly.

Simple procedure example showing color-coding and task sequence

Black arrows are used to draw attention to components (usually fasteners). Arrows with multiples specified (here, x2) identify an identical number of fasteners or items. Callouts (numbers inside circles) show a required sequence or tightening torque.

In the illustration, the callouts indicate the removal sequence, which is reversed for installation . The yellow coloring of the hose indicates it is to be positioned aside (not removed). Two identical (magenta-colored) fasteners are indicated by the x2 arrow. The fasteners in this illustration require different torques (same torque for the x2 fasteners) so numbered callouts are used to identify them with torque values in the associated step text. The (magenta-colored) hose clamp is another fastener to be removed.

Examples of fastener removal sequence and an identical service action for 12 fasteners. Other possible symbols are shown on the right.

HIDDEN DETAILS

Separate detail boxes or transparent components may be used to show hidden items in an illustration.

Example of hidden fastener information



SERVICE ACTION ICONS

Service action icons may be used to add information regarding the required action.
For additional information, refer to: Symbols Glossary (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

Location symbols show the location of a component or system on the vehicle



Example of service action icons pointing to highlighted components



Movement arrows and service action icons show three dimensional or rotational movements.



Color-coding and service action icons show application of sealer, lubricant, weight, tape or cleaning liquid



Measurement symbols provide the information required to perform a specific measurement. These symbols may include specific values.

SPECIAL TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS AND TORQUE VALUES

When Ford special tools are required for the procedure, the tool and tool number are shown in an illustration. Special tool numbers, general equipment, materials or torque values for the procedure step are shown in the text steps.

Example of special service tool and symbol used to hold the gear shift in the required gear position. Other possible symbols are shown on the right.



Example of two illustrations used together with sequence steps, service action icons and special service tools



Tool symbols direct the use of standard tools. The tool size or dimension may be specified.

HEALTH AND SAFETY SYMBOLS

Some procedures may contain health and safety symbols that are associated with a specific service action.
For additional information, refer to: Symbols Glossary (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).
Always read and understand all health and safety precautions found in Section 100-00 before beginning any procedure. For additional information, refer to: Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

ISO warning symbols may be used to indicate potential hazards.



These symbols prohibit various hazardous actions



These symbols direct the use of personal protection equipment

Diagnosis and Testing Information

ELEMENTS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

Diagnosis and Testing may include:

Some diagnostics may be contained in Symptom Based Diagnostics. Some engine performance and emission diagnostics may be placed in a separately published PC/ED manual.

MODULE NAMES MATCH THE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN TOOL

Module names and PID names in this manual match the Ford diagnostic scan tool: IDS .

The same diagnostic scan tool module name is found in some DTC definitions (for example, U024B Lost Communication with Seat Control Module "G").

MODULE DESCRIPTIVE NAMES

A descriptive name is sometimes added to the diagnostic scan tool name to clarify module function. The descriptive name will be followed by the diagnostic scan tool acronym in brackets.
