Clearing Trouble Codes

NOTE: Ford DOES NOT provide a procedure to retrieve or clear trouble codes. Code retrieval is integrated into the EATC Module Self-Test. Ford DOES NOT provide an alternate procedure for performing the Self-Test with an NGS or generic tester tester.

SELF TEST

Diagnostic Trouble Code Index:

1. NOTE: Intermittent (run time) trouble codes will be deleted after 80 ignition cycles.
The remote climate control module is capable of displaying both self-test faults and intermittent (run time) faults on the integrated control panel. To obtain these codes, perform the following EATC on-board diagnostics test:
^ On-board diagnostics should be run in ambient temperatures between 10°C (50°F) and 32°C (90°F). Record all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) displayed during diagnostic test mode.
^ Turn ignition switch to RUN position.
^ Push both OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously, then press AUTO within two seconds.
^ The test may run as long as 30 seconds while the display will show a dashed line in the center of the display window.
^ After about 20 seconds, a DTC will appear in the display. Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Index to identify the proper diagnostic procedures.
^ To exit the diagnostic test mode, press the blue button. When the EATC system assembly is turned back on, the A/C air temperature control door will self-calibrate for 20 seconds.
2. If self-test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, go to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. Electronic Climate Control
3. If DTCs are retrieved, go to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Index to continue diagnostics.
4. It the remote climate control module cannot be accessed by the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester 007-00500 or equivalent, go to Pinpoint Test E. E: No Module Communication
