New Course: Ford Power Stroke Sensors and Monitors

February 20, 2015

This course focuses on component and sensor testing for the Ford Power Stroke diesel family, including 6.0, 6.4, and 6.7 liter engines. Computer data expert Ron Bilyeu utilizes the Ford IDS to explore and diagnose the Power Stroke family’s on-board diagnostics systems. In this course, Mr. Bilyeu addresses the PCM inputs, powertrain control software, fuel system, intake system, and catalyst and exhaust systems. This course includes hand-on testing and live case studies with the IDS, which is Ford’s factory scan tool.

The OBD system monitors faults and initiates a DTC setting and MIL activation. The fault detection strategy and MIL operation are associated with the drive cycles. Pending DTC, an OBD is stored in the PCM’s keep-alive random access memory (RAM) when a fault is detected. The MIL is turned on after two consecutive drive cycles with faults. These monitoring systems have been installed in every diesel vehicle sold since 1997 to alert drivers of emission control malfunctions. Hundreds of sensors and monitoring systems are now part of every diesel vehicle, serving as a detailed diagnostic reference. This course covers just about every monitoring system in the Ford Power Stroke diesel family, their operations, communications, and diagnostic tips and tricks.
