Diagnosis with IDS

NOTE: Due to static charging, measurements inside the transaxle using a multimeter are prohibited.

Stored DTCs in the engine management system may affect transmission control. As a result, faults in the transmission control system and engine management system must be rectified in accordance with the symptom-based diagnosis in FordEtis IDS.

Applications of IDS Standard include:

• Resetting the counter for fluid change intervals.
• Programming the selector lever position 'N'.
• Resetting the values learned by the TCM.

Resetting the counter for fluid change intervals

This function must be performed if the transmission fluid has been changed or a new automatic transaxle has been installed with the previous TCM.

This function resets the values stored for the pollution level of the transmission fluid.
