Diagnostic Aids

NOTE: You should enter this Pinpoint Test only when directed here from Diagnostic Routines

To prevent the replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC areas may be at fault:

This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose only the following:

Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM) 

The Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM) interfaces with the EEC-IV system to provide control for the cooling fan, A/C clutch and the fuel pump. The CCRM also contains the EEC power relay which provides vehicle battery power (VPWR) to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and EEC-IV system. Refer to the following schematics for specific CCRM relay control.

Pusher Fan (Thunderbird SC) 

The Thunderbird SC has a pusher fan for additional cooling. The pusher fan is located in front of the radiator and uses a stand-alone relay that is controlled by the PCM

Dual and Single Function A/C Pressure Switch (ACPSW) (also known as Refrigerant Containment Switch) 

The ACPSW is used on some applications for additional A/C system pressure control and is also known as the refrigerant containment switch. The normally open medium pressure contacts close at a predetermined A/C head pressure and are used on all CCRM applications except the 2.3L Tempo/Topaz. This grounds the input to the PCM indicating that the high speed cooling fan is required. For the 3.0L SHO and Taurus Flex Fuel, the medium pressure ACPSW circuit is not wired to the PCM, but is wired directly to the CCRM for high speed cooling fan control. The normally closed high pressure contracts are used on all CCRM applications and open at a predetermined A/C head pressure. This turns off the A/C by opening the A/C demand circuit preventing the A/C pressure from rising to a level that would open the A/C high pressure relief valve. For additional information, refer to the Ventilation/Climate Control group of the service information.
