AA3 IVS CHECK

Fully depress accelerator pedal while observing IVS.

Does IVS PID go ON at any pedal travel?

Yes	No
REPLACE accelerator pedal. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.	GO to AA4.

AA4 IVS RESISTANCE CHECK

Disconnect IVS connector. Inspect for damaged or pushed out pins, corrosion, loose wires. Repair as necessary.
Measure resistance across IVS on accelerator pedal with accelerator pedal depressed.

Is resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes	No
F-Series, GO to AA5. Econoline, GO to AA8.	REPLACE accelerator pedal assembly. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

AA5 IVS FUSE CHECK

Key on/engine off.
Check Fuse 3 (3 amp) in IP fuse panel.

Is Fuse 3 OK?

Yes	No
GO to AA6.	REPLACE fuse. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

AA6 CIRCUIT 16 (R/LG) RESISTANCE CHECK

Key on/engine off.
Remove Maxi Fuse P (50 amp) from the power distribution box.
Measure resistance between non-power side of Fuse P and power side of Fuse 3.

Is resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes	No
GO to AA7.	REPAIR open in Circuit 16 (R/LG) between power distribution box and IP fuse panel. REFER to EVTM for circuit information.

AA7 CIRCUIT 276 (BR) RESISTANCE CHECK

Key off.
Fuse 3 removed.
Measure resistance between non-power side of Fuse 3 and Circuit 276 (BR) at IVS connector.

Is resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes	No
GO to AA9.	REPAIR open in Circuit 276 (BR). REFER to EVTM for circuit information. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

AA8 CHECK CIRCUIT 16 (R/LG) RESISTANCE

Key off.
IVS connector disconnected.
Remove Fuse U (30 amp) from power distribution box.
Measure resistance between non-power side of Fuse U and Circuit 16 (R/LG) at IVS connector.

Is resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes	No
GO to AA9 (49 State except Econoline). GO to AA11 (California and all Econoline).	REPAIR open in Circuit 16 (R/LG) between power distribution box and IVS. REFER to the Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) for circuit information.

AA9 CHECK CIRCUIT 308 (R/O) FOR OPEN (49 STATE EXCEPT ECONOLINE)

Disconnect PCM. Inspect for damaged, pushed-out pins, corrosion and loose wires. Service as necessary.
Connect breakout box. Leave PCM disconnected.
Key off.
Measure resistance between Circuit 308 (R/O) at IVS connector and Pin 5 on breakout box.

Is resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes	No
REPLACE PCM. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.	REPAIR open in Circuit 308 (R/O). CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.

AA10 CHECK CIRCUIT 308 (R/O) SHORT TO POWER

Disconnect IVS connector.

Does IVS PID read OFF?

Yes	No
REPLACE accelerator pedal. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.	REPAIR short to power in IVS Circuit 308 (R/O).

AA11 CHECK CIRCUIT 308 (R/O) FOR OPEN (CALIFORNIA AND ALL ECONOLINE)

Disconnect PCM. Inspect for damaged, pushed-out pins, corrosion and loose wires. Service as necessary.
Connect breakout box. Leave PCM disconnected.
Key off.
Measure resistance between Circuit 308 (R/O) at IVS connector and Pin 10 on the breakout box.

Is resistance less then 5 ohms?

Yes	No
REPLACE PCM. CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.	REPAIR open in Circuit 308 (R/O). CLEAR DTCs and RETEST.
