Pinpoint Tests ZZ: Intermittent: Introduction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose and isolate intermittent concerns for all electronic engine control (EEC) subsystems.

This chart is used to determine which test to run for the suspect circuit. Parameter identifiers (PIDs) corresponding to each circuit are listed. Some circuits do not have an associated PID or the PID may not be available and has to be measured with a digital multimeter (DMM). More specific information on the PID can be found in ENGINE CONTROLS - REFERENCE VALUES (DIESEL) .
