Mechanics Guide Step-by-step diagnosis

Step-by-Step Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Understand the circuit first: The CMP output signal the PCM re-transmits (to the FICM on 6.0L) is open - causes a no-start or die-out; distinct from the CMP sensor input codes.

  2. Check the output signal wiring end to end per the Ford pinpoint test.

  3. Inspect connectors for corrosion and spread terminals.

  4. Do not replace the cam/crank SENSOR for this code - the sensors have their own separate codes.
